Inglewood Attic: R-11 to R-49 in One Day

A 2008 ranch off Gallatin Pike had original blown-in that settled to near-nothing. Bills showed it. We stripped, air-sealed every penetration, and installed Owens Corning AttiCat to R-49.

The homeowner called us in March 2025 after her heating bills had climbed every winter since 2020. We pulled the attic hatch and found roughly 2 inches of settled fiberglass — closer to R-11 than the R-30 it was installed at in 2008.

Before we touched insulation, we air-sealed: every top-plate gap, recessed light can, plumbing chase, and HVAC boot got either foam or fire-rated caulk. Air sealing is the step most crews skip because it doesn't photograph well and it takes time. We don't skip it.

We then installed Owens Corning AttiCat blown-in fiberglass to a verified R-49 depth — marked with our depth rulers at 12 points across the attic floor. Total job time: 6 hours. We hauled out the old material, swept the hatch area, and emailed her the post-install depth readings before we left.

She reported a $74 drop in her first full monthly gas bill after the install — February 2026. That's a real number from a real bill, not our estimate.

License #HC-48201 on the permit. Owens Corning Platinum Protection warranty registered in her name the same week.

Attic Insulation FAQs

Attic Insulation Questions? We’ve Got Straight Answers.

We’ve been insulating attics across Middle Tennessee since 2014. Here are the answers to the questions Nashville homeowners ask us most before booking.

How much does attic insulation cost in Nashville?

Cost depends on attic size, existing insulation condition, and the R-value you need. Typically, our customers spend between $1,200 and $3,500 for a full retrofit with blown-in cellulose or fiberglass. We provide a written estimate within 24 hours of inspection — no surprises.

What type of insulation do you recommend?

For most Nashville homes, we recommend blown-in fiberglass or cellulose for attics. Cellulose offers better soundproofing and pest resistance; fiberglass excels in moisture-prone areas. We’re factory-certified for GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed insulation products, so manufacturer warranties are honored.

Will better attic insulation actually lower my energy bills?

Absolutely. We’ve seen customers in 12 South and Inglewood cut their summer cooling costs by 15–20% after we brought their attic up to R-49. Proper insulation keeps your HVAC system from working overtime — especially important during Nashville’s humid summers.

Do you remove old insulation before installing new?

We inspect first. If the old insulation is moldy, rodent-infested, or severely compacted, we’ll remove and dispose of it before air-sealing and blowing in fresh material. If it’s in decent shape, we often top it off to reach the target R-value — saving you money.

How long does an attic insulation project take?

Most residential attics are done in one day. A typical 1,500-square-foot attic takes 4–6 hours with a two-person crew. We’ll give you a specific timeline during the inspection — and we always clean up completely, including magnet-sweeping any stray nails from previous roof work.

Is attic insulation messy? Will you clean up?

We take every precaution: drop cloths, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and sealed entryways. After we’re done, we haul away all debris and vacuum the work area. Our jobsite cleanup guarantee applies — if we leave a single nail or dust pile, call us and we’ll fix it same day.

Do you handle air sealing along with insulation?

Yes — and we recommend it. Air sealing gaps around pipes, vents, and attic hatches before insulating can boost efficiency by another 10–15%. We use quality caulk and spray foam, and we’ll point out any major leaks during your free inspection.

Can I do attic insulation myself to save money?

DIY can seem cheaper, but mistakes like uneven coverage, poor air sealing, or using the wrong R-value waste money long-term. Plus, renting equipment and buying materials at retail often costs more than our professional service. We guarantee the job is done right — with a written warranty.
