Highly recommend.
Every element of my attic job was excellent.
Scheduling and customer service were easy.

Sales manager Josh provided a thoughtful proposal managing efficiency and cost, recommending the best option (not just the most expensive one). Provided visibility to tax credits and rebate eligibility that I wasn’t aware of. Answered all my questions with the detail I needed, and worked with me within my budget.

I was provided very clear guidance on installation dates and what would happen.
Day of, crew arrived promptly, were very professional and encapsulated areas in plastic to keep dust and debris contained.

Crew was clean and efficient, and didn’t leave a speck of dust. Huge improvement in comfort level of my home.

Great experience overall!

5th Fuel did a great job on my house; took out the old insulation, sealed the attic and put in new insulation. I have noticed the change already and look forward to enjoying the new comfort. The team kept the house clean and were professional throughout the work.

I had an insulation installation yesterday and the crew did a great job. They were on time, very professional, and the work in the garage was very tidy. We couldn't recommend them enough.

The team at Fifth Fuel was prompt, courteous, and respectful. They did an amazing job, and the house already feels more comfortable. Thanks to Will Trenum and his team!

Fifth Fuel was recommended to me by a trusted friend who has a career in the construction industry. The team at Fifth Fuel provided excellent service from start to finish. Josh was very informative during his assessment. He wasn't pushy, even when I told him that we were comparing estimates. Enrique and the team who work on attic insulation showed me their progress each step of the way. They kept our home clean throughout the whole process. I highly recommend.

What a great experience insulating our existing attic!! Josh came out and gave us a quote within days and the crew was there 2 days later to complete the work. The entire process was flawless—the crew was incredibly conscientious of our home and protected our new floors and everything else in the area where they worked. And the insulation is doing exactly what it should, our upstairs is now much cooler and the AC isn’t working around the clock. I strongly recommend the Fifth Fuel, you will not be disappointed!

Arrive on time. Gave their honest option of insulation. They came out with no complains and gave free estimate for service. Highly recommend, this is trustworthy company.

Will and the team at the Fifth Fuel did an excellent job on a full insulation service. I would highly recommend this company.

Great job! Will Trenum was a pleasure to work with. He came out promptly, was extremely responsive and patient in answering all our questions, and he even recommended a cheaper alternative to what we were planning that was just as effective, but saved us money.

The team that did the work arrived right on schedule, and actually finished ahead of schedule. They explained everything they were doing, were extremely careful to make sure the house stayed clean, and were so quiet when they were working I didn't even notice they were working! After they left, the place looked even cleaner than when they arrived!

They provided us photos of the work, and it has definitely made a difference in the comfort of the house. We highly recommend The Fifth Fuel!

Had a great experience with Fifth Fuel Insulation! Josh coordinated everything smoothly, and the upper level is so much cooler now. He also helped apply for rebates I wasn’t aware of — highly recommend!

When we had our HVAC system replaced, one of the things the technician looked at was the attic insulation. We're so glad he did because we found that we needed to fix several issues that had little to no insulation which caused the house to be uncomfortable.

Will from The Fifth Fuel came to inspect our attic and explained his findings. I asked a lot of questions and the man knows what he is talking about. I had other contractors provide a quote as well but it was an easy decision to go with The Fifth Fuel.

The installation crew took great care in prepping our home, covering the floors with plastic sheeting for minimal mess and easy clean up. The team did a great job and our home is far more comfortable now. Well Done!

We got three quotes, and even though our advisor Will was the last appointment to come out, the decision ended up being super easy. He was efficient but still took the time to do a full inspection, explain everything clearly, and got us a quote within a day. The price was middle-of-the-road—not the cheapest—but he walked us through the Dominion rebate process and explained that they’d handle all the paperwork for us. What stood out was that he focused on what actually mattered: our needs and comfort, without trying to upsell or cut corners.

Adam Lukszo

Josh and their team did a great job! Very happy with the results. Josh was very engaging and helpful, wiling to explain the process and answer all my questions fully. His workers were effective, on time, made an effort to keep the the mess to a minimum, and cleaned up every day at the end of the work. Cannot recommend enough!

