Quality Aliso Viejo Insulation Services seals and insulates attics and walls in Costa Mesa homes, starting with the gaps that let heat in. I look at each job myself, and our own crew does it.
Costa Mesa is built closer together and older than a lot of what we see in Irvine. There are single-story houses from decades back, two-story tracts, condos and plenty of rentals. People here call about the same things we hear everywhere, a hot upstairs, a cold room over the garage, a power bill that climbs every summer, but the attics behind those calls have usually seen more years.
In an older house, the attic usually shows its age. We often find a thin, flattened layer of insulation, pipe and wire holes nobody ever sealed, and sometimes droppings or a water stain from a roof leak that was fixed long ago. That's why I look at what's up there before we add anything, because new insulation over a damp or dirty layer only hides the problem.
Foam seals and insulates in one pass, so it fits rooms over the garage and attics where the ductwork runs, though it costs more than loose fill.
Explore serviceMost Costa Mesa calls start here, with a hot upstairs and an older attic layer that's thin, flattened or patchy.
Explore serviceOnce the gaps underneath are sealed, we top up an older attic evenly with loose fill, and that includes the edges, not just the middle.
Explore serviceWhen the whole house runs hot or drafty, I look at the attic, the walls and the floors together and tell you which one to fix first.
Explore serviceOld insulation that's soaked, stained or full of droppings comes out before anything new goes in, so the problem doesn't stay hidden up there.
Explore serviceIn houses with a raised floor, insulating the crawl space keeps cold floors from pulling heat out of the rooms above.
Explore serviceExterior walls in older houses are often empty, and we fill them through small holes that get patched afterward.
Explore serviceWe close gaps around outlets, plumbing, wiring and doors through the house, because insulation can't do its job in a draft.
Explore serviceBasements and below-grade rooms are rare here, and when we find one we pick insulation that suits walls sitting against soil.
Explore serviceThis dense foam also blocks moisture, so we use it where a wall or a floor stays damp.
Explore serviceThis softer, lighter foam fills odd-shaped spaces and quiets noise, which suits the underside of a roof over a living space.
Explore serviceFor property managers with offices, shops and rental buildings around Costa Mesa, we follow the same order of sealing first and insulating second.
Explore serviceA plastic cover on the dirt keeps ground moisture from rising into the floor framing and the insulation above it.
Explore serviceWe put the barrier on the right side of the insulation so damp air doesn't get trapped inside a wall, attic or floor.
Explore serviceBefore new insulation goes down, we seal the can lights, pipe holes and hatch so hot attic air stops leaking into the rooms below.
Explore serviceWe add insulation to a finished older house without a remodel, working through the attic, the walls or the crawl space, whichever the house allows.
Explore serviceBuilding permits here come from the city's Building Safety Division, and permit questions are theirs to answer. I check with them about your job before we set a date, and we take care of the permit when one is needed. When a permit is part of it, that step comes first and decides when we can start. Before you hire anyone, ask for their license from the Contractors State License Board, which licenses contractors in California. You can also ask whether they hold a Costa Mesa business license, which runs through the city's Finance department. We're licensed and fully insured.
We come up from Aliso Viejo early on the 73 and the 405 so we're in the attic before the afternoon heat, and we do the same work next door in Newport Beach and Fountain Valley. The price comes down to what's already up there: how many inches you have, whether it's clean enough to stay or has to come out, how many gaps need sealing, and whether you go with loose fill or foam. The schedule turns on those same things, plus a permit if your job needs one. At the estimate I write down what I find, so you know what has to happen first.
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 or crawl space, 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) 619-8040You do whenever the job needs a building permit, uses employees, or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials, under the state licensing board's rules. A bigger job can't be split into smaller contracts to get under that line. We're licensed and fully insured, so you don't have to work out which side of it your job falls on.
You apply online through TESSA, the city's system for plans and permits, and all your application information goes in there directly. Costa Mesa's building permit page says paper forms are ignored and incomplete applications get sent back, so one missing detail can cost you time.
Insulation isn't on the city's Insta-Permit list, which covers simple residential jobs like HVAC, re-pipes, water heaters, EV chargers, panel upgrades and re-roofs. That doesn't tell you whether your job needs a regular permit, so it's a question for the Building Safety Division, and on our jobs I'm the one who asks.
With blown-in loose fill, most families stay home, because the work happens up in the attic and we cover the path through the house. With spray foam, you, the kids and the pets stay out until the re-entry time the foam maker sets has passed, and I'll tell you what that is at the estimate.
We're based in Aliso Viejo and work in cities across Orange County, including the ones listed here and plenty more nearby. If your city isn't on the list, call and ask.
We're open every day, weekdays from 7 AM to 9 PM and weekends from 6 AM to 9 PM, so you can call (949) 619-8040 or use the form whenever it suits you.
If your upstairs runs hot or the bill keeps climbing, tell us what you're seeing and I'll come take a look.
