Overview

Blown-In Insulation in Central Texas

Most attics we inspect around La Grange have somewhere between 4 and 8 inches of old, settled insulation. That’s roughly R-11 to R-19, well short of the R-49 to R-60 the Department of Energy recommends for our climate zone. Blown-in insulation is the quickest fix.

We blow loose-fill fiberglass or cellulose evenly across the attic floor, around joists, wiring and can lights, to a measured depth. Most attics are finished in a single visit, and in most cases we can blow right over what’s already there.

Why choose it

Benefits of blown-in / loose-fill.

Fills around obstacles

Loose fill flows around wiring, joists and fixtures where batts leave gaps.

Most attics done in a day

Blown-in is fast, so there's very little disruption to your household.

Strong value per dollar

The lowest cost per R-value of anything we install for existing attics.

Tops up what you have

Usually no tear-out needed. We add depth on top of existing dry, clean insulation.

FAQ

Blown-In / Loose-Fill questions.

Have a different question? Call (979) 242-3976.

How deep should my attic insulation be?

For R-49, roughly 17 to 20 inches of blown fiberglass or 13 to 15 inches of cellulose. We’ll measure what you have and tell you exactly how much to add.

Do you have to remove my old insulation first?

Usually not. If it’s dry and clean, we blow new insulation right on top. We only recommend removal if it’s wet, moldy or contaminated by rodents.

How long does a blown-in job take?

Most homes are finished in a few hours to one day, depending on attic size and access.

Will blown-in insulation settle?

All loose fill settles slightly over time. We install to the settled depth needed, so you still have your target R-value years from now.
