Attic Insulation

 

Better Insulation Conserves Energy and Saves You Money

Improving the insulation in your attic will increase the R-value, which measures how well insulation resists heat. We exceed recommended R-values and install at least an R-49 in our customers' attics. This will make your home more efficient, keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer during winter months, while saving you money on energy costs. Energy Star estimates that the average homeowner can save up to 20% annually in heating and cooling costs by addressing air leaks in their home.

Whether you'd prefer fiberglass or spray foam, our insulation systems will significantly increase your R-Value, saving you more over time, hence recouping the cost quicker. We are happy to discuss your options with you during your free consultation, including:

Fiberglass: Fiberglass attic insulation can be delivered via batts and rolls, or blown-in. It’s the most affordable option, easy to install, and designed with attics in mind. Blown-in fiberglass may be slightly harder to install but is better at filling awkward spaces and is the more environmentally friendly option. It is a great option for cold and dry climates, new construction homes, and DIY projects, though may settle over time so will need to be updated occasionally.

Cellulose Insulation: Cellulose loose-fill insulation is similarly popular to fiberglass, and may be more effective at complete air sealing for attics with more irregular spaces and gaps to fill. We might recommend cellulose for unique older homes with complex attic layouts, or in areas where there are more extreme temperature swings throughout the year.

Mineral wool: Mineral wool insulation is a step up from cellulose and fiberglass in price point, but has a better expected durability as well as fire resistance. It resists “settling” better than fiberglass so may offer its full benefits longer, and is also a great sound-proofing material which may be ideal for multi-story homes where sound travels.

Spray foam: Spray foam insulation may provide the best overall air sealing for attics, especially those with hard-to-reach areas and obstacles to work around, but at a premium price point compared to other options. It also offers excellent moisture resistance which helps protect your home especially in certain climates with high humidity or excessive rainfall.

We Partner with Owens Corning to Deliver Top-Quality Insulation

We’re pleased to offer the Owens Corning AttiCat Expanding Blown-in Attic Insulation System. This increasingly popular method is the perfect way to improve the R value in your attic by blowing in more insulation on top of existing insulation without having to deal with the hassle and danger of removing it.

Owens Corning is an Energy Star Partner and their High Performance Fiberizing Technology offers the higher R-value per inch available on the market today, which means you use less material and spend less money to achieve your optimal insulating performance.

 

 

Prevent Ice Dams Before They Happen

We install windblock barriers and proper vents to ensure air flow from eave vents to prevent ice dam damage and other moisture damage. We also take into account all of the contours of your home, installing air sealing around protrusions for a better fit without air leakage. When heat escaping from attics causes ice dams – from a combination of poor insulation and ventilation – it can prevent proper drainage of snow and ice. 

Better attic care will help assist the optimal flow of heat energy out of your house and prevent these ice forms from forming.

Attic Insulation the Hoffman Weber Way

Our team of insulation experts have refined the Hoffman Weber approach to perfect attic insulation over the years. We hold ourselves to the highest standards among attic insulation companies, and are diligent in doing every step in our process to code, with the utmost attention to detail.

With every single insulation project, we do not rest until attics are updated and secured with precision, and we can ensure the most energy efficient and safe homes that are more comfortable and protected against the elements than ever before.


FAQs About Attic Insulation

How Much Does Attic Insulation Cost?

Attic insulation projects vary in cost based on the project size, material, and process – whether loose-fill or blown-in attic insulation. 

We will provide estimates that include the per-square-foot material cost along with the per-square-foot labor cost that takes into account home layout and accessibility, as well as any old insulation removal and post-work cleanup. Ballpark pricing for different material used is follows:

  • Fiberglass: $0.30 to $1.30 per sq. foot
  • Mineral wool: $0.30 to $1.80 per sq. foot
  • Cellulose: $1.20 to $2.50 per sq. foot
  • Spray foam: $1.00 to $4.50 per sq. foot

What Does Hoffman Weber Look for When Quoting Attic Insulation?

Our team will follow strict inspection guidelines during your attic insulation evaluation to ensure your home is up to code and if it is indeed time to upgrade your attic insulation, as well as which materials would serve your home best. We use infrared scanners to assess insulation gaps and air leaks, and examine your roof for ice dams or any areas where warm air might be escaping. At the same time, we will inspect your home’s interior for any water leaks, dust collection, or improper air flow that may indicate the need for new insulation work. 

What Happens if Hoffman Weber Finds Mice in My Attic?

If we discover any unwanted visitors in the form of mice or other pests, we will require that you work with pest control to safely remove nests and other issues before we move forward with new insulation. This proper removal of pests will be necessary for protecting your home and also preserving the integrity of new insulation. 

We can recommend pest control services we trust in the area to help you in the process.

Does Attic Insulation Help in Summer Conditions?

Yes! While attic insulation is most well-known for its warming qualities during cold months, it can also play a significant role in maintaining your home’s temperature in the heat by helping trap cool air in the home and prevent warm air from seeping in. This can also help your HVAC run smoothly and not get overworked during hotter weather, which improves energy consumption and saves money on your energy bills.
