Weatherization Plus

Insulation Shout Out. (November 2025) I appreciate the excellent work done by Weatherization Plus (Versailles, KY) in adding insulation to my attic. The two-man installation team (Ian & Kagan) arrived on time, set up quickly, and got to work. They were respectful of our home and took time to set up their hoses in a manner to cause the least amount of mess inside our house. After completing the work, the crew picked up and left everything as it was before they arrived. For my attic, I requested 12 inches of cellulose over top of my existing insulation to reach a rating of “R-60”. Owner Brian Padget calculated the amount of insulation required as part of his quote (taking measurements and inspecting the existing insulation and determining what prep was needed to tighten up the air slow in the attic prior to installation). The installation went quickly (just a few hours) and the finished result looks like a smooth blanket of gray snow filling the entire attic. I’ll update this post in the spring once I see how our investment affected our winter heating bill. Mr. Padget is very knowledgeable regarding all types of insulation and he can help with any attic prep work needed prior to adding the blown-in insulation. It was a pleasure discussing my project with him and hearing his suggestions. I priced out doing this job as a DIY project but in the end decided that Weatherization Plus’s quote was reasonable and using them saved me from dealing with the mess of installing cellulose insulation myself. I strongly recommend calling Brian if you are looking to make your home warmer this winter.

It is hard to get excited about a “new attic” but I am thrilled. I had a real problem with poor insulation, insulation in contact with light fixtures in violation of code that could have caused a fire, leaking flex ducts, and multiple air penetration points. Brian Padgett and his crew at Weatherization Plus extracted all insulation, installed baffles, sealed all duct work, air sealed the floor of attic at all wall top plates, light fixtures, electrical and plumbing penetration points. Once that was done I took a week to build elevated walkways before having them come back to install 12 inches of blown in cellulose insulation to reach R-40. Thank you Brian Padgett, Austin Gill, Ryan Crump, and the rest of the Weatherization Plus team for the excellent job you did in my attic. I could immediately tell the difference. What was an uncomfortable and hard to cool second story, is now a much more comfortable living space. Thank you Weatherization Plus! Update: After all the beautiful work done by Brian Padgett and his crew a couple of weeks ago to seal and insulate my attic, I discovered a major problem with my HVAC and had the entire system replaced. This necessitated an insulation “touchup” following instillation of the new HVAC system. I contacted Brian to see when he could work me in. Robby Owens and Eric Young were there bright and early the next morning and had a new layer of freshly blown insulation blown in within an hour. Just in time for the carpet layers to start laying carpet. I am thoroughly impressed with Brian’s timely response to my request and the great work done by Robby and Eric. Five stars are not enough for Brian Padgett and the team at Weatherization Plus in Versailles. Thank you for outstanding service and quality work.
