Blown-In Fiberglass Attic Insulation in Austin, TX
Attica Air Duct Cleaning provides a clearly defined attic insulation service: professional installation of blown-in fiberglass insulation, normally targeting R-38 to R-49 based on the attic and approved project scope.
We do not describe every attic as the same. Existing insulation depth, coverage, access and condition must be reviewed before we determine how much fiberglass is needed.
Attica was founded on March 4, 2009 and has served more than 12,000 properties. Because our team also specializes in air duct cleaning, we understand that the attic often contains more than insulation. It may also contain the home’s supply ducts, return ducts and HVAC equipment. We work carefully around those components while installing new material.
Our insulation scope is direct and transparent. We install blown-in fiberglass. Air sealing and baffle installation are not included in our insulation service, and we will not advertise those services as though they are part of the project.
Why Attica Installs Blown-In Fiberglass
Blown-in fiberglass is well suited to many existing Central Texas attics because it can be distributed around framing and across irregular attic-floor areas. When installed correctly, it helps create more consistent coverage than simply placing a few pieces of batt insulation over visible gaps.
Attica focuses on blown-in fiberglass rather than presenting customers with a confusing list of products we do not normally install. The proposal identifies the approximate target, the areas included and the amount of work required.
We commonly plan projects around an R-value target between R-38 and R-49. The final target depends on the attic, existing material and approved scope. We do not promise a particular R-value without first evaluating the space.

Signs Your Attic May Need Additional Insulation
An attic insulation evaluation may be appropriate when:
- Existing insulation appears shallow or uneven
- Sections of the attic floor are visibly bare
- Previous contractors moved insulation and did not restore the coverage
- Older fiberglass has settled or become compressed
- Rooms below the attic are difficult to keep comfortable
- The insulation level is unknown
- A recent repair or construction project disturbed the attic
- Old insulation was removed and the attic now needs replacement material
These conditions do not prove that insulation is the only factor affecting comfort. Attica explains the insulation work we provide without promising that it will correct every HVAC, building or energy issue.
Our Attic Insulation Process
1. Evaluate the Attic
We review the accessible attic area, existing insulation, approximate coverage, access and conditions that could affect installation.
2. Determine the Proposed Target
Based on the existing material and project, we recommend a blown-in fiberglass scope generally designed around R-38 to R-49.
3. Explain What Is and Is Not Included
The customer receives a clear proposal before work begins. Attica's insulation service does not include air sealing or installation of ventilation baffles. If another contractor is needed for work outside our scope, that should be handled separately.
4. Protect the Work Route
Our uniformed technicians wear shoe covers and protect the path used to reach the attic. Equipment and fiberglass are staged with attention to the occupied areas of the home.
5. Install Blown-In Fiberglass
The fiberglass is installed across the approved attic area with attention to even coverage and the planned target. Technicians work carefully around visible ducts, equipment and required access areas
6. Review the Completed Work
We visually review accessible completed areas and provide before-and-after photographs where practical.
An Honest Scope Is Part of the Service
Some insulation companies advertise a complete attic-energy package even when the customer is only receiving additional insulation.
Attica separates the services clearly. Our blown-in fiberglass service does not include:
- Air sealing
- Installation of soffit or ventilation baffles
- Electrical repair
- Roof repair
- HVAC repair
- Pest removal
- Hazardous-material remediation
This does not mean those items are unimportant. It means Attica will not place them in the proposal unless they are services we are actually providing.
When Old Insulation May Need Removal First
Not every attic needs complete removal. Existing insulation may sometimes remain while compatible blown-in fiberglass is added over it. In other situations, water damage, heavy contamination, extensive debris or the need to expose the attic floor may make removal appropriate.
Attica offers attic insulation removal as a separate service using specialized vacuum equipment. If removal is recommended, the reason and removal scope are explained before new fiberglass is installed.
We do not use the age of the insulation alone as a reason to sell a complete removal project.
What Our Customers Say About Us
Attic Insulation Frequently Asked Questions
What type of attic insulation does Attica install?
We install blown-in fiberglass insulation only.
What R-value does Attica recommend?
Our projects commonly target R-38 to R-49. The recommended target is determined after evaluating the existing insulation, attic and project scope.
Does Attica perform air sealing?
No. Air sealing is not included in our attic insulation servic
Does Attica install attic baffles?
No. Baffle installation is not included in our service. We state this clearly so customers understand the exact scope
Can fiberglass be added over existing insulation?
Sometimes. The existing material and condition must first be evaluated. Insulation that is wet, heavily contaminated or blocking required work may need removal.
Does Attica remove old insulation?
Yes. Attic insulation removal is available as a separate inspection-based service using specialized vacuum equipment.
Will new insulation guarantee lower utility bills?
No company can honestly guarantee a particular savings amount without considering the entire home. New insulation can improve resistance to heat flow, but HVAC condition, air leakage, windows, usage and other factors also affect energy costs.
