Blown-in insulation can be worth adding to a 1980s or 2000s West Palm Beach house

About 16.3 percent of homes here, 10,200 units, date from the 1980s, and 38.4 percent of all housing units are detached houses. Insulation laid in the 1980s has had decades to settle and often sits thin over bedrooms and thicker over closets. Blown-in material is spread to an even depth over the top, which for a standard attic is often a straightforward job.

Homes from the 2000s typically started with more insulation, so the question is coverage rather than quantity: low spots near the eaves, around the attic hatch and over the air handler platform. We show you what we found, with photos whenever possible, and say plainly if your attic is fine as it is. Insulation can help reduce heat gain, but savings vary with the house and the air conditioning, so we never promise a number.

How attics work in a West Palm Beach townhouse

About 8.6 percent of West Palm Beach homes, 5,357 units, are attached single-family homes such as townhouses. In a row, the roof space above your unit may be divided from the neighbors by fire-rated walls, and the attic hatch is often in a closet or hallway. We work only in the space above your own unit, and your association or landlord may need to approve the visit.

Our technicians are our own employees, never subcontractors, so the same company inspects, installs and checks the finished depth. If the unit belongs to a landlord, a price in writing, with photos whenever possible, makes the approval easy to give. Nothing is added to the job without your approval, and the free check comes first.

Do you work with condo associations in West Palm Beach?

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.

Will blown-in insulation go over what is already in my West Palm Beach attic?

Often yes. If the existing insulation is dry and sound, new blown-in material can be added on top to bring up the depth. If it is wet, fouled by pests or badly compacted, it is better replaced, and we say so in your price confirmation, with photos whenever possible. Nothing is added to the job without your approval.
