Attic Insulation Sterling Heights, MI
My Quality Construction Roofing & Siding delivers professional attic insulation services that slash energy bills and improve home comfort year-round.
Our Comprehensive Attic Insulation Solutions
Proper attic insulation dramatically impacts your home’s comfort and energy efficiency throughout every season. We provide expert insulation installation that reduces utility costs while creating a more comfortable living environment.
Blown-In Insulation Installation
Blown-in insulation fills gaps and irregular spaces that batt insulation cannot reach effectively. Our blown-in insulation installation specialists use specialized equipment to achieve uniform coverage and optimal R-value insulation. This method works perfectly for existing homes without requiring major renovations or demolition.
Spray Foam Insulation Services
Spray foam creates an airtight thermal barrier that stops energy loss and moisture infiltration simultaneously. This premium spray foam insulation service option provides the highest R-value per inch of any insulation type. The expanding foam seals cracks and penetrations that allow conditioned air to escape your home.
Fiberglass Insulation Installation
Fiberglass insulation remains a cost-effective choice for new construction and accessible attic spaces. We install batts carefully to avoid compression that reduces thermal performance. Proper installation includes cutting around obstacles and ensuring complete coverage without gaps.
Cellulose Insulation Installation
Cellulose insulation uses recycled paper treated with fire retardants for safe, eco-friendly thermal protection. This dense material settles into tight spaces and resists air movement better than fiberglass. Our cellulose insulation installation provides excellent soundproofing benefits alongside energy savings.
Insulation Replacement Services
Old insulation loses effectiveness over time through settling, moisture damage, and pest contamination. Complete insulation replacement services remove deteriorated material and install fresh insulation to modern standards. We dispose of old material safely and restore your attic to peak energy efficiency.
Attic Air Sealing Services
Air leaks waste more energy than inadequate insulation in most homes. Our attic air sealing and insulation approach addresses both issues for maximum energy bill reduction. We seal penetrations around wires, pipes, and ductwork before adding new insulation layers.
Radiant Barrier Installation
Radiant barriers reflect heat away from your attic during the summer months when cooling costs peak. This reflective material works alongside traditional insulation to reduce heat transfer into living spaces. Homes in hot climates see substantial cooling cost reductions from radiant barrier installation.
Attic Ventilation Solutions
Proper attic ventilation prevents moisture buildup that destroys insulation and causes structural damage. We balance intake and exhaust vents to maintain healthy airflow year-round. Adequate ventilation also prevents ice damming problems during the winter months.

Benefits of Proper Attic Insulation
Attic insulation plays a crucial role in home comfort, energy efficiency, and roof system health. Adequate insulation reduces utility costs while preventing moisture problems and extending roof lifespan.
Attic Insulation Reduces Energy Costs Significantly
Heat rises naturally, escaping through inadequately insulated attics during the winter months. In summer, hot attic spaces radiate heat downward into living areas, increasing cooling demands. Proper attic insulation creates a thermal barrier that reduces heating and cooling costs by 15-30% in most homes.
Temperature Consistency Improves Throughout the Home
Insufficient attic insulation creates hot spots in summer and cold spots in winter, affecting room comfort. Quality insulation maintains consistent temperatures throughout your home, reducing thermostat adjustments. Comfortable living spaces require less active heating and cooling intervention.
Moisture Control Prevents Damage
Warm, moist air from living spaces rises into attics, where temperature differences cause condensation. Proper attic insulation with adequate ventilation prevents moisture accumulation that causes mold, rot, and structural damage. Dry attics last longer and maintain healthier indoor environments.
Roof Lifespan Extends With Proper Insulation
Excessive attic heat from poor insulation accelerates shingle deterioration from the underside. Proper attic insulation keeps temperatures moderate, protecting roofing materials from thermal stress. Balanced temperatures prevent premature aging and material failure.
Sound Transmission Decreases
Attic insulation provides acoustic benefits by dampening exterior noise from rain, hail, wind, and neighborhood activity. Insulated attics create quieter indoor environments, particularly in upper-level rooms. Additional insulation improves privacy and reduces sound transmission between floors.

How Insulation Works to Save Energy
Insulation can act as a 2nd water barrier, so making sure you have proper insulation can also reduce leaks coming into your house. Good insulation is the real key to extending the life of your roof. Blown-in fiberglass insulation gets into all the small corners and crevices in your roof. Standard insulation can’t provide full coverage. Like the attention to detail in our roofing services, we extend this dedication to your attic insulation. We always use the best quality products. A minimum of R-36 will be used and R-49 is recommended. We can even blow in up to R-60.
When you drive through the Greater Metro Detroit Area, you may notice that some roofs are completely covered by snow while others have none at all.
If there is no snow on the roof or there are areas where the roof is exposed, it is likely because heat is escaping the structure through the roof. You may also notice ice dams on these roofs. Inadequate attic roof insulation is often the root cause of these destructive ice dams. By installing proper attic roof insulation, the temperature within the structure will be more consistent and comfortable, you will save on energy costs, and you can avoid future damage caused by ice dams.

