Blown-in insulation is the most efficient way to add R-value to an existing attic. Loose-fill fiberglass or cellulose is blown into the attic floor to the correct depth, covering the joists and any existing insulation evenly. It's faster than batt installation, performs well in Smith County's climate, and is typically the right choice for attic upgrades in existing homes.
Fiberglass vs. Cellulose Blown-In
Blown-in fiberglass is white, light, and maintains its R-value even when it gets slightly damp. Blown-in cellulose (made from recycled paper) is denser, settles more over time, and has slightly better resistance to air movement through the insulation layer. Both are good options — we can advise on the better choice for your specific attic conditions and R-value goals.
How Much to Add and Where
We measure your existing insulation depth and calculate your current R-value. Then we tell you exactly how much additional insulation is needed to reach the recommended level for Smith County. We install depth markers in the attic so you (or a future inspector) can verify the installed depth. The job is clean and typically completed in a few hours for a standard attic.
