Note the age of the house and what insulation you have now. Pebble-like vermiculite in an older attic should be treated as possible asbestos and left undisturbed.
Paid residential insulation work above a threshold set by state law needs a LARA Maintenance & Alteration license listing Insulation, or a Residential Builder license.
How we check credentials →Compare air sealing scope, material, installed depth or R-value, ventilation details, rebate paperwork and the written warranty, not just the total.
Metro Detroit has long, cold winters and a lot of older housing, and many homes lose heat through thin attic insulation, uninsulated walls and leaky basements. Use this page to pick the right insulation service, request quotes from local contractors, and check the details that decide whether the job actually works. If you want a whole-house test first, start with energy auditors; if animals damaged the attic, see pest and wildlife control before re-insulating.
Say which areas you want insulated (attic, walls, basement, crawl space), what is there now, and what you are noticing: cold rooms, ice dams, drafts or high heating bills. Photos of the attic floor and hatch help. In an older home, mention if you see vermiculite or knob and tube wiring.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA Residential Builder or Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license; M&A licenses list trades such as Insulation. Whether insulation needs a building permit depends on the municipality and scope; remodels and additions are usually inspected. The EPA advises assuming vermiculite insulation contains asbestos; removal belongs with a contractor licensed through the MIOSHA Asbestos Program.
Ask what gets air sealed, which material is used, the installed depth or R-value, how soffit ventilation is kept open, and how bath fans exhaust. For foam, ask about the thermal or ignition barrier. Ask which utility rebates apply and who files them; DTE, for example, lists insulation rebates and participating contractors. Then check verification status as described in How We Vet.
Pros serve all six counties, but permits come from the legal municipality, which is not always the city on your mailing address. In Detroit, building permits go through BSEED. Brick bungalows, colonials and older frame homes are common here, and some older brick homes have solid masonry walls with no cavity to fill. Browse by city or county, such as Wayne, Oakland or Macomb.
