Read moreSo, an older (60 plus years) house, brick veneer. We had the walls insulated on the advise of a friend who asked us to contact Retro-Spec. Allen was on to it and worked with us through some challenging circumstances (other contractors, weather etc) to get the job done. Although it is a bit early to comment on the value (i.e. energy saved etc) we were impressed with the workmanship and willingness to go the extra mile. We would recommend Allen and his team to anyone. Bob

Read moreMy wife and I had our garage ceiling insulated by retro-spec. We were so pleased with the service that we decided to get our panel lift door and external garage wall insulated as well. We really appreciated the effort Allen went to to secure a good price for the Kool Door product for our panel lift door, as the product now ships from Sydney, not Melbourne. The garage door looks fantastic, and the entire job was completed efficiently and in time for me to get to an important engagement. Communication was excellent and we really appreciated the service. Thanks and much appreciated!

Read moreWe've had Allen from Retro-Spec Insulation perform two insulation jobs for us and both times the results were nothing short of spectacular. In both cases it took the houses from being miserably cold in the winter to being quite pleasant to live in. The value of wall insulation is completely underrated in Tasmania. In places like Queensland where you are trying to stop solar gain, ceiling insulation is important and walls less so, but in Tasmania where where heat loss from the structure during winter the dominant energy user, wall insulation is just as important as having the ceiling insulated. Allen and his team do an amazing job of installing pumped wall insulation using minimally invasive techniques, so you don't have to wait until the next renovation to add insulation to your house.
