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.

  • Attic assessment and photos
  • Air sealing of accessible gaps and penetrations
  • Baffles installed at the eaves
  • Insulation added to the recommended depth
  • Hatch insulated and weatherstripped

Signs your attic needs more insulation

  • You can easily see the tops of your ceiling joists
  • Some rooms are much hotter or colder than others
  • Heating and cooling bills keep creeping up
  • Ice dams form along your eaves in winter
  • Snow melts off your roof faster than your neighbors'
  • Drafts or dust streaks around ceiling fixtures
  • Insulation looks thin, matted or water-stained

Attic Insulation

Frequently Asked Questions

How much attic insulation do I need?
It depends on your climate zone, but in much of the country current guidance calls for roughly R-38 to R-60 in the attic, which works out to around 12 to 20 inches of most loose-fill products. We will measure what you have and recommend a target for your home.
Can you add insulation over what is already there?
Usually, yes. If existing insulation is dry and in reasonable condition, new insulation can be blown right on top. If it is wet, moldy or contaminated by pests, we recommend removing it first.
How long does an attic insulation project take?
Most attic insulation and air sealing jobs are completed in a single day. Larger attics or projects that include removal of old insulation may take a little longer.
Should I insulate when I replace my roof?
It is a great time to evaluate it. While insulation is installed from inside the attic, coordinating the two lets us make sure ventilation, baffles and insulation all work together with your new roof.
Will insulation help with ice dams?
Yes, along with air sealing and ventilation. Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the roof, which then refreezes at the colder eaves. Keeping the heat in your living space is the key to stopping them.