We hired Will and his team to do an audit of our insulation for two of our attics. We had reached out to 3 companies and it was night and day when we met with Will. He was so thorough, communicative, knowledgeable, and genuine that it was a no brainer to hire him and his team for this project.

When it came to scheduling and pricing, Will provided us with a proposal that included a breakdown of the work, was flexible with scheduling, and helped us with paperwork for substantial rebates after the work was done.

The two crews that did the work were able to complete the work within a day for us. They built us a new catwalk to make it easy to navigate the attic and they made sure to show us the insulation in the attics when everything was completed.

Overall, I am very impressed with Will and his team. They are an excellent representation of the company. Highly recommend!

We hired Southland/Fifth Fuel to install insulation for our attic recently and I’m happy to say they did a wonderful job! Will Trenum responded to our inquiry quickly and was able to come to our house within a couple of days. He answered all our questions thoroughly, gave us options and even encouraged us to shop around. He was very responsive over our email exchanges and I never felt pressured. In the end their quote was fair and reasonable and the crew did the whole job in less than 8 hours, to include taking out our old batte insulation, air seal our attic and install new blown in fiberglass. I’m glad we decided to hire them. We couldn’t be happier with the work they did and will absolutely hire them again!

Excellent experience with Will Trenum (coordinator), Luis and the crew. A large amount of work was efficiently done in two days (insulating attic, knee wall attics, basement, garage,...). The price was really competitive and Will was responsive to my needs and budget. I recommend fifth fuel for insulation.

I had attic and basement insulation done by Fifth Fuel. Their pricing was reasonable, and the service was excellent. I'm very happy with the results!

Will and the team at Fifth Fuel were absolutely fantastic! We had been dealing with climate issues in our home for years. Various contractors kept leading us astray, but when we brought in Will and Fifth Fuel, they found that the issue was with our insulation and quickly resolved it. They were extremely accommodating and went above and beyond for us. They were patient and found benefits to help with the cost of the work, something they did not have to do but showed us that they truly cared about helping us. Additionally, the construction of our home had some challenges with adding the insulation, but the team at Fifth Fuel not only met the challenge but exceeded it. Thank you to everyone at Fifth Fuel!

Exceptional experience. After getting quotes from a number of vendors, selected Fifth Fuel for their value and track record. Team was incredibly professional and efficient. Very happy with the final product.

Most professional of the companies we interviewed. Didn't waste time, got in and got out. Knew about and processed the Dominion rebates for us. Ask for Will!

These guys are awesome! I’ve used them a lot, and I recommend them to all of my friends and family.

They installed insulation and radiant barrier in my old house about 4 years ago and they just did my new house in Bristow a few hours ago in insulation and radiant barrier, in Feb 2025.

Their workers sent me pictures of the sealing and the insulation install so I could see it all done perfectly (I requested this in writing to them of course), Josh is really smart and he knows his stuff.

Their pricing is great, knowledge is great, work is great, they showed up on time and rocked and got it done.

My new home’s already much more habitable, the temperature differential is evened out and my HVAC unit seems to be much less strained than it was before the insulation. They sealed around all my air gaps and my new recessed lights so the air quality will be great.

Mike Pacheco
Feb 26, 2025

Great work. They did everything we agreed on and exceeded expectations. I have a basement in the process of being insulated and hey also added sound proofing to the ceiling hitting every nook and cranny. They arrived on time and cleaned up like they were never even there.

Fifth Fuel sealed and insulated our attic and crawl space, and they did an outstanding job! I found out about Fifth Fuel from a neighbor who recommended them. Everything was superb from start to finish. JoshF provided a thorough and quite reasonable estimate that beat other estimates I got. Less than 24 hours after I accepted Fifth Fuel’s estimate on a Friday, JoshF arranged for two crews to come out and do the attic and crawl space on Monday! The crews came out on Monday as promised and did an excellent job! They were very courteous and professional and took excellent care of my house and furnishings. And I forgot to add the my wife, who’s pretty picky, was quite impressed by the Fifth Fuel’s crews. Do yourself a favor and get an estimate from Fifth Fuel’s if you need insulation and air sealing.

