Our Attic Insulation Process

01

Energy Assessment

We measure existing R-value, check for air bypasses, and assess ventilation to develop the right insulation strategy.

02

Air Sealing

Before adding insulation, we seal gaps around penetrations, top plates, and recessed lights that allow conditioned air to escape.

03

Insulation Installation

New insulation is installed to the recommended R-value for your climate zone — R-38 to R-60 for most U.S. attics.

04

Verification

Final R-value is confirmed, ventilation is verified, and all work is documented for rebate and tax credit applications.
