Attic Insulation Projects
Real attic insulation and air sealing projects from homes across Westchester County, the Lower Hudson Valley, and northern New Jersey. Every project below is a house we actually worked in — what we found in the attic, what we did about it, and what changed. No stock photos.
What an Attic Insulation Project Actually Involves
Most attics we open up have the same three problems: not enough insulation, no air sealing at all, and a thermal boundary that stops in the wrong place. Adding insulation on its own rarely fixes that, because insulation slows heat transfer — it does not stop air from moving through the assembly.
So our attic projects follow the same order every time:
- Home energy assessment. We evaluate the attic, the building envelope, the heating system, and the water heater before quoting anything — including finding issues like knob-and-tube wiring that have to be addressed before insulation goes in.
- Blower door testing. A blower door test measures how much air moves through the envelope, so improvements are based on a number instead of a guess.
- Air sealing. Top plates, wiring and plumbing penetrations, the chimney chase, recessed lights, and the attic hatch all get sealed — see attic air sealing.
- Insulation to depth. Usually blown cellulose insulation, which flows into the irregular framing bays of an older home and settles as a continuous blanket with no seams.
Why Homeowners Call Us
Bedrooms that never warm up in January. A second floor that is unusable in August. Heating and cooling equipment that runs constantly. Ice dams. Drafts you cannot locate. These are envelope problems, and the attic is almost always the largest single contributor.
