Home Insulation Services in Lexington, KY
Trusted Insulation Contractors in Lexington
If your energy bills climb every summer and winter, or your attic, crawl space or basement never quite feels right no matter what the thermostat says, the problem is usually your insulation. Reed’s Home Solutions is an insulation company serving Lexington, KY. We install spray foam, blown-in and batt insulation, and we start every job with a free inspection so the material we recommend fits the space, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Central Kentucky’s weather is hard on houses. Summers are hot and humid, winters are cold and wet, and plenty of Lexington homes were built before modern insulation standards. That mix drives up heating and cooling costs, leaves some rooms hotter or colder than others, and pushes moisture into attics, crawl spaces and basements. We look at insulation as part of the whole building envelope, not an isolated add-on.
Our crews work out of our Central Kentucky office in Versailles and serve Lexington, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Richmond, Winchester, Paris and the towns around them. We also handle basement waterproofing in Lexington, crawl space repair in Lexington and foundation repair in Lexington, so if we find a moisture or structural problem while we are in your attic or crawl space, we can fix it under one roof.
Insulation by Area of Your Home
Not sure which insulation you need? Start with where the problem is. Each area of a Lexington home calls for a different approach, and we match the material to the space during your free inspection.
Attic Insulation
The attic is the single biggest source of energy loss in most homes. Proper attic insulation keeps conditioned air where it belongs through Lexington’s humid summers and cold winters. We also insulate roof decks and vaulted ceilings.
Crawl Space Insulation
Works hand in hand with crawl space repair and encapsulation to stop moisture, mold and cold floors at the source. We also insulate the floors above crawl spaces.
Basement Insulation
Insulating basement walls, ceilings and rim joists cuts heat loss and pairs naturally with our Lexington basement waterproofing.
Wall & Garage Insulation
Retrofit insulation for exterior walls that were never properly filled, plus garages under or attached to living space. No drywall removal.
The Three Types of Insulation We Install in Lexington
Every area above can be insulated with spray foam, blown-in or batt. Here is how the materials compare.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam is the highest-performing option we offer, with closed-cell foam at roughly R-6 to 7 per inch and open-cell at about R-3.5 to 3.6. It expands to fill every gap, crack and cavity, so it insulates and air-seals in one step. It is our top recommendation for attics, crawl spaces, rim joists and any area where air leakage or moisture is the main problem.
Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in insulation (cellulose or fiberglass) is installed with specialized equipment that blows loose-fill material into attics, existing walls and hard-to-reach spaces without tearing out drywall, at roughly R-3.2 to 3.8 per inch. It is an efficient way to bring an under-insulated attic or an older home’s walls up to modern standards.
Batt Insulation
Batt insulation (fiberglass or mineral wool) comes in pre-cut panels sized to fit standard wall studs, floor joists and attic rafters, at roughly R-3.0 to 4.3 per inch. It is a cost-effective, reliable choice for new construction, gut renovations and open cavities where installers have direct access.

Lexington Insulation Frequently Asked Questions
How much does insulation installation cost in Lexington?
Cost depends on the type of insulation, the size of the area and how much prep work is needed. Spray foam typically costs more per square foot than blown-in or batt, but it also seals air leaks, so it can replace more than one step. We give you an exact, itemized price after a free inspection, before any work begins.
What type of insulation is best for my home?
It depends on where you need it. Spray foam is best for air sealing and moisture-prone areas like crawl spaces, rim joists and attics with leaks. Blown-in is the best fit for adding depth to attics and filling existing walls without tearing out drywall. Batt works well in open framing, new construction and accessible attics. Your inspection tells us which applies.
How do I know if my Lexington home needs more insulation?
Common signs are high energy bills, rooms that are hard to heat or cool, drafts near walls and windows, cold floors over a crawl space, and an upstairs that is much hotter than the downstairs. ENERGY STAR recommends R-60 for an uninsulated attic in climate zone 4, which includes Lexington, and R-49 for an attic that already has 3 to 4 inches. We measure what you have and tell you how far it is from the target.
Does new insulation actually lower energy bills?
Yes. Properly installed insulation reduces the amount of conditioned air escaping your home, which lowers the work your heating and cooling system has to do. Heating and cooling costs can drop by up to 15%, and most homeowners notice a difference in comfort right away.
How long does insulation take to install?
Most residential attics, walls and garages are finished in a single day. Crawl spaces, basements and larger homes can take longer. We give you a specific timeline with your estimate.
Can you add insulation on top of what is already there?
Often yes. In many attics, blown-in insulation can go on top of existing fiberglass or cellulose that is dry and in good shape. If the old insulation is wet, moldy or damaged, it needs to come out first, and we will tell you that during the inspection.
Which areas around Lexington do you serve?
We serve Lexington and Central Kentucky, including Georgetown, Nicholasville, Versailles, Richmond, Winchester, Paris, Frankfort, Danville, Wilmore and Lawrenceburg.
Do you offer financing for insulation projects?
Yes. We offer flexible financing options for insulation projects. Ask about them during your free estimate, or see our financing page.
