Attic Insulation

Attic Insulation Contractors

Your attic is the single biggest source of energy loss in most homes. Reed’s Home Solutions installs all three major types of attic insulation — spray foam, blown-in, and batt — and will recommend the right one (or combination) for your attic’s layout, ventilation, and budget instead of a one-size-fits-all pitch.

Choosing the Right Attic Insulation for Your Home

The right material depends on what’s actually wrong with your attic. If you’re dealing with air leaks, ice dams, or rooms that run too hot or too cold, spray foam’s air-sealing properties usually solve the problem fastest. If your attic just needs more depth and doesn’t have major air-leakage issues, blown-in insulation is a cost-effective way to top it off. And if your attic has simple, accessible framing with standard joist spacing, batt insulation offers a fast, budget-friendly path to code-compliant R-values. We’ll walk you through all three during your free inspection.

Types of Attic Insulation

Spray Foam Attic Insulation

Closed-cell spray foam expands on contact and seals every seam, penetration, and gap it touches, creating a continuous air barrier that stops heat transfer in both directions. Our crews apply it directly to the underside of the roof deck (creating a conditioned attic) or across the attic floor, depending on your home’s ventilation setup. Closed-cell foam delivers an R-value of roughly 6-7 per inch, meaning a few inches of spray foam outperforms much thicker layers of traditional insulation, and because it also acts as an air and moisture barrier, it helps prevent the ice damming, attic condensation, and mold growth that develop in poorly sealed attics. Spray foam is our top recommendation for attics with existing air-leakage problems, ice dam issues, or rooms that run unusually hot or cold.

Blown-In Attic Insulation

Attics are rarely a simple rectangle — they’re full of joists, trusses, vents, and tight corners that make it hard to get consistent coverage with batt insulation. Using specialized equipment, we blow loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass insulation across the entire attic floor, filling gaps around joists, wiring, and odd angles that pre-cut batts often miss. We install both cellulose (denser, good for airflow resistance) and fiberglass (moisture-resistant, settles less over time) depending on your home’s needs. Blown-in insulation is one of the fastest, most affordable ways to bring an older, under-insulated attic up to modern R-value recommendations, and it’s especially well-suited to topping off existing insulation that’s settled or thinned out.

Batt Insulation for Accessible Attics

For attics with open, easily accessible framing and standard joist spacing, batt insulation is a fast, cost-effective way to reach modern R-value standards. Pre-cut fiberglass batts fit between standard-spaced joists and rafters, giving a precise, code-compliant layer of insulation without specialized blowing equipment. It’s a strong option if you’re also planning light storage on top of the insulation layer, since properly installed batts can support a walkway or platform more predictably than loose-fill insulation. If your attic has irregular framing or a lot of obstructions, blown-in insulation is usually the better fit — we’ll help you decide based on your attic’s actual layout.

Benefits of Properly Insulating Your Attic

  • Lower energy bills — sealing attic air leaks and adding R-value reduces the load on your HVAC system in every season.
  • More consistent indoor temperatures, especially in upstairs rooms that run hot in summer and cold in winter.
  • Moisture and mold resistance, since well-installed insulation doesn’t sag, settle, or trap moisture the way older attic insulation can.
  • Pest deterrence, especially with spray foam, which fills the small gaps rodents and insects use to enter attics.
  • Long-term durability and a measurable reduction in ice damming and attic condensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cost depends on the material, your attic’s square footage, roofline, and how much existing insulation needs to be removed first. Spray foam typically costs more per square foot than blown-in or batt insulation, but it also air-seals as it insulates, which can mean less material overall. We provide an itemized estimate after a free in-home inspection.
It depends on what your attic needs. Spray foam is best for air sealing and stopping ice dams or hot/cold rooms; blown-in is the most cost-effective way to add depth or top off existing insulation in an irregular attic; batt works well in simple, accessible attics with standard framing. Our free inspection identifies the right fit for your specific home.
In most cases, yes, provided the root cause is air leakage or insufficient R-value, which is what attic insulation addresses. Spray foam in particular is effective here because it air-seals as it insulates. We’ll confirm the cause during your inspection so you’re not paying to fix the wrong problem.
Yes, in most cases — this is one of the most common attic upgrades we do. Blown-in insulation is especially easy to add over existing fiberglass or cellulose that has settled or thinned out over time, without removing what’s already there.
Most residential attics are completed in a single day, whether we’re installing spray foam, blown-in, or batt insulation. Larger homes or attics that need old insulation removed first may take longer — we’ll give you a specific timeline during your free estimate.

Yes. We offer flexible financing options for homeowners and can also work with builders on project-based arrangements. Ask about financing when you request your estimate.
