Blown-In Insulation Services
Complete coverage for maximum efficiency
Blown-in insulation is the most efficient way to add thermal protection to existing attics. Our powerful blowing machines distribute loose-fill material evenly across your attic floor, filling every gap and conforming to irregular shapes that batt insulation simply can't reach.
We offer both cellulose and fiberglass blown-in options. Cellulose is made from 85% recycled materials and provides excellent thermal performance, while fiberglass is naturally moisture and fire resistant. Both can be installed over existing insulation to boost your home's R-value.
Most attic jobs are completed in just 2-4 hours with minimal disruption to your day. Our team uses depth markers to ensure consistent, code-compliant coverage throughout your entire attic space.
Cellulose vs. Fiberglass Blown-In
Cellulose Insulation
- • R-3.5 to R-3.7 per inch
- • Made from 85% recycled paper
- • Treated with borate for fire/pest resistance
- • Denser, better sound dampening
- • More eco-friendly option
- • Excellent for cold climates
Fiberglass Blown-In
- • R-2.5 to R-3.7 per inch
- • Naturally non-combustible
- • Won't absorb moisture
- • Lighter weight
- • Doesn't settle as much over time
- • Inert - no off-gassing
Our Blown-In Installation Process
Attic Assessment
We measure current R-value, check for air leaks, assess ventilation, and identify any issues that need addressing.
Prep & Protection
We install depth markers, protect light fixtures, and ensure proper baffles are in place for soffit ventilation.
Air Sealing (Optional)
For maximum efficiency, we seal air leaks around penetrations, recessed lights, and gaps before insulating.
Insulation Blowing
Using professional blowing equipment, we distribute insulation evenly to achieve target R-value throughout.
Verification & Cleanup
We verify depths at multiple points, document the work, and leave your home clean.
When to Choose Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in insulation is ideal when you want to upgrade your attic without removing existing insulation. It's the most cost-effective way to increase R-value and is perfect for attics with irregular joist spacing, lots of obstacles, or hard-to-reach corners.
If your attic currently has less than R-30 of insulation (about 10 inches of fiberglass), you'll benefit significantly from adding blown-in insulation to reach the recommended R-49 to R-60 for Colorado's climate.
Key Benefits
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does blown-in insulation cost?
Blown-in insulation typically costs $1.00-$1.50 per square foot installed, making it one of the most affordable insulation upgrades. A typical 1,500 sq ft attic costs $1,500-$2,500.
Does blown-in insulation settle over time?
Yes, some settling occurs in the first 1-2 years. We account for this by installing 10-15% extra depth initially. Fiberglass settles less than cellulose.
Can I walk on blown-in insulation?
It's not recommended. Walking compresses the insulation and reduces its R-value. If you need attic storage, we can install insulation around designated walkways or storage platforms.
Will blown-in insulation damage my existing insulation?
No, blown-in insulation can be safely added on top of existing fiberglass batts or older blown-in material, as long as the existing insulation is dry and undamaged.
