About Tifton, GA

We're based in Tifton, so most of our calls come from houses we drive past every week: older homes near downtown with plaster walls and not much in the attic, brick ranches sitting on crawl spaces, and newer subdivisions where the gaps around the lights and the hatch never got sealed. A good share are rentals, and landlords usually call us after a tenant complains about the power bill or a bedroom that won't cool down.

The cities around us, like Adel and Moultrie, have a lot of the same houses. Most sit over a crawl space with the ductwork running through the attic, so a job here usually means working above and below the house.

Services in Tifton, GA

  • Attic air sealing

    Older Tifton houses leak air around can lights, plumbing pipes and the attic hatch. We seal those gaps first, so new insulation isn't fighting a draft coming up from the rooms below.

  • Attic insulation

    Many attics here have a few settled inches that run thin at the eaves. We bring the depth up evenly, edges included, and keep the eave vents clear so the attic breathes.

  • Spray foam insulation

    Loose fill on the attic floor leaves ductwork baking up there all summer. Spray foam insulation on the roof deck seals and insulates at once, so the ducts sit in cooler air.

  • Insulation removal

    Storm roof leaks and rodents leave old insulation wet or full of droppings. We pull it out before anything new goes in, because covering it just hides the problem.

  • Crawl space vapor barrier

    Bare dirt under a crawl space keeps the framing damp through our humid summers. We cover the ground with a vapor barrier so that moisture stays out of the floor joists.

  • Crawl space insulation

    Cold floors usually mean the crawl space has thin insulation or old fiberglass hanging loose. Once the moisture is handled, we insulate under the floor so the rooms above stay warmer.

Working in Tifton: permits, licenses and what moves the price

Inside city limits, the City of Tifton's Building and Permitting office issues permits for new construction, renovations and additions, and the city wants the permit in hand before work begins, so on a job that needs one, the permit sets our start date. Before you hire anybody, you can check with the state licensing board that they hold an active contractor license, since the state's guide for residential contractors says the work is legal only with one, and you can ask to see their City of Tifton business license, which every business in the city has to get. We're licensed and fully insured.

I don't price a job until I've been in the attic and under the house, because the cost turns on how many inches are already up there, whether old insulation has to come out first, how many gaps need sealing, how hard the space is to get into, and whether you go with foam or loose fill. The schedule moves with the permit, any repairs that have to come first, and how much old material we're hauling out. Your written estimate lists each area and material, so you can see what you're paying for. We do this same work in Sylvester and Fitzgerald.

Tifton, GA properties and local conditions

Summer here runs long, hot and humid, and the attic over a shingle roof gets a lot hotter than it is outside. That heat soaks down through thin insulation into the upstairs and the room over the garage, and the AC runs all afternoon trying to keep up, which is most of why people call us about the power bill. The same damp air settles into crawl spaces, where it wets the framing and the insulation under the floor. We usually work both ends of the house, because fixing the attic and leaving a wet crawl space tends to bring you right back to the phone.

The city puts out word that hurricane season starts June 1 and asks folks to be ready. A storm that drives rain under the shingles can soak attic insulation without anybody noticing, and wet insulation quits working and holds water against the wood. I look for stains and matted spots on every visit, and we don't cover anything until the leak is fixed and the wet material is out.

How it goes when you call us about your Tifton house

  1. Call or send a request

    Call (229) 479-8005 or use the form, and we'll get back to you to pick a time for me to come out. Somebody needs to be home for the visit so I can get into the attic and the crawl space.

  2. I look the house over

    I go through the attic, walls and crawl space and ask about gas appliances and any termite contract, since sealing changes how gas appliances get their air and a termite company usually needs to see the foundation. You get a written estimate listing each area and material, so you know what every dollar covers before you decide.

  3. We fix, seal, then insulate

    If you go ahead, we list anything that has to be fixed first, like a roof leak or wet insulation, and handle the permit paperwork where the job needs it. Then our crew seals the gaps before any insulation goes in, with me running the job, because nobody sees under it again once it's covered.

  4. We walk the job together

    When we're done, I walk the finished job with you so you can see the depth, the sealed gaps and the clear vents for yourself. The work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Does my insulation job in Tifton need a building permit?

We find out before we put you on the schedule. I check the job with the city's Building and Permitting office, which reviews plans against city and state codes, and when the job calls for a permit we take care of the paperwork before anyone climbs into your attic.

How do I request a building inspection in Tifton, GA?

Inspection requests go to the city's Building and Permitting office at 229-391-3918. Questions about a permit submission go to 229-391-3950 instead. On jobs where we handle the permit, we usually make that call and let you know when to expect the inspector.

How much does it cost to insulate an attic in Tifton?

Your number comes from the written estimate, because the price turns on what I find in your attic and crawl space. Foam costs more and seals air while it insulates, but for most attics here, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in, which is loose fill blown through a hose, is the better buy unless your ductwork lives up there.

Which electric company serves my house in Tifton?

Inside Tifton city limits it's most likely Georgia Power. Tifton and Tift County are served by both Georgia Power and Colquitt EMC, and which one you have depends on where you are. Whichever it is, having a summer bill handy when I come out helps us talk about where the money is going.

What causes a high power bill in an older Tifton house?

Usually it's air leaking through gaps around can lights, pipes and the attic hatch, plus insulation that's thin or settled, so the AC is cooling air that slips right out. Air sealing, closing those gaps before insulating, is the step that gets skipped most often, and it's where we start.

Do we have to leave the house when you spray foam in Tifton?

For spray foam, yes, everybody including pets leaves while it goes on and stays out until the re-entry time, the wait the foam maker sets before you come back in. I tell you that wait before the job is booked so you can plan around it. For blown-in and sealing work, most folks stay home and just keep kids and pets out of the way.
