Noah Schmitz
2 months agoSecond owner of a house insulated by Metro. They did a terrible job and I am shocked they have such good reviews. Most of the attic had ~6 inches but there were areas with less than 2. You can see the tops of the 2x6 trusses through most of the attic for reference. Additionally, the installation card for the cellulose they installed clearly states to keep the cellulose away from water heater flues. They had insulation blown right up against it - this is a major safety issue as attic fires can go undetected until it's too late. Extremely disappointed -

5 months agoAgain fast and fair pricing. Gotta love a company that values its customers. I have sent several other families to them and they have not been disappointed! Will use them for all our insulation needs at home and work. They did our attic and we have been able to keep the house cool this summer! Update: Again these guys do not disappoint. I sent one of the folks from our church and not only did they do an excellent job but they kept under the budgeted ammount. Very happy to know the guys at Metro -

6 months agoI'm 70 a year ago I bought neglected home. No insulation was the least of many issues but the first I addressed. No regrets! January I crawled from beneath electric blanket it was 44° in living room the furnace died. Would've been worse without insulation. But The Best Thing Was I Had Insulation Done In Basement and bugs that overrran my house last summer weren't an issue this year. Somehow insulating top and bottom saved Pest Control twice yearly (according to neighbor previous owner did do that). The bugs stay outside. -

8 months agoFoam Slab Jacking I recently worked with Metro Insulation in Rockford for concrete foam jacking to lift and level several sunken and uneven concrete slabs, steps, and a ramp around my property-and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the initial call to the final cleanup, their team was professional, punctual, and experienced. Josh walked me through the entire process, explaining how they would inject high-density polyurethane foam beneath the problem areas to raise and stabilize them. The work was done efficiently, using relatively small injection holes, and the crew was extremely respectful-especially when working inside my home and in the basement. The slabs were challenging to lift, but they got them level again. They filled some voids under the concrete as well and made sure that the concrete is solid again. They also went the extra mile to protect nearby finished surfaces throughout the job. Overall I could not be happier with my decision to use Metro Insulation for foam slab jacking. -

FAQ
Does Metro Insulation offer free estimates for insulation projects?
We provide free estimates to assess your home's insulation needs, such as energy leaks through blower door testing or infrared thermography. Our team walks through the property, identifies draft sources like sill plates or windows, and outlines options including cellulose insulation or spray foam. This helps you understand costs based on the home's size, current insulation levels, and specific services like weatherization or soundproofing.
Are you licensed and insured for insulation and general contracting work?
Metro Insulation holds proper licensing as a general contractor and insulation specialist, with over 20 years of experience since 2003 as a third-generation Rockford-owned company. We carry insurance to protect your property during services like attic spray foam application or cellulose blowing. Homeowners can verify our credentials through state contractor resources for added peace of mind.
Does Metro Insulation handle spray foam insulation and cellulose installation in attics and garages?
We install spray foam insulation in attics, garages, and walls to seal air leaks and improve energy efficiency, as seen in our work with protective suits and stilts for precise application. Cellulose insulation is blown into walls and ceilings as a non-fiberglass alternative that reduces noise and drafts. These methods, along with fiberglass and blow-in blanket systems, ensure comprehensive coverage for new and retrofit homes.
What is your typical timeline and arrival window for insulation jobs?
We schedule projects based on your availability, with most insulation installations like blower door testing or weatherstripping completed in one to two days depending on home size. Our crew arrives within a confirmed two-hour window, equipped with trucks and tools ready for tasks such as sill plate sealing or window replacement. Quick response times allow us to address any on-site adjustments promptly.
How does Metro Insulation handle cleanup and after-project care?
We lay down protective coverings before starting and thoroughly clean up insulation debris, dust, and materials at the end of each job. If minor issues arise, like a disconnected duct during cellulose blowing, our team corrects them immediately and ensures your home is left spotless. This includes vacuuming attics, garages, and work areas to minimize mess from services like caulking or soundproofing.
Why is hiring you for home insulation safer and more effective than doing it yourself?
Professional installation uses specialized equipment for even coverage of spray foam or cellulose, avoiding gaps that cause drafts and higher energy bills in DIY attempts. We conduct energy audits and infrared scans to target leaks precisely, ensuring fire-resistant materials like fiberglass meet safety standards without health risks from improper handling. This approach delivers long-term comfort, noise reduction, and potential tax credits through verified performance.
