Attic Insulation Services

A warmer, quieter home—installed fast, with less mess.

What Attic Insulation Actually Does

Attic insulation slows down heat movement. In winter, it keeps warm air from escaping through your ceiling. In summer, it blocks heat from radiating down into your living spaces. The result? Your furnace and AC don't have to work as hard, rooms feel more comfortable, and energy bills drop.
Here's what matters before insulation goes in: sealing the big air leaks. Gaps around plumbing pipes, electrical chases, recessed lights, and attic hatches let conditioned air escape even when insulation is present. The Department of Energy recommends sealing those openings first, then adding insulation on top. It's like putting on a jacket over a shirt with holes—seal the holes, then layer up.

Most homeowners notice three things after installation:

More even temperatures between rooms

Fewer drafts from ceiling fixtures

Quieter spaces overall

Insulation fills gaps and cavities, which also dampens sound transfer between floors. The EPA notes that combining air sealing with proper insulation can trim heating and cooling costs on average, though exact savings depend on your home's current condition and local climate.

Why Choose Integrity for Attic Insulation

We've completed attic insulation projects for over 10,000 customers across Southeast Michigan and Northwest Ohio. Our approach stays straightforward: seal the leaks that matter, match insulation material and depth to your home's needs, and keep your living spaces clean during the work.

What sets our attic insulation services apart:

In-house trained crews — Our installers are employees, not subcontractors. They're trained on prep, protection, and cleanup standards that keep your home respectful during the project.

Clear scope, no jargon — We explain what needs fixing, why it matters, and what it costs. No upselling unnecessary add-ons.

Seal first, insulate second — We follow the Department of Energy's guidance: address big air leaks before blowing in insulation. That sequencing makes the insulation work better and saves more energy.

Regional experience — 25+ years in Ohio handling similar freeze-thaw cycles and humidity patterns. Three years in Michigan applying that same expertise with local crews who know the area.

Lifetime Workmanship Warranty — Our labor coverage doesn't expire. If an installation issue surfaces years later, we address it at no cost to you.

Gold Standard Protection Plan — Goes beyond materials and labor to include project timelines, cleanup benchmarks, and communication standards. It's our written commitment to how the work gets done.

Torch Award for Ethics — Better Business Bureau recognition for consistent, transparent practices. Not every contractor can say that.

What We Install in Attics

We install blown-in insulation for most residential attics. The material gets blown through a hose into your attic space, where it settles around joists, odd angles, and hard-to-reach corners. Unlike batt insulation (the pink rolls you see at hardware stores), blown-in material conforms to irregular spaces and doesn't leave gaps where air can sneak through.

Why blown-in works well:

Covers around obstacles like plumbing vents, electrical boxes, and roof trusses without cutting and fitting

Fills spaces between joists evenly without compression

Easy to add more depth if energy codes change or you want better performance later

We match the material type and target depth to your home's size, current insulation levels, and ventilation setup. If you can see the top of your attic floor joists, you likely need more insulation. If your attic feels like a sauna in summer or ice-cold in winter, that's another sign.
Ventilation stays balanced: Your attic needs airflow to manage moisture and prevent ice dams in winter. We make sure insulation doesn't block soffit vents or ridge vents during installation. Proper ventilation + proper insulation = a system that performs without causing problems down the line.

Our Attic Insulation Process

Check Current Conditions

We start by looking at what's already in your attic. If you can see the tops of your floor joists, insulation depth is probably below recommended levels. We also check for obvious air leaks—gaps around pipes, wiring penetrations, recessed lights, and the attic hatch. These are the spots where air moves freely between your living space and the attic.

Seal the Big Gaps First

Before insulation goes in, we seal large openings. That means sealing around plumbing chases, HVAC ducts, electrical boxes, and any place where conditioned air can escape. The EPA and Department of Energy both emphasize this step—sealing leaks first makes the insulation work better and prevents you from just insulating over pathways where air still moves.

Prep, Protect, and Install

We cover areas that need protection (like stored items or walkways), set up our blowing equipment, and start filling the attic to target depth. The material distributes evenly around obstacles and settles into place. Installation typically wraps up in a few hours for most homes, depending on attic size and access.

Light Cleanup and Walkthrough

After installation, we do a quick cleanup and walk through what we did. You'll see the difference in insulation depth right away. We also provide basic maintenance tips (don't compress insulation with storage, keep vents clear) and answer any questions before we leave.

Ventilation & Moisture Basics

A well-insulated attic needs proper ventilation to work right. Ventilation lets moisture escape and helps prevent ice dams in winter when snow melts and refreezes at the roof edge. The goal is simple: keep attic air moving while keeping your living spaces sealed. That means insulation shouldn't block soffit vents (the intake along the eaves) or ridge vents (the exhaust at the peak).

When airflow and insulation work together, your attic stays dry, your home stays comfortable, and you avoid problems like mold growth or roof damage. The EPA's guidance on attic ventilation emphasizes this balance—insulate the attic floor to separate conditioned space from unconditioned space, but don't choke off the airflow paths that manage moisture and temperature in the attic itself.

Financing Your Attic Insulation Project

Attic insulation fits within monthly budgets through flexible payment plans. Most financing approvals happen within 24 hours, so you can move forward without waiting weeks for a decision. Review your options and estimated monthly payments before committing to a project timeline.
