Serving Gilroy, CA and surrounding areas. (669) 345-1323
Your attic has gaps and corners that standard batt insulation simply cannot reach. Blown-in insulation fills every space evenly, cutting summer heat transfer and reducing what you pay PG&E every month.
Blown-in insulation in Gilroy fills your attic with loose fiberglass or cellulose material blown in through a large hose - most residential attic jobs are complete in two to four hours, with no need to leave your home. The result is a continuous thermal barrier with no gaps or cold spots, something rigid batt panels cannot achieve on their own.
If you have a Gilroy home built before 2000, there is a good chance the attic insulation is too thin or has settled significantly over the years. Our team inspects what is already there during the free estimate and recommends exactly what is needed - nothing more. For homes that also have air leaks around recessed lights or attic vents, pairing blown-in insulation with attic air sealing delivers the best results.
The Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-60 for attics in California climates like Gilroy. Many older homes in the area fall well short of that target. Learn more about insulation standards at energy.gov.
If rooms directly under your roof feel noticeably hotter than the rest of the house during Gilroy summers, your attic insulation is not doing its job. Heat builds up in an under-insulated attic and radiates straight down through the ceiling. This is one of the most common - and fixable - complaints from homeowners in older Gilroy neighborhoods.
If your cooling costs jump sharply in July and August compared to spring and fall, your air conditioner is working overtime fighting heat through the ceiling. Adequate blown-in insulation slows that heat transfer and gives your AC a fighting chance without running constantly all day.
If you peek into your attic and can see the wooden beams across the floor, the insulation layer is too thin. Those beams should be buried under insulation. This is especially common in Gilroy homes built before the 1990s, when insulation standards were far less demanding than they are today.
Gilroy's agricultural surroundings mean rodent activity in attics is not uncommon. If mice, rats, or squirrels have been in your attic, they may have damaged or contaminated the existing insulation. Contaminated insulation loses its effectiveness and can affect indoor air quality - it needs to be inspected and likely replaced.
We install blown-in insulation in attics, walls, and floor cavities throughout the Gilroy area. Attic work is the most common request - we add loose-fill material to bring your attic up to the recommended depth, then leave depth markers so you can verify the result yourself. For walls, blown-in material can be installed through small holes drilled in the exterior or interior, filled, and patched with minimal disruption. If your crawl space also needs attention, we can pair this work with whole-home insulation planning for a single coordinated project.
Blown-in material is especially effective in older homes where wall cavities are already framed and finished - it can be added without tearing out drywall. We also use it when upgrading wall insulation in homes that have little to nothing in the exterior walls. Every job starts with a walkthrough so we can match the right approach to your specific home.
Best for homeowners whose attic has thin or settled insulation and want a fast, proven upgrade.
Suited for older homes with finished walls where adding insulation without demolition is the priority.
A good fit for homeowners interested in recycled-content insulation with strong air-blocking performance.
Ideal when moisture resistance and consistent R-value over time are the top priorities.
Gilroy sits in a valley that traps heat in summer. Temperatures regularly climb into the mid-to-upper 90s, and without adequate attic insulation that heat radiates straight through your ceiling. Most homes in the area were built between the 1960s and 1990s to insulation standards that are well below what California currently recommends. Upgrading the attic is one of the most direct ways to keep summer PG&E bills from spiking and to make the upstairs rooms livable in the afternoon. Wildfire smoke is also a real factor in the South Bay - a tight, well-insulated attic keeps more of that outdoor air outside where it belongs.
We work across the broader area regularly, including in Morgan Hill and San Jose, where similar housing vintages mean similar insulation challenges. PG&E serves all of these communities and offers rebates for qualifying upgrades - we can walk you through the documentation on any job where it applies. See rebate details at pge.com.
We respond within 1 business day. When you reach out, we ask a few quick questions about your home's age and what prompted your call - so we show up to the estimate prepared.
A crew member goes into your attic to check current depth and condition, look for air gaps, and measure the space. You get a written quote before we commit to anything.
We park outside, run the hose up into the attic, air-seal any gaps first, then blow insulation evenly across the floor. Most jobs take two to four hours.
Before we leave, we place depth markers in the attic so you can verify the result yourself. If your project qualifies for a PG&E rebate, we provide the documentation you need to file.
We respond within 1 business day - no exceptions. There is no obligation with the estimate, and getting a quote costs nothing. After you submit the form, someone from our office calls to schedule a free on-site visit where we check your attic, measure what is there, and give you a written number before any work begins.
