Old insulation loses R-value over time. We remove it, seal air leaks, and install new material that meets California Title 24 standards. Homeowners save 20-40% on heating and cooling.
Upgrading from R-11 (typical 1980s fiberglass) to R-38 or R-49 cuts heat loss through your attic by 70%. Homeowners save $400-$800 per year on heating and cooling. The upgrade pays for itself in 3-7 years.
Temperature swings from room to room mean your insulation has gaps. We distribute material evenly across your entire attic floor with depth markers to verify coverage. No cold spots, no hot rooms.
Contaminated, moisture-damaged, or rodent-damaged insulation gets vacuumed out completely with our high-powered system. We sanitize the attic before installing fresh material.
Before installing new insulation, we seal gaps around recessed lights, plumbing, attic hatches, and top plates. Air sealing alone improves efficiency 15-20%. Most contractors skip this step.
Blown-in fiberglass, blown-in cellulose, fiberglass batts, or spray foam. We recommend the right material for your attic, not the most expensive one. Your estimate includes options with honest pros and cons.
Eligible homeowners can get up to 80% of insulation costs covered through the BayREN EASE program, paying a maximum of $1,000 out of pocket. We help you apply and handle the paperwork.

"Our energy bills dropped noticeably after Attic Solutions replaced our old insulation. They removed everything, sealed air leaks we didn't know existed, and installed blown-in fiberglass to R-38. The house stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Honest pricing, clean work."
Yelp Review, Oakland
"Got three quotes. Attic Solutions was the most thorough in explaining what we needed and why. They didn't try to upsell spray foam when blown-in was the right choice. Great work."
Yelp Review, Concord
"Old batt insulation from the 80s was compressed and falling apart. Attic Solutions removed it all, cleaned the attic, and installed new material in one day. Professional crew, no mess left behind."

Most projects take 1-2 days depending on attic size and condition. A standard 1,500 sq ft attic with removal and blown-in installation typically takes 6-8 hours. Projects requiring air sealing, rodent cleanup, or structural repairs take longer.
Yes, if your current insulation is clean, dry, and free of rodent damage. We add blown-in material on top to bring total R-value up to code. This costs less than full removal and replacement. If existing insulation is contaminated or compressed, removal is the better option.
California Title 24 requires R-38 to R-49 for attics in climate zones 3 and 4 (which includes Oakland, Lafayette, Walnut Creek). Most older homes have R-11 to R-19. Upgrading to R-38 cuts heat loss through your attic by 70%.
