An INSULATION CONTRACTOR will know how a construction site operates and where they will be working. Set up and execution of work will be based on experience, training and good planning.

Training to become an insulation contractor may involve some of the following steps:

• Years of working with more experienced construction crews and renovators;
• Vocational trades training or Apprenticeship at the college level;
• Specific manufacturer training for installation of insulation products;
• Business education in management, bookkeeping and marketing;
• Volunteer work with home building organizations like Habitat for Humanity.

It's often true that experienced construction or renovation contractors will choose to specialize exclusively in insulation, operating as subcontractors. This type of business decision may allow for a more focused approach to work, without having to be responsible for the entire build. Equally, it may also allow for more jobs of varying size with a good build up of repetitive skills and speed over time.
