Insulation in Yorba Linda, CA
Spray foam insulation in Yorba Linda solves the single most expensive problem this city’s housing stock has: tile-roofed hillside homes from the 1980s and 1990s that look fire-safe from the street but were built with almost no insulation in the cathedral-ceiling rafter bays beneath those tiles. Combine that with summer attic temperatures that regularly pass 150°F and you get second floors that won’t hold a setpoint and air conditioners that run from June through October. Harbor Insulation Orange has served Yorba Linda since 2014, and the owner personally installs every job. Call (657) 530-5638 for a free estimate.
Why Yorba Linda Homes Are Different
Yorba Linda is split into two distinct housing eras, and each one fails thermally in its own way. The valley-floor tract homes from the 1970s and 1980s still carry original R-11 wall batts and settled R-19 attic insulation, both of which were minimal by today’s standards and have only degraded since. Then there are the custom hillside builds east of Yorba Linda Boulevard from the 1980s through 2000s, where vaulted ceilings and multi-pitch rooflines make retrofit insulation access genuinely difficult. Contractors built those homes with tile roofs for fire code compliance, but routinely left the rafter bays beneath those roofs with little to no insulation. The result is a fire-resistant shell sitting over a thermally open ceiling.
On top of the housing stock problem, Yorba Linda sits inland enough to hit triple digits every summer, and Santa Ana Canyon funnels wind events through the city in fall that push temperatures into the 90s while dropping humidity to near zero. Under-insulated attics get punished by both. During Santa Ana stretches, attics radiate heat back into living spaces for hours after sunset, and homes with leaky top plates and old insulation lose conditioned air through the attic at a rate that coastal cities simply don’t experience. These conditions are why we audit before we recommend in Yorba Linda. The right material for your home’s specific situation depends on which era it was built in, what’s already up there, and whether the rafter bays are accessible at all.
Our Main Yorba Linda Services
Two services account for most of our work in Yorba Linda: attic insulation upgrades on older valley-floor homes and crawl space encapsulation on hillside properties where drainage follows the slope. Both are covered in detail on their own pages.
Attic Insulation in Yorba Linda
Most Yorba Linda attics we inspect have either settled fiberglass batts from the original build or blown-in material that’s been trampled down by decades of HVAC service calls. On valley-floor homes, we typically find R-19 or less in the attic floor, and on hillside builds we find rafter bays with nothing at all. The fix depends on the roof structure, but the outcome is the same: a cooler second floor and lower summer bills. See Attic Insulation in Yorba Linda for the full breakdown.
Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier in Yorba Linda
Hillside homes in Yorba Linda deal with moisture moving downhill through the soil, which finds its way into crawl spaces and keeps humidity high enough to degrade insulation batts and rust duct straps. Encapsulation seals the floor and walls, controls the vapor drive, and keeps the entire thermal envelope from being undermined from below. For specifics on materials and pricing, see Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier in Yorba Linda.

Spray Foam Insulation in Yorba Linda
Spray Foam Insulation is the most effective answer for Yorba Linda’s hillside homes with cathedral ceilings, because it’s the only material that can be applied directly to the underside of a roof deck in a rafter bay and deliver high R-value plus an air seal in a single pass. When attic temperatures hit 150°F in August and the tiles above are radiating heat into a vaulted living room, spray foam cuts that heat transfer at the point where it enters. We install both Icynene and Demilec product lines, so the foam chemistry gets matched to the specific roof assembly rather than whatever’s on the truck.
Open-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Second-floor rooms that won’t hold temperature in summer, especially in homes built east of Yorba Linda Boulevard with vaulted ceilings and tile roofs.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Open-cell spray foam in Yorba Linda typically runs $1.20 to $2.00 per board foot depending on depth and access difficulty in deep rafter bays.
How we do it
We prep the attic by sealing penetrations, mask off the workspace, and spray the foam directly onto the roof deck underside. The foam expands to fill the cavity and air-seals as it cures, which handles both the insulation and the air leakage problem in one step.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Homes in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone on Yorba Linda’s eastern hillsides, where wind-driven embers during Santa Ana events make ignition-resistant materials a growing insurer requirement.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Closed-cell spray foam in Yorba Linda runs $1.80 to $3.10 per board foot, with the higher end applying to hard-to-reach hillside roof decks.
