attic insulation is one of the easiest places to add insulation to your home. It can save you money on energy bills and make your home more comfortable. Combined with attic air sealing, it can also help to alleviate the formation of dangerous ice dams in winter.
Insulation can be made of many different materials. The most common is fiberglass, which comes in rolls or “batts” that fit into standard wall stud and floor joints and can be cut to size where wires or pipes go through walls or floors. Another popular option is cellulose, which is made from recycled paper and has an R-value of 3.2 to 3.7 per inch. It has the added benefit of soundproofing, which can be very helpful in homes near busy roads or construction areas.
Why Hire a Professional Insulation Contractor for Your Attic?
Some installers offer blown-in cellulose and foam insulation, which is mixed and sprayed in place with special equipment. The process varies by product and installation method, and professionals must follow manufacturer’s instructions for best results.
Licensed contractors must comply with local and state building codes when installing insulation. They may also be required to carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. If a contractor lacks these requirements, you should look elsewhere for your insulation project.
Before the work starts, ask the contractor about their experience. They should be able to provide references from previous customers and describe the results of their work. They should also be able to answer any questions you might have about the installation process.