If you are anything like me you are currently scouring the web looking at reviews for possible insulation companies. I looked far and wide, called, and made appointments. Josh was the only one who seemed to look at my project with care. He spotted things in my project I had not even thought of and gave me a quote within an hour. It was fair so I booked them and they were here by that Friday. These guys did an amazing job. They went over and beyond with the detail and care. I will only ever be using this company for my insulation projects.

They did my garage which was a little over 400 square feet of two inch closed cell foam.

Had the fifth fuel come out and insulate my house. Logan was very informative and answered any question or concern I had. Crew was very respectful and did an awesome job. The difference it made in the house was incredible. Can’t recommend the fifth fuel enough.

Hannah Mullins

The fifth fuel came out to my mother’s house to give them an estimate. A previous pest control company said all of my mother’s insulation needed to be removed and replaced due to a bad mice infestation. Logan took pictures of multiple areas in the attic and sat down to show my mother. The attic was not in bad shape at all and looked clean overall. We did not need their services, but I do appreciate their honest evaluation.

Steven Harrell
Feb 2, 2025

Josh was courteous, knowledgeable, and not pushy or salesy. The workers were polite and courteous. And we've noticed it's cooler in our master bedroom in the summer and the AC or heat run less with the additional insulation. Would recommend Fifth Fuel.

Five platinum stars for the proposal, installation and follow-up of attic insulation by Fifth Fuel! The professionalism, integrity and knowledge of Will Trenum, sales rep, and the quality and workmanship of their installers are exemplary. AND, I qualified for a rebate from my energy company for a portion of the installation.

I chose them after reaching out to 3 of the top insulation providers endorsed by “Best in Fairfax.” Will’s inspection and quote was laser focused and spot on. He was prepared & clearly very experienced. He arrived on time, brought his own ladder to climb into my attic, spent quite some time thoroughly checking out my attic, assessed needs and identified potential issues. Will provided a prompt proposal clearly outlining the work with the ‘optional’ items itemized separately.

The installation team of 3 arrived on time, and ensured they were meeting my expectations. They outlined their plan for the insulation installation. Every surface was covered, safety ensured, and they made sure my little old lovebird, Cheerio, was not in danger in any way. They worked efficiently, as a strong team, and vacuumed up the entire corridor of their path upstairs and down after completing their work.

I’m happy to report that my upstairs bedroom is several degrees warmer (per my room heater with ambient temp readout) with the furnace set at the same temp downstairs. Much more comfy!!

I was truly blessed the Fifth Fuel’s entire team’s honesty, integrity and professionalism more than met my expectations. Wish I’d had the available cash to do this sooner.

I had a great experience with The Fifth Fuel and their sales manager, Josh. They were easy to reach, responded quickly, and provided an estimate the same day they checked my home. Just two days later, the work was completed! Josh was amazing in helping me navigate Dominion rebates and Federal Tax credits, making the process smooth. The crew was clean, efficient, and skilled, leaving everything in great shape. Highly recommend!

We had our rec room insulated by The Fifth Furl. They had done other work for us 20 years ago. Logan snd the crew did an outstanding job, on time, exactly what eas estimated and we couldn't be more happy. Top notch professional from plan to start to finish. We have seen significant savings in our heating bill is amazing! Thanks! recommend these guys 100%.

I honestly can't say enough good things about The Fifth Fuel. I was in a bind with a crawlspace in a home I was buying and Logan and the encapsulation team rescued me. The communication was excellent before, during, and and after the job, and I'm very happy with the work. Thanks!

Erika Moore

I had a great experience having Fifth Fuel insulate an addition and the attic in my home. Josh was very professional, responsive, and helpful. I thought they had reasonable prices for the quality of work provided. I had spray foam, batting, and blown foam installed.

The only challenge was the day they booked the work, the installation team said that the truck for the spray foam was having an issue. They had to come back another day to do that work, but they were communicative and helpful to address the issue and reschedule.

Overall I would recommend Fifth Fuel and am happy that my home is better insulated. I've already felt the comfort benefits over this cold winter and look forward to the same in the summer.

