Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in is loose-fill insulation that we blow by machine into attics, wall cavities, and floors. It's the most affordable way to get a real insulation upgrade, especially in an existing home where you're retrofitting instead of building new.
Is This Right for You?
- ✓You want to upgrade your attic without a big project
- ✓Budget is your top priority
- ✓You want to add insulation on top of what you already have
- ✓You need existing walls insulated without tearing out drywall
- ✓You want to be back home the same day
One Thing You Should Know
Blown-in slows heat down well, but it doesn't seal air leaks by itself. If your attic has gaps around light fixtures, plumbing, or where the walls meet the ceiling, we seal those first. Skipping that step is one of the most common mistakes in this industry, and it leaves a lot of savings on the table. We always check, and we always tell you what we find.
How It Works
Our machine breaks up the insulation and blows it through a hose straight into your attic or wall cavities. In an open attic, we work the hose across the floor and build the material up to the right depth. For walls, we drill 6-inch holes in the sheetrock between each stud bay, fill the cavity completely, then patch and paint. Once the paint dries, most homeowners can't tell we were there.
Loose-fill settles a little over time. That's normal. We always install it slightly deeper than the target so your home ends up right where it should be.
Why Homeowners Choose Blown-In
Most Affordable Option
It costs a lot less than spray foam, which makes it the right call for big areas like a full attic or when the budget is tight.
Made for Existing Homes
We add it to your attic without touching ceilings or walls. For existing walls, we drill 6-inch holes between the studs, fill the cavity, and patch it back up.
Gets Into Every Corner
Loose material works around joists, pipes, and electrical boxes, the spots where batt insulation can't reach.
Handles Humidity
Fiberglass doesn't absorb water, so it won't grow mold or lose its insulating value in a Georgia summer.
Done in a Day
Most attic jobs are finished in a single day, with very little disruption to the rest of the house.
No Wait Time
There's no curing period like spray foam. Your family can come home as soon as we're done.
How much does blown-in insulation cost?
Our standard attic package to reach R‑38, the baseline for most Georgia homes, runs $2.15–$2.30 per sq ft. Wall retrofits and higher attic targets (up to R‑60) depend on square footage and what's already there. It's the most affordable insulation we install, and we'll give you an exact, itemized quote after a free walk-through.

Yes, in most cases. As long as what's up there isn't wet, moldy, or contaminated, we blow new insulation right over it. That keeps the cost down and the job quick.
Most attics are done in a single day. Wall retrofits depend on how many stud bays need filling, but they're usually a one-day job too.
A little, usually 5 to 15 percent over the years. We install it a bit deeper than the target R-value to account for that.
Not the same way. Spray foam needs an open cavity, so the sheetrock would have to come off and go back up. If you want to keep your drywall, blown-in fiberglass through small drilled holes is the option.
