Attic insulation that keeps heat where it belongs
In most Oregon homes the attic is where the cold sneaks in and the warm air walks out. If your attic has the original pink batts — or just a sad dust blanket — you're paying for heat all year long. We top off or replace attic insulation to current standards across the Willamette Valley.
What this means for your home
In most Oregon homes the attic is where the cold sneaks in and the warm air walks out. If your attic has the original pink batts — or just a sad dust blanket — you're paying for heat all year long. We top off or replace attic insulation to current standards across the Willamette Valley.
- Top-off installs when you already have decent depth but not enough
- Full removal and replacement when the old insulation has settled, soaked, or is contaminated
- Air sealing of major leak points before we install, so the insulation can actually work
- Sizing based on your ceiling area and target R-value, not a flat “we spray X cans” number
- Cleanup when we’re done — drop cloths, vacuuming and a final walkthrough
Why TCS
“Insulation only works if it’s installed for the way your house actually holds air.”
We look at air leaks first, moisture second, and insulation depth third. That’s why a TCS install stays comfortable and energy-efficient.
Built for Salem-area homes
Frame, log, and metal roofs — we’ve insulated all of them.
No-pressure estimates
A number and a description of the scope. That’s it.
Cleanup included
Drop cloths, a vacuum, and a walkthrough before we drive off.
How we work
The TCS process, start to finish
You tell us what it feels like
Cold spots on upper floors, icicles in a warm spell, a furnace that never quite shuts off — start there. Also tell us the rough age of the house and whether the attic has been opened before.
We measure, then quote
We walk the attic: measure ceiling area, existing insulation depth and condition, check for air leaks around penetrations, and look for moisture. Then you get a written estimate with the work broken out clearly.
We seal the leaks first
Insulation under air pressure is just very thick wallpaper — it gets blown around and compresses. We caulk and seal the big leaks (around wiring, pipes, can lights, the hatch) so the new depth holds.
Install, verify, clean up
We install to your target depth, check it against the plan as we go, and clean up before we leave. You get the receipt, the material spec sheet, and the before/after numbers to keep for a future resale.
Good to know
Questions people ask before booking
It depends on your existing depth and target R-value. For most of the Willamette Valley, modern guidance lands somewhere around R-49 to R-60 for attics, but the right number for your specific attic comes from measuring what’s up there first. That’s part of the estimate.
Often no. If the existing material is dry and in decent shape, we usually top it off. If it’s settled, wet, or contaminated (rodent droppings, mold, old vermiculite we don’t want to disturb), we’ll tell you that before you book, not after you’ve paid.
It helps, but insulation alone won’t fix every bill. If your heating loads on the lower floors a lot, or you have major air leaks in the ductwork, sealing those first can matter more than the inches of insulation. We’ll be straight with you about which one it is.
Depends on the size of the attic and how much is being replaced. Most single-family homes are a day or two of work on-site. We’ll tell you what to expect once we’ve measured.
Yes — Salem is our home base, but we serve Keizer, Corvallis, Albany, Dallas, Lebanon, Monmouth and Silver Falls as part of our regular service area. Call 503-990-9175 if you're anywhere in the Willamette Valley and we'll confirm coverage for your specific address.
