Attic INSULATION
Reduce Energy Costs with Attic Insulation
Utility costs have been climbing for years, increasing the expense of heating and cooling your home. Many homeowners are looking for ways to lower their energy bills. If your house was built before 2000, it is likely under-insulated by today’s standards. Attics can account for up to 30% of a home’s total heat loss — the most effective way to reduce that loss is to ensure your attic is properly insulated.

We provide a full range of attic insulation options. Whether you prefer traditional blown-in fiberglass or cellulose, or a modern spray foam installation, we handle it all.
attic insulation Information
BLOWN-IN ATTIC INSULATION
Blown-in insulation is increasingly common for attics. It offers several benefits compared with traditional fiberglass batts or rolls and can be installed quickly and easily in most homes. It’s especially well-suited for older houses because it can be blown into attic spaces without major difficulty. We install two types of blown-in insulation: fiberglass and cellulose.
Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass blown-in insulation is produced by spinning molten glass into fine fibers. Most manufacturers incorporate about 20%–30% recycled glass. It’s also important that attic insulation be installed to a sufficient depth to meet the R-value required by your local building code.Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Blown-in cellulose insulation consists of up to 85% recycled newsprint. The rest is typically a blend of ammonium sulfate and borate, which act as fire retardants and also help resist insects, rodents, and mold. Because the insulation is loose-fill, it conforms to irregular shapes and fits easily into awkward areas like vaulted ceilings.
SPRAY FOAM ATTIC INSULATION
Spray foam is a popular choice for attic insulation because it provides a superior air barrier. We offer Icynene spray foam in both open-cell and closed-cell options. For attic installations, foam can be applied either to the roof deck or the attic floor—both methods are effective. Our knowledgeable sales team will evaluate your project and suggest the most suitable solution for your situation.

COST SAVINGS WITH ATTIC INSULATION
Keeping your home properly insulated is essential. It’s important to know your local energy codes as you determine whether your attic has sufficient insulation. With current federal energy tax credits and utility rebates, now is an ideal time to upgrade your attic insulation and start reducing your monthly energy bills.

Attic INSULATION
FAQs
What is the best Attic insulation?
There are many variables that come into play when selecting the best insulation (budget, efficiency needs, and structural information). While each insulation has it’s own place and strengths, we typically say spray foam insulation is best (if cost prohibits), with fiberglass, and cellulose following closely behind.
How much Attic insulation do I need?
We refer to local municipal code requirements to ensure we are prescribing at least the code requirement – it never hurts to exceed the code requirement. Most of the code requirements within our service area are at an R-38 minimum
Can I add to my existing attic insulation?
You can absolutely add to your existing attic insulation. We recommend keeping the insulation type the same when doing this. For those wanting to change their insulation type, we recommend having us remove the existing insulation and re-insulate completely.
Do you sell Attic Insulation Material?
We do offer free estimates on installed material - in other words, it’s free to see how we can help you.
Do you remove Attic insulation?
From time to time, insulation removal is required due to the insulation being damaged, wet, or moldy. We do offer insulation removal as a service.
Do you insulate Attics in old homes?
We absolutely do! Typically we install additional attic insulation and can even install insulation in the crawlspace as well. In addition to old houses, we also insulate new construction homes as well.
