Sunlight Contractors

After our home was destroyed in 2021 to Hurricane Ida and having to completely rebuild, I dealt with many sub-contractors during that process. Fast forward to 2023, we experienced one of the hottest summers ever in south Louisiana. My two brand new AC units simply couldn't compete with the heat and lack of airflow in my attic. I decided to have our attic spray foamed but, with the industry being unlicensed in the state of Louisiana, I came across countless companies that simply didn't have the credentials to back them up. Until a friend suggested a larger company, Sunlight Contractors. Well, they may be a big company but they sure don't make you feel like it. The owner, Mr. Ira, called me back personally and gave me a very detailed run-down of the process and how it would all work. His communication was thorough, clear, and accurate. They did exactly what they said they were going to do and did so exactly when they said they were going to do it. Even in 100+ degree heat, they came in and removed all of my old insulation, bagged it up and hauled it away, sprayed my attic and added a level of comfort for my family that we had yet to experience since living in our home for the last 9 years. His crews were professional, clean, and I barely knew they were even there. My electric bill, previously $600 a month, was cut in half and I'll pay for my foam investment in a couple of years.
Of all the contractors we used during our rebuild, there wasn't one in the same sphere as Mr. Ida and his team. If you're considering foam and are unsure, give them a call. I can guarantee that you won't regret that decision.

Day 1- George and a crew of 8+ people showed up to attack the attic. Within 2 hours 30 years of junk and old mold insulation was gone. They set up a plastic path through the house that saved the floors and walls from dirt or damage. The crew was very helpful in letting me set aside things of value while they cleared the attic.
Concurrently, filtered ventilation fans have been running the whole time to keep dust at a minimum. There is also a young lady going room to room and treating all surfaces for mold.
Once the attic is cleaned it will be sprayed for mold as will the AC system. A dehumidifier and UV system will be installed and then to attic sealed with open cell spray foam. The house will be tested for 'tightness' before and after foam application.
So far, Ira and his crew have been very responsive and easy to work with. This job should take a total of two days and I will update accordingly.

Update - dehumidifier installed and UV system in operation. crew is extremely professional and always clean up after themselves. The dehumidifier uncovered a problem pipe and this was dealt with by Ira's crew promptly. Plumber was out within the hour, problem identified, repaired and drywall repair started. I am very impressed with this team.

Last day - Insulation team arrived at 0800 and set up equipment. They performed a pressure test on house measuring air coming into house via attic and other gaps. Total time to spray was about 4 hours. This is impressive given all the tight spaces that had to be reached. They ventilated the house to help remove odors and performed another leak test. Sunlight contractors sent a cleanup crew that spent 4 hours scraping up residual foam on the deck of attic. Really above and beyond! My parents were back in the house by 1600 with no odor to speak of. In a few days Ira will have someone come out and do an infrared survey looking for problem spots.
I highly recommend Sunlight Contractors for all your insulation and mold removal needs. Ira and his team do great work and are excellent at communicating what is needed and the steps to make it happen.

Sunlight Contractors is amazing! I had some concerns that I was developing a mold issue in my attic. Ira was quick to respond to my call and Clayton came out the same day to assess and provide a quote. Clayton was incredibly honest and kind. Turns out not mold! While doing his assessment Clayton helped educate me on potential insulation issues that I have. He then took measurements and will be providing a quote for new insulation if I want to pursue that service. The whole visit took about 10 minutes. I am greatly appreciative of the company's quick response and honesty. Highly recommend!

I am very pleased with sunlight contractors on New Orleans La. On Poydras street site. They were on time with everything, it was so much team work with the workers, and I do thank you Mr. Ira Bosh for accepting and doing such a great job in my home. I recommend this group to anyone.

I recommend Sunlight Contractors with all of my heart. I bought an old house with lots of problems--foundation issues, mold issues, moisture problems, wood rot, plumbing problems, damaged siding, just to mention a few things. I have a tenant renting one unit of the property as well as a tight budget that I couldn't extend beyond, both of which made me very nervous. I'd never hired a general contractor before, but I lucked out! I'm so glad I entrusted my renovation to Sunlight Contractors! They have been awesome from the start. Ira showed up with an entire crew to look at everything that needed addressing, provided a detailed estimate and timetable within days, and his crew started work within 2 weeks. They were solely dedicated to my project and weren't leaving to do other jobs, so the work has gone amazingly fast. As happens when you buy a 150-year-old house, more issues were uncovered as work progressed; on the up side, some of the projects were proving less expensive than anticipated. Ira worked hard to help me not go over-budget while also doing so many little extra things I didn't expect, like fixing some porch steps and a hand railing. The crew has been a pleasure to work with, and Ira has been transparent with me and communicative with my tenant the whole way through. This is a great, trustworthy team of people who made a difficult process feel easy. I'd hire them again in an instant.

Such a great group of people! Everyone I talked to worked hard to make this very painful process as painless as possible. They responded to my initial request very quickly, were at my house the next day (and on time!!) and walked me through the inspection and follow up. Plus he fixed my issue on the spot! A really great crew to work with. I don't think you can go wrong with Sunlight.

Update: They just left having replaced my roof in ONE DAY. A really professional crew - courteous, hard working. They arrived, did the work, and cleaned up perfectly. The price was right, the work was done as promised and I'm super pleased.

If I had the option for 10 stars I would give it to them. They have truly been a great asset to our project renovation. Ira and his team showed up ON TIME confirmed the day before and were extremely professional. They have guided us openly and honestly since day 1. In this business this is a hard trait to come by. I will always refer and use them for future projects

A great experience and great value. I rarely do reviews but wanted to for this company because of how quick and effective they are at a great value. Highly recommend and will definitely use on future projects.

My husband and I recently purchased a raised home. During the winter we experienced cold floors and high energy bills due to the subfloor not being insulated. We did research and learned spray foam would be the most effective insulation solution. Because it was a big project, we requested quotes from several companies. Sunlight Contractors was way better than any other company we talked to for several reasons. Ira, on the first phone call was very helpful and knowledgeable. Clayton came out and inspected our subfloor the very next day. He discovered very high and problematic moisture levels in our subfloor. I knew this was a serious issue because the previous owners disclosed they had mold removed prior to selling the home. Clayton and Ira explained the process Sunlight Contractors would use to eliminate the moisture, insulate the home, and guarantee we would never have a moisture problem again. No other company was able to make such a promise or provide a method to eliminate moisture, making it a no brainer to choose Sunlight Contractors. Everything was put in writing. When work began, the crew was on time or early every day. By far some of the best service from a contractor we ever received.
After the Job was done, Clayton came by to make sure the job was complete and spray foam was applied to every nook and cranny. The month after the job was completed, we noticed a significant decrease in our utility bills as a result of HVAC not working as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. We recommend Sunlight Contractors for all moisture remediation and spray foam insulation needs.

I reached out to Sunlight Contractors to get some insulation in my attic and under the floors as well as replace my roof. So far I couldn't be happier with the process. They show up on time, and are timely with estimates. They are incredibly responsive and easy to get on the phone. When they came to the house they brought their experts with them and they clearly know their stuff. I've been most impressed however with their integrity. I wanted some work done that would have resulted in serious issues ~5years down the road which they could have just done it and made more money, but instead they told me why I shouldn't do what I wanted to and what the result would be if I did. I am very much forward to seeing their final work.
