Remodel and Addition Insulation

Insulation that connects new rooms to the old house, with the transitions sealed and the old walls improved where it makes sense.

An addition changes more than the floor plan. It adds new walls, new roof area and new connections to the old house. If the insulation in the new space is excellent but the tie-in leaks, the whole project underperforms.

We insulate the new framing, seal the junction with the old house and look at the existing walls and attic that now border the addition. In a remodel, opening walls is the best chance to upgrade, and we advise when it is worth extending insulation into places you would otherwise never see. We also take photographs of every wall and floor cavity before it is closed, so you have a record of what is inside the house. Those photos are useful years later when you plan another project, sell the home or need to answer a question from an inspector.

The tie-in matters most

Where new framing meets old, gaps are common. We seal the junction and make the air barrier continuous so the addition does not leak into the attic or the walls.

New walls, floors and roofs

Each part of the addition is insulated to the plan. We often recommend spray foam in complex roof geometry and batts in simple walls.

Upgrade while open

When a wall is open for wiring or plumbing, adding insulation is easy. We point out cavities worth upgrading before the drywall goes up.

Living through the project

We protect floors, seal dust barriers and work around your schedule. The goal is a quick, neat insulation stage.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

    Call and schedule

    You tell us what is going on, which rooms bother you and what you hope to change, and we set a time that fits your day.

  2. 02

    Inspect and assess

    We walk the attic, walls, crawl space and equipment, measure depths and use thermal imaging when it helps.

  3. 03

    Seal and prepare

    We protect the house, seal air leaks, place baffles and fix small problems so the insulation can do its job.

  4. 04

    Install the insulation

    Loose-fill, batts, foam or board goes in to the planned depth, with clean edges and clear markers.

  5. 05

    Verify and test

    We measure the result, take photos and test air leakage when the scope includes it.

  6. 06

    Walk through and enjoy

    We walk the finished work with you, answer questions and leave the site clean.

Questions

Remodel and Addition Insulation FAQ

Should I insulate existing walls during a remodel?

If they are open, usually yes. It is much easier than doing it later.

Which insulation is best for an addition?

It depends on the design. We recommend a mix that fits the roof, the walls and the budget.

Can you match existing R-values?

We can meet or exceed them, within the limits of the framing.

Do you coordinate with my builder?

Yes. We schedule around framing, rough-in and drywall.

How long does the insulation stage take?

Most additions take one to three days.
