Fast and Effective Insulation for Your Home

Blown-in insulation is one of the quickest ways to improve your home's energy efficiency. We can insulate your attic in just a few hours. You'll start saving money on your next energy bill.



This type of insulation fills every space completely. It gets into corners and gaps that other insulation can't reach. That means no cold spots or wasted energy.


Blown-in insulation is perfect for Colorado homes. It handles our cold winters and hot summers. Plus, it costs less than spray foam while still giving you great results.

What Is Blown-In Insulation?

Blown-in insulation is loose material that we blow into your attic or walls using special equipment. It looks like fluffy material that fills all the spaces in your attic floor or wall cavities.


We use two main types:

Cellulose 

Made from recycled paper treated to resist fire and pests. It's eco-friendly and works great in attics.

Black checkmark on a white background.

Fiberglass 

Made from tiny glass fibers. It doesn't settle as much and resists moisture well.

Both types create a thick blanket of insulation. They fill around pipes, wires, and beams. Nothing gets missed.

Existing Wall Insulation

If your walls have no insulation, we can blow it in without major renovation. We drill small holes in your exterior walls, blow in the insulation, then patch the holes.



This works great for:

Older homes with no wall insulation

Adding to Existing Insulation

Already have some insulation but it's not enough? We can blow more right on top. This is the easiest upgrade you can make.



Many older Colorado homes only have 3-6 inches of insulation. Today's standards call for 14-16 inches. We can bring you up to code quickly.

Fills Every Gap

The loose material flows into every corner and gap. It fills around pipes, wires, and ductwork. This gives you complete coverage with no missed spots.

Traditional batt insulation leaves gaps around obstacles. Blown-in insulation doesn't have that problem.

Eco-Friendly Option

Cellulose insulation is made from up to 85% recycled newspaper. It's one of the most environmentally friendly insulation options available.

By using less energy to heat and cool your home, you're also reducing your carbon footprint.

Common Questions About Blown-In Insulation

  • How much does blown-in insulation cost?

    Most Colorado attics cost $1.50-$2.50 per square foot. A typical 1,500 square foot attic costs $2,000-$3,500 installed.


    The exact cost depends on how thick you want it and what type you choose. We offer free estimates. Call us at 303-596-3107.

  • How thick should blown-in insulation be?

    For Colorado, we recommend 14-16 inches of cellulose or 16-18 inches of fiberglass. This gives you an R-value of R-49 to R-60.


    Many older homes only have 4-6 inches. That's not nearly enough for our climate. More insulation means more savings.

  • Will blown-in insulation settle over time?

    Cellulose settles about 10-20% in the first year. We account for this and blow it thicker initially. Fiberglass settles less, about 2-3%

    After the initial settling, both types stay put for decades. We can always add more if needed.

  • Can I add blown-in insulation to what I already have?

    Yes! This is one of the easiest home upgrades you can make. We blow the new insulation right on top of the old stuff.


    Just make sure your attic is properly ventilated first. We check this during our free inspection.

  • Is blown-in insulation safe?

    Both cellulose and fiberglass are completely safe once installed. They don't release harmful chemicals or gases.


    During installation, our crew wears protective gear because the material is dusty. But once it settles, it's perfectly safe for your home.

  • Will blown-in insulation help with ice dams?

    Yes! Proper attic insulation is the best way to prevent ice dams. The insulation keeps heat from escaping through your roof.


    When your roof stays cold, snow doesn't melt and refreeze. This prevents those damaging ice dams that are common in Colorado winters.
