From The Founder's Desk

This set of posts come straight from the owner of Superior Attic Desk, a company that started as a one-man operation and has grown into a trusted, medium-sized insulation business in Texas. Let’s be real—the insulation industry is physically demanding, highly competitive, and full of contractors willing to cut corners to offer lower prices. On top of that, suppliers push cheaper, lower-quality materials, making it even easier for companies to take shortcuts at the homeowner’s expense.Unlike other industries dominated by large corporations, insulation is often handled by small, owner-operated companies. In many cases, the same person inspecting your home is also handling sales, purchasing materials, answering phones, installing insulation, and even fixing mistakes—all while juggling the daily chaos of running a small business. Add in the brutal reality of working in 150-degree attics wearing hazmat suits and full-face respirators, and it’s easy to see why shortcuts happen.At Superior Attic, we respect the hustle of small business owners—we started the same way. But as a homeowner, it’s crucial to understand the most common ways contractors cut corners so you can protect your investment and ensure your insulation project is done right, even if you choose a smaller operation.
