Homes waste energy in different ways. We look at how attic, walls, floors, and crawl space work together in Charlotte’s climate, then fix what matters most.

Retrofit older Charlotte homes with dense-pack cellulose or fiberglass for even comfort in every room.
Crawl Space Insulation:
Protect living areas from cold floors with insulation over unconditioned crawl spaces.
Crawl Space Encapsulation:
Seal and insulate your crawl space to stop moisture, pests, and drafts from creeping into your home.

Real Stories from Satisfied Charlotte Homeowners
Charlotte Insulation Company FAQs
What happens during a Free Energy Analysis?
A trained specialist inspects the attic, walls (where accessible), floors, and crawl space; checks insulation depth/condition; looks for air leaks and moisture risks; and reviews HVAC/duct exposure in unconditioned areas. You’ll receive a plain‑English summary with photos, recommended R‑values for Charlotte’s climate, and a clear quote with options.
How do you verify the installation was done right?
We document coverage with photos and depth markers, ensure even insulation levels at edges and around penetrations, and seal critical air leaks before insulating. When appropriate, we perform infrared spot checks or blower‑door testing as part of the analysis plan. A supervisor signs off on every job.
Can you help with rebates and federal tax credits?
Yes. As a Duke Energy Preferred Contractor, we guide you through available rebates and handle the paperwork. We also outline current federal incentives for qualifying improvements so you understand the net cost before you decide.
What’s the difference between an insulation company and an insulation contractor?
An insulation company provides materials, installation, and service guarantees. A contractor may only handle installation. Standard Insulating Company does both.
Are you an Owens Corning Certified Energy Expert?
Yes. We’re the only Owens Corning Certified Energy Expert® insulation company in Charlotte.
Do Certified Energy Experts offer special warranties?
Yes. Our customers receive a Limited Lifetime Product Warranty plus a 10-Year Workmanship Warranty backed by Owens Corning.
How much does it cost to hire an insulation contractor?
Most projects range from $2,000–$5,000 depending on size and materials. We provide free energy analyses and written estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
Why does choosing the right company matter?
Poor installation leaves gaps and drafts, which wastes money. Hiring a qualified Charlotte insulation company ensures the job is done right and delivers lasting comfort.
How do I find the best insulation company in Charlotte?
Look for a contractor with decades of local experience, certified crews, and strong reviews. Standard Insulating Company has been serving Charlotte homeowners since 1945.
What should I do to prepare for installation day?
Please clear access to the attic hatch/crawl entrance, move vehicles to provide driveway access for equipment, and secure pets. We protect floors and work areas, and we vacuum/clean up before leaving.
Will insulation work be messy or disruptive?
We stage carefully, use containment where needed, and clean as we go. Expect short‑term noise during blowing or drilling (for wall retrofits), but we minimize disruption and protect finished areas.
How soon can installation be scheduled after the analysis?
Most projects can be scheduled promptly after you approve the proposal. Your coordinator will confirm the timeline based on crew availability and material lead times.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes. We have financing programs available for qualified customers. Your coordinator can review monthly payment options alongside any utility rebates so you can choose what fits your budget.
