About the service
If insulation from the time of house construction is still lying in the attic, it has likely settled, become contaminated with rodent droppings, dust or mold, and no longer performs as it should. I offer a complete service: removal of old insulation and installation of new. Using an industrial insulation vacuum, I remove all old material, cover the ceiling from below with film to prevent dust and fibers from entering living rooms, and haul away the debris for disposal. After the attic floor and space between beams are cleaned, I check for gaps, air leaks, and passages from recessed lights or ducts — these must be sealed before laying new material, otherwise even new insulation won't deliver the expected effect.
For blowing, I use cellulose or fiberglass insulation — I bring the layer to the required R-value using a calibrated blowing machine, so coverage is uniform across the entire attic rather than piled up by the hatch. I set depth marker strips at regular intervals so you can see and verify the final layer thickness yourself. I insulate around soffit vents, lights rated for insulation contact, and the attic hatch — but never cover them from above.
Let me clarify the scope of service to avoid confusion. This is not garage insulation — a garage is a separate structure with its own walls and ceiling, I list that work separately. This is not installation of soffit vents or ridge vents — those elements provide passive air intake and exhaust through the attic; insulation installation doesn't replace or require them, though I will always note if old insulation was blocking existing vents. And this is not installation of a powerful whole-house attic fan — that involves electrical and mechanical work, a completely different task. If you need one of these three services — ask separately, but this offer concerns only attic insulation material itself: removal and blowing.
I work carefully, protect floors and stairs on the way up, and vacuum the hatch and surrounding area at the end. Before starting, I'll explain R-value numbers before and after and help you choose between cellulose and fiberglass considering climate and budget.