As a first time homebuyer finding a company that provides guidance and support was a treasure. I spoke with Josh F. prior to purchasing my home. Once I closed he came out and did a survey of my home and constructed a plan to bring my home up to standard code. The team arrived on time and complete the job fast and efficiently. My roof is instillation and my home is warm and cozy. Thanks for the great service!~

Will and his company gave us a great price, worked quickly and efficiently to install additional insulation where needed. All work areas were completely cleaned up, we couldn't even tell they had been here. The added insulation made a significant difference in our comfort!

Annie Koslow
Dec 18, 2024

We had a wonderful experience with Will and the team at Fifth Fuel. They provided an honest estimate and were not pushy when I told them we were getting 3 estimates. The extent of the insulation work was more involved than we were expecting resulting in us holding off on the project for a few months. During that time, Fifth Fuel was patient and not pushing sales unlike the other two companies. The insulation team was also amazing. They were polite and left truly no trace of all the insulation they removed and replaced. Would highly recommend them!

Melanie Niemeyer
Dec 16, 2024

I recently (Nov 2024) hired the Fifth Fuel to insulate my attic. My husband and I are really pleased with the results. The process was smooth, professional, and efficient.

First, their team was quick to respond to my initial inquiry. They provided a detailed estimate which included everything. There were no surprise charges or changes. They were thorough and knowledgeable in answering all of our questions. I got quotes from several companies and I found theirs to be the best value especially considering their good reputation.

On the day of installation, the crew arrived on time and got straight to work. They were courteous, respectful of our property, and took the necessary precautions to ensure everything stayed clean. Every area was thoroughly insulated, and they made sure to seal any gaps or spaces.

Since the insulation has been installed, I’ve noticed a significant difference in the temperature of my home. I’m looking forward to lower energy bills in the future.

Overall, I highly recommend the Fifth Fuel for anyone looking for insulation services.

It was such a pleasure working with Fifth Fuel to replace our attic insulation. They were recommended to us by a neighbor and they responded to my request for estimate immediately and were able to come next day, did a thorough but quick assessment and explained everything they would do in detail (which really helped me to compare to the one other quote I was able to get), and I had an estimate that same day. This was a relief after getting no response to requests for estimates from a few other companies! They were able to start within a week (with all their own employees and materials), worked quickly and were very tidy and polite. They also made sure to fix the couple of ceiling lights that got disconnected during the work before they left. Would absolutely recommend them and would work with them again!

I had a very good experience with 5th Fuel. It started good with my evaluation visit for attic and garage insulation. My salesperson spoke well at a technical level on what needed to happen and avoided the salesy approach that turns me off. I had another visit from another company that did all the typical annoying sales pitches. 5th fuel was maybe half the price. So be careful on insulation as I feel there is a try to get as much as you can approach from other companies. The actual workers were great too. Job was done in 1 day and all looks good. Cleaned up nice. Place feels a little warmer, time will tell how useful the new insulation is. They blew in fiberglass in attic and cellulose in garage ceiling.

Navin Dhas
Dec 10, 2024

Really happy with the work that was provided by 5th Fuel. We had multiple companies come out for estimates, which varied from hour long sales pitches and quick in and out estimates that barely looked into the attic.

Will (sales) was great to work with, he went over options with me about insulation/air sealing. He took his time to inspect both attics in our house and also showed pictures of the areas his team would focus on. He was also great with working with us on scheduling as some delays on our end came up.

The team that came out to do the insulation + air sealing was great too. They spotted a disconnected PVC pipe in our attic and halted their work to give us time to get it fixed. They were back quickly after to finish the work.

Joseph Marshall
Nov 28, 2024

Company came out and gave free estimate for service requested. They started work the next day and finished most on the second day with only an expert touch-up of a ceiling required the next day. Price was competitive. Did very good job of putting dams up along all our existing catwalks. Sealing job covered everything needing it. Insulation above minimum for R-49 promised. Blower door test showed 40% improvement in stopping leaks from house. Overall, very positive experience and looking forward to energy savings and warmer winters.

Joe M
Nov 27, 2024

The team did a fantastic job, from Will coming out and giving me an honest quote of the items needing to be addressed to the Project Manager and his two workers removing/installing insulation in multiple areas. Some of the areas were tight quarters but they handled it all with great care. And they cleaned up all areas before, during, and after too, much to my satisfaction. They went above and beyond to ensure all areas were well sealed up and done to my liking!