How we do it
Closed-cell foam goes on as a denser layer that adds structural rigidity and acts as a vapor barrier, which matters on tile-roof assemblies where condensation is a risk. The owner mixes and applies it personally, checking depth with a gauge as he works rather than trusting the application to a subcontractor.
Garage Ceiling Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Attached garages that radiate heat into adjacent bedrooms or bonus rooms above them, a common layout in Yorba Linda tract homes from the 1970s and 1980s.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Garage ceiling spray foam in Yorba Linda typically costs between $60 and $140 per hour plus material, with most single-car garage lids finishing in a day.
How we do it
We clear the garage ceiling joist bays, mask the space, and spray foam into each cavity. If the garage is below a living space, we also seal the perimeter and any shared wall penetrations while we’re up there.
What Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |
|---|---|
| Open-cell spray foam (per board foot) | $1.20 – $2.00 |
| Closed-cell spray foam (per board foot) | $1.80 – $3.10 |
| Garage ceiling spray foam | $60 – $140/hr plus material |
| Roof deck / rafter bay spray foam | $1.50 – $2.80 per board foot |
Can you spray foam a tile roof attic in Yorba Linda?
Yes, and it’s the single most effective retrofit for the cathedral-ceiling tile roof homes east of Yorba Linda Boulevard. We spray directly to the roof deck underside, which leaves the tile and underlayment untouched while sealing the rafter bays.
How long before I can use the room after spray foam?
Occupants should stay out for 24 hours after application while the foam off-gasses and cures. We schedule the work around that window and tell you exactly when it’s safe to return. Call (657) 530-5638 to discuss your attic.
Blown-In Insulation in Yorba Linda
Blown-In Insulation is the fastest, most cost-effective way to bring a Yorba Linda attic floor up to current R-value standards without disturbing the roof structure. The valley-floor tract homes from the 1970s and 1980s are perfect candidates because their attic floors are flat and accessible, and most of them are still sitting at R-19 or less from the original build. When temperatures hit 100°F+, those shallow attics transfer heat into the ceiling below within hours, and blown-in material stops that transfer far better than settled batts. We stock both Owens Corning fiberglass and GreenFiber cellulose, so the material gets chosen for your attic’s specific conditions.
Blown-In Cellulose
Signs you need it
Thin or settled attic insulation in an older Yorba Linda tract home, with rooms below the attic running 5 to 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house in summer.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Blown-in cellulose in Yorba Linda typically runs $1.10 to $1.80 per square foot for a full attic to R-38, including prep and cleanup.
How we do it
We air-seal the attic floor penetrations first, then blow dense-pack cellulose to the specified depth across the entire floor. GreenFiber cellulose is our standard here because it settles less than loose fiberglass and fills odd-shaped joist bays better.
Blown-In Top-Up
Signs you need it
Existing insulation that’s measured at R-19 or below, which covers most original Yorba Linda attic floors from the 1970s and 1980s.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
A blown-in top-up in Yorba Linda runs $0.70 to $1.10 per square foot when the existing insulation is clean and dry enough to stay in place.
How we do it
We inspect the existing material first. If it’s not contaminated or compressed, we blow new material over the top to bring the total depth to R-38 or better, then level the coverage and check the final depth with a gauge at multiple points.
What Blown-In Insulation Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |
|---|---|
| Blown-in cellulose (full attic) | $1.10 – $1.80 per sq ft |
| Blown-in fiberglass | $0.90 – $1.60 per sq ft |
| Dense-pack wall insulation | $1.35 – $2.10 per sq ft |
| Blown-in top-up | $0.70 – $1.10 per sq ft |
Is blown-in insulation worth it in Yorba Linda where summers get so hot?
Yes. Attic temperatures here routinely pass 150°F, and deep blown-in coverage slows heat transfer into living spaces far more than settled 1980s batts. Most homeowners feel the difference on the second floor within the first summer.
