Constraction reviews in Bellevue, Washington

I contacted Attic Doctor when I discovered mold in my attic. Jay came out after hours when I could be home from work and spent a long time thoroughly documenting and explaining my mold issue with me. Attic Doctor took care of the mold, replaced all my insulation, refurbished my ducts, and created a new attic access door on the side of my house that had no previous access for a very reasonable price. Jay was always quick to return my texts or calls when I had questions about the job, and he and his team have high standards for top-rate work.

It's been a month, and the new insulation (EcoBatt) has been amazing. I let my heat drop 5 degrees at night to save energy, but my house is only cooling by about 2 degrees, even with outside temperatures dropping into the 40's. It used to quickly drop those 5 degrees. The upstairs is also getting much better heat flow and staying warmer now that the attic ducts are insulated. My upstairs attic-style bedrooms no longer have that old, musty smell that I always thought was part of owning a 1950's house.

It's nice to know that my mold issue has been taken care of and that Attic Doctor will return annually or at my request to make sure it's not returning. The pictures show the mold before treatment, old insulation (blown-in on the floor), and the newly insulated ducts and EcoBatt. I highly recommend Attic Doctor for both attic insulation and mold problems.

The contractor/Inspector was very professional and explained the mold problem in our attic so we could understand it. The crew did a great job throughout. Very impressed with every aspect of the job at hand.

Short Review: Hire Attic Doctor, they are great, you won't be disappointed, they are obsessed with quality and they will ensure a great customer experience, even if there are challenges.

Detailed Review: Jay, the owner, came out for the original estimate and spent twice the time inspecting my attic and twice the time sitting down with me and clearly explaining everything, better than the other companies that came out. He also noticed a lower attic that was missed by others and that even I forgot about. That portion of that attic wasn't included in the other estimates, until I reached out asking them about it confirming the others did miss it.

While Jay's company is fairly new, I looked them up on the WA State LNI website and everything matched, they are, as of June 2023, licensed, insured, zero issues or complaints. I also looked them up on BBB Online, and while they aren't a member, they still received an A+ rating. I do recommend everyone do their own research. I was a bit nervous due to the low amount of reviews.

The issue with my attic was the 20 year old blown in insulation that had settled down to below standards in thickness, migrated towards the edges which mostly blocked all soffit vents. Having proper ventilation in your attic is key to a healthy attic. I did some research on this and read a WSU paper on proper insulation (types, R-value, etc) in WA State. Even though my newer roof I had installed a few years ago included a full ridgeline vent, hot air couldn't escape because of the blocked soffit vents. Stagnant hot and humid air over the years had slowly caused mold to grow throughout the attic. It wasn't horrible, but it needed to be dealt with too. Which Attic Doctor was able to do.

Jay's crew spent the whole day at my house and Jay was right there along with them. The crew was great and they cordoned off a path from a upper story window through a hallway into the master bedroom closet where the attic access was located, sealed that path with plastic sheeting. That is how the crew got in and out of the house, leaving the main floor completely undisturbed. The crew did like to listen to their music loudly while they worked, but it didn't bother us. I'm sure you can ask to have them turn it down or talk to Jay beforehand if you think that will be an issue for you. I'm not sure how they can stand working in a 100°+ attic with full protection gear and full respirator masks! And they dealt with a live yellow jacket nest too, ouch! Those guys are so nimble and fast and seemed to be having fun despite the angry wasps.

There was a slight problem where a crack formed in the ceiling in my closet while they worked. Jay immediately brought it to my attention and told me it would be fixed. Not only was it fixed, it was fixed that very same day by an expert in drywall repair whom Jay called out at his own expense. They even had the paint color laser matched so it didn't matter we didn't have the paint. My wife couldn't tell there was ever a crack after the repair. I was also impressed with the cleanup afterwards, leaving virtually no trace they were there. The attic looks new! I even saw Jay picking up small bits of old insulation after the crew left that somehow escaped to my driveway that most people wouldn't even have notice. Jay is a stickler for detailed and seemed obsessed with quality. This is what you want in a company.

Now that we have proper insulation and ventilation, I'm looking forward to better upstair temps throughout the summer. I'll update this review over the coming weeks on how much it has helped. Thank you Attic Doctor for fantastic work!

After getting 5 estimates the Attic Doctor impressed us the most. We went ahead with our project of replacing the insulation in our 47 year old house in the attic and crawlspace. This company did it all! They took care of the mold they found, removed the old insulation (that was only R11!) vented bathroom fans to the OUTSIDE instead of blowing directly into the attic, brand new white vapor barrier, and fluffy new R49 insulation in all spots. We've already felt a difference in our comfort and temperature in the house. They set rodent traps and will come back to make sure we are clear. If the traps go off, they will look for and plug any holes they find. Jay and his crew were beyond professional, skillful, and polite. We are absolutely satisfied customers and recommend wholeheartedly this business!

