Essex Insulation was founded in 2015 by a team that grew up in Vermont and understood firsthand how much a cold, drafty house affects daily life. What started as a small operation focused on Essex Junction and the surrounding neighborhoods has grown into a trusted insulation contractor serving communities across Chittenden County and beyond.
The Essex area has a lot of homes built between the 1960s and the 1990s - houses that were constructed when insulation standards were much lower than they are today. Many of those homes have barely changed since they were built. Homeowners feel it every winter in their heating bills, in cold upstairs bedrooms, and in the ice dams that form along the roofline after a heavy snow. We started this company to fix that.
Vermont is different from most states when it comes to insulation. The winters here are real, and the cost of heating a poorly insulated home is real too. We work with homeowners throughout the greater Burlington area - from families near Five Corners in Essex Junction to households in South Burlington, Colchester, and Williston - to make their homes tighter, warmer, and less expensive to heat.
Every job we take on is approached the same way: honest assessment, clear communication, quality materials, and workmanship we are willing to put our name on. We are your neighbors, and we treat every home we work on like it belongs to one.
We tell you what your home actually needs, not what generates the biggest invoice. If a simpler fix will do the job, we say so.
Your time matters. We schedule accurately, communicate if anything changes, and finish jobs on the timeline we quoted.
We live and work in this climate. Every recommendation we make is grounded in what actually performs here, not what looks good on a spec sheet.
If something is not right after we leave, we come back and make it right. That is not a policy - it is just how we operate.
State-licensed and fully insured insulation contractor operating under Vermont Department of Labor requirements. Licensed work protects you if you ever sell your home.
General liability and workers compensation insurance on every job. If something unexpected happens on your property, you are covered - not left holding the bill.
Over a decade of insulation projects across Chittenden County. We know Vermont building stock, local permit requirements, and Efficiency Vermont rebate programs inside and out.
We pull all required building permits before work begins and coordinate inspections on your behalf. Permitted work gives you a paper trail - something that matters when you refinance or sell your home.
We serve homeowners and businesses throughout the greater Burlington area, including Essex, Colchester, Williston, South Burlington, and communities as far as St. Albans and Barre.
