Our Process
How We Work: From First Call to Final Inspection
We keep the process simple and transparent. Here is exactly what to expect when you work with Graner Home Shield Solutions.
Step 1: You Reach Out
Call us at (910) 690-9040, email granerhomeshieldsolutions@gmail.com, or fill out the estimate form on our contact page. There is no commitment at this stage. We will get back to you as soon as possible to schedule a visit.
Step 2: Free On-Site Assessment
A member of the Graner team comes out to your home for a full look at the space in question. We check moisture levels, inspect the current condition, identify the source of any problem, and assess what solutions are appropriate. You get a clear picture of what is going on under your home.
Step 3: Honest Estimate
We put together a written estimate that explains what we recommend and why. No pressure, no inflated scopes. If there is a range of options that could solve your problem, we will walk you through them so you can make the right call for your budget and your home.
Step 4: Scheduled Installation
Once you decide to move forward, we schedule the job at a time that works for you. We show up when we say we will, work cleanly, and keep you informed if anything unexpected comes up during the job.
Step 5: Walkthrough and Handoff
When the work is complete, we walk you through what was done, answer any questions, and make sure you are fully satisfied before we leave. Documentation of the work is provided for your records and for resale purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is crawlspace encapsulation?
Encapsulation seals your crawlspace with a heavy-duty vapor barrier across the floor and walls, closes off the vents, and isolates the space from ground moisture and humid outside air. The result is a clean, dry area under your home that helps protect the structure above it.
How do I know if my crawlspace has a moisture problem?
Common signs include a musty or damp smell, condensation or standing water under the home, soft or sagging floors, higher than normal humidity indoors, and visible mold or wood discoloration on framing. A free inspection is the best way to confirm what is happening.
Does encapsulation really help with humidity and air quality?
Yes. A large share of the air inside a home rises up from the crawlspace, so a damp, open crawlspace pushes moisture and odors into your living space. Sealing it helps lower indoor humidity, reduce musty smells, and support cleaner air upstairs.
Can encapsulation lower my energy bills?
It can help. A sealed, dry crawlspace reduces the humidity your HVAC system has to fight and helps keep floors and rooms above it more comfortable, which can ease the load on your heating and cooling.
How long does a crawlspace project take?
Most crawlspace projects are completed in a few days, though the exact timeline depends on the size of the space, the amount of moisture present, and the scope of work. We give you a clear timeline with your estimate.
Do you offer free estimates and what areas do you serve?
Yes, estimates are free. We serve homeowners across southeastern North Carolina. Call or email us and we will schedule a visit to assess your crawlspace or attic.
