"I literally had mice droppings and torn insulation up there — it was so gross. We just moved into this 1960s ranch and had NO idea how bad the attic was until we got a quote from Reside. The guy who did the video call walked me through everything: air sealing, the R-value, even photos of how they’d trap the rodents BEFORE install. Honestly, I thought it was going to be a scam — but the quote was exactly what they promised and no weird charges after. My PG&E bill is already down like 30 bucks and the house feels WAY more comfortable. I’ve already told two neighbors!"
"Reside gave me a full breakdown — insulation, air sealing, rodent proofing, disposal — all of it — during a 20-minute video call. I didn’t have to take off work or wait for someone to show up. What really got me was the honesty. They showed me a photo of my attic hatch with light gaps around it and said, ‘This is where hot air is escaping.’ Most companies wouldn’t even point that out unless you ask. The quote I got remotely matched the final invoice down to the penny. No ‘oh actually it’s more because we found this or that.’ Would 100% recommend if you want something fast, real, and stress-free."
"OK I was skeptical. I called 3 different places before this and got everything from ‘just blow some in over the old stuff’ to weird pricing games… BUT Reside was different. They explained WHY my attic needed a clean-out, how the old pink fiberglass was contaminated from rodent activity, and how sealing the top plates could stop the draft I’ve always felt in our master bedroom. The video estimate felt like talking to a friend — and they even paused the quote when I said I needed a few days to think. NOT the cheapest, but by far the most transparent and respectful company we’ve worked with on our house."
Common Questions About Insulation
What to know about fiberglass, cellulose, spray foam — and which one’s right for your attic.
What’s the difference between batt, blown-in, and spray foam?
Batt comes in precut sheets, blown-in is loose-fill material that packs into gaps, and spray foam expands on contact to seal air leaks. Each has different strengths, depending on your attic.
Which insulation material is best for my attic?
Open, walkable attics do great with batt. Tight, irregular spaces benefit from blown-in. Spray foam is ideal when maximum air sealing or high R-value is the priority.
Is spray foam worth the higher cost?
Yes, in attics with major air leakage or for long-term energy savings, spray foam can pay for itself within a few years. It also boosts resale value in many homes.
Do I need to remove the old insulation?
In most cases, yes — especially for spray foam or air sealing. Our team handles removal, cleanup, and disposal as part of your project.
How long does insulation installation take?
Most installs take a single day, even if we’re removing old insulation first. You don’t need to move out or prep anything in advance.
Can attic insulation help with soundproofing?
Yes. Blown-in cellulose offers strong sound dampening benefits. Spray foam also helps, especially with outside noise or HVAC duct sound.