We had a great experience with Attic Doctor. The company truly exemplifies customer service. Every single person we spoke to was kind and helpful from start to finish. They did quality work on our attic and went above and beyond to make everything right for us. They took tons of photos and answered all our questions. The team left our home clean and were extremely respectful. Thank you Chris, Jay, Elias and team!

We had mold and mice in the attic. The team came in, cleaned, sealed and set rodent traps. We were very happy with the work, the results and the follow up visits to confirm all was still well. Great job, would highly recommend this responsible and personal team.

Attic doctor handled mold treatment and installation of new insulation in the attic. They were very professional and were very trustworthy. Their costs were also reasonable compared to other quotes we got. There was no compromises on the quality.

In short, I would highly recommend Jay and the Attic Doctor team for your upcoming insulation project. We had zero issues and I’m confident you won’t either.

During the proposal process Jay (the owner) was incredibly helpful and informative. He performed a detailed inspection, took lots of photos and we had thorough discussion regarding the pros/cons of different insulation materials, techniques etc. The price was very competitive relative to other bids we received, even with the superior products Jay’s team prefers to use (every other contractor will assume you want standard blown-in insulation because its typically the cheapest)

Jay’s team arrived early and got to work immediately...four guys in total for our 2500 sq/ft home. They made quick work of clearing the old insulation, air sealing and rodent proofing in the morning. In the afternoon they installed in the new batt insulation (a very highly-rated, eco-friendly product). Other proposals we received would’ve spread the project over multiple days/weeks which just isn’t convenient for me and my young family. The job itself was incredibly smooth, clean and easy. If anything unexpected were to have happened (which thankfully didn’t) I’m confident Jay would’ve quickly addressed any issues.

At the end of the day, Jay took me up into the attic to show me their work and it was clearly done to a high standard. Later that evening he sent me dozens of before/after photos and videos of the rodent proofing, cleaning etc., which you can’t see during or after the installation process itself.

Finally, communication with Jay and the team was easy and efficient; I knew exactly what was happening and when. I have more insulation work needed in the garage and crawlspace and I won’t hesitate to use Jay and the Attic Doctor team.

**Updating my review after 8+ months of having the project complete**

The "sealing" they did in our attic wasn't sufficient--we now have mud dauber wasps building extensive nests in our attic. The mesh screens the Attic Doctor team installed over the venting holes are much too large and allow pests to enter. I contacted them about the issue, since Jay said "call us any time if anything comes up", and over a week later still haven't heard back...Now we have to get the nests removed and figure out how to seal up the soffit vents ourselves.

Our house also used to stay within a 15 degree temperature range without the HVAC system on and didn't really go above 75 or below 60. But since installing the new insulation, the inside temperature isn't much different from the outside temp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A leak from our roof into the attic and subsequently the microwave by way of the range hood vent prompted us to finally explore the attic of our newly purchased 1974 home. What we found was all kinds of questionable things from water stains to toxic loose-fill insulation and many openings/cracks for water and rodents to potentially enter.

The owner Jay is very involved from the inspection process to the final walkthrough after the work is finished. He was very responsive and receptive to concerns and questions. You can tell he really cares about doing a good job and prioritizing the customer experience above all else!

The Attic Doctor team worked fast and efficiently to vacuum out all of the old blown-in insulation, remove any mold, seal up all of the cracks and crevices, and installed more eco-friendly EcoBatt insulation--all while keeping the rest of the house protected during the whole process :)

(My *only* critique is that the cleaner they use, Fabuloso, has a strong scent, but I'm sensitive to fragrances. Thankfully it dissipated by morning--but a scent-free option would be great!)

Great experience with Attic Doctor! Chris is the man. Performed the inspection, diagnosed and provided recommendations to improve my attic’s air flow. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had great communication. Always responsive to my questions.

Props to Elias, the foreman, and his crew for their quality work and keeping my house and driveway clean during the attic insulation replacement. During their work, they gave me every opportunity to enter the attic and review their process with my own eyes. I feel they gave me a great product and treated my project as if it was their own home.

The team at attic doctor could not have been better, more responsive, willing to work with us got out here fast for an assessment and had a fast turnaround time to get the work done. Excellent job all around highly recommend these guys their quotes were very competitive and I was extremely impressed with the quality of their work.

FANTASTIC!!! Call them now if you need attic work.
Had my roof replaced years ago but never addressed the moldy insulation and trusses. The Attic Doctor crew came in and handled it in a day!

TL;DR
-Super cool owner, Jay.
-Everyone was friendly, polite, and respectful.
-Work was fast, well done and documented with pics, effective.
-Price was only about 15% above average quote but well worth it.
-Mold warranty is great peace of mind for me at least.

Jay, the owner, came out to do the inspection himself. He is super cool and cares a lot about his trade and his crews. Within a week they were there and ready to roll.

