Gaps and thin spots in your attic insulation let Reno's extreme heat and cold through. Blown-in insulation fills every corner, cuts energy waste, and keeps every room in your home comfortable year-round.
Blown-in insulation in Reno fills attic floors and wall cavities with loose material blown in through a hose, reaching corners and irregular spaces that batt rolls can't cover - most jobs are completed in a single day with no disruption to your household.
Reno sits at 4,500 feet elevation with some of the widest temperature swings in the continental US. That means your attic works hard in both summer and winter. Blown-in material is particularly effective here because it settles into every gap, leaving no cold spots for Reno's frigid January mornings to exploit. Many homeowners pair this service with attic insulation to address both depth and air sealing in one visit.
The federal government recommends significantly deeper attic insulation for Reno's climate zone than for warmer Nevada cities. If your home was built before 2005, there's a good chance it was insulated to a lower standard than what's recommended today.
If your NV Energy bill has risen over the past year or two with no change in usage habits, heat escaping through the attic is one of the most common causes. Reno's long heating and cooling seasons mean even a modest insulation gap can cost hundreds of dollars a year. Don't assume the problem is your HVAC until the attic has been checked.
Open the attic hatch and look at the floor. If you can clearly see the wooden boards running across the attic, your insulation is too thin. Properly insulated attics in Reno's climate should have material deep enough that those beams are completely buried. This is the easiest self-check a homeowner can do.
If a bedroom runs freezing in January or unbearable in August while the rest of the house feels fine, the insulation above that room is likely thinner or more degraded. Reno's wide temperature range makes small insulation gaps far more noticeable than they would be in a milder climate.
Thick ridges of ice along your roof edge signal that heat is escaping through the attic and melting roof snow before it reaches the cold eaves. Reno gets enough winter freezing events for this to cause real ceiling and wall damage. Adding blown-in insulation and sealing air leaks is the most effective long-term fix.
We install both fiberglass and cellulose blown-in insulation depending on what suits your home. Fiberglass is moisture-resistant and lasts for decades without settling. Cellulose, made from recycled paper, fills irregular spaces exceptionally well and is a strong choice for older attics with lots of framing irregularities. We measure your current depth, explain your options, and recommend only what your specific attic needs.
Air sealing always comes first. Blowing in new material over gaps around light fixtures, pipes, and framing is like putting on a sweater with holes in it. We seal those penetrations before a single particle goes in. Homeowners pairing this with home insulation work on other parts of the house can schedule both in the same visit.
We also service existing attics where prior insulation has settled or been disturbed by pests or contractors. In those cases we assess what's still usable, remove what needs to go, and bring the depth up to the level your climate zone requires.
Best for homeowners prioritizing longevity and moisture resistance.
Ideal for older attics with irregular framing where coverage matters most.
The complete package - seal gaps first, then blow in for full thermal performance.
For attics with some coverage already in place that just needs additional depth.
Reno's high-desert climate is one of the most demanding in the country for home insulation. Summer highs above 100°F and winter lows that drop to single digits mean your attic insulation has to perform in both directions for most of the year. Homes built during Reno's growth periods of the 1970s, 1980s, and early 2000s were often insulated to the minimum code of their era, which falls well short of today's recommendations for this climate zone.
Reno's dry, high-desert air also creates an air-sealing challenge that contractors in wetter climates don't face in the same way. Wood framing dries out and shrinks over time, opening small gaps around fixtures and framing that let conditioned air escape even when the insulation itself looks fine. Homeowners in Sparks and Carson City face the same conditions and see the same results from proper blown-in coverage.
NV Energy offers rebates for qualifying insulation upgrades, and the federal energy efficiency tax credit covers up to 30% of project costs through 2032. We provide the documentation you need to apply for both - so you don't leave money on the table after the job is done.
We respond within 1 business day. A few quick questions about your home's age and what's been bothering you - high bills, uncomfortable rooms, drafts - and we schedule your free in-home estimate.
We go into your attic, measure insulation depth in multiple spots, check for air leaks around fixtures and framing, and note the overall condition. You get a written quote that explains exactly what we found and what we recommend - no guesswork.
On installation day, we seal gaps around light fixtures, pipes, and the attic floor before any material is blown in. This step is included in your quote. It's the most important part of the job and is never skipped.
We run the hose through the attic hatch and build up the insulation evenly across the floor. Depth markers go in throughout so you can verify the final depth yourself. Before we leave, we walk you through photos and provide rebate documentation.
We respond within 1 business day. There's no obligation to proceed after the estimate. After you submit, someone from our office calls to schedule a free on-site visit where we measure your attic and give you a written quote.
(775) 491-3183Our license is publicly verifiable through the Nevada State Contractors Board. That means you have formal consumer protections behind you - not just a handshake - if anything needs to be addressed after the job.
We know Reno's housing stock, its climate challenges, and the specific attic conditions in neighborhoods that have been through multiple boom-and-bust construction cycles. That local context shapes every estimate we give.
We leave small depth-verification markers throughout your attic after every blown-in job. You can check the depth yourself at any time, and we provide photos of the air sealing and finished insulation before we leave.
We provide the paperwork needed for NV Energy rebate and federal tax credit applications as part of every job - so you capture all available savings without hunting down paperwork yourself.
Reno homes built before 2005 typically need significantly more attic insulation than they currently have. We measure first, explain what we find, and recommend only what your home actually needs - not a package designed for a different climate or a newer build.
Comprehensive insulation for every part of your home - attic, walls, crawl space, and basement evaluated in one visit.
