"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!"

"I've used two other insulation companies before — neither came close to the quality and transparency of Universal Insulation Doctor. They diagnosed the real problem and fixed it right the first time. No upselling, no pressure — just straight answers."
DR
David R.

"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."

"I was skeptical about the Pest Guard insulation at first, but after seeing roach activity in my attic for years, I gave them a call. Six months later — zero signs of pests, and my cooling bills are down. This is the real deal. Will recommend to all my neighbors."
