We had the guys at Compass Insulation tear off and replace the main section of our roof at work. This was a big project as that was where the majority of our equipment is. They did a great job at a very fair price. I will be using them in the near future to come back and install some ventilation fans in the roof as well. I highly recommend them.

Jimmy and his crew came to our home and performed some infrared scanning and air infiltration analysis. Once completed they determined some problem areas from construction of the home which they remedied with Foam and spray insulation. We have enjoyed a significant difference in the warmth of our home and energy savings. This was also done in a few days time which was the most convenient aspect of the job. These guys did a great job!!

I was skeptical of the claims made by the spray foam industry and was concerned about the added costs over old style fiberglass insulation when we built an addition on our home making it 4 times the original size. After all the spray foam, my heat and cooling bill did not go up at all, and we also had the added benefit of major sound reduction from the outdoors. The guys from Compass were extremely careful and professional. I later built a shop that I had them come back and insulate and it only costs me pennies to heat that space too. I highly recommend this company.

Compass Insulation is very professional and does a thorough and great job. They have a complete understanding of what needs to be completed and goes over and beyond the required work to ensure a proper installation. I highly recommend this company.

I am a General Contractor and have worked with Compass for about 7 years now. Jim Sr. and Jim Jr. are very knowledgeable with the work that they perform. I am extremely happy with their work as well as all my customers. They are very reasonably priced and professional. I even had them foam insulate my own new home in Chesterland and I am proud to say it is one of the most energy efficient houses in the area. Amazingly low utility bills on a 3200 sq/ft open style ranch. I highly recommend them.

So my house was seeing some serious temperature drops as soon as the new year hit. Turns out all my attic needed was a little TLC from the employees at Compass. After easily scheduling an appointment, my foam sprayer arrived on time and ready for any questions i had for him. As a first time home owner, I was a little nervous about choosing who to hire, but Steve in particular eased all my worries. He explained how spraying the open cell foam would quickly address any heat loss, and I was relaxing without socks on in no time! No mess left behind, and I sold my space heater the next day. Win win!
