Very friendly and easy to work with. I only spoke with them by phone but was able to get a quick quote and have the job done within a few days all while I was on vacation. My customer was pleased as was I. I am a contractor and will be using them again!

This company blew 10"-12" of cellulose insulation on top of the original insulation in our 11 year old home. The original insulation had settled exposing the very top of the trusts in certain areas. The over-all process from receiving an estimate for the work and installation was flawless and a much better experience than what I expected. The company was professional, very informational, easy to work with, and always on time for any appointments. There work was also very clean! I would recommend for anyone to consider Payless Insulation, I truly believe you won't be disappointed!

Payless installed spray cellulose insulation in our attic a couple weeks ago. Since then, the AC has run an average of five hours less per day, which exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

This is a great company and the owner should be very proud of the staff she or he has. First, Susana was incredibly helpful. I talked to her a couple of times before we decided to place the order because I was not very familiar with insulation. She took the time to explain to me the service, the differences in insulation and the required amount. She provides amazing customer service! Now, the best part is that the two guys, Fernando and Jonathan, are the most attentive and hard working men I have ever met.
They were both so nice and respectful. The minute they entered my house, they explained everything step by step. Jonathan was very careful with my carpet and made sure everything was covered. Fernando is amazing! He took the time explaining the services they offer and everything insulation related. It didn't matter what I asked, he knew the answers! Payless Insulation, you have two great employees here! I don't know how much you are paying them, but they definitely deserve big rewards based on the service quality they provide! I definitely recommend this company!

Fernando and Jonathan arrived at our home at exactly the time scheduled and were extremely careful with our home and the floors. They took time to explain the process and and did the job in a very professional manner. Wow, my wife and I were very pleased especially with the application of the fire retardant insulation that was installed.

I had Payless come out add >12 of insulation in our attic to reduce humidity in the home. Initially i asked if they did insulation under the floor and they said they didn't but that attic insulation would solve the humidity. They did a great job, we're very attentive. Their customer service is utterly unparalleled. They cleaned everything up and when they left if was as if they'd never stepped good in the house. Arguably left it cleaner than it was when they arrived. That being said, it didn't reduce the humidity at all, unfortunately. I don't blame them, I just think it's an an old house (1929). Anyway, they were great.

Got insulation added last month. It made a tremendous difference in inside temps! No longer sweating during the day and HVAC no longer struggling. The installation crew was was professional and got the job done in a couple of hrs or less, and took care not to damage drywall etc.
