Insulation isn’t just another box to check during construction — it’s one of the most critical components in how your home will feel and function for decades. Properly installed insulation:

Reduces heating and cooling loads

Lowers long-term energy bills
Enhances resale value
Reduces sound transmission between rooms and from the outside

Our Preferred Product: Nu-Wool® Premium Wallseal Cellulose

Dense-Pack Application: Wallseal is installed with a damp-spray technique that fully fills wall cavities, eliminating gaps and air pockets that often occur with batt insulation.
Superior Air Sealing: This system creates a tight thermal and air barrier, drastically reducing air infiltration and helping your HVAC system run more efficiently.
High R-Value Performance: With an excellent R-value per inch, Nu-Wool helps your home meet or exceed energy code requirements while maximizing thermal performance.
Eco-Friendly Composition: Made from 86% recycled materials and treated for fire resistance, Nu-Wool is both safe for your home and better for the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a good time to add insulation to my attic?

A good time to add insulation to your attic is when you're experiencing high energy bills, uneven indoor temperatures, or noticing drafts — especially during extreme seasons like summer and winter. It's also ideal to upgrade during home renovations, roof replacements, or if your current insulation is old, damaged, or settling below recommended levels.

How long will it take to have my attic insulation removed and reapplied?

We recommend that our customers expect an attic overhaul to happen between 1-3 days, depending on the size and shape of the attic.

Will cellulose or spray foam make my house too tight?

Cellulose and spray foam insulation, especially when paired with proper air sealing, can significantly reduce air leakage — but they won’t make a home too tight if installed correctly. A well-insulated home still needs controlled ventilation, which can be easily managed with systems like bath fans or energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). In fact, sealing a home properly helps improve comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality — as long as ventilation is part of the plan.