Can you blow insulation over old material in Yorba Linda?
Only if the existing material is dry, uncontaminated, and not compressed. We inspect it before recommending a top-up, because covering rodent-soiled or moisture-damaged insulation just locks the problem in. Call (657) 530-5638 for an inspection.
Radiant Barrier Installation in Yorba Linda
Radiant Barrier Installation attacks the problem most Yorba Linda homeowners feel but can’t see: radiant heat gain from a 150°F attic radiating down through the ceiling into living spaces. A radiant barrier installed on the underside of the roof deck reflects that heat back out before it ever reaches the insulation below. In Yorba Linda’s inland foothill climate, where fall Santa Ana events push temperatures into the 90s with near-zero humidity, this is one of the highest-impact upgrades per dollar you can make. It’s a standalone service most general insulation contractors don’t prioritize, which is exactly why we stock and install it.
Attic Radiant Barrier
Signs you need it
Upstairs rooms that stay warm hours after sunset during summer, and attic spaces that feel like an oven when you open the hatch in August.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Attic radiant barrier in Yorba Linda typically runs $315 to $475 per 1,000 square feet when installed as a roof-deck application in open attics.
How we do it
We staple the barrier to the underside of the roof deck, leaving a small air gap that’s required for the reflective surface to work. On homes with low or complex rooflines, we adjust the layout so the barrier follows the roof geometry without blocking ventilation.
Radiant Barrier & Ventilation
Signs you need it
Hillside homes with ridge and soffit vents that aren’t moving enough air, where both a radiant barrier and better air movement are needed to cut attic temperatures.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Radiant barrier combined with ventilation upgrades in Yorba Linda runs $350 to $525 per 1,000 square feet depending on roof complexity and vent count.
How we do it
We install the radiant barrier first, then verify or add soffit and ridge ventilation so the attic breathes properly. If the existing venting is undersized, we correct it in the same visit so the barrier performs as designed.
What Radiant Barrier Installation Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |
|---|---|
| Attic radiant barrier | $315 – $475 per 1,000 sq ft |
| Radiant barrier foil | $1.85 – $2.85 per sq ft |
| Radiant barrier roof deck | $350 – $525 per 1,000 sq ft |
| Radiant barrier & ventilation | $350 – $525 per 1,000 sq ft |
Does a radiant barrier really help during Santa Ana winds in Yorba Linda?
Yes. Santa Ana events push outdoor temperatures into the 90s with near-zero humidity, which drives radiant heat gain through the roof deck. A radiant barrier reflects most of that heat before it reaches your insulation, so the attic stays measurably cooler.
Is a radiant barrier better than more insulation in Yorba Linda?
They address different problems. Insulation slows conductive heat transfer; a radiant barrier stops radiant heat from entering in the first place. In Yorba Linda’s heat, many homes benefit from both. Call (657) 530-5638 and we’ll tell you which your attic actually needs.
Insulation Removal & Replacement in Yorba Linda
Insulation Removal & Replacement is the service Yorba Linda homeowners need when insulation has failed, not just thinned. Rodent activity, roof leaks, and decades of dust and debris leave attic insulation contaminated, compressed, and unable to perform even if the depth measures fine. On 1970s and 1980s valley-floor homes, we frequently find original fiberglass batts that have been trampled by generations of HVAC techs and soaked by a long-forgotten roof leak. From removal to reinstall, we handle the full job, not just the easy part.
Attic Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Insulation that’s visibly compressed, stained, or smells musty when you open the attic hatch, or material that’s been sitting under a roof leak.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Attic insulation removal in Yorba Linda typically runs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot, with extra cost if the attic is very shallow or access is through a small hatch on a hillside build.
How we do it
We use a commercial vacuum system to remove everything down to the drywall, bag it, and haul it out. The attic is left clean and ready for new insulation, which we install in the same visit or shortly after depending on the scope.
