What it is, in plain English
We install loose-fill blown-in insulation to the R-value the Department of Energy recommends for our climate zone (R-49 to R-60 for Omaha attics). Blown-in fills every cavity, conforms to irregular framing, and — when installed correctly — outperforms batts on every meaningful metric.
What's included
- Choice of fiberglass or cellulose (we'll explain the tradeoffs)
- Installed to DOE-recommended R-49 to R-60 for our climate
- Depth ruler markers placed throughout for verifiable coverage
- Baffles installed to maintain soffit ventilation
- Walkable platforms preserved over key access areas
- Bag count and final R-value documented for your records
Frequently asked
Fiberglass or cellulose — which should I choose?
Both work. Fiberglass is non-combustible, doesn't settle as much, and resists moisture better. Cellulose is greener (recycled paper), slightly better at blocking sound, and cheaper. We'll recommend based on your specific attic.
What R-value do I actually need?
The DOE recommends R-49 to R-60 for Omaha (climate zone 5). Anything less than R-30 is considered under-insulated and is leaving money on the table.
How long does the install take?
Most attics are done in 3–5 hours. You can use your home normally during the install.
