Quality Aliso Viejo Insulation Services is an insulation contractor based in Aliso Viejo. We seal the gaps in your attic first, then add or replace insulation, for hot upstairs rooms, drafty spots and high power bills.
Aliso Viejo is a planned city and newer than most of its neighbors, so the houses we climb into here mostly went up from the late 1980s on. They're two-story homes, townhomes and condos, with office buildings and shopping centers along the main roads. It's our home city, and the calls are familiar ones: a hot upstairs, a room over the garage nobody wants to sleep in, a power bill that jumps every summer. The floor plans look a lot like the ones next door in Laguna Niguel, and so do the attics.
Those attics are usually low and tight, with ductwork, wiring and can lights running through the original insulation, which has settled or been trampled by every cable and alarm installer since. That's why a job here usually starts with sealing and cleanup before we add a single inch.
We use spray foam insulation where ductwork runs through a hot attic or the gaps are too many to seal one by one, because that's when its higher cost pays back.
Explore serviceMost attic insulation calls here start over a hot upstairs bedroom, so I measure the inches already up there and check what's under them before we add anything.
Explore serviceBlown-in insulation, loose fill blown through a hose, is how we top up most attics here, spread full depth out to the edges instead of piled in the middle.
Explore serviceWhen a house runs hot upstairs and cool downstairs, whole-home insulation means I look at the attic, walls and garage ceiling together and tell you which one matters first.
Explore serviceOld insulation that's soaked, flattened or full of droppings gets insulation removal before anything new goes in, because covering it just keeps the problem.
Explore serviceMost houses here sit on a slab, but where there's a crawl space, crawl space insulation under the floor helps the rooms above stop feeling cold underfoot.
Explore serviceWall insulation matters most in the walls around a room over the garage, where we often find it thin or missing in houses this age.
Explore serviceAir sealing, closing the gaps before insulating, goes around can lights, pipes, wires and the hatch, and it's the step we won't skip.
Explore serviceBasements are rare in Aliso Viejo, so if your house has one, I'll look at the walls and any moisture in person before suggesting basement insulation.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam, dense foam that blocks moisture, fits the spots that stay damp, and I'll tell you if your house simply doesn't have any.
Explore serviceOpen-cell foam is lighter and softer, so we use it to fill and seal odd rooflines and cramped corners where loose fill won't stay put.
Explore serviceFor property managers with offices, shops or multi-unit buildings here, we plan commercial insulation in stages so tenants can keep working.
Explore serviceWhere a crawl space has bare dirt, a crawl space vapor barrier keeps ground moisture out of the floor framing and the insulation above it.
Explore serviceWe handle vapor barrier installation where moisture can travel into a wall or ceiling, so the new insulation stays dry.
Explore serviceAttic air sealing closes the gaps in the attic floor while we keep the eave vents clear, so the attic still breathes once it's insulated.
Explore serviceHouses here were built to the rules of their day, so retrofit insulation adds to finished attics and walls without tearing the house apart.
Explore servicePermits here come from the city's Building & Safety department, and I'd rather ask them about your job than guess, so we check with that office and take care of the permit when one's needed. If an inspection is part of it, a request made before 4 p.m. is usually set for the next business day, which is how a permit shows up on your calendar. When you're comparing contractors, ask whether they're licensed and insured and whether they've registered their business with the city. We're licensed and fully insured, and we've been doing this since 2013.
Price and schedule turn on what's already up there. How many inches you have now, whether old material is wet or full of droppings and has to come out first, how many gaps need sealing, and whether the ducts run through the attic all change the job. Foam costs more because it seals and insulates in one pass, but sealing the gaps and topping up loose fill usually wins unless your ductwork lives up there. At the estimate I write down what I find, so you can see what has to happen first. We do the same work in Laguna Hills and Mission Viejo, where the attics look a lot like these.
Send the form or call (949) 619-8040, and we'll get back to you within one business day to set a time. I come out myself, look at the attic and whatever room is bothering you, and write down what I find so you know what has to happen first. The estimate is free, and there's no pressure to book.
(949) 619-8040The city posts construction hours of Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with no work on Sundays or federal holidays. We set our attic days inside those hours, and in summer we like to start early, before the attic heats up.
A city permit is issued in the name of either the licensed contractor or the property owner, and whoever holds it is responsible and liable for the work, as the city's permit application spells out. When your job needs one, we take care of it, and I'd rather it sit with us than with you, since we're the ones doing the work.
Usually not for air sealing and blown-in work, because the crew stays up in the attic and comes and goes through the hatch, and we cover the floor underneath it. Spray foam is different, because the foam maker sets a re-entry time, when people and pets can come back inside, and I'll tell you that time for the product we're using before we book the day.
We're based in Aliso Viejo and work in cities across Orange County, including the ones listed here and plenty of others nearby. If your city isn't on the list, call and ask.
We pick up seven days a week, from early morning until 9 at night, so call (949) 619-8040 while you're standing in that hot bedroom or send us a message.
If you're not sure your attic needs anything at all, send a message and I'll tell you straight.
