While no two projects are exactly the same, we can almost always provide you with a firm bid based on a few key factors: 1. the square footage of your attic floor (which usually reflects the square footage of the living area beneath it), 2. the approximate existing insulation level you currently have in your attic, and 3. the number of recessed lights in the ceiling and the soffit vents around the perimeter of the attic floor (if any). That's all it takes!

Our bread and butter, our raison d'etre... We focus on enhancing attic efficiency through effective insulation solutions. We offer two primary options: 1. Premium expanding fiberglass, sourced from various manufacturers and containing a recycled glass component. This option has minimal odor and almost no dust, making it ideal for many jobs. 2. GreenFiber's Low Dust cellulose insulation, an eco-friendly insulation product made from 85% recycled paper fiber, which significantly reduces landfill waste. Each bag holds the equivalent of about 46 Sunday newspapers. This insulation is processed by electrically-driven mills that use relatively little energy, allowing for a decrease in energy consumption. Additionally, these mills can be shut down completely at the end of the production day, efficiently adjusting manufacturing to meet customer demand. However, it's worth noting that this option can be quite dusty, tends to have a strong odor in the summer, and is more expensive than the fiberglass alternative. Currently, we are insulating attics to R60, which is the Department of Energy's standard for Denver, but we can accommodate any R-value that fits your budget and desire. Don’t forget to check for potential Xcel rebates that may be available for your insulation project.
We specialize in retrofit wall insulation using expanding fiberglass, which is an eco-friendly insulation option. This clean product not only enhances attic efficiency by preventing heat loss and heat gain but also reduces noise. To install, we drill 2.5" holes and then plug and rough patch them once the blow is complete. Plus, you may qualify for an Xcel rebate for making your home more energy-efficient.
Absolutely! We have a super-sucking vac that can help you enhance your attic efficiency. If you'd like to start fresh with clean attic insulation, we’re here to assist you! Same-day remove/replace jobs are our specialty, but if you need a few days in between removing the old insulation and replacing it to install eco-friendly insulation, bath fans, or lighting, that's no problem at all. Plus, don’t forget to check for your Xcel rebate to make your upgrade even more cost-effective!
Air Sealing: I can't tell you how to live your life, but I'll try: if you get a competitor's salesman in your home claiming their crews don't air seal because 'a house needs to breathe,' please send them packing back to 1985. In terms of overall comfort and energy savings, this step is just as crucial as adding attic insulation. We use eco-friendly insulation techniques, applying caulk and foam to seal the leaks between your attic and home where we detect them. This is important because we don't want that nasty superheated or super-freezing attic air mixing with your home's clean, treated air (does anyone say 'Duh!' anymore?). The more effectively we can maintain attic efficiency by keeping extreme temperatures in your attic separate from your living space below, the better off you'll be, and the more you'll save on your Xcel bill. If you are receiving cheap bids that skip this essential step, you could be making a very costly mistake. When there are only a couple of inches of existing insulation, the great thing is that we can get in there and thoroughly seal everything up before adding all the new insulation, giving you a fantastic one-two punch. Once all the insulation has been blown in, there may never be another opportunity to seal it properly, so when this step is overlooked, it is a real missed opportunity for maximizing your home's energy efficiency and securing that Xcel rebate.
Crawlspace Insulation: Cold floors? We can help! By installing thick poly sheeting on the dirt floor, adding thick thermal blankets to the walls, and foaming sill plates and rim joists to create an airtight and insulated space, you can significantly enhance your home's attic efficiency. This eco-friendly insulation approach will keep your floors warmer, making a noticeable difference that both you and your dog will appreciate. Plus, you may even qualify for an Xcel rebate for making these energy-efficient improvements!
