Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This cozy, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been facing unusually high energy bills. The homeowner, Peter, reached out to Fortenberry Roofing to assess the attic and evaluate the condition of the insulation. During the inspection, we identified deteriorating insulation. Our team conducted a thorough walk-through of the attic, measuring specific areas that could be contributing to inadequate air sealing.

We discovered sections of insulation that did not meet the required R-value standards, which are critical for minimizing heat transfer. Additionally, we found areas where the insulation was less than 2 inches thick. This deficiency in insulation is a primary factor contributing to the inefficient regulation of indoor temperatures, allowing hot and cold air to enter and escape the home.

To address these issues, we added 8 inches of cellulose insulation, bringing the total insulation to the recommended 10 inches. This upgrade ensures the attic now meets the required R-value range of 12-38, significantly improving the home's energy efficiency. After completing the inspection and installation, our team met with Peter to discuss our findings and the steps taken to ensure his home is properly insulated moving forward.

Fortenberry Roofing was contacted to give a Free Estimate for a Vacuum, Sealing, and Insulation job in the Levelland area. Once our expert team was able to get into the attic and see what they were up against, we were ready to give the homeowner an honest assessment of their insulation shortcomings. 

We found areas that were without the proper insulation to maintain a consistent temperature in the home. When the attic isn't properly sealed off, your home becomes less efficient and will cost you more money in the long hall on your electricity bills.
