Why Berkeley homes need better insulation
Fog pours in through the Golden Gate on summer evenings and the hills stay cool and damp through winter, so thin, old insulation shows up in Berkeley heating bills. An attic with too little insulation makes the heating and cooling run longer every day of the year.
We insulate homes in Elmwood, Claremont, North Berkeley and Thousand Oaks and throughout Berkeley: old material out, air leaks sealed, then new EcoBatt® or blown-in insulation to the right depth.
What we see in Berkeley homes
- The houses
Berkeley has some of the oldest housing in the East Bay: Craftsman and brown-shingle homes from the early 1900s across Elmwood, North Berkeley and Claremont, many still with their original attics.
- The wildlife
Creeks, Tilden Park and the wooded hills bring roof rats and mice into Berkeley homes, especially older houses with open vents.
- Under the floor
Berkeley's older homes sit on raised foundations, often over crawl spaces with dirt floors, old debris and no vapor barrier.

What our customers say
Rated 4.9 on Google, with 5-star reviews on Yelp, so you can breathe easy knowing you're in good hands.
“We went 5+ years without dealing with the insulation in our attic which was basically non-existent and years of old rat feces prior to us moving in. From the start Ron gave us a very competitive estimate. Joy and Sean arrived promptly, went through the job requirements and then through the house recognizing all the vents/ducts that they were going to clean. At the end of the job, they made sure we were completely…”
“This company has done a unrivaled job. They stand behind their reputation and are true to their word. They did insulation clean up, installing new insulation, sanitized and rodent proof. It's only been a few days but you can already tell the different in the temperature of our house!”
“Joey and his crew arrived on time. They were very professional and considerate to our needs. We needed our old insulation swapped out and have our attic and crawl space rodent proofed. They did an amazing job at doing so. He was considerate enough to take pictures of all work completed and presented me everything.”
