Attic Insulation & Weatherproofing
Stop letting your hard-earned money escape through your roof. Professional insulation upgrades drastically lower your utility bills and keep your home comfortable year-round.
The Hidden Cost of Under-Insulated Homes
Most homes built before the year 2000 are severely under-insulated by modern standards. In the extreme temperatures of Illinois, a poorly insulated attic allows your expensive winter heat to rise right out of your home. In the summer, the blazing sun turns your attic into an oven, pushing that heat down into your living spaces and forcing your air conditioner into overdrive.
Upgrading your attic insulation is one of the very few home improvements that actually pays for itself. By bringing your insulation up to modern R-value standards, you can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 30 percent while eliminating those frustrating hot and cold spots throughout your house.
Our Insulation Process
Thorough Inspection & Air Sealing
Adding insulation over existing drafts is like wearing a thick sweater on a windy day: it helps, but the cold still gets through. Before we add a single ounce of insulation, we find and seal the hidden bypasses, gaps around light fixtures, and plumbing stacks where conditioned air escapes into your attic.
Baffle Installation
Your roof needs to breathe to prevent moisture buildup and mold. We install proper ventilation baffles along your soffits to ensure fresh air can flow smoothly through your attic, keeping the wood framing healthy while maximizing the efficiency of your new insulation.
Premium Blown-In Insulation
We use high-quality blown-in fiberglass or cellulose insulation. Blown-in material is superior to standard fiberglass batts because it settles into every tiny crevice, creating a seamless, uniform thermal blanket across your entire attic floor. We blow the insulation to the exact depth required to achieve maximum energy efficiency for the Midwest climate.
Total Weatherproofing
Beyond the attic, we offer comprehensive weatherproofing services. We install heavy-duty storm doors to protect your primary entryways and add premium weatherstripping to exterior doors. Small drafts add up quickly; by meticulously sealing your home, we lock in your comfort and shut out the extreme weather.
