Insulation Contractor helps reduce energy bills, keeps homes comfortable, and can improve the resale value of existing houses. It is important to properly insulate the attic and walls of your home. The amount of insulation needed will depend on the area you wish to insulate and the desired R-value, which is determined by a number of factors. For example, in cold climates, the recommended R-value for attics is typically higher than in moderate or warm climate areas.
A common and cost-effective option is fiberglass batt insulation, also known as cellulose or rock wool. It is available in a variety of thicknesses and widths, and can be installed by hand rolling it on the attic floor. It works best for attics that are easily accessible, have standard joist spacing and enough headroom for maneuvering during installation.

Blown-in insulation is another option for attics. It is made from recycled materials such as newspaper and cardboard, and can be applied to existing or new attics. It is installed with a special machine that blows the material in place to the desired depth and density. It is most commonly used in attics, but can be installed in wall cavities as well.
In addition to reducing energy costs, a well-insulated attic can help prevent moisture problems in your home. Moisture in the attic can cause a host of issues, from mildew and mold to structural damage and even poor indoor air quality. Properly insulated attics and proper air sealing can help eliminate the problem.
