Comprehensive Attic Restoration to Fix Temperature Fluctuations in Fresno, CA

Andrew contacted us because his home was experiencing extreme temperature fluctuations—hot and stuffy in the summer, and cold and drafty in the winter. Upon inspecting his attic, we identified the main issue: only 4 inches of old fiberglass insulation were present, which provided insufficient thermal protection. To address these problems and enhance his home’s comfort and energy efficiency, we recommended a full attic restoration.

Here are the steps we took to complete the attic restoration:

• Removed the old, insufficient fiberglass insulation to start with a clean slate.
• Air-sealed the attic using closed-cell foam to eliminate air leakage points, including around top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations.
• Cleaned and sanitized the attic thoroughly to remove dust, contaminants, and potential allergens, improving indoor air quality.
• Installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent future infestations.
• Blew in premium fiberglass insulation to reach the Energy Star recommended R38 level for optimal thermal efficiency.
• Provided Andrew with detailed before and after photos to highlight the improvements made.

Following the attic restoration, Andrew’s home now maintains a consistent, comfortable temperature throughout the year. The improved insulation and air-sealing reduce the workload on his HVAC system, resulting in lower energy bills and enhanced indoor air quality.
