Review 1
We used AFI for our 2700 barn restoration project. Darren and his team were great to work with. Excellent quality work, safe work habits, fair price, and great attention to detail. I’ve used AFI twice in the last three years, and will use them again when I have the need. I highly recommend Darren and his team at AFI.

Review 2
I’ve had AFI out twice to my home. They’ve blown insulation into 2 separate attics, used an open-cell foam on a master bedroom tray ceiling and closed-cell foam in a shared wall for sound purposes, by drilling down into the wall plate from the attic and filling the wall cavities. Both experiences were very positive–professional crew, courteous, clean operation, timely…the list could go on. They were incredibly responsive, and I found the value of pricing to be great. On top of that–it has shown a utility savings from historical comparisons and has led to a more comfortable and quiet home. We’re in a 15-year old house that had what was deemed “adequate” insulation–so adding more won’t hurt anyone, and you can’t go wrong working with AFI. Thanks to Kane and his team for another good job.
