You can tell how good a vendor is when you run into an issue. Originally I had a great and easy experience with CCIS. Well on Friday I noticed the fan in my bathroom didn't have good suction. I figured since it was in a very small part of the ducting got pinched when the insulation went in. I called Just at noon on Friday, the hottest day of the year. By 1:30 his guy came down from the 120 degree attic with the fan working great again. So overall, another great experience with CCIS.

I had a great experience with Cetnral Caliornai Insulation- they came out pretty quickly to my home and the guys were really friendly. They got everything done and now when i turn the heater on my house actually stays warm. Best investment I made and its going to save me a ton on the heating costs. I called Justin the owner to thank him and he was extremely friendly and I will refer them for sure.

This is our THIRD time using Central California Insulation for our owner-builder home remodel, and once again 5-stars! Early 2011 - wall & ceiling insulation for our detached garage
Summer 2011 - insulation for our house remodel subfloor
Summer 2012 - wall & ceiling insulation for our house remodel
The house has been a HUGE project, and knowing I was going to use Central California Insulation again was such a relief. I knew it was one of the only pieces that wouldn't be a headache, and would be done without issue! Their quote remained competitive and the work was excellent, as