I'll definitely be using these guys again and would absolutely recommend this team to others. Thanks guys! Great work, well done!!

Great experience with The Fifth Fuel. I reached out to them because I had wanted to get insulation blown into my attic. I had one estimate from another company that seemed much too high and I wasn't looking to completely redo my attic. I just needed some insulation and some other minor things addressed. Will arrived on time, spent a reasonable amount of time looking at my attic, and came up with a plan I felt good about. His estimate was reasonable so I decided to go with it. Scheduling was easy and the team that showed up to do the work was great. They were on time, very professional, and kept me updated throughout the process. Will was very responsive if I had any questions at any time. I would definitely recommend The Fifth Fuel.

Joshua M
Nov 23, 2024

Had a great experience with Fifth Fuel. Josh helped explain the pros/cons to different options and types of insulation and helped me pick the best option for my crawlspace and attic. The crew is very professional and they made an effort to keep things clean and contained. They were very efficient and thorough. I am very pleased with the end result. In addition, they really understand and know how to guide you through the energy efficiency rebates and tax incentives available. I highly recommend this company. They did exactly what they said they would do. Their estimates are very detailed and there were no surprises. Great company to work with.

I'd like to take this opportunity to commend the entire team at Fifth Fuel for the fantastic experience that they provided in our recently completed attic insulation project. From the very early stage of this project when we connected with Logan Jones who provided us with initial budget estimates and then followed up with detailed proposals for two alternative solutions, Logan provided his expert understanding and recommendations to help us decide which solution would work best for us. The work was quickly scheduled at a time that fit our schedule and the work crew was great; professional, efficient and friendly. Each day the crew supervisor checked in, in person, to explain the work that had been done that day and the work to be accomplished on the following day. End to end this was an exceptional experience. Thanks to all involved.

Jose Gonzalez

I recently had insulation installed in my attic by The Fifth Fuel, and the experience was fantastic. The sales manager, Josh Figueroa, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my questions with patience and expertise. His team, led by Keith, arrived on time and did an excellent job. They were professional, courteous, and even left the area cleaner than they found it!

The price was lower than I budgeted for and beat two other quotes I received from competitors. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the work and would absolutely recommend The Fifth Fuel for any future projects.

My husband and I recently hired the fifth fuel for insulation work, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. From start to finish, their responsiveness was top-notch. They completed the job quickly and efficiently, without compromising on quality. What truly stood out was how clean they left everything once the work was done—no mess, no hassle. The team also kept me informed throughout the process, even sending me pictures of their progress, which really put me at ease. I’m beyond satisfied with the results and would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality insulation services!

These guys are awesome, my wife and I went out of town they came in handled the job in two days, when we came home our house was insulated, I highly recommend Will and his team they go above and beyond making sure your needs are met. Thank you

I had fifth fuel insulate my attic with spray foam and the install was excellent! Even in 90+ days in dc the temps in the attic and on the 2nd floor are very close to the 1st floor. The installers took the care required to ensure nothing was damaged in the house, made sure it was left in immaculate condition. Even if spray foam isn’t required I strongly recommend you get your insulation from fifth fuel, you will not be disappointed!

The Fifth Fuel was great! We just moved into a house that was built in the late 60s, and it still had original insulation. We knew we needed to replace it when we moved in, and we are so glad we found this company! Logan was great to work with, and he answered all my questions with patience. (And I ask a lot of questions). He was super helpful, knowledgeable, and took great care of us. The crew that showed up was very nice, super thorough, and did an incredible job. I am amazed at how our attic has been transformed! We had gotten another quote before Fifth Fuel, and it was almost double the price to get less, which was nuts! I am going to recommend The Fifth Fuel to anyone who needs insulation/their attic redone!

Trinora Pinto-Sassman

Noticeable difference in temperature of upstairs once foam sealed and new blown insulation. The crew was meticulously neat and clean. It’s great having a cooler upstairs due to improved insulation. Thank you.

We just had Fifth Fuel re-insulate our crawlspace. Everyone we dealt with from Logan to the crew that did the work was awesome They took the time to make sure everything was covered up and we’re very respectful to our property We are very happy with the finished product. Thank you so much

The Fifth Fuel is great! We appreciate that their sales rep was easy to work with and a great communicator. Beyond that, he did not up-sell and reccomended an option that cost less because it more specifically fit out home and needs.

