Attic Makeover
Removal of existing insulation and reinstalling to r40 or r50
What is our "Attic Makeover"..
and why do you need it?
Have you had a pest infestation in your attic? Do you need your attic cleaned, sanitized, air sealed, and reinsulated?
Then it is time to give your attic a MAKEOVER!
This service includes 3-phases:
Phase 1: Remove Insulation
- Vacuum existing insulation from all accessible attic areas.
- Powerful 75 HP vacuums (3 units). Insulation captured DUST-FREE in huge cloth vac bags, located in trailers parked outside. Disposed in landfill.
- Accessible fiberglass batts removed by hand, tied in large plastic bags. Disposed in landfill.
For lots of debris, please add a small charge for “hand-cleaning” the insulation before it is vacuumed. - For infestations, we can remove wood decking for a thorough clean-up. We add a small charge for this added work, based on size, and if the deck is to be reinstalled.
Phase 2: Sanitize & Attic Prep
- Thorough application of scented sanitizing solution throughout attic space. Neutralizes & eliminates animal pherones, nasty smells, etc.
- Install Rulers & Baffles as needed.
- Using Pestblock expanding foam, we seal all accessible wire & pipe penetrations, gaps, voids, and top plates in the attic floor.
- We seal around bath exhaust fans, and electrical junction boxes (attached to ceiling fans and light fixtures, and AC/Heat ceiling vents).
- Using Rockwool, we wrap any HOT FLUE PIPES to protect your insulation from contacting these hot surfaces. (Req’d by law).
- Install a 6’ length of flexible duct on any unvented exhaust fan.
- Using Reflectix, (foil-faced bubble wrap) we seal chases and by-passes in your ceiling.
Using Reflectix and Rockwool, we build a retaining wall for exterior chimneys. - Install a protective Fire-retardant TOPHAT on each of your recessed light fixtures, if they are not LED. $30 each, added to invoice.
- Install your Attic Card.
Phase 3: Install your all-borate Cellulose Insulation
- Install a comprehensive coverage throughout your attic areas.
R-40 = 12”
R-50 = 15” - Blow-out (clean) the condensation pan of any AC units in the attic.
- If plywood decking is in your attic:
Backfill & dense-pack insulation underneath the wood, for a comprehensive thermal barrier in your attic. - Blow the plywood decking clean of insulation.
- If needed, we install your insulated, zippered deluxe Attic Stair COZY
