We had the good fortune of connecting with Abraham Torres and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Abraham, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I am an immigrant from Mexico, I came to the United States when I was 4 years old. In my culture, working hard is engraved into you from a young age. My father is a construction worker so it brought me into the line of business. I worked for insulation companies for 5 years following high school. Originally I wanted to attend music school. It was made difficult as I struggled to get a loan for school. In 2020 I realized no matter what laborious job I chose the pay was never sufficient so I decided to take the leap and start my own business. Now I work tirelessly and get paid less. Hahaha. But it’s so worth it, one day it’ll pay off.

What should our readers know about your business?
We’re a small insulation service company. We aim to improve thermo efficiency in new homes and remodels and strive for top notch air quality in your home by removing toxins, debris, and other pollutants from attics and crawl spaces. We strive to provide the best service to customers regardless of contractors or homeowners and we work in a speedy manner. I am most proud to be living the American Dream, starting my own business and going after it. It was not easy and I’m challenged every day but you just have to keep pushing. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that it is VERY difficult doing business with family.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Top Golf
Buffalo Wild Wings
