New Construction & Gut Renovation Insulation
New Construction Insulation Contractors
When wall cavities, floor joists, crawl spaces, and attic rafters are fully exposed — during new home construction or a gut renovation — there’s no single insulation material that’s right for every part of the build. Reed’s Home Solutions installs spray foam, blown-in, and batt insulation on new construction and gut renovation projects, matching each material to the part of the house where it performs best.
Which Insulation Type Goes Where in a New Build
- Spray foam at rim joists, crawl space walls, and other air-leakage-prone areas where an air seal matters as much as R-value.
- Batt insulation in open, accessible wall cavities, floor joist bays, and attic rafters with standard framing, where pre-cut panels give a precise, code-compliant fit at a lower cost.
- Blown-in insulation for attics needing full-floor coverage, or oddly-shaped spaces like sloped ceilings and irregular framing where pre-cut batts don’t fit well.
Â
On most new builds and gut renovations, we use a combination of these approaches — batt or blown-in across the bulk of the open wall and attic space, with targeted spray foam at the highest-risk air-leakage points — rather than one material throughout.
Why Open-Cavity Access Matters
Fully exposed framing gives our installers direct, hands-on access to fit and seal insulation precisely, before drywall, siding, or finishes go up. We install to meet or exceed current energy code R-value requirements for your region, across exterior walls, floors over unconditioned space, attics, and crawl spaces — and we can verify coverage on-site before you close up the walls, which isn’t possible once a home is finished.
Benefits of Getting Insulation Right During Construction
- Every material is matched to the application instead of a single one-size-fits-all approach.
- Precise, code-compliant R-values verified before drywall goes up.
- Lower long-term energy costs than retrofitting insulation after the fact.
- One contractor coordinating insulation across the whole build, rather than juggling separate installers per material.
