Full Attic Restoration in 1300 Sq. Ft., 2-Story Home in Fresno, CA

Maryann called us because her home felt exceptionally hot and uncomfortable, particularly in the upstairs portion of her home. When we inspected her attic, we discovered that her insulation was lacking: she only had minimal fiberglass batting insulation in the attic, and it was not installed properly. This meant that the hot attic air was easily able to flow into the living spaces of the home, making it hot. We determined that in order to make Maryann’s home more comfortable and energy-efficient, we needed to perform an attic restoration.

We began by removing all of the old batting insulation and debris from the attic. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer in order to eliminate dirt, mold, and other microbes. Next, we air-sealed the attic including top plates, plumbing and wire penetrations, registers, and recessed lights. We further sealed the attic by installing rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the space. Lastly, we blew in fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, or 14 inches. This brought the home up to Energy Star-recommendations.

As a result of our comprehensive attic restoration, Maryann and her family will experience better indoor air quality, a cooler home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they live in the home.
