Women in Construction Week, celebrated March 1–7, recognizes the important role women play across the construction industry. At Quality Insulators and ARI Environmental, we’re proud to take this time to highlight the women on our team whose hard work, skill, and leadership contribute to the success of our projects and our organization every day.
Whether in the field or the office, their dedication and perspectives help move our companies forward and strengthen the industry as it continues to grow and evolve. We sincerely thank the women on our team for their contributions and are grateful to have them as part of the Quality Insulators and ARI Environmental family.
OSHA’s “National Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction” is an annual voluntary event for employers to talk directly to all employees about safety and usually done the first week of May. On Friday, May 2nd, the eve of stand-down week, ARI Environmental and Quality Insulators did just that, bringing in safety professionals Chris Murray and Alex Crabbe from Werner and Rampart Safety respectively, discussing Fall Hazards and reinforcing the importance of Fall Prevention in construction. Falls are still the leading cause of worker deaths, so this dedicated time allowed for discussion on prevention strategies and reinforcement of safety expectations, with the ultimate goal to prevent injuries and save lives.
Safety discussions in general, are held daily at every jobsite, focusing on that day’s events and challenges, and being led in conjunction with site-specific safety and/or by company safety personnel, project managers and foreman. These discussions raise awareness, promote communication and strengthen our safety culture.

Asbestos Removal Inc is now doing business as ARI Environmental. We continue to specialize in asbestos removal for commercial, residential and industrial clients under the same management and owner; however, we adopted a new name to better reflect ALL the services we offer, including our expertise in environmental solutions such as asbestos, lead and mold abatement, light demolition, flooring removal and concrete grinding and universal waste removal.
Along with the new business name, the timing was ideal to update our logo to reflect some important values that have been a part of the way we do business since the company was founded in 1985. John E, our architect intern, was tasked with developing one unified logo. We wanted the logo to reflect Synergy, Simplicity and Similarity. The new logo needed to represent both sister companies, ARI Environmental and Quality Insulators.
Qualities of the ARI Environmental logo redesign:
Synergy between the two companies representing sharing resources and values
Simplicity in design to modernize
Similarity to bring along previous logo attributes for recognition and employee tradition
Old Quality Insulators
Old ARI Environmental
New Logo
We all agree that the new logo exceeded our expectations. ARI Environmental is excited about the next chapter. Operating under our new title and logo, we continue our 40-year tradition of environmental solutions for commercial, residential and industrial clients in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Quality Insulators was one of many contractors from across Wisconsin that were recognized for their exceptional commitment to jobsite safety at this year’s ABC of WI SuperCon Safety Conference. The annual conference, hosted by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Wisconsin, has celebrated hundreds of members for prioritizing safety through the ABC of Wisconsin Chapter Safety Awards Program for more than three decades.
Among the most prestigious honors presented at the event is the Safety Award of Excellence, which recognizes ONE outstanding company in each of three categories: Small Contractor, Mid-Size Contractor, and Large Contractor. To qualify, recipients must maintain incident rates at least 25% better than the industry average for total OSHA recordables and lost workday cases. Additionally, winners must demonstrate a comprehensive safety program and a proven track record of excellence in workplace safety.
This year, Quality Insulators was awarded the Mid-Size Contractor “Safety Award of Excellence” for 2024. Congratulations to our leaders, foreman and crew members who day in and day out put safety first. Accepting the award is our newest crew member and safety manager Reece Glish. Excellent indeed! Call us and count on Quality Insulators and ARI Environmental to protect our biggest assets, your employees and our employees.
Quality Insulators was awarded the ABC Project of Distinction Gold Award for the featured project: Bellin Health Ambulatory Surgery Center.
A very proud moment for Quality Insulators and ARI Environmental- two synergistic sister companies that share resources and values. A testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees! To win the gold award, the project must push the boundaries of construction by demonstrating:
Excellence in safety
Quality
Innovation
Team collaboration
Craftsmanship
Execution
Budget compliance
Handling complex challenges
About the project…
Quality Insulators, Inc. installed over twenty miles of insulation for Bellin Health’s Ambulatory Center within nine months, making it one of the largest projects completed considering cost, manpower and time to completion. The proficiency required when working with two mechanical contractors fundamentally affected QI’s design and timeline. Collaboration with fellow stakeholders was extensive and critical for meeting objectives. The original contract was delivered on budget and on time regardless of additions and adjustments.
Factors contributing to the success were:
scheduling adaptations
workforce flexibility
mitigating equipment delays
technical expertise that went above and beyond expectations
In early 2022, QI implemented our Sustainability Program. Knauf and Johns Manville meet QI’s sustainability material supplier standard by supplying insulation that passes Greenguard Certification requiring results that meet chemical emission standards. Overall project management led to a contract extension for Phase 2.
Piping Insulation
This would not be possible without a commitment to safety resulting in QI having no workplace injuries contributing to a Total Recordable Incident Rate of zero, one of the proudest, yet expected contributing factors to the project success!
