At ABS Insulating we value not only our customers, but also our employees. We are a family and when one member of our family rejoices, we rejoice with them. Currently, we are celebrating with Alfred Ford, one of our most talented installers, for being chosen as the 2022 ExCEEd On the Job Installer of the Year by the global insulation leader Owens Corning®. Alfred was presented with his award recently at the Owens Corning® Certified Energy Expert® (CEE) National Meeting and the ExCEEd On the Job Awards at the Omni Hilton Head Ocean Front Resort in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
This national award is a huge honor for Alfred, ABS Insulating and our customers. “I and the entire ABS team stand and applaud Alfred for this incredible, well deserved honor and his many years of service and dedication to our company and customers. We are honored to have him as a part of the ABS Insulating family,” says Allan Hoppe, ABS Insulating’s owner.
Danny Allen, ABS Insulating’s division manager, concurs. “Alfred has been our company’s go-to person for over 25 years. The builders we work with frequently request Alfred for their projects, given the consistent excellence and timely quality he provides. ABS Insulating would not be the company it is today without Alfred’s dedication and talent.”
Only the very best insulation contractors, such as Alfred, have what it takes to be in the exclusive Owens Corning® Certified Energy Expert® Program and become an Owens Corning® Certified Energy Expert® Professional. Program members are trained, tested and trusted to help make any home or building a better place to be. Each day, they work with builders and homeowners to help make buildings and homes quiet, comfortable and energy smart. As an energy performance consultant, Alfred has been trained to help optimize comfort, noise control and energy efficiency in homes. As an elite insulation contractor, Alfred and his fellow program members are tested to meet the highest standards, delivering advanced solutions based on decades of building science research.
The ExCEEd On the Job Awards recognize insulation professionals who go above and beyond to ensure excellence. Throughout the year, Certified Energy Expert® representatives from across the country nominate employees who excel in the workplace. Owens Corning recognizes regional award winners each quarter and it is from these candidates that the Installer of the Year was selected. As Installer of the Year, Alfred will receive not only an all-expenses-paid trip to the next National Certified Energy Expert® Meeting, but a $1,000 cash prize as well.
For ABS Insulating, this exclusive award reiterates our exceptional industry leadership. Alfred could not be more deserving of this award and we continue to strive to recognize our employees for their hard work and dedication to our customers and our industry. It is our goal to value our family of employees and remain committed to retaining the industry’s top talent.

Our story began on February 18, 1991, when founders Allan Hoppe, the late Bill Pettus, and the late Steve Carter filed as a corporation within North Carolina. Their company name was generated from their first names – Allan, Bill, Steve.
A few years after the business was established, Bill left the company to pursue other opportunities. He eventually returned to the insulation industry to start “Pender and Pettus,” now a TruTeam company. The ABS team suffered a great loss when Steve passed away unexpectedly on March 20, 2009, leaving Allan as the sole owner and forever leaving a void in the fabric of our business.
In 2012, the company opened a second branch, ABS Coastal Insulating, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and is one of the premier insulation providers in South Carolina’s low country. Jeff Hoppe, Allan’s brother, serves as a co-owner, before which he was a sales consultant for ABS Insulating.
Most people think that insulating their attic is unnecessary and a waste of money because no one lives
The ABS Insulating team is proud to be led by Allan Hoppe. In 1991 Allan partnered with two colleagues to start ABS Insulating. Allan is now the sole owner. He oversees two branches in Charlotte and Myrtle Beach.
Keeping your home cool during warm summer months can feel like a full-time job. Adding a radiant barrier to your attic can help reduce summer heat gain and decrease cooling costs. A radiant barrier is an insulation product consisting of material that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it.
