"David S was great! He spent a lot of his time answering my questions and helping me sort fact from fiction as it applies to insulation material choice. And he brought to life for me the value of attic pest control — something I never thought about, nor did my previous pest control company. He clearly explained the process from start to finish, making it easy to do business with Universal. The crew did an excellent job with adding insulation without leaving most of it on my rug!"

"Called for an attic inspection after noticing our upstairs was always hot in summer. Their technician found the old insulation was way below code and partially wet. They removed it, treated the attic, and re-insulated everything. House feels completely different now."

"Excellent service from start to finish. The free inspection was thorough — they showed me photos from inside my attic and explained every issue clearly. Installation was fast and clean. My Dominion Energy bill is noticeably lower already."