Contaminated Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Rat or mouse droppings, nesting material, or a strong ammonia smell in the attic. Rodent activity is common in Yorba Linda’s hillside neighborhoods where open space backs up to homes.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Contaminated insulation removal in Yorba Linda runs $2.00 to $3.50 per square foot, reflecting the extra containment and disposal protocols required.
How we do it
We seal the work area, remove the contaminated material using HEPA-filtered equipment, and sanitize the surfaces before anything new goes in. This is a cleanup and health job first, an insulation job second.
What Insulation Removal & Replacement Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |
|---|---|
| Attic insulation removal | $1.50 – $3.00 per sq ft |
| Contaminated insulation removal | $2.00 – $3.50 per sq ft |
| Vermiculite & old insulation removal | $2.50 – $4.50 per sq ft |
| Insulation replacement (full) | $2.80 – $4.75 per sq ft |
How do I know if my Yorba Linda attic insulation needs removal instead of a top-up?
If the existing material is wet, rodent-soiled, moldy, or compressed to less than half its original depth, removal is the right call. Adding new insulation over failed material wastes the new material and locks in the contamination. We inspect and tell you which path fits.
Can you remove and replace attic insulation in one day in Yorba Linda?
Most standard Yorba Linda attics can be fully removed and re-insulated in a single day, assuming access is reasonable and no structural surprises come up. Hillside homes with deep rafter bays take longer. Call (657) 530-5638 for a timeline on your specific home.
Attic Air Sealing in Yorba Linda
Attic Air Sealing is the step that gets skipped by most insulation contractors, and it’s the one that makes every other insulation upgrade actually perform. In Yorba Linda’s climate, leaky attic floors let conditioned air escape into a 150°F attic all summer, which means your AC runs harder even if the insulation depth is adequate. On 1970s and 1980s tract homes, we routinely find top plates, can lights, and duct boots that were never sealed at the time of construction. We seal those openings before any new insulation goes in, because insulation slows heat transfer but it doesn’t stop air movement.
Top Plate & Penetration Sealing
Signs you need it
Dust streaks on insulation around wall tops, warm spots on ceilings in winter, and rooms that never seem to hold temperature even after insulation was added.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Top plate and penetration sealing in Yorba Linda typically runs $1.00 to $2.00 per square foot of attic floor, depending on how many penetrations exist.
How we do it
We locate every top plate, wire penetration, and plumbing chase, then seal them with foam or caulk rated for the specific gap. This cuts the stack effect that pulls conditioned air up through the walls into the attic.
Attic Hatch Sealing
Signs you need it
A pull-down attic stair or hatch that’s warm to the touch in summer, or a visible gap around the hatch frame when viewed from below.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Attic hatch sealing in Yorba Linda runs $150 to $350 for a complete hatch or stair assembly, including weatherstripping and an insulated cover.
How we do it
We remove the old trim, install weatherstripping around the perimeter, add an insulated box or cover over the opening, and re-trim it. The hatch goes from being a hole in your ceiling to a properly sealed assembly.
What Attic Air Sealing Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |
|---|---|
| Attic floor air sealing | $1.00 – $2.00 per sq ft |
| Top plate & penetration sealing | $1.00 – $2.00 per sq ft |
| Can light & duct boot sealing | $10 – $25 per fixture |
| Attic hatch sealing | $150 – $350 |
Is air sealing worth doing before adding insulation in Yorba Linda?
Always. Insulation slows heat transfer but does nothing to stop air movement, and Yorba Linda attics get hot enough that even small air leaks move a lot of conditioned air. Sealing first means the new insulation performs to its rated value.
How long does attic air sealing take in Yorba Linda?
Most Yorba Linda attics take half a day to a full day depending on size and the number of penetrations. Homes with lots of recessed lights and ductwork take longer. Call (657) 530-5638 and we’ll give you a straight answer for your attic.
Wall Insulation in Yorba Linda
Wall Insulation is the most common retrofit on Yorba Linda’s 1970s and 1980s valley-floor tract homes, because most of them were built with R-11 batts that have settled, compressed, and left entire wall cavities effectively uninsulated. When July hits triple digits, those walls absorb heat all day and release it into the house all night. On hillside builds, wall insulation takes on a second job: keeping Santa Ana-driven heat from entering through west-facing walls that get direct sun for six hours straight. The right material for your home’s specific situation matters here more than any other service.
