Attic Restoration and Insulation Upgrade for a More Comfortable Home in Fresno, CA

Rosie reached out to us because her home in Fresno was struggling to stay cool despite constant air conditioning use. After inspecting her attic, we found only 4 inches of old cellulose insulation—far below the recommended level—along with accumulated dust and debris. This lack of proper insulation was allowing heat to seep into her home, making her HVAC system work overtime and leading to high energy bills.

To restore her attic and improve her home’s energy efficiency, we started by removing all the old, deteriorated cellulose insulation. Next, we thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the space using Nisus DSV, an industrial-grade disinfectant that eliminates bacteria, viruses, and allergens. We then air-sealed all key leakage points, including plumbing and wire penetrations, top plates, and registers, using closed-cell foam. This prevents air transfer between the attic and the living areas, improving overall energy efficiency.

Once the attic was properly sealed and prepped, we installed fresh, high-quality blown-in fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to an optimal R38 level. As a finishing touch, we ensured proper ventilation by clearing the soffit vents, allowing for better airflow and temperature regulation.

Thanks to this attic restoration, Rosie’s home is now far more comfortable year-round. She can look forward to reduced heating and cooling costs, improved indoor air quality, and an HVAC system that won’t have to work as hard to maintain a pleasant temperature.
