    Neil Jones gave me a very reasonable quote to install radiant barrier in the entire attic. He answered all my questions. He wasn't pushy to get any contract signed. I met with him on a Friday and the next Friday, his crew of three people came and finished the installation, 9 AM to 3 PM. They laid a plastic sheet on the floor, from front door till the attic door upstairs, to keep floor clean. Crew was very professional and hard-working. A thermostat controlled electric fan is also installed on the roof, for air circulation. Crew covered the entire attic including the garage attic, going way beyond and everything looks clean and professional. It has been only couple of days, and I can't talk about any energy savings. Feels warm inside, as today, it is freezing temperature outside. I very pleased with the service of Affordable Radiant Barrier. I will definitely recommend this company to anybody who is considering this service.

    Neal installed radiant barrier and insulation for us a little over a month ago. He also had some soffits and an attic tent installed. They finished the project in 1 day and left everything clean. On average we are seeing about a 25% daily reduction in electricity usage for cooling so far this summer.

    It was wonderful working with Neal Jones who is very knowledgeable and friendly. He found that my attic did not have an adequate number of soffit vents to permit hot air to be easily vented out via my existing turbine vents.

    The attic and the affected rooms already feel cooler. It will be interesting to see how much savings in electricity we will have going forward.

    ARB's quote was very competitive even with the extra work of cutting out new or replacing existing soffit vents. ARB's team was very professional, courteous, and left the job site clean. If you are looking to install a radiant barrier, I highly would highly recommend ARB.

    When it comes to selecting a contractor to work in my home, I'm very particular with who I choose and extremely thorough with my research. If you're considering putting in a radiant barrier and insulation in your home, Neal Jones with Affordable Radiant Barrier is the man you should call. He is honest, dependable, responsive and extremely knowledgeable in the field of energy efficiency for your home and attic. He thoroughly impressed me from start to finish and I'm extremely happy that we selected him for this job. It's rare that the owner of the business shows up for the install, much less stays for the entire job and even helps with the work. But Neal was onsite from start to finish, ensuring that the job was completed to his high standards, and to our complete satisfaction.

    Our installation is complete, and we can already tell a dramatic difference in the comfort level of our home, especially the second story. Even being inside the attic is tolerable now. Before the installation, I would set the upstairs thermostat to 73 degrees, but the AC unit would just run constantly and could never cool the second floor down below 78-79 degrees. Now when I set the thermostat to 73 (or lower) it has no problem reaching that temperature and holding there. I honestly wasn't sure if it was going to have a noticeable impact, but it has been incredible, and we are extremely pleased.

    Our electric bills used to range between $500-$600 during the summer months, and gas bills between $300-$400 during the winter months. After having the radiant barrier and additional insulation installed, our electric and gas bills have been well below $200. I look at this as an investment in our home and it is quickly paying for itself in saved utility costs.

    Neal and Affordable Radiant Barrier exceeded our expectations across the board. If you're in the market for a radiant barrier and/or insulation, do yourself a favor and give Neal a call. You can save yourself the hassle of having to meet with all the other vendors. You'll just waste a lot of your time and will end up selecting Neal for the job anyway. Trust me, you won't be disappointed by ARB!

    Thank you, Neal Jones, and Affordable Radiant Barrier, for reducing our energy bills, making our home more comfortable, and more livable during the brutal Texas summer heat. We couldn't be happier with the results!

    Neal and Marvin figured out why one room in my house was always warmer than the rest of the house
    and corrected the problem within 2 days of their first visit. I couldn’t be happier with their service and professionalism. So easy to work with. I highly,highly recommend them if you need radiant barrier or insulation.

    My bills were through the roof when I found Neal and his company. Our house was unbearable at night and our air conditioner ran 24/7 trying to keep up with the heat! Neal and his team were able to come in and finish the job in one day! There was not a trace that any workers had even been in my house, not on the stairs, or in any of the rooms! I swear my house actually looked cleaner than before they came lol. Neal took the time to sit down and explain how Radiant Barrier would cool my house and help reduce my bills, I feel like an expert on radiant barrier now.. He even took the time to check my air conditioner to make sure that it was running in tip top shape. The whole time Neal was here he was very professional and very personable. I know that if I ever move that I will be calling Neal again, and I brag about his company every chance I get!

