Expert Attic Insulation Services in Houston

Houston's high heat and humidity make attic insulation critical. It acts as a thermal barrier, keeping the intense attic heat from penetrating your living spaces, which significantly reduces your air conditioning workload and monthly energy costs.

Key signs include rising energy bills, uneven room temperatures, or if you can see your ceiling joists (which means you have less than 10-14 inches of insulation). Also look for signs of pests or a "dusty" smell in the home.

Houston is in Climate Zone 2. The Department of Energy recommends an R-value between R-30 and R-60. Most modern energy-efficient homes in our area aim for at least R-49 for optimal performance.

Blown-in fiberglass and cellulose are popular because they create a seamless blanket. Spray foam is also an excellent option for creating an airtight seal, though it typically involves a higher initial investment.

Costs vary based on attic size and the material chosen (fiberglass vs. spray foam). On average, most Houston homeowners spend between $1,500 and $2,500 for a professional upgrade that includes air sealing.

Removal is mandatory if the old insulation is damp, moldy, or contaminated by rodents. It's also recommended if you're upgrading to spray foam or if the current material is excessively dusty and affecting your air quality.

We use high-powered, industrial-strength HEPA vacuums located outside your home. Large hoses are run into the attic to safely extract all material directly into sealed collection bags, ensuring no dust enters your home.

Yes, if the existing insulation is dry and free of pest contamination, adding "topping" insulation is a cost-effective way to increase your home's R-value and energy efficiency.

The process starts with air sealing (closing gaps around light fixtures and vents). Next, we install baffles to ensure proper ventilation, followed by blowing in the insulation to the desired depth and R-value.

While some homeowners DIY with batt insulation, professional installation ensures proper R-value depth, even coverage, and essential air sealing—all of which are difficult to achieve without professional-grade equipment.

Rodents can flatten insulation (reducing its R-value) and contaminate it with waste, which poses health risks and creates foul odors. If pests are discovered, full removal and decontamination are necessary.

By creating a thermal barrier and sealing air leaks, insulation prevents moist, humid attic air from seeping into your home, which helps your HVAC system maintain a comfortable humidity level indoors.

Many Houston homeowners see a reduction of 15% to 25% on their cooling and heating costs after upgrading their attic insulation to modern standards and sealing air leaks.

We recommend a quick visual inspection once a year, or whenever you notice a sudden peak in energy bills or temperature fluctuations in different rooms of your home.

In addition to lower bills, proper insulation provides better soundproofing from outside noise, improved indoor air quality, and reduced strain on your HVAC system, potentially extending its lifespan.
