Quality Aliso Viejo Insulation Services is an insulation contractor based in Aliso Viejo, CA, and we work in Newport Beach, sealing attic gaps, clearing out old or dirty insulation and adding new insulation where rooms run hot.
Newport Beach has a wide range of houses for one city. Down near the beaches and the two piers, we find older cottages and duplexes on small lots, many of them remodeled more than once, with low attics and layers of insulation from different decades. Up the hills and around Upper Newport Bay, the homes are bigger and newer, and the ductwork usually runs through the attic, right where the summer heat sits.
People here call us for the same reasons they do next door in Costa Mesa, a hot upstairs, a drafty room over the garage or a power bill that keeps climbing. The house decides what we do about it. A low beach attic may only leave room for careful hand work, and on a hillside house the ducts overhead change what I'd recommend.
We spray foam into tight rooflines and rooms over the garage, where there isn't enough space to lay loose fill deep enough to do any good.
Explore serviceMost calls here start with a hot upstairs, so I check how many inches are already up there and what shape they're in before we add anything.
Explore serviceOpen attics on the newer homes usually take blown-in insulation, loose fill blown through a hose, which fills around wiring and framing without gaps.
Explore serviceWhen a house has been added onto over the years, we look at the attic, walls and floors together so the one cold room doesn't get missed.
Explore serviceWe bag out old insulation that's been soaked or full of droppings, because new material laid over it just keeps the problem in the house.
Explore serviceOlder raised-floor houses near the water often have cold floors, and insulating underneath helps once the crawl space is dry.
Explore serviceOlder cottages sometimes have empty walls, and we fill them through small holes so the finished rooms stay finished.
Explore serviceWe do air sealing, closing the gaps around can lights, pipes and the attic hatch, so the new insulation isn't fighting a draft.
Explore serviceThe few basements we see near the coast get insulation picked for damp walls, so nothing holds moisture against the concrete.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam, a dense foam that blocks moisture, is what we use in damp spots like a crawl space close to the bay.
Explore serviceOpen-cell foam is softer and lighter, and it suits rooflines and inside walls that stay dry, where you want air sealed without the cost of the dense kind.
Explore serviceFor property managers with offices or rentals in the city, we plan the work around tenants and business hours.
Explore serviceWe lay a vapor barrier over a damp crawl space floor so ground moisture stays out of the framing and the insulation above it.
Explore serviceWe add a vapor barrier where a wall or floor faces moisture, and we leave it out where it would trap water instead of stopping it.
Explore serviceBefore new attic insulation goes in, we seal the wiring holes, flues and chases, because that's where hot attic air slips into the rooms below.
Explore serviceRetrofit work adds insulation to a finished home, so on a remodeled beach house we work around what you've already built.
Explore serviceWhen an insulation job needs a permit, it comes from the city's Permit Center, so the start date waits on their review. Permit questions are the building office's call, so I check with them about your job and we take care of the permit when one is needed. Before you hire anyone, you can look up their state license with the Contractors State License Board and ask whether they've filed for the city's business license, which the city requires even of contractors based outside Newport Beach. We're licensed and fully insured, and our work is satisfaction guaranteed.
On the streets near the beaches, houses sit close together and parking is tight, so we plan where the truck and hose go before the crew shows up. The price here moves with how much old insulation has to come out, how many gaps need sealing, how easy the attic is to reach and whether foam or loose fill fits the house, and the schedule turns on those same things plus any permit. We do the same work down the coast in San Clemente, and here too I look at your attic in person and write down what I find, so your quote is built on what's actually up there.
Tell us what's going on, whether it's a hot upstairs, cold floors or a high power bill, and we'll get back to you within one business day to set a time. I come to your home myself, look at the attic and write down what I find, so you know what has to happen first and in what order. The quote is free with no pressure to book, and if you go ahead, our own crew does the work.
(949) 619-8040For most attics here, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in insulation is the better buy, because it costs less and does the job once the air leaks are closed. Foam costs more but seals air while it insulates, so it starts to make sense when your ductwork runs through the attic, as it often does in the newer homes up the hill. I'll tell you which one your attic calls for after I've been up there.
For blown-in insulation and air sealing, you can usually stay home while we work. Spray foam is different, because the foam maker sets a re-entry time, the wait before people and pets can come back inside, so we plan the job around it and tell you ahead of time when to be out and when everyone can come home.
A top-up over clean, dry insulation is usually our shortest job, and it runs longer when old material has to come out first or there are a lot of gaps to seal. I write down what I find at the estimate, so you'll know before we book what the crew has to do and in what order.
The city holds the property owner responsible for making sure inspections happen at the right points during the work, though the contractor can make the call. The city's permit and inspection page says a day or two of notice is usually needed, so when your job has a permit we plan the work around those inspection dates.
We're based in Aliso Viejo and work in cities across Orange County. These are the ones with their own page, and we work in plenty more nearby.
Our hours run into the evening every day of the week, so you can call (949) 619-8040 after work or send the form whenever it suits you.
If something in your attic has you wondering, send us a note and I'll come take a look.
