Preet and his team were great. Preet was very responsive and he provided promptly a reasonable quote for insulation of our attic. The team arrived on time and worked efficiently and professionally. They also cleaned up afterwards and even closed the garage door before leaving! I would highly recommend Western Insulation for any Richmond BC homeowners!

I used Western Insulation to add some baffles and insulation into our home's attic. Preet was extremely communicative, provided a quote and then charged exactly what the quote was with no surprises. We had originally booked a date and time and the crew ran into an issue with a machine that broke down, Preet called right away, explained the situation and even offered to have the work done on the weekend due to the inconvenience, we rescheduled for the next week and the crew was there on time, crew was very good, took care of the house and the attic looks great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Western Insulation.

I’m a local Realtor and reached out to Preet at Western Insulation on very short notice after a home inspection raised some concerns about the attic for my buyer clients. We were working with a very tight subject removal deadline and needed someone who could get to the property quickly and give us a professional opinion. Preet was fantastic. He made the time to come out, walked us through what he was seeing, put our minds at ease about the bigger concerns, and had a clear written quote back to us incredibly quickly. He was knowledgeable, professional and genuinely helpful when we were under a time crunch. As a Realtor, having reliable tradespeople I can confidently send to my clients is incredibly important. I would absolutely recommend Preet and Western Insulation and will be keeping his contact information for future clients.

Do you have an infested attic? I had raccoons, birds, rats, squirrels and mice in my attic over the years, and was concerned about hazardous infestation. My Surrey neighbour had their insulation topped up, and recommended Western Insulation Ltd. The owner Preet Sangha and his hard-working staff were respectful and professional at all times. Preet took the time to review options, and patiently answered all my questions. Rather than a top-up, I opted to remove the infested insulation completely. First sheets were laid down to protect flooring, stairs, etc. The hazardous infested insulation was removed, new batting was installed around the skylights and spacers were installed to enable circulation. Then 16” of new insulation was blown-in. The crew even cleaned up and vacuumed before leaving The difference in attic temperature was immediate. It felt warmer. The new insulation would ensure that it’s warmer in the winter, cooler in summer, reduce heat loss by 25% and cut energy bills by 20–30%. I like that it’s durable, eco-friendly, and built to last 25+ years. And, I received a $900 home renovation rebate. Western Insulation Ltd. deserves their A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau. It’s a great company!

Frequently Asked Questions

Insulation removal is recommended when insulation is water damaged, contaminated with mold or animal waste, compressed or deteriorated, infested with pests, or when you’re upgrading to a higher-performance system. Our assessment identifies whether removal is necessary or if adding insulation to existing materials is possible.
We use a comprehensive containment approach including sealed work areas, negative air pressure systems, and HEPA filtration. Our industrial-grade vacuum systems capture even the smallest particles, and all material is bagged and sealed before removal from your home to prevent contamination of living spaces.
We dispose of removed insulation according to all local regulations. When possible, certain types of insulation may be recycled. Contaminated materials are handled according to appropriate hazardous waste protocols depending on the type of contamination present.
Most residential insulation removal projects can be completed within 1-2 days, depending on the size of the area and accessibility. More complex projects or those with significant contamination issues may take longer. Our team provides a detailed timeline during your assessment.
In most cases, you can remain in your home during the removal process, as our containment systems effectively isolate the work area. For certain situations involving significant contamination or when working with hazardous materials like vermiculite containing asbestos, temporary relocation might be recommended during the active removal phase.
