Wonderful service! A very thorough inspection was done of attic with thermal imagery and pictures. Inspection, estimate and installation was done within one week. All questions were answered and thorough explanation given. Mike knows insulation!

B&B Homes did a great job weatherizing and adding insulation to my grandma’s house. It’s a huge relief knowing her home is protected for the colder and warmer weather!! Highly recommend!!

Very impressed with the professionality and workmanship of this company. They showed up on time (actually early), completed the job and did an outstanding job as well as cleaning up after themselves. Would not hesitate to use this company in the future!

Common Questions
B & B Homes Insulation primarily serves Lincoln, Nebraska, focusing on older homes needing insulation upgrades, blower door testing, and air sealing. As a local Lincoln-based contractor since 2000, they support the community by purchasing materials locally and have completed projects for programs like the LES Sustainable Energy Program and Re-Energize Lincoln within the area. Their expertise ensures efficient service without the need for extensive travel outside Lincoln.
B & B Homes Insulation has been providing insulation, air sealing, and ventilation services in Lincoln for over 20 years, since 2000, after transitioning from remodeling to focus on energy improvements. Their crew is trained by the Department of Energy, and they have insulated more than 1,000 homes, mostly older existing structures, earning BBB accreditation with no complaints. This long-term experience allows them to achieve up to 50% energy savings through methods like dense pack cellulose and blower door testing.
For attics in older Lincoln homes, B & B Homes Insulation installs blown cellulose insulation, recommending at least 13 inches for R-49 value to meet current code standards, as pre-2000 homes often have insufficient or no insulation. They prioritize cellulose over blown fiberglass due to its superior performance, fire resistance, and resistance to compression, ensuring even distribution without low spots near eaves. This approach reduces moisture, extends roof life, and improves overall home comfort and quietness.
B & B Homes Insulation uses dense packed cellulose or tube fill methods to add wall insulation in pre-1972 Lincoln homes, which typically lack any wall insulation per historical building codes. This process blocks air flow and insulates without regard to interior or exterior finishes, often combined with air sealing to prevent drafts. Their experience with over 1,000 older homes ensures minimal disruption and significant energy savings, paying back the investment in under 5 years.
B & B Homes Insulation starts with expert blower door testing to identify air leaks in older Lincoln homes, using this diagnostic to guide targeted air sealing with materials like caulk, foam, and dense pack cellulose. They consider your goals and concerns throughout to customize the process, often sealing attics, walls, pipes, and ducts for up to 50% efficiency gains. As a licensed, insured Nebraska contractor, they ensure a complaint-free, high-quality finish backed by Department of Energy training.
Yes, B & B Homes Insulation specializes in adding soffit or eave vents and proper attic ventilation to pre-1970 Lincoln homes that often lack intake for cool air, preventing moisture buildup and mold. They also reroute bathroom fans that vent into attics in pre-1990 homes to exterior venting, combining this with cellulose insulation for better airflow and temperature control. This comprehensive fix reduces ceiling stains, extends shingle life, and lowers energy bills through improved thermal performance.
