Services
We are a full-service insulation contractor that's been in business for more than 30 years in the Twin Cities. Our philosophy of business has remained the same since the day we opened our doors: To treat each home as if it were our own; To treat each homeowner as if they were family. Progressive Energy Corporation is now under the ownership and operation of NorthStar Insulation Inc. of Forest Lake, MN.
Spray Foam Insulation is the most effective insulation you can install, and it is structurally reinforcing and sound reducing. Spray Foam expands so that all air flow is sealed off. While initial costs to install it are higher than other insulation, it's proven effectiveness makes it worthwhile. Cellulose Insulation is the most green option available on the market and costs less than some other insulation.
Consider the various types, their R-values and the thickness needed. The type you use for your project will depend on the spaces that need it. Insulation that works best for a ceiling isn't the same as what works best in wall cavities, for example. A combination of insulation types is usually the best solution, especially in new construction where all the spaces are open.
This is one of the most common questions homeowners want to know when considering an insulation project. It's important to know that if insulation is compressed, it won't give you its full rated R-value, such as when insulation batts rated for one thickness are squeezed into a thinner space. Joists, studs and rafters in the project area will affect the R-value of the insulation too - in a ceiling for example.
Closed-cell spray foam insulation* is the most effective insulation solution available. It produces a higher R-Value per square inch of installation as compared to cellulose or fiberglass insulation. It also improves overall structural stability and provides a soundproofing benefit as well. Tired of spending too much money on energy bills?

I would highly recommend this hard working group. We had our attic insulation blown, attic sealed up, garage attic blown and garage walls blown. There was a couple little issues along the way but these folks came back and made things right. I feel they went above and beyond. For my next project they will be called!

I hired Progressive to foam the crawl space under my 4 season porch in White Bear Lake. They were able to come out a day after I requested service, due to a cancellation on their schedule. They worked quickly and were careful when working around my old home and its quirks. When they got stuck in a really tight area of the crawl space, they called another one of their guys off a different job to crawl back into this incredibly tight space to finish the job correctly, and were positive and upbeat about the whole situation. I could not be happier with how the work was completed, hopefully we feel