    This is my third house that I have lived in the DFW area since 2010. Our first 2 homes were new builds by Highland and we absolutely loved them. They were sealed tight and insulated the way a house should be with radiant barrier. Our new home did not have radiant barrier. It is 2644 square feet with an upstairs. We got several quotes from other AC radiant barrier company’s . None of the companies would beat the price or quality of Neals product. When I met Neal on the day of our walk through I could tell he was a genuine person. He never once tried to up sell me anything other than what I needed and in the end he used the best radiant materials possible. His main man Ivan was able to crawl down a few tiny spaces and put radiant barrier on every inch of our attic. Neal also set up an attic fan. The barrier and the fan changed the attic temp from 146 degrees to 106 degrees. Neal is a man of integrity. He wants the customer to be taken care of and pleased about the job done. With this house being an older home I had many choices, but a lot of companies are not genuine or give 100% to the work being done. That is not the case with Neal. He cares about his work and his clients. I highly recommend him.

    I just had radiant barrier installed by Neal and his team. The inspection process and getting the quote was easy. I work random hour and Neal was able to work around my schedule. Neal and his installers did a great job. The install took a half day and the we very nice. They cleaned up after them selfs. Once complete Neal took the time to follow up multiple times after the install so I would highly recommend ARB.

    Neal installed a radiant barrier, additional soffits, and a new attic fan. The crew was extremely hard working, cleaned up the job site when completed and did a great job.

    The comfort level in our upstairs is drastically better and our air conditioners don't need to work near as hard in the heat of the summer.

    I highly recommend his company's services. Very affordable given the work conducted.

    Wonderful experience with Neal, and my house is finally manageable in the heat! I have never been able to cool the house lower than 78-79 degrees when over 90 degrees, but now I can keep it at 72.

    I also obtained 2 other estimates from bigger companies. They were all competitive, but I went with Neal because he didn't upcharge to seal my ducts and I just trusted him to do a great job. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

    We needed to have some insulation removed due to some water damage in our attic and ceiling. This company I recommend as they’re very responsive, very timely and very professional. They came out the next day and did an excellent job and even cleaned up.

    I was having some issues keeping my house cool, so I called Neal. He spent an hour surveying the house and walking me through his thought process. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything. He ultimately concluded my insulation was OK and recommended I get someone to look at my AC system before considering his services. I appreciate his honesty. It’s refreshing to know he wasn’t just after my money. Once I get my AC unit issues resolved I will definitely be calling Neal again.

    We are very satisfied with Radiant Barrier Neal's team installed recently.

    We had several bids for the attic project, Neal provided really competitive and affordable estimate with professional consideration for the energy conservation & efficiency - it included not only heavy duty radiant barrier foil and all new soffit vents, but also the attic door insulating tent and a new thermostat controlled power exhaust fan. The new stalled Radiant Barrier & equipment greatly eliminated heat buildup in attic, made attic cool down and reduced energy bill.

    Neal is an honest professional, what he said is what he did. We enjoy his service and like to recommend Neal to other friends.

    Neal was great to deal with and the crew did an amazing job. They installed radiant barrier throughout the attic and installed a fan with thermostat that helps keep the heat down during the 100+ degrees days. We have lived in our house since 2016 and this is the first time the upstairs has actually stayed cool in the summer and the AC is not running constantly. We set the thermostat on 74 degrees and is stays 74 all day long, and the AC is not running constantly to keep the house that cool. Before the radiant barrier was installed the AC would run non-stop and the temperatures would get up to over 80 degrees upstairs.

    Listen up y’all! If you’re looking for good people to help you bring down energy costs, then look no further than Affordable Radiant Barrier. Neal and his team lead by Marvin did a great job on my home. I cannot wait to see the energy savings and I am sure they will be there to help address any concerns.

    Neal and his team did a great job installing my Radiant Barrier. He walked me through the process of how radiant barriers work and the benefits of adding it to my home. The install team was on time, worked extremely hard, and got into areas of my attic that I still can’t believe they reached. My install was done on 105 day in July…so you can imagine how hot it was in my attic. His team pushed through and got it done in 1 day. I’d highly recommend Affordable Radiant Barrier to friends and family.

