Contractor named best insulation installer in America
The judges at the Best Installer in America have named Jorge Perez of Sierra Insulation, of Corona, Calif., the winner at its the second annual contest held at Johns Manville in Denver. The company competed among five contestants from around the country. Johns Manville sponsored the program for InsulateAmerica, a national co-op of independent insulation contractors with more than 180 locations in 45 states. InsulateAmerica contractors were able to compete at regional contests in Kansas, California, New Jersey and Georgia, in an effort to identify the top installers who exemplify quality workmanship, safety and productivity.
The five best insulation installers representing the four regions met at the manufacturer's technical center in October. Contestants were required to insulate the walls, ceiling and crawl space of a wooden structure, complete with various other challenges found on a job site. Each contestant was given a variety of the company's formaldehyde-free fiber glass insulation products to use, including kraft-faced and unfaced insulation in a variety of R-values.
