Insulation
A Warmer Winter and a Cooler Summer Start in the Attic
Topping up tired attic insulation and sealing air leaks is one of the most effective upgrades you can make for comfort and energy savings.
Attic Insulation by RemodelPro
Heat always moves toward cold. In winter, it rises out of your living space and escapes through the attic; in summer, the sun-baked attic radiates heat back down into your bedrooms. A thick, even blanket of insulation slows that movement and keeps your home more comfortable with less work from your furnace and air conditioner.
Many homes, especially those built more than a couple of decades ago, have far less insulation than current recommendations. What is there may also have settled, gotten compressed by stored boxes or been disturbed by past work.
We pair insulation with roofing because the two are closely connected. A well-insulated, well-sealed attic helps prevent ice dams, reduces moisture problems and lets your ventilation do its job, all of which help your roof last longer.
Our attic insulation services
Blown-in insulation
Loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass blown evenly across the attic floor, filling gaps around joists and wiring.
Batt insulation
Fiberglass or mineral wool batts for accessible framing, kneewalls and areas where loose-fill is not practical.
Air sealing
We seal gaps around light fixtures, wiring holes, plumbing stacks and chases before adding insulation.
Attic hatch insulation
An insulated, weatherstripped hatch cover closes one of the biggest single heat leaks in many homes.
Baffles at the eaves
Rafter baffles keep insulation from blocking your soffit vents so the attic can still breathe.
Old insulation removal
Damaged, wet or contaminated insulation can be removed and the space cleaned before new material goes in.
Why air sealing comes first
Insulation slows heat moving through materials, but it does very little to stop air moving through gaps. Warm, moist air pushed into the attic through unsealed openings carries a lot of heat with it, and it can condense on the roof deck in cold weather. Sealing those leaks before insulating makes the new insulation far more effective and protects your roof framing.
How we approach an insulation project
We measure the depth and condition of what you have now, look for air leaks and moisture issues, and confirm that ventilation pathways are clear. Then we recommend a target level of insulation suited to your climate and home.
