Attic Restoration with Spray Foam on Vaulted Ceiling in 2200 Sq. Ft. House in Clovis, CA

Daniel reached out to us because his home constantly felt hot and stuffy during the summer months. He had a vaulted ceiling in his living room, which felt like it was the hottest room in the house. We came out and inspected his attic and found that his insulation was low, with only about 4-5 inches of old, cellulose insulation present. In addition, there were numerous holes, gaps, and cracks which was allowing air to flow between the attic and the rooms of the home. His vaulted ceiling was the main culprit. We also found multiple HVAC ducts that were broken and leaking conditioned air into the attic and contaminating the air in the living spaces of the home. We determined that a full attic restoration was needed, as well as repairing the broken ducts, and applying spray foam on the vaulted ceiling in order to insulate it and prevent air flow.

We began by removing all of the old insulation and sanitizing the attic, eliminating the irritants and contaminants. We then installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the space. We then carefully air-sealed all potential leakage points to prevent air from flowing between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Next, we applied two inches of spray foam to the vaulted ceiling to insulate it and prevent air leakage. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic to the Energy Star-recommended level.

As a result of the full attic restoration we performed, Daniel and his family will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during summers, a warmer home during winters, less dust and better indoor air quality, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they live in the home.
