About Ottawa Valley Attic Insulation

We Look At The Whole Attic Before Pricing It

A good quote starts up the ladder, not over the phone. On the free visit we take depth readings in several places, check the eaves and soffit vents, look at the chimney, the wiring and the hatch, and note every gap that leaks warm air.

That visit is why our quotes can show a separate price for each task. You see what sealing costs, what new fill costs and what any clean-out costs, then decide what to tackle first.

Sealing Comes First On Every Job

New attic insulation lying over open gaps loses much of its value. So every job runs in the same order: attic air sealing first, baffles at the eaves next, new fill last. Once the loose fill is down, the gaps are buried.

Old Houses Get Extra Time

Valley houses come in every age, and the oldest need the most care. Balloon-framed farmhouses need their wall tops capped. Attics with old wiring wait for an electrician. Brick chimneys get a proper dam. Some 1940s and 1950s houses get a vermiculite test before anything is touched.

We would rather spend an extra hour on a century house than leave a gap that undoes the work. The farmhouse attic insulation page explains these steps in more detail.

Tidy Work Inside Your Home

Runners go down from your entry to the hatch, and anything under the opening is covered. The blower and vacuum stay on the truck, and only the hose comes indoors. When we finish, we tidy up and let you see the finished level for yourself.

Your invoice lists the R-value before and after, the area covered and the material used, so you keep a clear record of the work.
