Professional Attic Insulation Installation
Every part of a roofing system plays an integral role in protecting your home, as well as what and who is inside. Attic insulation, even though it’s not actually a part of the roof, has an incredibly important function in regulating the temperature inside the home. If your heating and cooling costs are high or if ice dams are forming on the roof during the winter, these could be signs that it’s time to upgrade or replace the insulation in your attic.
Big Boy’s Construction uses blown-in insulation, providing a more thorough barrier between temperatures inside and outside the home, in both summer and winter. Blown-in insulation, rather than traditional rolled insulation, is a cost-effective method of filling in gaps and seams inside the attic. To increase your home’s energy-efficiency and to protect it from significant damage caused by changes in temperature, contact the roofing contractors at Big Boy’s Construction.

Is it Time to Upgrade Your Attic Insulation?

Attic insulation can last for decades under perfect conditions. But with the Indianapolis weather, there are rarely perfect conditions. Intense winter storms and heavy wind can cause a lot of damage to your roof, potentially leading to leaks inside the attic. Over time, if the attic insulation settles or becomes compacted, if mold or mildew begins to grow, or if the insulation is outdated, it can lead to serious damage within the home if left unrepaired.
What is Your Home’s R-Value?
The R-value measures how well insulating materials can resist the flow of heat. The higher the R-value, the better the performance. Indiana homes must have an R-value of at least 38, but the higher the number, the more efficient your home will be. The Federal Department of Energy recommends R60.
Energy Savings
If you’re looking to increase your home’s energy efficiency, you may want to consider having new insulation installed. A significant amount of heat escapes through the attic, especially with poor quality insulation or if it was improperly installed. Upgraded attic insulation can save homeowners roughly 20% on their heating and cooling costs.
Reduce Potential Roof Repairs
Without adequate attic insulation, there is a higher risk of snow melting and freezing on top of the roof. Under the right conditions, this can lead to the formation of ice dams on the edge of the roof. This can cause significant damage to the roofing system as well as your home. Whether the insulation was incorrectly installed or if a leak caused mold to grow, upgraded insulation can prevent ice dams from forming.
Quick & Easy Installation
Roofing services don’t have to be a hassle or take up an entire day. New attic insulation installation typically takes about four hours from start to finish. Our contractors use the latest technology to ensure that every gap is filled quickly and efficiently. This will reduce heat loss during the winter and will cool your home cool in the winter.
The Best Materials For a More Efficient Home
Big Boy’s Construction uses blow-in insulation, which is a glass fiber material. It is fungus- and mold-resistant and comes with a lifetime warranty. Rather than rolled into the walls and flooring of the attic, a hose blows in the insulation for complete coverage. Our contractors are highly trained and experienced, ensuring that the project is completed safely and on time.
