What a 1970s Margate attic usually looks like

About 59 percent of Margate's 26,356 housing units were built before 1980, and the median year built is 1978 (Census ACS, 2020 to 2024). Insulation from that era was often thin fiberglass batts or loose fill, and it settles and gets pushed aside by later trades such as air conditioning installers and cable crews. Nearly half of Margate homes have two bedrooms, 12,352 in all, so many attics are modest in size and the work is mostly about condition, not square footage.

How Blue Pelican adds attic insulation in Margate

We go into the attic with a measuring tool, and a camera where the access allows it, photograph what is there when we can, and note depth, gaps, staining and anything that looks wet or disturbed. Then you get a free Air & Attic Check. If the old insulation is dry and in decent shape, we blow new insulation on top of it. If it is wet, contaminated or badly compacted, we talk with you about replacing it. Our own crew does the work, never subcontractors, and we show you the result, with photos whenever possible.

We recommend an amount after measuring. More insulation can help reduce heat gain, but savings vary and we do not promise a number.

Do you work with condo associations in Margate?

Yes. We coordinate with your association or property manager, follow the building rules for access, and can service several units in one visit when the building books them together. Each owner sees the price for their own unit.

Can I add attic insulation if I live in a Margate villa or condo?

Often yes for a villa whose attic is your own space, but check with your association first, because shared roofs and common attic areas usually belong to it. We can give the association a price in writing, with photos whenever possible. Top-floor condo owners may have no attic access of their own at all.
