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 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.
