Tell me about a time you made a mistake on a job and how you fixed it.

What would you do

How would you explain to a homeowner in Appleton how TAP insulation helps with heating bills and pests?

What they are checking: Whether they can describe the thermal and pest benefits clearly enough to answer customer questions on site.

About the work

Tell me about your experience installing insulation. What kinds have you worked with?

Walk me through how you'd set up a home for an attic insulation job so you don't make a mess of the living space.

What safety gear do you wear in an attic, and why each piece?

What they are checking: Whether they take dust, heat, falls through ceilings and respiratory risks seriously instead of skipping gear.

How do you know you've installed insulation to the right depth and coverage?

What they are checking: Whether they check their own quality with depth markers and even coverage instead of guessing.
