At the core of our genesis, Applegate was an insulation contractor. We jumped into that role trying to guarantee energy bills for electric resistance heat in the early 50s—as long as the homeowner had “adequate” insulation. Surprisingly, we didn’t truly know what “adequate insulation” actually was, but as we began paying out on some of those guarantees, we discovered the superior insulating properties of cellulose  insulation. That was just the beginning of our story.

We know that as an insulation contractor, you have a choice about what insulation products you will offer to your customers. You can sell batts alongside virtually every other insulation contractor in your area. Or you can offer an upgraded insulation package of custom-fit, natural fiber insulation.

We also know there’s a lot more to being successful in the insulation business than the product you install. If an insulation contractor thinks all they sell is insulation, they’re in for a big shock. Applegate works with insulation contactors nationwide to deliver what so many homeowners and builders are looking for. Homeowners want insulation, but they also want more…comfort. Builders, too, want insulation…and a whole lot more—comfortable customers and the peace of mind found in knowing they’ll have fewer callbacks because of the quality installation you can provide.
