In most Gulf-Coast homes, 40-plus % of heating and cooling escapes through under-insulated attics and leaky wall cavities. Our blown-in cellulose insulation blankets every hard-to-reach gap with a dense fiber layer that stops airflow, dampens noise, and delivers an immediate drop in utility costs—often at little or no out-of-pocket expense thanks to the utility programs we manage.
Why Upgrade to Blown-In Cellulose?
| Benefit | What It Means for You |
| Lower Energy Bills | Up to 25 % annual HVAC savings by reaching the recommended R-38 attic level. |
| All-Season Comfort | Fewer temperature swings; rooms stay cooler in summer, warmer in winter. |
| Superior Fire Safety | Class A fire-retardant treatment slows flame spread for critical exit time. |
| Healthier Air Quality | Dense fiber reduces outdoor pollen, dust, and pests entering living spaces. |
| Eco-Friendly | Made from 80-85 % recycled newspaper, diverting waste from Louisiana landfills. |
What Our Cellulose Install Includes
- Pre-Install Thermal Scan – Verifies existing R-value and pinpoints hot/cold spots.
- Air-Sealing & Baffle Setup – We caulk top-plate gaps, weather-strip attic hatches, and install ventilation chutes for proper airflow.
- High-Density Blow – A 2-stage truck-mounted hopper feeds cellulose through a sealed hose to blanket the attic floor or dense-pack walls up to R-60.
- Depth & R-Value Verification – We mark rulers every 300 sq ft and photo-document final coverage.
- Clean-Up & Walk-Through – Attic decking wiped, access area vacuumed, and performance gains explained before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does cellulose compare to fiberglass?
Cellulose fills voids more completely, stops airflow better, and offers higher sound-dampening—all with recycled content and Class A fire treatment.
Will it settle over time?
Properly installed loose-fill cellulose settles < 3 %, a margin already added to achieve your target R-value.
Is my attic too messy for installation?
No. We move light storage aside, cover valuables, and vacuum afterward.
Do I need to leave the house?
Not required. Our HEPA-filtered hoses minimize dust; you can stay home comfortably.
What about roof ventilation?
We install baffles at each soffit to maintain airflow and prevent moisture buildup.
