Posted on Maria B2023-05-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bob came to inspect the house, carefully evaluated what had to be done and explained us in detail the work that he would do. He then send us a very reasonable estimate and came to do the work soon after. He was very kind throughout the process and even offered to work around the nap time of our daughter not to make too much noise. He completed the work in half a day with his helper that also left the area clean and tidy. We would recommend Bob for great insulation work at a good price!Posted on Joanna2022-09-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did a good job in insulation and good customer service.Posted on Caroline Oneill2022-02-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Bob and his team on two separate instances for two different properties, and both times they were able to quickly identify my issues and help remediate them! Most recently, my fiancé and I moved into a 1900s renovated home. Upon moving in, we quickly noticed that we were FREEZING all the time, even when cranking the heat. Bob and his team came and performed a full audit of the home and discovered there was absolutely no insulation on our third floor. They also gave us some other very helpful tips on how to save energy in our home. I would recommend anyone who owns property to have Bob and his team come at the very least do an audit at your property, as we ended up saving tons of money on our energy bills after using his services. It is definitely worth it, especially if you have an older home or have been noticing high bills.Posted on Maria Edmonds2021-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got my attic insulated last February. H.E.L.P. did an excellent job. I could immediately see the difference in my energy bill, and the comfort in my home. I highly recommend them.Posted on Katherine Galbreath2020-08-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They insulated my (absolutely no insulation upon move-in) flat roof at a reasonable price! Bob and Mike came to assess/quote and Mike was super friendly and knowledgeable at installation!Posted on Alex Stimac2020-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HELP was a huge help for us. We are new homeowners and we were shocked at our high gas bills during our first winter in the house. After researching online, we signed up for the BGE home energy audit (costs $100 and includes a lot of free stuff as part of the audit. There is zero reason not to do it if you are at all concerned about the weatherproofing in your home). Bob from HELP came out to perform our audit, which revealed the existence of several massive connections between the attic and our basement, which essentially caused our basement to constantly suck cold air in from the outside, forcing our furnace to work overtime. Bob walked us through his proposal and quote as well as the BGE rebate process, and was able to secure a really high rebate for us. Mike and Joe came out to do the actual insulating and sealing work, and they were polite, diligent, and thorough throughout. I can’t say enough positive things about the HELP team and I highly highly recommend both HELP and the BGE Energy Audit program.Posted on mary bradley2019-01-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After getting a horrific energy bill on a recently renovated house in Arbutus, I called HELP and Bob came by and completely insulated the home, made things more energy efficient, and educated us along the way! Just received our energy bill and we think Bob is a rock star! Thank you!Posted on Donna Green2018-08-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my house attic and garage insulated along with some other energy efficiency updates and I can't say enough good things about H.E.L.P. After enduring adverse temperature extremes and paying out very high electric and gas bills for two years I am so glad to have made the investment to get the issues fixed. Thanks again Bob!
Federal Hill in Baltimore sits on a prominent hilltop south of the Inner Harbor. The historic brick rowhomes and converted warehouses create unique insulation challenges in this waterfront neighborhood. This page explains how an insulation contractor Federal Hill can help you achieve year-round comfort in older buildings.
Proximity matters because many Federal Hill properties have shared walls, original construction, and strict historic guidelines. We provide quick response times to homes between Cross Street Market and Fort Avenue. Contact us to discuss your rowhome, carriage house, or renovated warehouse space. If you qualify for income-based assistance, Baltimore City also offers weatherization and energy efficiency programs for eligible residents.
Rowhome Insulation Work Follows Federal Hill's Historic Character
You own a brick rowhome from the 1800s or early 1900s in Federal Hill. We help you preserve original architecture while improving energy efficiency and reducing drafts. Many properties require permits through CHAP (Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation). Our team knows how to navigate these requirements while keeping your project on schedule.
We regularly work on Light Street, Charles Street, and the side streets near the American Visionary Art Museum. Shared wall construction means coordinating with neighbors on thermal boundaries. Our team understands the balance between modern comfort and historic preservation. We’ve completed dozens of rowhome insulation projects that maintain the character Federal Hill residents value.

Attic and Roof Deck Insulation Protects Exposed Top Floors
You live on the top floor of a condo or own a full rowhome facing summer heat and winter cold. Proper attic insulation cuts HVAC costs and stops ice damming on steep roofs. Narrow rowhome attics often have limited access through small hatches or pull-down stairs. We bring specialized equipment to work in these tight spaces without damaging your ceilings.
Parking restrictions on Cross Street and Fort Avenue require early-morning material delivery. We choose spray foam or batt insulation based on existing rafter spacing and ventilation. Our crew works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most attic jobs finish in one day, and you’ll notice the temperature difference right away.
Basement and Crawl Space Insulation Stops Harbor Moisture
You deal with damp basements common in low-elevation Federal Hill blocks. Insulation paired with moisture barriers prevents mold growth and improves indoor air quality. Many basements near Key Highway sit close to the water table. The proximity to the harbor means humidity control becomes part of every basement insulation job we complete.
We’ve insulated crawl spaces on Warren Avenue and below William Street rowhomes. Vapor barriers and closed-cell foam work best in high-humidity conditions. Proper basement insulation protects your investment and creates healthier living spaces. We also check for existing water issues before installation to make sure your new insulation performs correctly.
Sound Insulation Between Units Keeps Shared Walls Private
You own a condo or manage multi-unit properties and want noise reduction between rowhomes. Soundproof insulation in shared walls reduces music, voices, and footstep transfer. Federal Hill’s dense rowhome blocks on Battery Avenue and Montgomery Street benefit most from this upgrade. Tenants and owners both appreciate the privacy that quality sound insulation provides.
Installation happens during renovations or when walls are already opened for other work. We install acoustic batts or mineral wool without damaging historic plaster or brick. You’ll notice the difference immediately after completion. Sound insulation also adds value if you plan to sell or lease your property in the future.

Post-Insulation Checks Confirm Performance in Older Buildings
All customers receive thermal imaging scans after installation to verify coverage. Checks confirm no gaps around original windows, door frames, or chimney chases. Federal Hill’s brick construction can hide air leaks that undermine new insulation. Our imaging equipment detects these problem areas so we can address them before we leave.
We document before-and-after R-values for homeowner records and resale value. Follow-up visits are available if drafts persist after the settling period. You can trust that your investment will perform as promised. For properties that also need air conditioning contractor services, we offer comprehensive climate control solutions.
