We Provide Experienced Attic Insulation Services for Your Home
As one of the biggest sources of heat loss in homes, insulating your attic is vital in improving energy efficiency. Whether it’s unfinished or used as extra living space, the attic holds a lot of potential for energy savings.
Although it’s best to talk to home insulation professionals about the specifics of your project, it’s generally recommended to insulate knee walls and floors.
Attic insulation, also referred to as loft insulation, can help:
- Maximize energy efficiency and reduce energy bills
- Make your home or building a more comfortable space
- Improve the efficiency of your AC and furnace
- Contribute to a healthier environment

How Much Insulation Does My Attic Need?
Here in Miami, we’re in Zone 1, which requires R-30 to R-49 for uninsulated attics and R-25 to R-30 for attics that already have a few inches of insulation.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, insulation should be installed:
- Between and over the floor joists in unfinished attics to seal off the living space below
- In the attic access door
- Between knee wall studs
- Between the studs and rafters of exterior walls and roof
- In ceilings with cold spaces above
Loose-fill (blown-in fiberglass) and batt insulation are typically installed in an attic. Although not as common, spray foam can also be used as attic insulation.
If the ducts in your home are in unconditioned space, like the attic, seal and insulate them to maximize energy efficiency. Our team can assess your space and help you determine the right solution for your attic.

Frequently Asked Questions About Attic Insulation Installation
How much insulation do I need in my attic?
The U.S. Department of Energy includes Miami in Climate Zone 1 and thus suggests you should add between R-30 and R-49 worth of insulation to an uninsulated attic, or R-25 to R-30 if you already have a few inches of insulation but worry it’s inadequate or old.
Different insulating materials offer different R-values, which affect the actual amount of materials needed. For example, an inch thickness of closed-cell spray foam offers between R-3 and R-7.
How can we install attic insulation over existing insulation?
Many insulation products can be installed directly over your existing attic insulation if it’s in good condition.
Spray foam insulation, for example, can almost always go over anything that already exists. Any gaps will be filled during the process, and the whole space will be sealed tight when the process is complete and the foam has expanded.
Other materials, like cellulose spray, fiberglass batts or blown insulation, might also be installed over existing insulation as long as there’s sufficient space for the added material.
What type of insulation is best for an attic?
It depends on how you intend to use your attic and what sort of insulation it already has. If you want a finished attic you can use comfortably, you’ll want something like spray foam insulation or fiberglass batts, which can insulate along exterior surfaces to keep the attic at a comfortable temperature.
If you don’t need to keep your attic comfortable, you can use spray foam or blown fiberglass along the bottom of the attic and not worry about insulating the attic itself; instead, you’ll want a barrier between your attic and the occupied rooms of your house.
When should I replace my attic insulation?
Your attic insulation should be replaced if you notice any sign of significant air leaks from the attic. In colder climates, this gets more obvious in winter because of how snow melts from a leaking attic, but in Florida’s heat, you’ll need to look for subtler signs:
- See how hot your ceiling feels in rooms adjacent to your attic.
- Take note of hot drafts on the top floor of your home.
- Check if there are any obvious gaps or flaws in your insulation.
Water damage is less subtle and requires a full replacement — no repairs or covering up moldy insulation.
