WHO WE ARE
Starting in 1971, Lyle Dudgeon founded Central Ohio Insulation in Newark, Ohio as a one-man, one-truck operation. In 1975, his brother, Brent, joined the business. Five years later, having moved to Utica, Brent incorporated North Central Insulation. A year after that, Brent moved the headquarters to Bellville, Ohio and he and his brother, Lyle, were reunited in business.
In 1998, the business began to expand, adding a location in Wooster, followed by a new building in Newark in 2001, and a showroom location in Lewis Center in 2004.
Expanding beyond Ohio, NCI added Latrobe, Pennsylvania in 2017, Eminence, Kentucky in 2018; in 2019, the company branch moved from Eminence to Shelbyville. In 2024, they added a location in Washington Courthouse, Ohio and in 2025 they acquired Kousma Insulation, located in Willard, Ohio.
Serving customers for over 50 years, NCI continues to pride itself on family values, customer service, and delivering consistent results.
