How do I know if I have enough attic insulation in Evergreen?

Measure the depth at a few points across the Evergreen attic rather than one. If it sits level with or below the ceiling joists in a Evergreen attic, or varies a lot across the space, there is usually room to improve it. We measure it properly on the Evergreen visit and tell you either way.

Can you add insulation on top of what is already in my Evergreen attic?

Usually yes -- if what is in the Evergreen attic is dry and in reasonable condition, adding depth on top is the normal approach and the cheaper one. If what is in your Evergreen attic is wet, damaged or unidentified, that gets dealt with first.

Will topping up my attic help with ice dams in Evergreen?

It is usually where the problem begins, because ice dams generally come from heat escaping into a Evergreen attic and warming the roof unevenly. Insulation and air sealing are the normal first step in a Evergreen home, but anyone promising a guaranteed outcome without looking at the roof is guessing.

What if there is old wiring in my Evergreen attic?

If we find wiring of a type that should not be buried in insulation in your Evergreen attic, we stop and it goes to an electrician first. It is a genuine fire consideration in a Evergreen home and it is not something we assess ourselves.

What if there is a grey chunky material in my Evergreen attic?

Any material we cannot confidently identify in a Evergreen attic is treated as unknown until it has been tested. We stop, tell you, and do not disturb it or cover it over in your Evergreen attic. Testing is arranged through a qualified lab, not carried out by us, for any Evergreen property. We also cover Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant.

Attic insulation in Evergreen, brought up to an even depth

The attic is the easiest part of a Evergreen house to under-insulate and the easiest to ignore, because nobody looks at it. Most of what we find in Evergreen is not missing insulation — it is insulation that has settled, been walked on, been pushed aside by someone working up there, or simply never went deep enough. Evergreen is an SW Calgary community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so insulation calls here range from basement development in the newer homes to attic and wall upgrades in the older ones nearby. We cover Evergreen, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of attic insulation in Evergreen?

Area, depth and access

Attic insulation cost in Evergreen depends on the square footage of the attic, how much depth is being added, and how easy the attic is to get into and move around in. A low-pitch Evergreen attic with a small hatch takes longer than a tall one with good access.

What can change it

Removing existing material, or anything found up there that has to be dealt with first, is priced separately -- and you are told before the work rather than partway through it. Orange peel is common on Evergreen walls, and the spray tip and timing matter more than the mud for getting it to disappear.

How to tell what you already have in a Evergreen attic

Depth is the honest measure

The only dependable way to know in a Evergreen attic is to measure the depth in several places, because it is rarely even. If it is level with or below the ceiling joists, there is usually room to improve it.

Why it is uneven

In most Evergreen attics the insulation near the hatch and along traffic routes is thinner — compressed by anyone who has been up there for wiring, plumbing or a bathroom fan. The middle can look fine while the edges are bare.

What we do on the visit

In your Evergreen attic we measure in several spots, look at the eaves, the hatch and the ductwork, and tell you what is actually there before quoting anything.

Common attic insulation situations in Evergreen

In Evergreen, evergreen is a community built out in the 2000s. Homes of that vintage generally have knockdown ceilings and orange-peel walls, and the common calls are settling cracks, nail pops and basement development. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

When a Evergreen attic is not a simple top-up

Material we cannot identify

Some older Evergreen attics hold a grey-brown pebbly material rather than batt or blown insulation. We treat it as unknown until it has been tested -- in your Evergreen attic we stop, we tell you, and nothing is disturbed or covered until you know what it is. We do not identify it and we do not remove it from a Evergreen attic.

Old wiring

If old wiring of a type that should not be buried turns up, it goes to an electrician before anything is covered over. That is not a judgement we make ourselves on a Evergreen job.

Frost, damp or damaged insulation

Insulation that is wet or frosted is a sign of something else going on, usually air leaking up from the house. Adding depth over the top hides the problem rather than fixing it, so in a Evergreen attic we report what we find and why instead of blowing over it.

Ice dams

Ice dams are usually driven by heat escaping into the attic. Insulation and air sealing are the usual place to start in a Evergreen attic, but nobody can promise you a result on a roof they have not looked at. Orange peel is common on Evergreen walls, and the spray tip and timing matter more than the mud for getting it to disappear.

Why Evergreen homeowners have us handle the attic

You get told what is actually up there

The attic is the easiest place in a Evergreen house to be told a story about, because almost nobody climbs up to check. We measure it, and if what we find changes the job in your Evergreen home, you hear it before the work rather than after.

One contractor for the whole envelope

We handle the attic, the insulation below it and the drywall that closes it in — one company answerable for the result rather than three trades pointing at each other.

Fixed price, same-day reply

We cover Evergreen and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week. Free on-site quotes in Evergreen and a fixed price before any work starts. In Evergreen basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

What we tend to find in Evergreen

Housing in Evergreen is mixed enough that two jobs on the same street can need completely different attic insulation work.

Orange peel is common on Evergreen walls. It is quick to apply and unforgiving to match, so the tip and the timing matter more than the mud.

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.
