An Evansville insulation outfit that seals first
A&B Evansville Insulation Services is an insulation contractor based in Evansville, IN, fully licensed and insured and working since 2023. I learned the trade on another outfit's crew, spent some years away, and came back with fresh eyes for how often the leaks get skipped and the insulation just gets piled on top. We work across five cities with their own pages here, plus others nearby. You can read more about us and how we work.
Insulation contractor services in Evansville, IN
A&B Evansville Insulation Services is an insulation contractor in Evansville with 16 services, and every one starts by sealing the leaks so the insulation can do its job. The price turns on how much is already up there, whether old material has to come out and whether you go with foam or loose fill. The schedule turns on that same cleanup plus any repair you need first, and my free on-site estimate writes it all down in order.
Spray foam insulation
We spray foam into walls, basements and rooflines, where it expands into the gaps and seals air while it insulates, all in one pass.
Attic insulation
If upstairs runs hot, we seal the attic floor first, then bring the insulation to an even depth all the way out to the edges.
Blown-in insulation
We blow loose fill through a hose into attics and closed walls, the usual way to top up thin insulation without tearing anything out.
Home insulation
For owners who want the whole house looked at, we check attic, walls, floors and crawl space and work through them in the right order.
Insulation removal
When old insulation is soaked or full of droppings, we vacuum it out so new insulation doesn't sit on the same mess.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors over a crawl space usually mean thin or missing insulation, so we insulate the floor above or the crawl walls, whichever fits.
Wall insulation
Older houses often have empty or slumped wall cavities, and we fill them by blowing insulation through small holes we patch afterward.
Air sealing services
Drafty rooms usually trace back to gaps at outlets, pipes, chimneys and the basement's top edge, so we find those and seal them first.
Basement insulation
We insulate basement walls and the wood framing that sits on top of the foundation, so it's a room you'd actually sit in.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is a dense foam that blocks moisture as well as air, which makes it the usual choice for crawl spaces and basement walls.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is a softer, lighter foam that fills odd-shaped rooflines and walls, seals air well and costs less than closed-cell for the same area.
Commercial insulation
For business owners with a building to tighten up, we seal and insulate offices, shops and warehouses the same way we do houses.
Crawl space vapor barrier
We lay a heavy plastic sheet over the dirt floor of a crawl space to keep ground moisture from rising into your floors.
Vapor barrier installation
We put vapor barriers in walls, basements and attics where the house needs one, so damp air doesn't condense inside the insulation and soak it.
Attic air sealing
Before any insulation goes up, we seal the attic floor around can lights, pipes, wiring and the hatch, because that's where warm air escapes.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation is adding insulation to a house that's already finished, through the attic, small wall holes or the crawl space, without gutting rooms.
Why people call A&B for insulation
Leaks sealed before insulation goes in
We close the gaps around lights, pipes and the attic hatch first, because insulation over a draft just hides it.
I look at your house myself
I come out, check the attic, walls or crawl space, and write down what I'd do, in what order, and why.
Repairs first, even if it shrinks our job
If the roof leaks or the wiring needs work, we tell you and wait, because insulation won't fix either one.
A plain answer on what's up there
We tell you how many inches you have and whether it's wet or full of droppings, even when the honest answer is to leave it.
One person answering for the work
We're a small, newer outfit, so the person who looked at your house is the same one answering for the job.
Our own crew does the work
We don't send subcontractors into your attic. Our crew does the work, and I'm up there with them on most jobs.
If your attic is due for an honest look, call (812) 205-2872 or use our contact page.
Tell us what's going on with your attic, walls or crawl space
We'll reply within one business day, and there's no obligation. After that I come out for a free look and write down what I found and what I'd do, in order.

Your insulation questions answered
Why do insulation quotes in Evansville vary so much?
Mostly because some quotes include sealing the leaks and clearing out bad material, and some just price fresh insulation piled on top. The cheap one usually skips the part that makes the insulation work, so compare what each quote covers before you compare the totals.
Is spray foam insulation worth the extra cost?
Usually not for a typical attic, because sealing the gaps and topping up blown-in insulation gets most houses where they need to be for less. Foam costs more because it seals air while it insulates, so it earns its price when the ductwork runs through the attic, or in crawl spaces and basements where closed-cell foam also keeps moisture out.
How long does attic insulation take, and do we have to leave the house?
Most attic jobs don't need you out of the house, and how long we're up there depends mainly on the attic's size and whether old insulation has to come out first. Spray foam is the exception, because the foam maker sets a re-entry time, the wait before people and pets come back inside, and we'll tell you that wait before we start.
Do insulation contractors need a license in Evansville?
Yes, Evansville requires local contractors to pass a written exam and have their experience verified before they're licensed. They also have to show proof of proper insurance and workers' comp. We're fully licensed and insured, and you're welcome to ask for proof before we start.
Do you have to remove old insulation before adding new?
Only when it's wet or full of droppings, because new insulation over that just keeps the problem up there. Dry insulation in fair shape usually stays, so we move it aside to seal the gaps, then add on top. I'll tell you which kind you've got when I look.
Is your insulation work guaranteed?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. The rest of the protection is doing it in the right order, with leaks sealed and repairs made first, so the insulation isn't hiding a problem.
How can I tell if my attic insulation was done right?
Good attic insulation sits at an even depth all the way out to the edges, with the vents along the eaves still open. Deep in the middle and thin at the edges is backward, and buried eave vents keep the attic from breathing, which can leave moisture in the framing. If you're not sure what you've got, that's what the free look is for.
Do I need a permit for insulation work in Evansville?
It depends on the job, so we ask the building office that covers your address before work starts and handle the permit when one's needed. In Evansville and Vanderburgh County that's the Building Commission, which issues permits for alterations to a house, inside or out. The city triples the permit fee when work starts before the permit is in hand, which is why we ask first.

How a job goes, from call to cleanup
Call or send the form
Call (812) 205-2872 or send the form and tell us what's going on, whether it's a hot upstairs, cold floors or a power bill that won't quit. We get back to you within one business day to find a time when I can come out and see it.
I come out and write it up
I come out for a free look at the attic, walls or crawl space, wherever the trouble is. Then I write down what I found, what has to be fixed first and what I'd do about it. You're under no obligation to book, so take your time with it.
Permit check, then the work
Once you say go, we check with the building office that covers your address and handle the permit if the job needs one. Then our crew gets to work, sealing the gaps around lights, pipes and the hatch before any new insulation goes in, with me on most jobs.
Cleanup and walkthrough
We clean up after ourselves and walk you through what we did, the sealed gaps, the even depth out to the edges and the vents we kept clear. If it was a foam job, you come back inside once the maker's re-entry time is up.