Drill & Fill Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Rooms that heat up fast in summer and lose heat fast in winter, and wall surfaces that feel warm to the touch on hot afternoons.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Drill and fill wall insulation in Yorba Linda typically runs $1.35 to $2.10 per square foot of wall area for a standard stucco or siding home.
How we do it
We drill small access holes through the exterior or interior wall surface, blow dense-pack material into each cavity, and patch the holes flush. The process is clean, fast, and doesn’t require opening the walls.
Interior Wall Soundproofing
Signs you need it
Bedrooms that share walls with bathrooms, home offices, or media rooms, or any room where noise from the rest of the house is a constant complaint.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Interior wall soundproofing in Yorba Linda runs $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot depending on the material specified and whether the wall is open or closed.
How we do it
For open walls, we install dense batt material like Rockwool between studs. For closed walls, we use injection foam or dense-pack material. The goal is mass and density, which is what stops sound transmission.
What Wall Insulation Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |
|---|---|
| Injection foam wall insulation | $1.50 – $2.50 per sq ft |
| Drill & fill wall insulation | $1.35 – $2.10 per sq ft |
| Exterior wall insulation | $2.00 – $3.00 per sq ft |
| Interior wall soundproofing | $1.50 – $2.50 per sq ft |
Can you insulate walls without tearing them open in Yorba Linda?
Yes. Drill and fill and injection foam methods access wall cavities through small holes that get patched flush. This is the standard approach for 1970s and 1980s Yorba Linda homes where the walls are still in good shape.
How much of my cooling bill is going through uninsulated walls in Yorba Linda?
Walls account for roughly 20 to 30 percent of heat gain in a typical Yorba Linda tract home. When walls are uninsulated or under-insulated, that’s a meaningful share of what your AC is fighting every afternoon. Call (657) 530-5638 to find out what’s in your walls.
Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Yorba Linda
Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing addresses the problem Yorba Linda’s hillside homeowners deal with more than almost anywhere else in Orange County: rodents moving in from open space and using attic insulation as nesting material. Rats and mice chew wiring, soil insulation, and leave droppings that contaminate the air your HVAC system pulls through the house. On hillside lots that back up to open land, we see recurring infestations unless the entry points are actually sealed, which is why cleaning alone never solves the problem. Your entire thermal envelope needs to be handled as one system, and pest exclusion is part of that system.
Attic Cleanout
Signs you need it
Droppings, nesting material, or disturbed insulation visible when you open the hatch, or a musty smell coming from the attic that gets worse when the AC runs.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
A full attic cleanout in Yorba Linda typically runs $500 to $2,700 depending on attic size and the level of contamination present.
How we do it
We remove all contaminated insulation and debris, vacuum the entire attic floor, and haul everything out. The space is left clean enough to inspect every corner for entry points.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Signs you need it
Scratching sounds at night, droppings reappearing after cleaning, or visible gnaw marks on roof edges, vent screens, or fascia boards.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Rodent proofing and exclusion in Yorba Linda runs $300 to $900 for a standard attic, with additional cost if roof or eave repairs are needed.
How we do it
We seal every entry point using steel mesh, hardware cloth, and foam rated for rodent exclusion. Gaps at roof transitions, vent openings, and pipe chases get closed so the problem doesn’t come back.
What Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |
|---|---|
| Attic cleanout | $500 – $2,700 |
| Attic sanitizing & decontamination | $400 – $1,200 |
| Rodent proofing & exclusion | $300 – $900 |
| Attic restoration | $1,500 – $4,000 |
How do I keep rodents out of my Yorba Linda attic for good?
Cleaning alone won’t do it. You have to find and seal every entry point, which on Yorba Linda hillside homes often means roof transitions, vent openings, and gaps where the roofline meets fascia. We clean and exclude in the same job so the problem doesn’t return.
Is rodent-soiled attic insulation a health issue in Yorba Linda?
