Too late to add insulation to your Covedale house?
It's never too late. Older homes often see the biggest savings from blown in insulation upgrades.
Your Covedale home is 20+ years old and you're wondering if adding insulation now is worth the investment. Many homeowners in West Price Hill's older neighborhoods think they missed their chance when the house was first built.
Houses built before 2000 often have minimal insulation by today's standards. Your energy bills stay high because heat escapes through your attic and walls. This happens more in older Covedale homes where insulation wasn't a priority during construction.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 for most homes. The project takes one day and includes air sealing around gaps and adding Owens Corning Atticat Pink fiberglass to your attic floor. No walls need to be opened.

What people in Covedale say
"THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE."
"I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day."
"I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!"
