Attic Insulation
Kusiak Construction has gained notoriety for its attic insulation, but it’s Kusiak’s origins as a roofer and roof repair company that make Kusiak the best choice for attic insulation. The key to saving money is retrofitting modern practices with your home’s insulation and ventilation system. Tossing insulation batts in the attic will do very little and may even cause condensation problems, mold, or respiratory issues. Of course, when you think of insulation, you picture the large rolls of pink fiberglass. This insulation is seldom effective in existing homes, especially with NWI’s bitter cold winters and extremely hot summers. Most homes in the region are under-insulated.
The practice of just rolling out insulation batts leaves huge gaps for heat to escape and even cause water damage to your home’s drywall. A roofer is uniquely qualified to work with the existing attic’s electrical, ventilation, and roofing systems. Without experience in retrofitting the new insulation into your home’s existing systems, your home’s modification can cause health, safety, and roof warranty issues.

Blown in Insulation
While Kusiak Construction uses all forms of insulation, one particular form of insulation called blown-in insulation (blow insulation) fits Northwest Indiana like a glove! Blow insulation ranks at the top for value, cost-effectiveness, and performance. If not enough, blow insulation can be retrofitted to your home’s existing construction and ventilation systems. This makes blow insulation a great choice for the typical Northwest Indiana home that may have been under-insulated when it was built. and needs to be optimized for our bitterly cold winters and scorching hot summers.
What is Blown Insulation? How it works! According to the article, Guide to Attic Insulation | Heat Cost Solutions for NWI, fiberglass blowing insulation is designed for thermal protection and noise reduction. It is ideal for open area attics as it creates a custom, uniform blanket that fills all of the nooks and crannies where heat can escape. It’s the perfect choice for Northwest Indiana’s extreme weather conditions and is equally effective in both summer and winter. It is also ideal for homes that are over ten years old and can be applied to existing attic insulation. While blown insulation seems to fit most attics like a glove, it is best installed by a company with knowledge of ventilation systems and capable of making modifications to your attic and roof.

Best insulation for attic | Kusiak recommends only using fiberglass blown insulation. It not only improves insulation value, but it is also a healthy choice for people with allergies and respiratory issues. Many contractors use low-quality cellulose. Cellulose is made from cellulosic materials like newspapers, hemp, cardboard, straw, and sawdust. Cellulose flattens and loses insulation value when it is introduced to moisture. It also creates dust and bacteria that can cause respiratory issues and allergies. Kusiak is a CertainTeed ShingleMaster Contractor, ensuring certified confidence in its insulation services.

Simple Truths Every Homeowner Needs to Know about Insurance & Bonding
More and more people are learning to ask for a contractor’s proof of license, insurance, and bond. Thanks to the internet, people have learned to ask this significant question before hiring a contractor. It is often the first thing people ask. Unfortunately, asking a contractor isn’t enough! Most insurance requirements will leave you (the homeowner), responsible for everything from workman’s comp, personal injury, or responsibility for issues that exist long after the job is done. Let’s face it: things can happen, and you must protect your family and home. Would you drive a new car without insurance? Would you feel better if you had insurance, but coverage was limited to $1,000 on a new car that cost $30,000?
Unfortunately, the courts are filled with such cases. Contractors typically will only carry the minimum coverage required by city requirements. Hammond, for instance, only requires contractors to carry $100,000 per occurrence. This is not enough insurance to cover your home and other liabilities. Kusiak, on the other hand, carries $1,000,000 per occurrence. Why? Because it protects our customers and our reputation. Nothing is as important to us. Like yourself, we like to sleep well knowing everyone is protected. In addition, Kusiak is a licensed contractor. To learn why it’s important to work with a licensed contractor, see our License and Insured link.
Kusiak also protects you long after the project is finished. Typically, the homeowner assumes responsibility once the project is complete. For example, let’s assume you just had a new deck built, and the wood was faulty or compromised during construction. If you have a party and the deck collapses, you are liable for both the cost of repairing the deck and also liable for personal injury. This may not seem fair, but it is the law. It’s also why most contractors don’t carry insurance that protects you down the road. Kusiak, on the other hand, protects you and your home with $2,000,000 Products-Completed Operation Insurance (covers faulty work, bodily injury, property damage) and another $2 Million in workers comp insurance.
Enjoy Certified Confidence Long after the Job is Done!
You wouldn’t drive a car without insurance! So why would you risk your biggest investment—your roof—without checking to see if your contractor is licensed, insured, and bonded? Check out Kusiak’s license page. We don’t just make your family safe and comfortable; we protect you long after the job is done!
YOUR PROTECTION, OUR PRIORITY
WHAT IS R-VALUE?
R-value is the capacity of an insulating material’s resistance to heat flow. In short, this means the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power of the material. While the R-value is good, it’s not a significant factor in determining desired outcomes. It’s also why insulation batts can’t hold up to blow insulation when it comes to insulating the attic of an existing home.
Since heat flows in and out through radiation and convection, the R-Value isn’t as significant as the. quality of the installation. Heat loss through convection, or airflow, can account for nearly 40 percent of total energy loss in the home. This is an issue if you are only using R-Value to choose your insulation.
