Insulating homes in Hampton, where we're based
We're based in Hampton, and it's a city that lives close to the water. Fort Monroe sits entirely inside the city limits, Buckroe Beach looks out across the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, and the Virginia Air & Space Science Center keeps an Apollo 12 command module for anyone who wants a look. That water shows up at home too, because many houses here have flooded, and more of the ones at risk are being raised as nuisance flooding comes around more often.
For insulation work, that means we check crawl spaces and the bottoms of walls for anything that's been wet before new material goes in, since covering soaked insulation just keeps the problem. Permits in the city go through the Development Services Center, and only the owner, their agent or a contractor licensed by the state and the city can apply. Its list names work like additions, decks and siding, so I check with that office about your address before we start, and when a permit is required, we apply as the contractor and set up the inspections.
Insulation contractor work we do in Hampton, VA
A&J Hampton Insulation and Spray Foam is an insulation contractor in Hampton, VA, working on the attics, walls and crawl spaces behind drafty rooms, a hot upstairs, cold floors and a power bill that keeps creeping up. We offer 16 services, from topping up a thin attic to pulling out old material and spraying foam. The price mostly turns on how many inches are already up there, whether the old insulation has to come out, how many gaps need sealing and whether you go with foam or loose fill. The schedule turns on any fixes that have to come first, like a roof leak or old wiring, and on a permit when the city calls for one. The written estimate gives you the figure for your own house.
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam goes on wet and expands to fill the space, so it insulates and seals air in one pass. It costs more than loose fill, and sealing the gaps and topping up loose fill usually wins, so I mostly point people to foam when their ductwork runs through the attic.
Attic insulation
Is it hot upstairs while the power bill keeps climbing? We check how many inches are already up there, seal the gaps first and bring the whole attic up to an even depth, edges included, because thin edges are where most attics come up short.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in is loose fill we blow through a hose across the attic floor, and it's the quickest way to build up a thin layer. We keep it back from the eave vents so the attic can still breathe.
Home insulation
This is for homeowners who want the whole house looked at, not just one room. We go through the attic, walls and crawl space and put them in order of what will help most.
Insulation removal
When old insulation has been soaked by a leak or filled with droppings, new material on top just buries the problem. We bag it out, clean up and leave the space ready for a fresh start.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors over a crawl space usually mean the insulation underneath has sagged, fallen or was never put in. We insulate between the floor joists so the rooms above feel warmer underfoot.
Wall insulation
We fill the space between the studs in your outside walls, whether they're open during a remodel or closed up in an older house. It's the fix for a room that stays drafty no matter where the thermostat sits.
Air sealing services
Air sealing means closing the gaps around pipes, wires, can lights and the attic hatch before any insulation goes in. Skip it, and the new insulation ends up fighting a draft.
Basement insulation
We insulate basement walls and the rim joist, the band of framing that sits on top of the foundation, so a basement stops pulling cold air into the rest of the house.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is the dense kind that blocks moisture as well as heat, so we reach for it in crawl spaces and other spots that see damp. It costs more than open-cell, which is why we use it where that extra protection earns its keep.
Open-cell foam insulation
What's open-cell foam good for? It's the lighter, softer foam that fills rooflines and walls and seals air well for less than closed-cell, and before we start, we tell you the re-entry time, when the kids and pets can come back inside.
Commercial insulation
We also insulate commercial buildings like offices and shops. The order doesn't change, so the gaps get sealed before the insulation goes in and coverage stays even out to the edges.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A crawl space vapor barrier is heavy plastic sheeting we lay over the dirt and run up the walls. It keeps ground moisture away from the framing and the insulation above it.
Vapor barrier installation
Who needs a vapor barrier outside the crawl space? Some walls, basements and attics do once new insulation goes in, and we'll tell you plainly whether your house needs one at all.
Attic air sealing
We seal the attic floor around can lights, plumbing pipes, wiring holes and the hatch with foam and caulk, then insulate over it. In a drafty house, it's often the step that makes the biggest difference.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation means adding to a house that's already built, usually an older one with a thin attic or empty walls. We work from the attic and through small openings so your finished rooms stay finished.
Why people call us before they spend money
Plain options, and what can wait
I'll walk you through each option in plain words and tell you which parts can wait. If something isn't worth doing yet, you'll hear that from me, so you're not paying for more than you need.
Leaks and wiring sorted before insulation
Insulation laid over a roof leak or old wiring just hides the trouble. We get those problems handled first, so the new material goes in over a dry, safe space.
Real answers whenever you ask
Ask before the estimate or halfway through the job, and you'll get a straight answer instead of a pitch. Plenty of people reach us after a hard sell somewhere else, and I'd rather you decide with the facts in front of you.
An estimate written line by line
Your estimate puts each part of the job on its own line, like sealing the gaps before the insulation goes down. You can see exactly what's included before you agree to anything.

What happens after you call
Call or send a request
Call (757) 367-8752 or fill out the form with a few words about the attic, walls or crawl space and what's bothering you. We get back to you within one business day to set a time, and you're welcome to ask questions on that first call.
I look it over with you
I come out myself and look at the space with you, checking how many inches are up there, where air is getting in and whether anything has to be fixed first. I go over what I find in person, then write up a free estimate with no obligation.
Fixes first, then the crew
When you're ready, we take care of anything that has to come first, like a leak, and handle the permit if the city calls for one. Then our lead installer runs the crew through the work, and I check in while it's going on.
Walk-through at the end
When the work is done, the crew walks you through it and shows you what went in and where. You'll see the sealed gaps, the clear eave vents and the depth out at the edges, and anything you still want to ask gets answered before we leave.
