Why The Foundation Guys is a pick for insulation and air sealing

How they compare with the other picks
Short answer: The step most quotes skip is air sealing before topping up, and it is the one that changes the heating bill — ask each of these three whether their price includes it. Ecotech is the only one based in K4M, founded 2009 and a CUFCA member. Aucoin's has been locally owned since 1993 and is certified for asbestos and vermiculite abatement, which is the thing to check first in a pre-1990 attic. The Foundation Guys pair attic work with crawl space, waterproofing and radon mitigation.
- Ecotech Insulation Services — Founded 2009 and the only one here based in K4M. CUFCA member. Closed and open cell spray foam, batt, blown attic, and hybrid systems that air-seal before topping up.
- Aucoin's Insulation — Locally owned since 1993. Blown cellulose and spray foam, plus certified asbestos and vermiculite abatement — the one to check on a pre-1990 attic.
A comparison of the three businesses this site would call first, on facts each publishes about itself — not a ranking of every insulation contractor serving K4M, and not a rating. "What sets them apart" is our opinion, formed from the criteria we publish. No business has paid for a place in this table, and payment would not change it. Confirm licence and insurance directly before you hire.
