Your Fort Wayne house is freezing and energy bills doubled?
Most heat escapes through your attic. Here's how blown attic insulation fixes both problems fast.
Your heating bill jumped this winter and some rooms stay cold no matter what you do. You can feel drafts but can't find where they're coming from. Fort Wayne's older homes often have thin attic insulation that lets heat pour straight through the roof.
Heat rises and escapes through your attic faster than your furnace can replace it. If you can see floor joists through your existing insulation, you're losing money every hour. Most Fort Wayne homes need R-38 to R-60 insulation levels, but many have half that amount or less.
Blown attic insulation typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 for an average home. The work takes one day and covers your entire attic floor evenly. Bigger homes or hard-to-reach spaces cost more. Most homeowners see the investment pay for itself in 2-3 years through lower heating and cooling bills.
Check your attic this week. If you see bare spots or can see wooden joists, you need more insulation.

What people in Fort Wayne 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!"
Other things people in Fort Wayne ask
blown in attic insulation cost
Blown-in fiberglass costs $1.50-3.00 per square foot installed. Price depends on R-value needed and attic access. For a 1200 sq ft attic, expect $1800-3600 total. Cheaper quotes often mean lower R-value.
how to tell if plaster has asbestos
Don't disturb the plaster until you know what you're dealing with. Have a licensed asbestos inspector take a sample and send it to an accredited lab for testing — this is the only way to know for sure. If asbestos is confirmed, contact a certified asbestos abatement contractor to handle removal safely. Never sand, scrape, or drill into suspected asbestos plaster on your own.
attic insulation removal cost
Costs vary depending on the cause and how much insulation is affected, but most jobs require full removal and sanitation before re-insulation. Removal runs $1–2 per sq ft, and replacement adds another $1.50–4 per sq ft depending on insulation type. For a typical 1,000–1,500 sq ft attic, expect to pay $3,000–$10,000 or more when sanitation is involved. Pest or fire damage usually means the most thorough cleanup.