Attic Insulation Material Options
Different insulation materials offer varying performance characteristics, installation methods, and cost considerations. Selecting appropriate attic insulation depends on your existing conditions, budget, and performance goals.
Unsure which insulation material suits your needs?
Understanding Attic Insulation R-Values
R-value measures insulation’s resistance to heat flow with higher numbers indicating better insulating performance. Selecting appropriate R-values for attic insulation depends on your climate zone and energy goals.
Climate Zones Determine Recommended R-Values
Department of Energy recommendations specify minimum attic insulation R-values ranging from R-30 to R-60 based on geographic location. Cold climates require higher R-values to prevent heat loss, while moderate climates need less. Your region's climate zone guides appropriate insulation levels.
Existing Insulation Affects Upgrade Decisions
Many older homes have inadequate attic insulation well below current recommended levels. Adding insulation to reach code-recommended R-values provides maximum benefit and energy savings. Assessing the current R-value determines how much additional attic insulation brings you to optimal levels.
Diminishing Returns Above Recommendations
Adding insulation beyond recommended R-values provides progressively smaller energy savings. Cost-benefit analysis helps determine whether exceeding minimum attic insulation standards makes financial sense. Most homes achieve best value meeting rather than substantially exceeding recommendations.
Insulation Depth Relates to R-Value
Different materials achieve the same R-value at different thicknesses based on insulating properties. Fiberglass requires more depth than spray foam to reach equivalent attic insulation R-values. Available attic clearance sometimes limits insulation choices or achievable R-values.
Need help determining your required R-value?

Our Attic Insulation Installation Process
Professional attic insulation installation requires careful preparation, proper materials, and attention to ventilation requirements. Our systematic approach delivers optimal thermal performance and lasting results.
Step 1: Comprehensive Attic Inspection
Our technicians access your attic to assess current insulation levels, identify air leaks, and check ventilation adequacy. We examine attic structure, measure existing insulation depth, and photograph conditions to plan attic insulation improvements.
Step 2: Air Sealing and Preparation
Before adding insulation, we seal air leaks around chimneys, plumbing penetrations, recessed lights, and attic hatches. Proper air sealing prevents warm air bypass that reduces attic insulation effectiveness significantly.
Step 3: Ventilation Verification
We ensure adequate soffit and ridge venting exists for proper attic airflow with increased insulation. Our team installs baffles, maintaining airflow channels from soffit vents even after adding attic insulation depth.
Step 4: Material Selection and Delivery
We help you select appropriate insulation materials and R-values for your climate and budget. Materials are delivered and staged for efficient installation, minimizing project duration.
Step 5: Professional Insulation Installation
Our trained crews install attic insulation evenly across the entire attic floor covering joists completely. We maintain proper depth, avoid compressing materials, and ensure complete coverage without gaps or thin spots.
Step 6: Final Inspection and Documentation
After completing attic insulation installation, we verify proper depth, ventilation clearances, and complete coverage. We document final R-values achieved and provide recommendations for maintaining insulation performance.

Customer Experiences with Our Attic Insulation Services
Frequently Asked Questions About Attic Insulation
Understanding insulation helps you make smart decisions about improving your home’s energy efficiency. We’ve compiled answers to common questions our customers ask.
Can attic insulation help prevent ice dams on my roof?
Proper thermal insulation combined with air sealing keeps warm air from melting snow on your roof. Ice dam prevention requires adequate insulation, ventilation, and eliminating air leaks into the attic space.
How do I know if my attic has enough ventilation for new insulation?
Proper attic ventilation requires balanced intake vents at soffits and exhaust vents near the ridge. Our licensed insulation professionals assess ventilation adequacy during initial inspections and recommend improvements when needed.
What's the difference between spray foam and blown-in insulation?
Spray foam insulation services provide superior air sealing and higher R-values but cost more per square foot. Blown-in insulation prices offer excellent value with good thermal performance for most budget-conscious homeowners.
Will better attic insulation really lower my energy bills noticeably?
Inadequate insulation upgrade projects typically reduce heating and cooling costs by twenty to thirty percent annually. Homes with minimal existing insulation see even more dramatic energy savings results.
How long does blown-in insulation installation typically take?
Most residential attic insulation installation projects completed in one day for average-sized homes. Larger properties or those requiring extensive air sealing may need additional time.
Can you add new insulation over existing attic insulation?
Adding insulation works perfectly when the existing material is dry, pest-free, and not compressed or damaged. Insufficient insulation replacement becomes necessary when old material is contaminated or improperly installed.
What R-value insulation does my attic need for this climate?
Building codes specify minimum R-values, but we often recommend higher levels for maximum energy bill reduction. Most homes benefit from R-38 to R-60, depending on climate zone and heating fuel costs.
How much does attic insulation cost for an average-sized home?
Attic insulation cost varies based on square footage, chosen materials, and whether old insulation removal is necessary. We provide detailed insulation installation quotes after inspecting your attic and discussing your energy savings goals.