Removed old blown in stuff and replaced with batting that looks better and is soooo much easier to deal with and walk over. Vapor sealed every ceiling penetration and took pics of each. Remediated the mold on all surfaces, even if non present as a preventative. Installed new insulation and wrapped all the ducts. And installed 6 new vents for the roof to breath as the original vents from new roof were not antiquate.
They did all these things in a very efficient way just bam-bam-bam one right behind the other.

Love the picture aspect as once its covered in insulation you cannot easily see what was sealed without pulling it back up so it gives me a peace of mind that I have pics knowing the condition everything is in without having to dig around to see.
They not only rodent proofed the attic but also did the crawlspace as well. Testing smoke actually moves through the attic now. IT FINALLY BREATHES!
There is also a 10 year mold remediation warranty they provide for free. They will come out and remediate any mold if if comes back and work with you on a solution so it doesn't come back. This is a huge boon to me as mold was my chief issue originally.

The crew were very friendly and really love working together. As a blue collar worker myself I like seeing a crew that's happy doing what they do. Always took their shoes off before coming inside to the crawlspace even without being asked. Helpful with any questions or requests. They worked very efficiently and cleaned up very well after the work was complete.

I would 100% call them again and recommend to anyone needing any kind of attic work done, just call The Attic Doctor!

I had some issues with mice and rats getting into the crawl space under my house, then into the ducting and walls. Attic Doctor came out within a day or two of calling them, and then had the crew on site the next week. They finished everything in one day and left the jobsite quite clean and orderly. I used this company off of a recommendation from someone else and would pass that recommendation on to anyone else. Its worth the price; you're getting quality work here. Eder was the site manager on my job and he took the time to explain everything they did at the end of the day and answer questions for me while I reviewed everything. Excellent service!

It was great working with Attic Doctor to get our crawlspace vapor barrier replaced, including resealing all the HVAC ductwork in the crawlspace, redoing the duct insulation, and sealing the crawlspace to prevent future rodent infestations. Jay was very friendly and easy to work with on the estimate, the work crew was very efficient, the work was exactly what we expected, all done in one day, and the price was quite reasonable. Thanks!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jay and his team for my home insulation project, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Jay is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about providing top-notch service. His team was punctual, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy. They find out lots of mold issues and treated it very professionally!The quality of their insulation work has already made a noticeable difference in the comfort and energy efficiency of my home. If you're looking for reliable insulation services with a trustworthy and dedicated owner, I highly recommend Jay and his company!

In the process of assessing our property for a new roof, our roofer discovered mold in our attic and so we reached out to Attic Doctor. They were quick to respond and explained exactly what the issues were and how they would fix them. They completed the job as specified and we've had no problems since. We are very pleased with the job they did and grateful for resolving our issue.

I had a great experience with Attic Doctor! Jay and team were extremely communicative about the work plan and transparent about pricing. I had a full attic cleaning, removal of insulation, and fresh insulation installed, among other services. The results went above and beyond expectations. My attic was particularly tricky, with all sorts of rocks and pebbles in addition to the old insulation. While this wasn’t expected, the team went out of their way to clean the attic thoroughly despite the added obstacle. The result was spotless (note the before and after photos) and after the new insulation, I can really feel the difference in my home. Woody the foreman was communicative and present, always willing to answer questions. Even with an unexpected pause in the work to have testing on attic materials, the folks at Attic Doctor were patient and encouraging throughout the process. I can’t imagine going anywhere else for my attic needs in the future, but I have a feeling with the quality of work done, I should be set for a long, long while!

Love the fact they showed up ready to work. Foreman took the lead and the rest followed. The salesperson was upfront about everything including dumping trash I needed to get rid of stuff that had been in my crawlspace for years. Old wood chairs, mirror, misc boxes with old paperwork gone. Chris made good on his word. I pulled stuff out so it wouldn't slow the guys down. The foreman doubled checked with me what I wanted gone. All the work is very professional, I personally crawled the area, everything looked as though I was standing behind them watching. Great job! Oh, then I see that there was no up charge for the trash. WHAT? Thank you for making my life easier. Im still smiling.

I hired the attic doctor to clean out a dirty crawl space under my duplex to pass the home inspection during the sale. They completed the job beautifully and under bid two other companies to get the job. Would highly recommend the attic doctor.. Jerry Fox

From the first visit to estimate until the end of the job, this company was super! They don’t do a handoff like a lot of companies - the person who estimated the job (Chris) was onsite to make sure what he proposed was what was delivered. Our house was really in need of work and compared to all the other proposals, Attic Doctor shined. Honest, transparent and an absolutely amazing job. Our house is cool in the summer, warm in the winter, mold and pest-free.

Attic Doctor has proven there worth!
I needed a crew somewhat last minute, and was lucky to find this skilled team! They are very clear and concise about what they are doing, what is needed, and they were thorough in the execution of the job and the tidy cleanup! Also worked perfectly alongside, and in conjunction with my seperate roofing crew. I just had my follow up visit and all looks great:) Thank you Attic Doctor!
