Meet the Subs - R-Value Insulators

High-performance, energy-efficient homes don’t just happen by accident. They happen because you work with subcontractors who care as much as you do. That is exactly why we can’t say enough about R-Value Insulators.

Sam and his crew at RVI bring a level of commitment and skill that we admire. There are many companies that insulate, but RVI is the only company I’ve found that air seals to my specifications as well. They have a passion for building science that they incorporate into every job they do. Sam is known throughout the energy-efficient building community in the greater northern Wisconsin area as someone who knows how to get the job done right. Sam and I have spent many hours on the phone nerding out on building science, how to approach the variety of circumstances inherent in building custom homes, thermal boundaries, pressure boundaries, etc. We’ve had a ball!

Insulation is one of those things you can’t easily change after the project is over, so it is always money well spent to hire RVI. Using Blown-in Blanket insulation (BIBS), they create a flawless, continuous thermal layer that fills every gap, nook, and hard-to-reach space. 

What makes them exceptional isn’t just their technique, it’s their understanding. Sam knows insulation isn’t about checking a box. It’s the heart of the home. It’s about delivering real R-value, reducing energy waste, supporting strong blower door scores, and making sure our clients feel the difference every single day.

On the job site, they’re a well-oiled machine. Clean, fast, careful, and precise. Sam applies his skill, experience, and building science knowledge to every insulation project. RVI communicates clearly and executes with confidence. When they finish a home, we already know it’s better for it.

We trust them without hesitation. We recommend them without reservation. Because when insulation is done this well, it doesn’t just improve a home, it transforms it. 

If you are looking for a top-of-the-line insulator, look no further than R-Value Insulators. And if you are a fellow building science nerd, you will more than enjoy a chat with Sam.

Peace,

-Charlie
