Abraham prefers blown-in cellulose, and at the estimate he'll tell you which job your house needs.

Attic

Blown-in attic insulation

Loose-fill insulation blown across the attic floor. Abraham prefers cellulose because air moves through fiberglass more easily.

Walls

Sidewall insulation

We dense-pack existing walls from outside, or from inside when we have to, and patch the holes with a filler that won't shrink or crack. It helps in homes of any age, even walls that already have fiberglass batts.

Basement

Basement wall insulation

Foam board glued to bare basement walls with the seams taped, or cellulose, batting or blown-in batting in walls that are already framed. Water problems have to be fixed first.

Over the garage

Garage ceiling insulation

A bedroom or bonus room over an attached garage stays cold until the garage ceiling is air sealed and insulated. We do both.

Under the floor

Bathroom floor insulation

Cold bathroom floors are a common job. How Abraham fixes one depends on where the bathroom sits in the house, so he looks before he bids.

New construction

Blown-In Batting (BIB)

For new builds and full remodels, while the walls are still open to the studs. Abraham works with remodeling companies more than builders.

Removal

Insulation removal and replacement

We vacuum out insulation ruined by animals, water or mold, or pull it out so we can air seal underneath, then blow in new insulation.

Add-on

Air sealing

Before insulating, we seal the gaps around plumbing vents, flue pipes and wall tops in the attic floor, and over bulkheads and chaseways.

Between rooms

Sound insulation

Blown-in cellulose in interior walls and floors to cut noise between rooms. Rock wool is an option, but Abraham finds cellulose performs just as well.

Inspection

Thermal imaging inspection

An infrared camera shows missing insulation and air leaks. It needs very hot or very cold weather to get a good read, so it isn't part of every estimate.

Abraham LaMark, owner of Insulate Iowa

Abraham LaMark has run the company since 2008

Abraham started the company in 2008, after working for another insulation company and not liking how it treated its clients. He started it during a recession and figured that if the company could make it then, it could make it through anything. He's on site for every job, and his crew has been with him for 16 years.

“We are of service to the community. Once we do insulation work in your house it will be more energy efficient and more comfortable.”
