What signs indicate I might need air duct replacement?

Signs include reduced airflow, allergies worsening despite cleaning, visible dust or debris accumulation in vents, and high energy bills despite proper HVAC system maintenance.

// Insulation Services

What type of insulation is best for my attic?

The best type of insulation for your attic depends on several factors, including your climate, budget, and attic space. Attic Bros can help you choose the most suitable insulation based on your needs.

We offer a range of insulation materials such as fiberglass batts, fiberglass blown-in, cellulose, rockwool, and many more, tailored to meet your specific needs and budget.

How much insulation do I need in my attic?

The recommended level of attic insulation varies depending on your location and building code requirements. Attic Bros can perform an inspection to determine the optimal insulation level for your attic.

While DIY attic insulation is possible, professional installation offers several benefits. Attic Bros can ensure proper installation techniques to achieve optimal insulation performance and prevent future problems like moisture buildup or air leaks.

What are the benefits of adding additional insulation to my attic, even if I already have some?

Increasing your attic insulation level can bring additional benefits:

  • Improved energy savings: With more insulation, your HVAC system works less to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, potentially leading to further reductions in energy bills.
  • Enhanced comfort: Proper insulation helps regulate indoor temperature, reducing drafts and creating a more comfortable living environment throughout the year.
  • Reduced noise pollution: Insulation can act as a sound barrier, minimizing noise transfer from outside or between different floors in your home.

Does Attic Bros offer any warranties on their insulation services?

Attic Bros may offer warranties on both the materials and labor involved in your attic insulation project. This provides peace of mind knowing your investment is protected in case of any issues. Please inquire about specific warranty details during your consultation.

Huge shoutout to Attic Bros! From the start, Ori did a fantastic job assessing, scoping, and explaining his recommendation. Major compliments to Kevin, Nic, and the entire crew—they did an absolute top-notch job cleaning out our attic and installing new insulation. They walked us through the process step-by-step so we knew exactly what to expect. The crew was super respectful of our home, carefully taping everything off and keeping the house spotless while they worked. The before-and-after photos really showed off their quality work. Professional from start to finish—if you need attic work done, I recommend you consider Attic Bros, and definitely take advantage of their free inspection!

Another great job by Attic Bros. In the past, I've used this company for rodent concerns (sealing up entry points & ensuring the critters couldn't get in) and when I had a need for HVAC vent cleaning, I gave them a call. They shared options and I chose a partial cleaning that made sense for me. The service person was on-time, thorough, and a nice person to boot. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic experience with Attic Bros from start to finish. Ori, the project manager, was AMAZING. He was super friendly, responsive, and handled our initial consultation, explained everything clearly, and identified asbestos areas early, ensuring they were safely encapsulated before work began. He was also generous with advice as we plan for future HVAC work :heart: The team (under Ori's great leadership) was thorough and respectful of our home, completing a wide range of work including asbestos encapsulation, attic insulation removal and installation, attic cleanup, rodent exclusion (attic, crawl space, and exterior), air sealing, attic and crawl space sanitization, air duct insulation replacement, debris disposal, and more. They properly sealed all vents after the air duct cleaning. We also really enjoyed working with Vic, who filled in as project manager for a day and kept everything running smoothly. They also provided many before-and-after photos, which was incredibly helpful, and were happy to share additional photos upon request. Finally, Kat, who runs things in the office was so wonderful and welcoming, and such a pleasure to work with, making scheduling and communication easy. We highly recommend Attic Bros for their professionalism, quality, and care. This is contracted work done right!

We are beyond thrilled with the work this company did! From start to finish, the team was outstanding — professional, friendly, and incredibly thorough. They completely cleaned our attic, removed and replaced old insulation, cleaned every air vent, and rodent-proofed our entire house with incredible attention to detail. Our home feels cleaner, healthier, and so much more secure. The crew was punctual, respectful, and left everything spotless. The improvement in air quality was immediate. If you’re considering attic cleaning, insulation replacement, air vent cleaning, or rodent proofing, do not hesitate — this company is truly exceptional and worth every penny!

Great job. Prompt, did a very thorough job with each aspect, including rodent screens and closing air gaps. Yard respected and cleaned thoroughly after. Old insulation taken out completely. Did all they could to make our job successful. Had some minor damage to the inside of the house, but they had sealed it all off with plastic and slight accidents happen on a job of this magnitude. Overall highly recommend Attic Bros. Not likely the cheapest but a thorough job done

Attic Bros really saved us. We had rodents in our attic and we needed Attic Bros's full service to do rodent exclusion, sanitizing, insulation replacement, and cleanup. We really couldn't have gone to anyone else because Attic Bros's thoroughness and safety protocols are better than the competition. For example, they create a tunnel of plastic to make sure dangerous particles and rodent droppings don't spread throughout your home. Kuda did the initial inspection and estimate. Carlos H and his team took care of everything else. Everything went perfectly. I can't thank the team enough. They've brought us so much peace of mind and actual safety! September 2023 update: We started to hear noise coming from the attic again, so we called Attic Bros. We were still under warranty, which was really helpful. We were able to schedule an appointment right away. Ricardo and Hector checked out the attic and used their detective skills to figure out that a rat (which they found in a trap) was probably able to enter through ceiling vents. They quickly and efficiently sealed them off. Great work guys! Thank you so much!
Ricardo was extremely thorough and polite. He found a couple of possible entry points near my roof and sealed them. I have recommended Attic Bros to several friends because they did not pressure me, but I had a lot confidence in their work. I will continue to use this company!

I was referred to Attic Bros by my neighbor who had a great experience with them last year. I suspected I had a squirrel problem with it accessing my attic. I called Attic Bros and scheduling an inspection was quick and easy. I called on a Thursday and they were able to come out that Saturday. Jordan had inspected my attic. Jordan was prompt, professional and thorough. He said my attic looked great and no signs of pest activity. He was super friendly, honest, thorough explaining what he saw in my attic. I was pleasantly surprised that he said my attic looked great and nothing needed to be done. He didn’t try to sell me anything that I didn’t need. I really appreciated Jordan’s honesty. A couple of days later, I saw some activity outside of my backyard lawn which appeared to be shredded styrofoam. Called Attic Bros again and was able to get someone out in two days. They inspected the attic again and assured us that the squirrel didn’t gain access to inside my attic, and they secured meshing underneath the roof overhang where we had spotted the squirrel hiding. All in all, I’m very please with Attic Bros and would highly recommend them to my neighbors, family and friends.

Fantastic service again!! There have been rats to the roof of our home. Luckily we had purchased the rodents presentation service from Attic Bros. Ricardo came to have a complete inspection and fixed the two holes. He was so professional! Recently we had mite treatment from another company, and the guys in that company also praised that Attic Bros is very professional for rodents prevention. We were so happy that we happened to find this company via Yelp reviews. Thanks Attic Bris!!!
