Services
Cellulose Insulation
Our cellulose insulation is made from 100% recycled paper treated with fire-retardant borate. It offers superior thermal performance, reducing energy bills by up to 40%. Ideal for attics, walls, and crawl spaces, it also improves indoor air quality and soundproofing while meeting Energy Star standards.
Foam Insulation
We install open-cell and closed-cell foam insulation for residential and commercial properties. Open-cell foam enhances soundproofing, while closed-cell foam provides a vapor barrier and structural strength. Both options improve energy efficiency by 30-50% and seal gaps effectively.
Duct Leakage Testing
Our duct leakage testing identifies air leaks in HVAC systems, ensuring optimal efficiency. Using blower door and combustion safety tests, we pinpoint issues that waste energy and compromise indoor air quality. This service helps clients qualify for energy rebates and lower utility costs.
Fire Retardant Painting
We apply DC-315 intumescent coating to exposed foam insulation, meeting fire code requirements. This service enhances safety by slowing flame spread and protecting structural integrity. Available in multiple colors, it ensures compliance without sacrificing aesthetics for residential and commercial buildings.
Energy Efficiency Programs
As a registered ally for Ameren Illinois, we provide income-qualifying insulation programs. These initiatives cover full-house insulation, furnace, and AC upgrades at no cost to eligible homeowners. Our partnership ensures accessible, cost-effective solutions for improving energy efficiency and comfort.

I worked with Olmstead Brothers to have my pole barn spray foamed. I was so happy throughout the entire process. I have worked with several insulators through years of home construction, but Kyle and his crews bring a level of professionalism that is not typical in the residential construction industry. Kyle was extremely knowledgeable and easily answered all of my questions. The crew arrived right on time and did a great job of protecting all the surfaces to keep foam off my floor, lights and doors. They cleaned up nicely and were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Olmstead Brothers

Arrived on site a little earlier than scheduled, work was done in less time than I thought it would take. The price of the work completed was dead on accurate to the estimate. They called they day before the scheduled visit to confirm time of arrival, every aspect of the experience was great, I would reccomend them to all whom need an insulation service.

We were very happy with the work that Olmsted Brothers Insulation, Inc. did for us. We worked with Sara, and she was great! I've already recommended them to family and friends.
