The core of every attic plan
Blown-In Premium Fiberglass
Blown across the whole attic floor to an even, measured depth, usually right over the existing insulation. Ducts included.

Measured, not assumed
Having Insulation Isn’t the Same as Having Enough.
Every Valley home has some attic insulation. Very few have it deep enough, even enough, and sealed underneath. The attic floor is the one surface between a 140° attic and every ceiling in the house.
- Depth measured at many points, not one look from the hatch
- Insulation settles over time; decades of heat flatten loose fill, so we map the thin spots
- New Blown-In Premium Fiberglass usually goes right over the old, to an even, measured depth
- Top plates sealed first and vents kept open, so the blanket does its full job

The Depth Gauge
Depth Is Only the First Question. Coverage, Settling and Gaps Are the Rest.

- CeilingWarm to the touch; the thermal image glows
- EveningsHeat keeps coming after sunset
- BillsClimb faster than the weather explains
Six shortfalls we find
- Settled. Decades of heat flatten loose fill.
- Uneven. Deep by the hatch, thin in the far corners.
- Compressed. Stored boxes and decking crush it.
- Disturbed. Past repairs pushed it aside and never put it back.
- Missing. Bare sections over closets, additions and low eaves.
- Open top plates. Air gaps underneath that insulation alone can’t close.
What We Install
Insulation for the Attic, the Walls, the Ducts and the Garage
Each one exists because an assessment found something. Your package uses the ones your home needs.
Which Attic Solution, When
The Attic Is Corrected as a System. The Findings Decide How Much of It Yours Needs.
Several of these you may not need, and we’ll say so.
| If the inspection finds | What we recommend | What it solves |
|---|---|---|
| Open top plates, warm walls, dust | We recommendInsulated Attic Armor™ at every top plate and penetration, hatch and boots sealed | It solvesAttic air into the walls and rooms, the “attic smell”, heat radiating from interior walls |
| Insulation thin, uneven, settled | We recommendBlown-In Premium Fiberglass across the whole attic, over sealed plates and protected ducts | It solvesHot afternoons, warm ceilings, evenings that don’t cool, runtime that grows every summer |
| Hot knee walls; sections nobody can reach | We recommendKnee wall batts strapped in place; Drill & Fill for uninsulated walls and unreachable sections | It solvesThe bare corners and vertical walls a blower can’t cover, glowing on the thermal camera |
| Soffits buried, no exhaust, a hot attic at bedtime | We recommendBaffles and ridge or roof vents; an attic fan over the garage where that attic traps heat | It solvesStored heat after sunset; ducts soaking in hot air into the night |
| Dark roof over unprotected ducts | We recommendRadiant barrier, evaluated case by case after the above | It solvesDownward heat from the deck. Only worth it in some attics; we say which |
The order, and why: seal, protect the ducts, insulate, ventilate. Insulation goes down last so nothing gets disturbed afterward. Depth is set from the assessment’s twelve-point measurement and photographed as it goes in.

Questions
Insulation, Answered
Do you remove the old insulation first?
Usually not. It is common for insulation to settle over time, and in most attics new Blown-In Premium Fiberglass goes right over the old to an even, measured depth. Removal is an option in some circumstances, when the existing material makes it necessary, and we say so during the assessment.
Is topping it off enough on its own?
Not over open top plates, leaking ducts and blocked soffit vents; adding depth there locks those problems in. Seal, protect the ducts, insulate, ventilate.
How deep should it be?
We recommend 14 to 17 inches of even coverage across the whole attic floor, over sealed top plates. Today’s code minimum is 10 to 14 inches; many older Valley homes have 3 to 6.
What about knee walls and the sections nobody can reach?
Knee walls get batts strapped in place so the vertical attic walls stop radiating. Uninsulated walls and unreachable sections are filled by Drill & Fill through small, patched openings.
Will it fix my hot room?
Sometimes on its own, often not. A hot room usually has more than one cause, so the assessment measures the ducts, the returns and the attic over that room first.
How do you know how much to add?
The assessment measures depth at twelve points, images the ceilings and logs the attic temperature, so the plan sets the depth. The Energy Savings and Set-Point Holdfast guarantees are built from those numbers.
