Stop wasting energy & start saving money.

Experience why residents in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding areas call Critter Stop to help improve their home energy efficiency

Let's get started

"I reached out to Critter Stop and heard back quickly. Jon came out and inspected my attic and outside my home. He was very professional, wore a mask, and explained things well. I knew from my home inspection before I bought the house it was in need of attic insulation and there were rat traps in the attic. He made some great recommendations and I was able to move forward with the inspection, sealing up attic and exterior, and fogging the attic. They also replaced my electric attic fan with a solar fan. I'll be saving up to use Critter Stop for the removal of old and addition of new insulation. They were on time or early for every appointment and great at communicating with me."

Your Thorough Restoration Service

We offer a full restoration service to give you complete peace of mind in your home's energy efficiency. We tear out what's old, inspect and sterilize what's left, and insulate your space using the best materials on the market. Here's the breakdown of our process.

Old Attic Insulation
1

Remove Old Insulation

We take out the old and replace it with new. Before we do anything, we remove all old insulation, any animal droppings, as well as debris until we're left with the original bare decking of your attic. Our technicians use an 8-inch diameter industrial vacuum that'll pick up all debris. Our technicians come into the home wearing hazmat suits, gloves, and respirators to keep them safe.

Complimentary Attic Inspection

It's not often that your attic is stripped down to its bare decking. We take this opportunity to give a full inspection of the attic interior. Our technicians take a look at the wiring, ducting, piping, and even the sheetrock to confirm that it's all in good order. Any damage to ducting, piping, and sheetrock can be repaired as needed by our crew. We mark any electrical damage with a ribbon, which makes it easy for a certified electrician to repair it at a later time.

Rodent Droppings in the Attic

Deployment of Sanitizing Fog

Our technicians will check in on your home several times throughout this process. If game cameras have been set up, we’ll review those with you to discuss the animal activity. Once the traps are cleared, we will reset them and re-evaluate all the sealed points of entry to ensure no critter has re-chewed a hole or found a new way into your property.

Prepare the Attic

Before we spray blow-in insulation, we need to ensure that the attic is ready for application. First, we install a flame retardant covering over all can lights. Can lights need to breathe so they don't overheat. Covers give them space to breathe and also protect them from insulation. A can light that gets too hot will overheat, blow, or even cause a fire. Next, we conduct what is known as "airflow spot sealing". This process separates the air in your attic from the air in the rest of your house. To do this, we spray foam around all components installed through the sheetrock to fill any small gaps. Without airflow spot sealing, the hot air of your attic will continually mingle with the conditioned air of your home, increasing your energy costs and your overall discomfort.

Blow-in Insulation is Applied

Last but not least, with your attic thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and prepped, we install our blow-in insulation. We use 13.5 inches of Owens Corning fiberglass insulation. Owens Corning is the largest and most trusted brand in the industry, with top-of-the-line products at affordable prices.

"Very professional and knowledgeable, as well as friendly. Great value vs. other competitors. Highly recommend!"

Insulation

When it comes to insulation, we can do it all for you. We offer insulation removal, installation, top-offs, and even our custom full restoration service. It doesn't matter what you do with the rest of your home—if your attic insulation is lacking, you're going to feel it in your wallet. Having a poorly insulated attic is like walking outside in freezing cold weather.

Blow-in Insulation

Solar Attic Fans

Your attic air needs to move. Even in early summer, your attic will reach stifling temperatures. Attic fans exhaust hot air and lower the temperature, which makes your air conditioner work less. Best yet, our fans are completely powered by solar energy, so they don't make a dent in your electric bill. Just one fan will be enough for 2,500 square feet of attic space.

Solar Attic Fan

Radiant Barriers

Radiant barriers act as a spacer between the exterior of your roof and the inside of your attic. They're made of reflective material and are placed along the tops of the joists of your roof. The material is constructed to reflect the heat of the sun and keep it at the roof level, so it never enters your attic.

Radiant Barrier

Ducting Replacement

Ducting gets old. Sometimes it's made of cheap material or even improperly installed. Whatever the case, after some time, your original ductwork can break down and have little or no insulation around it. As air-conditioned air passes through old ductwork, some of that cold air can escape into your attic before it travels to where it matters. Replacing, repairing, and inspecting ductwork is one of the easiest ways to reduce your utility bills and keep your air conditioning unit from overworking.

I’d give a 10 star review if I could! We had a great experience with Critter Stop. Everyone I dealt was friendly, professional, and reassuring. Phillip was very helpful and knowledgeable about the work he was doing. He walked me around the entire house to make sure I saw and understood the services he provided. He was also really nice and answered all my questions — he is exactly the type of person that should be interacting with customers.I love the fact that they will come back for up to 1 year after installation if any problems occur — this shows me they stand behind their work.The owner was great too, he personally came to my house and walked me through their offering. I recommend critter stop to anyone and everyone!

Critter Stop is a fantastic business! Everyone involved is extremely professional and very easy to communicate with. Chisam, the owner, did a great job of explaining the process to get the squirrels out of my attic during the initial free estimate. The exclusion crew who did all of the initial work was fabulous. The crew consisted of Phillip, Nick and Corey who arrived promptly when they said they would. They are happy, positive employees. Everyone is very polite and patient in explaining their work and answering questions. They came back several times to check the traps and finish it off with the fogging. Lester was very good about following up to schedule each trap check with me, and the office staff who took care of the billing was very efficient. Critter Stop is a well run company with honest, trustworthy employees! Thank you to all of you who worked hard to make my attic critter free and for the peace of mind that you guarantee your work. Great to know I can call them if for some reason a squirrel figures out a way to get back in!

The guys at Critter Stop responded quickly, were very friendly, and gave us an honest estimate of what we might need. They explained why some items on other quotes were or were not necessary. They communicated well to get us scheduled, and did the work well and quickly. Great service at a fair and competitive price.