    I’ve struggled with cooling problems in the infamous Texas summer and a friend at work referred me to Affordable Radiant Barrier. Boy was this one of the best referrals I’ve received to date and I owe that friend lunch for the rest of the year!

    From start to finish Neal was nothing but honest, informative, and communicative in his approach. Rarely do you see the person at the top come out to do the quote, let alone stay in constant contact with you and working around your schedule.

    He informed me about the recommendation for the job and even gave me tips on cleaning my soffit vents to keep the airflow. He explained the reasoning behind each decision and did so in a professional but down to earth manner. To top it all off his quote was lower than others I’ve received from vendors like Energy Attic by a large margin. With the reviews and personal recommendation, it was a no brainer to go with a company that’s honest and wants to do right by its customers.

    We were having issues keeping our 1970 built house cool in this Texas heat. I received a quote from a local company that advertises a lot and their quote would have paid for a lot of advertising! I found Neal through a google search and am so glad I did! He was very professional and extremely thorough. He found items that needed to be addressed such as an AC unit leaking cool air into the attic and exposed duct work. We used ARB to install radiant barrier in our two attic spaces. They did a great job and Neal went above and beyond. He installed a high power attic fan, wrapped some open duct work, took care of the leaky AC unit, and even fixed an attic ladder that was just about to break. We are extremely pleased with the end result. Our radiant barrier was installed on August 7. Our electric bill before installation was $386 and after a full month with the radiant barrier, our electric bill dropped $132! Our house is staying cooler and even when it's extremely hot outside, the AC is not running all of the time. I would highly recommend Neal to do your radiant barrier - you'll be glad you did!

    Neal and his team were professional from the start. The quote was lower than others, and included only important items, like radiant barrier, attic fans, blown-in insulation, and replacing soffit vents. My attic is small with ducting all over, but Marvin and Homer were able to do a great installation, even in tight places. Between the summer heat and growing kWh prices, this will pay for itself.

    The List of services doesn't have Radiant Barrier LOL, Well I got most of the services and they did a great job. The prof is in the pics. In Texas EVERYONE needs Radiant Barrier , and Neal and his crew know what they are doing.

    ARB has top notch product and services and Neal Jones is super knowledgeable. I did a ton of research and actually had 3 quotes in hand - but something did not sit right with me .. until I met with Neal Jones from ARB. Jones was very personable, knew what his competition would quote and what services they would include / not include in their quotes. In his inspection of my attic space (both internally and externally), Jones focused on air flow -- more specifically how to move the hot air out of my attic -- he found that my attic did not have an adequate number of soffit vents to permit hot air to be easily vented out via my 4 whirlybird turbine vents. Neal was the only vendor to focus on this -- his point being that the RB is most effective when hot air in the attic is vented out - which requires air flow. Today ( May 15th, 2022 @ 2:00 pm) it is 87 degrees outside. The temperature in my attic is approximately 98 degrees .. far below the 130 - 140 degrees it would be without the RB. A cooler attic means that my AC system is working less to keep my home cool.
    Jones's quote was very competitive even with extra services of cutting in 10 soffit vents (other vendors did not quote this work). ARB's team was professional, courteous, and left the job site broom clean. If you are looking to install a RB, I highly recommend ARB.

    Hi - I wrote the above review several months ago. It is now late July and we (in North Dallas) have had 3+ weeks of 90 - 110 weather -- attach is a pic (taken Sunday 17 July 6:43 pm) of the thermometer in my attic -- shows 103 degrees and the outside temperature was easily upper 90 - lows 100s ... without ARB's radiant barrier, the temperature in my attic would have easily exceeded 130 degrees -- if not higher. I keep my home temperature at 78 degrees .. with ceiling fans running, I am very comfortable all day long (I work from my home) - the RB (along with the improved air flow via the soffits that Jones installed) is effectively keeping the heat out of my attic and, in turn, out of my home. My electric bill has reduced over $100 per month (for the past several months) -- I will easily earn back my investment in the RB in less than 36 months and since the RB will continue to perform for my lifetime, I will reap the return on my investment several times over. All-in, I continue to highly recommend ARB to my family, friends and neighbors!
