We go up, measure what is actually there, photograph it, and give you an itemized number on the spot. No charge, no obligation, and we will tell you if your attic is fine.
In several places across the attic, not just at the hatch. Insulation settles unevenly and the average is what matters.
Dark or rust-coloured staining usually means air is moving through that spot, or water has been. Both change the recommendation.
Tunnels, droppings, nesting material, chewed wiring. This is the difference between a top-up and a full removal.
Top plates, can lights, plumbing and electrical penetrations, bath fans, the hatch. We note what is open and what it will take to seal it.
Soffit vents blocked with insulation is one of the most common faults we find, and it is a moisture problem waiting to happen in Houston.
You see your own attic, probably for the first time. Most homeowners have never been up there.
Open your attic hatch with a flashlight. If you can see the tops of the wooden joists, you have less than about 10 inches and you are almost certainly under-insulated. That is the fastest test there is, and it costs nothing. Do not step off the joists, and do not go up in the middle of a Houston afternoon.
Itemized, on the spot, with air sealing listed separately from insulation and removal listed separately again. That matters, because it lets you compare our quote against another one line by line instead of guessing why one number is lower.
What we will not do is quote you a price before we have been in the attic. Anyone quoting attic work over the phone is guessing, and the guess is usually low so they can revise it upward once the truck is in your driveway.
Yes. We measure your current depth and R-value, look for gaps, moisture and pest activity, photograph what we find, and give you an itemized quote. There is no charge and no obligation to book.
Twenty to thirty minutes for most homes. We are not going to sit at your kitchen table for two hours.
Then we tell you that and leave. It happens, and it is a better outcome for us than selling you a job you did not need and having you tell your neighbours about it.
Yes, someone needs to let us into the attic access, and it is worth being there so we can show you the photos and explain what we found while you are looking at it.
No. You get the photos, the measurements and an itemized number, and then we leave you to think about it. If you want time to get other quotes, that is a reasonable thing to want.
Takes 30 seconds. We call you back the same day.
