Before you hire in Howell

Pre-war construction

16% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1979 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Howell building department before work starts.

Radiant Barrier in Howell: FAQ

It depends on attic size, framing, install method, access and whether insulation or air sealing is added at the same time.
It mainly cuts summer heat gain, so the benefit is smaller in a heating climate. Air sealing and more insulation usually come first.
Foil laid flat on insulation can trap moisture and collect dust. Installing it on rafters with an air gap avoids most problems.
