Our Insulation Services

Insulation Services & Benefits

We offer the following services for commercial and residential properties, whether they are undergoing new construction or a remodel.

Attic Insulation (Loose-Fill Blown Insulation)
Our attic insulation consists of loose-fill blown insulation installed on the attic floor, creating a thick, continuous thermal blanket over the ceiling plane. This method fills gaps and irregular spaces better than batts, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Proper attic insulation is one of the most cost-effective upgrades, improving comfort, lowering energy bills, and helping protect against ice dams and moisture issues.

Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is applied as a liquid that expands and hardens, sealing cracks, penetrations, and framing joints. It provides both insulation and air sealing in one step, greatly reducing drafts and uncontrolled air leakage. Spray foam improves energy efficiency, moisture control, and overall comfort, especially in high-performance wall, roof, and rim joist applications.

Batt Insulation
Batt insulation is pre-cut fiberglass insulation installed in walls, floors, and ceiling cavities. When properly fitted, it provides reliable thermal performance and excellent sound absorption. Batt insulation remains a practical and cost-effective solution for many residential and multi-family applications.

Radiant Barrier
Radiant barriers are installed in attics to reflect radiant heat away from the living space rather than absorbing it. This reduces attic temperatures during hot months and improves cooling efficiency. Radiant barriers are most effective when combined with traditional attic insulation systems.

Vapor Barrier – Crawl Space
Crawl space vapor barriers are installed over the ground and foundation surfaces to block moisture from entering the home. This helps prevent mold, wood rot, and insulation degradation while improving indoor air quality and energy efficiency. Vapor barriers are essential for maintaining a healthy crawl space environment.

BIBS System (Blown-In Blanket System)
The BIBS system uses fabric netting installed over wall cavities, which are then dense-packed with blown insulation. This creates a uniform, void-free insulation layer that outperforms traditional batts. The result is improved thermal efficiency, reduced air movement within walls, and enhanced sound control.

Hybrid Insulation System
Our Hybrid Wall Insulation System combines spray foam and blown-in insulation to maximize performance and value. The system includes 1.5-2 inch of closed-cell spray foam (approximately R10-R14) applied directly to the exterior sheathing, followed by 3½ inches of netted and blown-in insulation filling the remainder of the wall cavity. This approach provides excellent air sealing, moisture control, and high overall R-value while remaining more cost-effective than full spray foam walls. The hybrid system significantly improves comfort, reduces drafts, and delivers long-term energy savings.

Drill and Fill Insulation
Drill and fill insulation is used in existing homes where walls are already finished. Small access holes are drilled, and insulation is blown into the wall cavities to improve thermal performance. This method increases comfort, reduces energy loss, and upgrades older homes with minimal disruption.

Sound Insulation
Sound insulation is installed in interior walls and floor assemblies to reduce noise transfer between rooms and units. By absorbing sound vibrations, it creates quieter, more comfortable living spaces—ideal for multi-family buildings, bedrooms, offices, and mechanical rooms.

Attic Insulation Removal
Attic insulation removal consists of the mechanical vacuum removal of existing loose-fill or batt insulation from the attic floor. This service is performed to prepare the attic for new insulation installation, air sealing, moisture mitigation, remediation work, and rodent infestations.All removed material is safely contained and disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Removal is recommended when:

  • Insulation is damaged, contaminated, or poorly installed
  • Existing insulation is uneven or insufficient
  • Preparing for upgraded attic insulation levels
  • Moisture, rodent, or odor issues are present
  • Pest infestation (such as mice or squirrels) resulting in insulation contamination from droppings or nesting material
  • Older cellulose insulation that has broken down over time, contributing to dust and poor indoor air quality
