What is the best insulation for an attic?
The best attic insulation depends on your climate, budget, and existing setup. In Colorado, blown-in cellulose and fiberglass are popular for their cost-effectiveness and R-value. Spray foam offers superior air-sealing but at higher cost. We recommend R-38 to R-60 for attics depending on your home's needs.
How much does attic insulation cost?
Attic insulation costs typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on attic size, existing insulation, and material choice. We provide free estimates after inspecting your home. Blown-in insulation is generally less expensive than spray foam.
Will insulation reduce my energy bills?
Yes, proper insulation can reduce energy bills by 15-30%. Attic insulation is particularly effective since heat rises. Combined with air sealing, you may see even greater savings. Most customers recoup their investment in 3-7 years through lower utility costs.
What is the R-value and why does it matter?
R-value measures insulation resistance to heat flow. Higher R-values mean better insulation. Colorado building code typically requires R-38 to R-60 for attics, R-13 to R-21 for walls, depending on the area. We help determine the right R-value for your specific needs.
Can I install insulation myself?
While some DIY insulation is possible, professional installation ensures proper coverage, air sealing, and safety. Our experts can spot issues like moisture problems, air leaks, and existing hazards that DIYers might miss.
How long does insulation last?
Quality insulation typically lasts 80+ years if properly installed and maintained. However, it can settle, become damaged by moisture, or be compressed over time. We inspect your existing insulation to determine if replacement is needed.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the Denver metro area including Denver, Lakewood, Aurora, Littleton, Arvada, and surrounding communities. Contact us for a free estimate in your area.
Is spray foam insulation worth the cost?
Spray foam has excellent air-sealing properties and high R-values. The higher upfront cost is often justified by superior energy savings, moisture control, and durability. It's ideal for attics, crawl spaces, and new construction.
How do I know if I need more insulation?
Signs you need more insulation include: uneven room temperatures, high energy bills, cold spots, and ice dams in winter. We offer free inspections with thermal imaging to assess your insulation needs.
Do you remove old insulation?
Yes, we provide professional insulation removal services. This is important if your existing insulation is damaged, contaminated, settled, or contains hazardous materials. We dispose of old insulation properly and prepare your space for new installation.
