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

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

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

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

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

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

What if there is old wiring in my Wildflower attic?

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

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

Any material we cannot confidently identify in a Wildflower 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 Wildflower attic. Testing is arranged through a qualified lab, not carried out by us, for any Wildflower property. We also cover Bayside, Kings Heights, Coopers Crossing and the Airdrie area.

Attic insulation in Wildflower, brought up to an even depth

The attic is the easiest part of a Wildflower house to under-insulate and the easiest to ignore, because nobody looks at it. Most of what we find in Wildflower 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. Wildflower is a newer Airdrie community where settling cracks, nail pops and basement finishing are common, so basement development insulation is the main call here, with the main floors already insulated to a recent code. We cover Wildflower and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of attic insulation in Wildflower?

Area, depth and access

Attic insulation cost in Wildflower 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 Wildflower 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.

How to tell what you already have in a Wildflower attic

Depth is the honest measure

The only dependable way to know in a Wildflower 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 Wildflower 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 Wildflower 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. Housing in Wildflower is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Common attic insulation situations in Wildflower

In Wildflower, serving Wildflower seven days a week, we take on drywall jobs big and small. We replace water-damaged drywall, fix stained ceilings and blend the texture invisibly, with insurance photos. We smooth builder-grade and patched walls up to a flawless Level 5 finish before repainting. Book a free on-site quote seven days a week. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

When a Wildflower attic is not a simple top-up

Material we cannot identify

Some older Wildflower 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 Wildflower 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 Wildflower 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 Wildflower 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 Wildflower 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 Wildflower attic, but nobody can promise you a result on a roof they have not looked at. Housing in Wildflower is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Why Wildflower homeowners have us handle the attic

You get told what is actually up there

The attic is the easiest place in a Wildflower 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 Wildflower 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
