Full Attic Restoration in Fresno: From 4 Inches of Cellulose to R38 Comfort

Darren from Fresno reached out to us because her home was constantly too warm, and her energy bills had been climbing. He suspected his attic might be part of the problem—and he was absolutely right. When we inspected the attic, we found only 4 inches of old, dusty cellulose insulation. Not only was it far below the recommended level, but it was also dirty and compacted, which drastically reduced its effectiveness.

Given the condition of the attic, we recommended a full attic restoration to fix the problem from the ground up. We began by safely removing all of the existing cellulose insulation. Once the old material was extracted, we thoroughly cleaned the attic and applied a hospital-grade disinfectant and sanitizer—Nisus DSV—to eliminate any lingering bacteria, mold spores, and allergens that might have been trapped in the insulation.

Next, we located and blocked potential rodent entry points to help keep pests out for good. We also made sure the attic space had proper ventilation by clearing soffit vents, allowing fresh air to flow and preventing future moisture buildup.

With the attic now clean, sanitized, and secure, we finished the restoration by blowing in new, high-performance fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches—bringing it up to an R38 level. This upgrade dramatically increases the home’s energy efficiency and will help Darren enjoy a more stable indoor temperature year-round.

Thanks to this complete attic restoration, Darren can now look forward to lower energy bills, cleaner air in his home, and consistent comfort across all seasons.
