Project description
Our attic insulation is old, thin in some areas, and completely missing in others, and it is clearly hurting our home's energy efficiency. Every winter our upper floor gets cold no matter how high we set the thermostat, and every summer the same rooms turn into an oven by early afternoon. We have already noticed a steady climb in our monthly heating and cooling bills over the past two years, and a contractor who inspected the roof briefly told us the attic is the most likely culprit.
We are looking for a licensed and insured insulation contractor to assess the current state of our attic, remove any old, damaged, or moisture-affected material if needed, and install new insulation to bring the space up to a proper energy-efficient standard for our climate zone. We are open to recommendations on material type, whether that is blown-in cellulose, fiberglass batts, or spray foam, as long as the approach is cost-effective and appropriate for our roof structure and ventilation. Please also check and, if needed, seal air leaks, gaps around vent pipes, and recessed lighting fixtures, since we suspect drafts are part of the problem.
We would like a written estimate before work begins, a clear timeline, and confirmation that the work will meet local building code requirements. Photos before and after the job would be appreciated so we can see the coverage and quality of the installation.
What we need:
— Full attic inspection and moisture check
— Removal of old or damaged insulation where necessary
— Installation of new insulation to the recommended R-value
— Air sealing around penetrations, vents, and fixtures
— Cleanup of the work area and disposal of old materials
— Written estimate and proof of licensing and insurance
