"I obtained 3 bids via Home Advisor and 3 different companies showed up to quote it. As price went, Attic Elite was the middle of 3 bids, but I was the most impressed with the professionalism of the Attic Elite rep of the 3 who showed up. And Attic Elite provided the written bid electronically within a few minutes of leaving my home. I waited almost a week from another vendor and 2 days for the other one. Neither of the other 2 offered vacuuming, disinfecting, and deodorizing of my attic space. Neither of the others offered patching of holes for rodent infestation. I feel I got way more value from Attic Elite as compared with either the higher or lower other bids. As far as the work went, it was better than expected. They did insulation batts in the lower crawl space. Insulation batts in the ceiling and blown in to all of our (mostly stucco) exterior walls. After those hole patches in the stucco were done by Attic Elite, it was hardly noticeable other than needing paint. Here's what was beyond what I expected. My attic was full of 50+ boxes of stored items. I didn't need to remove them. They took care of it and neatly stacked them in my garage! Theyfoam sealed everywhere that vertical sheetrock met horizontal and anywhere there were gaps of any kind. That's something I wouldn't have thought of. They replaced damaged vent screens that had holes and foam sealed around them. They cleaned up after themselves like they were never there. From initial quote visit to when they were done, they were polite, professional, clean and thorough. No high pressure sale. They were done in less than 2 days. They had a standard price list and it was what it was, and they showed pictures of how they do what they do at the time they quote it. And provided pictures of every area as they completed each portion. As to what I had done, I'm really happy with it. Sure I didn't like spending the money, but my heater was running constantly before in the winter and the ac running all summer. We could always feel a breeze in the house if it was the least bit cold outside. Our hvac was always running resulting in high gas and electric bills. By the end of day 1, the ceiling and crawl space insulation was in and we already felt a huge difference and the heater wasn't running nearly as much. After the blown in walls were done on day 2, our heater was almost never running. Mind you, it was done in February and really cold outside. Since the install, we're leaving the heater mostly in the off position. What a huge difference. I'm not one to write reviews. But I wanted to take the time to write this one. I've already recommended Attic Elite to my neighbor and won't hesitate to recommend them in the future. Outstanding job. Worth the money. Highly professional. You can't ask for more than that."

FAQs for batt, rolled or reflective insulation install or upgrade projects in Santa Cruz, CA

Batt insulation excels in vertical installations because it remains firmly in place and delivers consistent thermal performance. Blown-in insulation performs exceptionally in spaces such as attics, efficiently filling gaps in irregular areas. 

Employing both insulation types according to their strengths enhances your home’s overall energy efficiency and comfort by providing a tailored solution for every space.

Start by measuring the square footage of the space, then match that area with the insulation thickness you need to hit your target R-value. Add a buffer for waste and odd-shaped spots so every cavity is covered. 

Once you have a rough count, run it past a local insulation pro—their on-site advice will fine-tune the numbers and help you avoid costly miscalculations.

Old insulation that is dry, intact, and mold-free does not require removal before adding new insulation; stacking new insulation over it maintains effective thermal performance and boosts energy efficiency. 

If the insulation is damp, moldy, or deteriorated, removal is necessary to eliminate health risks and ensure maximum effectiveness of the new layer. A professional insulation contractor will assess your situation and recommend the most effective solution.

Installing insulation in an average-sized home using batts or boards requires five to 12 hours. Using spray foam or blown-in insulation requires two to five hours. These timeframes are determined by the area’s size, accessibility, and whether old insulation must be removed. 

Complex projects and hard-to-reach spaces demand extra time. Hiring an experienced insulation professional ensures that the installation is completed efficiently and correctly.

Insulation is measured by R-value, which defines how effectively it resists heat flow. A higher R-value provides superior thermal resistance, ensuring your home remains warm in winter and cool in summer. 

Choosing the correct R-value is essential for maximizing energy efficiency and comfort, and it directly impacts long-term utility savings. Professional guidance determines the optimal R-value for your specific climate.
