    Default Portland, OR cellulose installer?

    Portland (the left Portland, that is!) guys --

    Any of you have a good insulation contractor who installs cellulose? I've never had cellulose installed and am considering it for my upcoming project.

    Sorry to be geographically-specific. I know if I was looking for guys in the other Portland, I'd have plenty of responses...

    Thanks.

    Jeff,

    I have used Gale Contractor Services in the past. I think they also are under Masco contractor services.

    Be careful, that stuff absorbs moisture like crazy, I've seen many disasters with it. This from the building inspectors' forum.

    Actually, I've used Gale up here, and I know they do have many branches in Washington.
