What Long Beach Homeowners Say About Thistledown Insulation Long Beach
Reviews matter because insulation is invisible work. You can’t see it from the curb, and you won’t know if it was done right until August hits and the upstairs bedroom still won’t cool below 80. That’s why we ask every Long Beach customer to tell us the truth about their experience with our attic and spray foam jobs. The reviews below come from homeowners we’ve worked with across the city. They mention the things we hope define every job: a written price before work starts, shoe covers in the hallway, and a clean attic when we leave.
Recent Reviews
“We called on a Tuesday and had someone out Thursday morning. The written estimate was in my hand before the crew opened the attic hatch. They blew in Owens Corning AttiCat fiberglass across our 1,100-square-foot attic, and the upstairs bedrooms finally hold temperature. No upsell, no pressure.”

“The tech noticed our 1960s attic had almost no air sealing around the recessed lights and bathroom fan before he started. He explained why that matters for keeping the cool air in, then quoted the additional work on the spot, still before any work began. That’s the kind of transparency you don’t always get in Long Beach. Clean-up was photo-documented before they left.”

“Two uniformed guys showed up, laid drop cloths down our hallway, and wore shoe covers from the front door to the attic ladder. We have a dog and a baby, and they asked before moving anything. The spray foam in the rim joists made a noticeable difference in the dining room within a week.”

“Our old fiberglass batts were matted and maybe R-11 in places. Thistledown matched us with Knauf R-38 rolls, and the difference in our heater cycling this winter was immediate. The price they wrote down on day one was the exact price we paid. No surprises, no last-minute add-ons.”

“I called at 9 p.m. expecting voicemail. A live person answered and booked the estimate while I was standing in my kitchen. The installer who came out knew his product lines cold, helping us choose between Rockwool and GreenFiber based on our old home’s venting situation. My wife appreciated that he checked the attic for old knob-and-tube wiring before recommending anything.”

“We did spray foam in a 1950s Long Beach garage the previous owner had half-finished. The crew quoted the job with Demilec closed-cell foam, showed me the data sheet, and walked me through the curing time before I signed. The before-and-after photos of the cleanup were on my phone before they pulled out of the driveway. That’s attention I’ve never gotten from a subcontractor.”

Why Customers Trust Us
The reviews above share a common thread: none of those customers had to guess what the job would cost or who would be walking through their front door. We hand every Long Beach homeowner a written price before any work begins, every single time. That’s not an option, not a package upgrade, not a “if you sign today” special. It’s how we’ve run Thistledown Insulation Long Beach since Neil Barron opened the doors in 2003.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise sits behind every job, whether it’s a full attic re-insulation in Wrigley or spot air sealing in El Dorado Park. If the job isn’t done right, we make it right. No debate, no fine print. We also show up the way you’d want a guest to show up: background-checked techs in uniform, drop cloths across the hallway, shoe covers from the door to the attic hatch, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. These aren’t add-ons. They’re included on every visit.
And because we install eight insulation brands including Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, CertainTeed, Icynene, Demilec, and GreenFiber, the product recommendation matches your attic and your household, not the one we happen to stock. Where a pet-safe option exists, we’ll tell you.
