Transforming an Inefficient Attic for Year-Round Comfort with an Attic Restoration in Fresno, CA
Carol reached out to us looking for help with her home’s temperature fluctuations and poor air quality. During our attic inspection, we uncovered the main issue: her attic contained only six inches of old, compacted fiberglass insulation, which is far below the Energy Star-recommended level for our Central Valley climate. To improve her home’s energy efficiency and overall comfort, we determined that a full attic restoration was the best course of action.
We took the following steps to restore the attic:
- Removed and properly disposed of the outdated fiberglass insulation.
- Sealed all visible air leaks using closed-cell foam, focusing on areas such as top plates, registers, recessed lighting, smoke detectors, and plumbing and wiring penetrations.
- Thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the attic to eliminate dust, allergens, and lingering odors, ensuring a healthier living environment.
- Installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points to prevent future infestations.
- Blown in premium fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, significantly enhancing the attic’s ability to maintain indoor temperatures.
- Provided Carol with before-and-after photos to highlight the improvements.
- Educated Carol about our 6-month rodent re-entry guarantee for added confidence and peace of mind.
As a result of this attic restoration, Carol’s home will now stay consistently comfortable throughout the seasons, reducing the strain on her HVAC system. She will benefit from improved indoor air quality, lower energy costs, and a more enjoyable living space for years to come.
