All reviews for Affordable Radiant Barrier

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!

Neal and his team are very professional. They came to my house at 9 and finish all the job around 5:30. They get the job done perfectly and cleaned the house before they go. I have four companies gave me the quote, but the price from Affordable Radiant Barrier is unbeatable, and their radiant barrier and service are so great. Highly recommend.

Neal took extra time to perform his inspection before a quote was generated. When the quote was provided, it was much lower than his competitors.

The ARB team was professional and performed the install in 1 day. Our attic temperature has dropped at least 30F with the radiant barrier.

Neal and his installers did a great job and he took the time to follow up multiple times after the install so I would highly recommend ARB.

I owe it to Neal and the reviews I got from this page, thus it is only right for me to return the favor to both Neal Jones and this review page to share my experience.

From the initial contact to getting quote, Neal has been very straightforward. He explained how the Radiant Barrier worked and proceed with checking the 3 attic spaces at our house.
I have read a good bit of info about radiant barrier and still, I learned more with him that day.
For those who plan to research, just schedule a call with Neal, he can explain everything in details for 20 minutes and this will save you hours of reading about this on the internet.

Our house have the thermal insulation (blown type) but during 100F days, the 2nd floor can get pretty hot and uncomfortable. Our first floor are all high ceiling, 13-14ft. The AC also struggle to keep up and failed to bring the 2nd floor temperature down to 77-78 F unless it runs constantly during the day and that's with the help of the other 2 units cooling the 1st floor and some (I actually used industrial air mover last summer to blow some cool air upstairs and the sounds of it get to be very annoying real quick).

Prior to Neal, I have asked another contractor who gave me a quotation without really explaining the scope of work, what type of material, which part is included, etc. I really didn't know what I will get for the price (higher than Neal) and whether it will work or not.

I also told Neal that I plan to have a new roof soon and not only he suggested non-black color shingles, he also refer me to a good roofing contractor (which I ended up choosing as he also do the good explanation and price - I want impact resistant shingles).

Long story short - Neal's crew installed the Radiant Heat Barrier for 3 of the attics in a little over a day, including the area that was super hard to reach between the garage and kitchen, soffit vents got replaced to provide better airflow, and Marvin and the crew cleaned up the areas after.
Neal came to check on the barrier installation and again during the roof replacement(for the fan). Marvin came over to check again a week later as well, as I had more unanswered questions.

Summer is not here yet, but I will provide an update when the 100s are here.

Affordable Radiant Barrier is definitely a 5 star provider in our book.

Note: Neal also help me with a mouse trap, which I have been trying to catch/kill for the past 4 months. just one but it's been such a smart creature, avoiding traps, baits, glue, etc.

About a year ago we had radiant barrier installed and it was the best upgrade we have made to our home. We also had tint installed by the same installer on most of our windows
Our upstairs AC had always struggled to keep up with the hot summers here in TX and last year was the first year we were able to keep the temperature where we wanted and it maintained! There was a small issue during install that the owner worked with us to make right. If anyone is considering getting radiant barrier I say stop considering and just get it done. Our only regret is not doing it when we first bought our home years ago.

Mr. Neal was great from the moment we spoke. He came out to view the attic and explained everything thoroughly. I knew when we spoke via phone that I would use his company.
His crew, Mr. Marvin and Mr. Larry, did an amazing job with the radiant barrier, turbine exhaust vents, and attic door. Mr. Marvin also went out of his way to adjust a splash guard on the roof since he was already up there.
Mr. Neal, Mr. Marvin, and Mr. Larry are the coolest professionals! They were awesome... and I had an enjoyable experience with them.

I had three companies including Affordable Radiant Barrier come out to my home to access my attic. I chose AFB because of Neal Jones' thoroughness, attention to me and my needs and his very competitive installation estimate. He spent a lot of time in my attic assessing the 'current' insulation, ventilation and my HVAC's insulation too. He also inspected the soffit vents all around the outside of my home too. He then took a good amount of time to explain his overall install plan and why it would make the most sense for my home. One of the other companies only spent 10 minutes during their inspection. While the third company came back with an estimate that was higher and did not include as much airflow/ventilation improvement work Neal recommended. Besides installing the radiant barrier, AFB put in an electric exhaust fan, and added over 15 new soffit vents (and fixed many of the existing ones that were never installed ((some just had tiny hammer holes)) correctly by the builder 20 years ago. He also came up with a solution to insulate the attic access door in my office (see pic) to help keep that room cooler too.

Neal is professional and friendly. He has a hard working team and while I am not a pro their work seemed very complete was done neatly. They cleaned up so well my attic, garage and yard that you could not tell they had been there. The only thing I had to clean up was some tiny ceiling/paint pieces that fell down from my home's pot lights.

Ultimately, the 'proof' of radiant barrier will come after I access my electric bills for years pre and post install. But if you have decided to add radiant barrier to home's overall insulation package, I recommend Affordable Radiant Barrier.

Neil will quickly review the property need. Marvin and the crew are nothing short of nuclear with the output of workmanship. The property was huge with attic conversion. There dynamics from beginning to end was a positive conclusion. They also worked around my busy schedule. Hats off..

Neal Jones and Marvin Gay both were outstanding in their services.
Came in and identify what could be my main problem. Ridge vents and turbines on my roof. Install radiant barriers and added insulation to bring it up to code. I know I'm not losing any inside tempetures out of my attic or roof thanks to Affordable Radiant Barrier. I wonder if they do windows? This is a great company. Thank y'all Mr. Neal Jones and Marvin Gay

Excellent service!! Neal is great. We completely replaced insulation in the attic due to a rodent problem. Exterminator companies marked up the price 3 times what Neal charged. Handyman sealed up the entry points and boom, we're done!
