About our insulation contractor company in Bakersfield

Spray foam insulation coats an attic roof between exposed wooden rafters above silver flexible ducts.

How I ended up in attics for a living

I spent years on heating and cooling service calls before I started this business in 2020, and most of those calls put me in an attic. I kept finding insulation laid over a roof leak or a flue that wasn't venting right, and covering a problem only hides it. So I switched trades. I learned insulation working next to people who'd done it a long time, and I already knew my way around a crawl space, which is more than most people ever want to know about one.

Today we're a licensed and fully insured insulation contractor in Bakersfield, working across the city and the cities around it in Kern County. Most calls come from homeowners with a room that won't stay comfortable or a power bill that keeps climbing, and some come from property managers. You can see the insulation work we do around Bakersfield, and if your house sounds familiar, send us a message or call (661) 377-0037.

What you can expect when we work on your house

  • We seal and check before we insulate

    Our crew closes the gaps around can lights, pipes and the attic hatch first, because insulation can't stop a draft that's blowing right through it. We also check anything up there that burns gas before we tighten the house up, so it keeps venting the way it should.

  • I come out for the estimate myself

    I look at what's already in your attic or crawl space and tell you what your house needs. Sometimes that's less than you expected, and I'd rather you hear that from me than find out later.

  • We tell you when it isn't our trade

    If we find vermiculite, old wiring or anything else outside our work, we say so plainly and point you to the right people. Burying it under fresh insulation doesn't make it go away.

How we go about the job

  1. Look first

    We check how many inches are already up there, the eave vents, and whether the old material is soaked or full of droppings before we talk about adding anything.

  2. Bad stuff out

    When old insulation is wet or dirty, we take it out instead of covering it, so the problem doesn't stay up there under the new layer.

  3. Permits handled

    We check whether your address falls under the city or the county, and if the job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork and the inspection.

  4. Even coverage

    We keep the eave vents clear so the attic can breathe, and we carry the insulation full depth out to the edges instead of piling it in the middle.

  5. Final check

    Our installers do the work, and I check it myself before we pack up and clean up.
