A certified technician evaluates your attic's current insulation depth, R-value, air sealing, and ventilation. Thermal imaging may be used to identify hidden cold spots and air leaks.
Before any insulation is added, all gaps, penetrations, and bypasses are sealed with foam or caulk. This critical step prevents conditioned air from escaping and is often skipped by less thorough contractors.
The chosen insulation material is installed to the recommended depth and R-value, with careful attention to ventilation baffles near eaves to maintain proper airflow and prevent moisture buildup.
A post-installation walkthrough confirms proper coverage, depth uniformity, and that all ventilation pathways remain clear. Documentation is provided for energy tax credit applications.
