Do you install insulation?

We inspect, document and coordinate. Blown-in top-ups are quoted through a vetted installer so you get a real scope, not a guess.

Is a radiant barrier worth it in Austin?

In this climate it usually helps, though sealing duct leaks and correcting depth normally return more per dollar. The report ranks them.

How long does the inspection take?

Around 45 minutes for a typical home, longer for a large or hard-to-access attic.

Attic insulation and radiant barrier check in Austin, TX

Find the reason the upstairs never cools

An Austin attic hits 140 degrees in July. Thin, displaced or compressed insulation over the bedrooms is usually the reason the second floor never keeps up. We measure depth room by room, look at the barrier and ventilation, and hand you a report you can act on.

Checked annually, usually paired with the spring AC readiness visit.
