Minnesota Roots, Decades of Expertise
Expert Insulation was founded in Southern Minnesota in 1998, starting with a focus on blown-in fiberglass attic insulation. As demand grew, so did our capabilities—expanding into batt insulation for sidewalls and beyond. In 2001, we proudly opened our Brainerd location to better serve the growing needs of Central and Northern Minnesota. Over the years, we’ve added equipment, skilled team members, and a broader range of services to meet the evolving needs of residential, commercial, and agricultural clients. Today, Expert Insulation Brainerd is a trusted name in insulation, known for quality work and community commitment.

The Expert Insulation Difference – Building Science Behind Everything We Do.
Building science is the study of how a home works as a system. It looks at how heat, air, and moisture move through a building, and how insulation, ventilation, and materials all interact to keep your home comfortable, energy-efficient, and durable.
When it comes to insulation, building science helps us understand:
By applying building science principles, we don’t just add insulation, we make sure it’s installed in the right places, in the right way, to improve your home’s performance and protect your investment.
