Weatherization Plus

It is hard to get excited about a “new attic” but I am thrilled. I had a real problem with poor insulation, insulation in contact with light fixtures in violation of code that could have caused a fire, leaking flex ducts, and multiple air penetration points. Brian Padgett and his crew at Weatherization Plus extracted all insulation, installed baffles, sealed all duct work, air sealed the floor of attic at all wall top plates, light fixtures, electrical and plumbing penetration points. Once that was done I took a week to build elevated walkways before having them come back to install 12 inches of blown in cellulose insulation to reach R-40. Thank you Brian Padgett, Austin Gill, Ryan Crump, and the rest of the Weatherization Plus team for the excellent job you did in my attic. I could immediately tell the difference. What was an uncomfortable and hard to cool second story, is now a much more comfortable living space. Thank you Weatherization Plus! Update: After all the beautiful work done by Brian Padgett and his crew a couple of weeks ago to seal and insulate my attic, I discovered a major problem with my HVAC and had the entire system replaced. This necessitated an insulation “touchup” following instillation of the new HVAC system. I contacted Brian to see when he could work me in. Robby Owens and Eric Young were there bright and early the next morning and had a new layer of freshly blown insulation blown in within an hour. Just in time for the carpet layers to start laying carpet. I am thoroughly impressed with Brian’s timely response to my request and the great work done by Robby and Eric. Five stars are not enough for Brian Padgett and the team at Weatherization Plus in Versailles. Thank you for outstanding service and quality work.

I had Weatherization+ come out to blow some insulation into my attics and install some insulating board along the knee walls, which share a wall with a guest bedroom and my recording space where I work. The problem I had was that the attic would heat up when the sun hit the roof, the air would get warm and then travel between the attics via an airway beneath the floor. This meant I was being roasted from all sides— the floor and walls would grow quite warm and radiate heat into the living space. Brian came out to appraise the situation, and we set up an appointment to fix the issues. The guys came out and worked hard all day. The very next day I could feel the difference. Not only that, I have a digital thermometer in the room which logs temperature data. I’ve included a graph where you can see that some days it was pushing 90 degrees up there before the new insulation, but after the install, the peaks and troughs are much smaller. This means that there is less variation in the temps— it’s not getting nearly as hot and it tends to keep cooler longer. Now we hit in the neighborhood of 82 or 84 up there—on sunny days, which sounds hot but just feels warmish. It’s a major positive difference. Insulation is the kind of expense that pays dividends both in lowering your AC bill and also improving how you enjoy your home. If you’re reading this and wondering if it’s worth the trouble— it doesn’t cost anything to get a quote, and everyone who worked on my project was knowledgeable and thoughtful— they took great care to protect my carpet and flooring from damage and bits of insulation. It’s worth a look— give em a call!

Insulation Shout Out. (November 2025) I appreciate the excellent work done by Weatherization Plus (Versailles, KY) in adding insulation to my attic. The two-man installation team (Ian & Kagan) arrived on time, set up quickly, and got to work. They were respectful of our home and took time to set up their hoses in a manner to cause the least amount of mess inside our house. After completing the work, the crew picked up and left everything as it was before they arrived. For my attic, I requested 12 inches of cellulose over top of my existing insulation to reach a rating of “R-60”. Owner Brian Padget calculated the amount of insulation required as part of his quote (taking measurements and inspecting the existing insulation and determining what prep was needed to tighten up the air slow in the attic prior to installation). The installation went quickly (just a few hours) and the finished result looks like a smooth blanket of gray snow filling the entire attic. I’ll update this post in the spring once I see how our investment affected our winter heating bill. Mr. Padget is very knowledgeable regarding all types of insulation and he can help with any attic prep work needed prior to adding the blown-in insulation. It was a pleasure discussing my project with him and hearing his suggestions. I priced out doing this job as a DIY project but in the end decided that Weatherization Plus’s quote was reasonable and using them saved me from dealing with the mess of installing cellulose insulation myself. I strongly recommend calling Brian if you are looking to make your home warmer this winter.