The team that worked on our attic insulation were friendly, prompt and quick.

My cellar is CRISP. Fifth fuel did an extraordinary job sealing my basement from moisture. An extraordinary investment. Great customer service from Josh. Best pricing and best work.

Alexandra Bellis

The top floor of our house has been significantly warmer and quite stuffy compared to the lower floors. After learning about the importance of attic insulation and air sealing, we called The Fifth Fuel. Logan was friendly and knowledgeable - answering all of my questions about the process and what was recommended. The crew (Walter, Renny, and Job) were prompt, friendly and so incredibly efficient. It's only been a day and we are already so happy with the results! Definitely recommend The Fifth Fuel.

The Fifth Fuel/Southland Insulators just finished my attic’s insulation. From start to finish, they were extremely helpful in making an easy decision to go with them! I highly recommend going with Fifth Fuel as they are the best bang for your buck and even save you money in the short and long term! Thank you Fifth Fuel!

Erik Brandstädter
Jun 14, 2024

I can highly recommend The Fifth Fuel for attic insulation projects! From start to finish this was a very good experience. The energy consultant Will Trenum, the crew lead Remi and his team, and the supervisor Luis were all excellent to work with and great communicators (in person, via text, and email). Pricing is very competitive and workmanship is top notch. Aside from price and communication, a deciding factor for me was that they file for rebates with Dominion Energy, reducing my expense significantly. The crew arrived on time and was very professional, respectful, clean, and efficient. After job completion I noticed one little area that needed some improvement and the supervisor contacted me and came out the next day to fix it. Great customer service! I now have a greatly improved insulation in my attic and can already feel the difference, being more comfortable in the home. Thank you to The Fifth Fuel team!

These guys did top quality work. The crews were professional, clean, accurate and punctual. I spent most of the days in the attic with them spraying (I was in a full-face respirator) and despite the hot, cramped conditions, they made sure every detail was right. Logan the sales rep was thorough and accurate. Checked in frequently through out the process. They made one error by removing a bit too much insulation in a section that was being left alone and they fixed it by reinsulating with new material instead of trying to hide it or cut corners. I would highly recommend these guys, 10/10.

We had basically no insulation, and leaks all around our attic. We knew when we bought the house that’d this work would need doing. Fast forward a year or so, and we’ve done our research - The Fifth Fuel came out as the clear, best option. Will came out to look at the situation, identify the areas for improvement, and answer all questions. He went above and beyond to help ensure we looked at everything that’d need addressing. Easy to get the quote and it was incredibly thorough. He was quick to answer all my follow-up questions too.
Scheduling was easy. Crew showed up at the time Will say they would. Friendly, efficient, and cleaned up any traces of a mess. They laid sheeting down from the front door to the attic ladder, and also wrapped around the ladder too. Could t believe how fast they were! Could I have air sealed and done this? Probably, but it’d have cost me multiple weekends of time with the family. They were done in mere hours.
Already noticing a huge improvement! Hats off to the whole team. 100% recommend Fifth Fuel!

Excellent experience with Fifth Fuel as they upgraded our attic insulation. The estimator was great and provided a detailed estimate and answered all questions. The installation crew were meticulous in their approach and left the house cleaner than when they arrived.

Will Trenum and his team were incredibly responsive, professional, and very fairly priced, and we are very happy with the end result. We needed to add open-cell foam insulation to a pair of interior walls we share with our neighbors that are incredibly old and had essentially no insulation/sound dampening. Will came by to analyze the unique attributes of the wall and help us come up with a plan to maximize the effect of the insulation. He was able to have his team come out in a matter of days, and they did a great job. I would absolutely recommend them.

Recently had our attic insulated. Logan and the installation crew did a fantastic job. They were prompt, courteous, and professional. During the install, I asked the crew to show/explain what they did and they explained everything I wanted to know. Highly recommended.

Our house already feels more comfortable! Warm when it should be warm and cool when it should be cool. Crew was also very professional, prompt and tidy!