Yes. Rodent droppings and urine contaminate insulation and the air that moves through it. When your HVAC system pulls air from the attic, those contaminants circulate through the house. Removal is the only real fix. Call (657) 530-5638 to schedule an inspection.
Home Energy Audit in Yorba Linda
A Home Energy Audit is where every Yorba Linda insulation job should start, because it shows you exactly where your home is losing conditioned air and gaining heat before any material gets recommended. We audit before we recommend. On Yorba Linda’s two housing eras, the problems are different enough that guessing wrong costs real money: valley-floor homes leak at the top plates and can lights, while hillside builds leak at the rafter bays and roof transitions. A blower door test with thermal imaging shows all of it in a single visit.
Blower Door Test
Signs you need it
High energy bills that don’t match the size of your Yorba Linda home, or rooms that never hold temperature even after insulation was already upgraded.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
A blower door test in Yorba Linda typically costs $300, and it’s usually included when we complete a full home energy audit.
How we do it
We mount a fan in an exterior door frame, depressurize the house, and measure how much air leaks through the building envelope. The number tells us whether air sealing or insulation is the bigger priority for your home.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Signs you need it
Cold walls in winter, hot ceilings in summer, or any room where you suspect missing insulation but don’t want to open walls to find out.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Thermal imaging as part of a Yorba Linda home energy audit runs $200 to $400 depending on home size and access to the attic.
How we do it
We scan walls, ceilings, and floors with an infrared camera to find missing insulation, air leaks, and thermal bridging. The images show exactly where heat is moving, which eliminates guesswork on what to fix first.
What Home Energy Audit Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |
|---|---|
| Blower door test | $300 |
| Thermal imaging inspection | $200 – $400 |
| Insulation inspection | $150 – $350 |
| Duct leakage test | $150 – $400 |
Do I need a home energy audit before getting insulation in Yorba Linda?
Not always, but it’s the difference between guessing and knowing. The audit identifies air leaks and thermal gaps that insulation alone won’t fix, and it tells us which layer of your envelope is actually failing. It saves money by preventing the wrong work.
How long does a home energy audit take in Yorba Linda?
A full audit with blower door and thermal imaging takes two to three hours on most Yorba Linda homes. Larger hillside builds with multiple attics or crawl spaces can take longer. Call (657) 530-5638 to schedule yours.

FAQs About Insulation in Yorba Linda, CA
How soon can we schedule insulation work in Yorba Linda?
Most Yorba Linda jobs get scheduled within a week or two of the estimate. Hillside homes with vaulted ceilings and multi-pitch rooflines sometimes need extra time to plan access, so we’ll let you know upfront if your home needs a longer first visit before the crew starts.
Do we need a permit for insulation work in Yorba Linda?
Routine attic and wall insulation typically doesn’t require a separate permit. Hillside homes built with tile roofs sometimes have rafter bays that were never properly insulated behind that fire-resistant shell, so we check what your specific roof and attic setup requires before quoting the work.
How does the written estimate work?
We inspect the attic or affected wall cavities in person, since valley-floor tract homes and hillside custom builds in Yorba Linda need very different approaches. From there we write up a price broken out by task, so you know exactly what’s included before any work begins.
Which areas near Yorba Linda do you serve?
We also cover Orange, Villa Park, North Tustin, Tustin, Placentia, and Brea. If your home is near the edge of Yorba Linda or one of these neighboring cities, reach out and we’ll confirm scheduling.
What happens to the old insulation removed from a Yorba Linda home?
We bag it and haul it away as part of the job, whether it’s original R-11 wall batts, settled attic fiberglass, or material from a hillside rafter bay. If anything needs special handling, we’ll explain that step separately before continuing.

What Yorba Linda Customers Say
"Spray foam in the rim joists in the basement. The cold floors above them are gone."
— Lamont Jackson"Solid job. It's hard to verify what's up there once they've gone, so I'd suggest asking for photos, which they did provide when I asked but didn't offer."
— Oscar Guzman"Installed baffles at the soffits so the new insulation didn't block the ventilation, which the previous contractor apparently never considered."
— Jodi Vaughn
