IS YOUR ATTIC OR LOFT PROPERLY INSULATED?
Improved Energy Efficiency
As your furnace heats your home, the heated air naturally rises and will escape through your walls if there isn't sufficient insulation. Thick, tightly compacted cellulose features a high "R" value to keep heat from escaping in the winter, and entering the home in warmer months.
Prolongs HVAC Lifespan
With less heated/cooled air escaping, means less stress on your HVAC system. Reducing the workload on your furnace and AC will without a doubt extend the life your HVAC appliances.
Roof and Gutter Protection
Attic insulation plays a huge role in the integrity and lifespan of a your roof. By minimizing temperature fluctuations in the attic space, attic insulation prevents against expansion/contraction of roofing materials, protecting your roofing and gutters from moisture damage and ice dams.

How is cellulose attic insulation installed?
We first prepare the attic space by removing existing material and sealing all cracks and gaps to create an air tight seal. We then use a powerful blower to apply an even, thick layer of cellulose across the entire surface of your attic.
How long does it take to replace my attic insulation?
We can normally complete a blown-in attic insulation job in 1 day, but if we are removing a large amount of existing material from the attic, it may take up to 2 days.
What is cellulose made of?
Cellulose insulation material is made of recycled newspaper and cardboard, grounded up into fine particles. This material, compared to other insulation types, is very eco-friendly as well.
How thick is the cellulose material applied?
In Michigan, blown-in attic is applied at a thickness of 10 to 14 inches on average to achieve a recommended R-value of 38. In some cases where a higher R-value is required, we install cellulose in a thicker layer.