My thanks to Logan Jones the Fifth Fuel energy consultant who came and assessed what needed to be done in my attic and two crawl spaces. His proposal was thorough and understandable. The work team was very efficient, ensured floors and stairs were covered in heavy plastic, and worked diligently all day. They cleaned up when finished, and vacuumed any excess dust, and took pictures of the completed job. I could tell a difference in the air, especially with my sinuses. I would highly recommend The Fifth Fuel for insulation and weather proofing your attic. Thank you Fifth Fuel

Our experience was great from getting an estimate through job completion. The team was able to accommodate our schedule and showed up right on time. They put plastic down to keep the house clean and accomplished everything in about 6 hours. They brought our aged home up to current insulation standards which should make a big difference in our upstairs temps. Highly recommend!

They did a great job removing old blow-in insulation in our attic. My husband was originally going to do it, but I am glad we hired them because they found a snake.

Really appreciated this company’s work. I needed some dirty, fuzzy insulation completely replaced— as advised by my exterminator.

This company was recommended by the colleague of a friend who works in construction. This team was incredibly responsive.

Josh responded to my web form inquiry right away and came out to see my basement. The price they quoted me seemed reasonable based on other comparisons and advice I’ve gotten. They got rid of the dirty pink insulation and replaced it with beautiful, sleek, shiny insulation. They were incredibly thorough, kind, professional, fast, and punctual.

One of their folks even came out to patch a few places. They just wanted to do the job right. They are also incredibly clean. They vacuumed my entire laundry area and it was pristine. Just super responsive, reasonable, and thorough.

My job wasn’t a huge job, and they still came out and treated me like a five star customer. Really appreciate them and how quickly they got the job done.

We worked with Fifth Fuel to remove our woefully inadequate insulation and get new loose fill insulation. Josh was professional in our discussions, and the company had the lowest estimate of all of the companies I got quotes from. Additionally, they did the blower door test and helped me fill out the Dominion Energy rebate form to help me get over $1500 back. I'd highly recommend them!

If you need insulation installed, this is the place! We had an issue with pests/rodents in our attic, and these guys came and cleaned it all out, sanitized, sealed, and insulated the entire thing. During the process, we discovered that we also had an issue with a sagging ceiling (part of having an old house), and they were very accommodating with putting the project on hold while we had to wait to get it fixed. Our home inspector was here one day when the crew was sealing everything, and he came down in disbelief about what a great job they were doing with ceiling every little crack. The crew was kind, respectful and did a tremendous job with cleanup. Our house was lined in plastic, which resulted in no mess at the end of the day. 10/10.

The Fifth Fuel is highly recommended to address your insulation needs. Logan responded quickly to evaluate my home, make recommendations with options and educate me on the available Federal credits and Virginia rebates currently available. I received my quote promptly and any questions/clarifications were answered. The insulation technicians arrived on time, were polite, kept the interior clean and provided me with pictures to show the work completed. I can already feel the difference after installation of new insulation and air sealing. I highly recommend Fifth Fuel for their professionalism and the quality of their work.

They did a great job. Logan was wonderful. He went above and beyond to help me out. I very much appreciated it. They were the only company that I got estimates from who told me about the dominion electric company rebates and not only did he tell me about it, he did all the paperwork for me and submited it to the electric company. He also gave me an idea of how much of the tax deduction would be. The company was a pleasure to work with. They came on time and cleaned up after the work was done. I recommend this company to anyone that needs to address their attic. Between the new installation and sealing around around all the ductwork, they improved the efficiency by 28%. Thank you Logan and thank you to the fith fuel of virginia llc.

I had a great experience with Fifth Fuel. After I moved into my townhouse and realized there was virtually zero insulation in my attic, they scoped it out, gave me a timely quote and were cost competitive. On the day of removal/installation, they were on time and were in and out in about 4.5 hours. I highly recommend!

We initially got an estimate done and learned our home was under is under insulated. Our energy bills were something nightmares are made of. Within two months we were able to save and pay for our home to be fully insulated. It has been a blessing. Our home feels even. We can tell heat is no longer escaping. The techs were excellent, our point of contact was excellent (Josh), and the payment was easy and professional. We are looking to use the company again for some tile needs!
