Quality Aliso Viejo Insulation Services seals and insulates attics, walls and crawl spaces in San Clemente, CA. I come out to look myself, and our own crew does the work in the right order, gaps sealed first.
San Clemente's older homes sit on the streets closer to the Pier and T-Street, and the newer two-story tracts climb the hills inland. We come down from Aliso Viejo past San Juan Capistrano, and the calls we get here split along that same line.
Near the beach, I usually find a few inches of tired insulation, gaps around old ceiling fixtures and eave vents half buried in dust, because a lot of those houses went up before anyone gave the attic much thought. Up the hill, the complaint is a hot upstairs, since the ductwork runs through the attic and the bedrooms sit right under a roof that bakes all afternoon. Which kind of house you have decides where I start.
Spray foam insulation for attics where the ductwork runs overhead, and for the rafters over a room above the garage that never cools off.
Explore serviceAttic insulation for the older houses near the beach that often have just a few inches up there, laid even out to the eaves once the gaps are closed.
Explore serviceBlown-in insulation, loose fill we blow through a hose, to top up a thin attic without tearing anything out.
Explore serviceHome insulation for the whole house when the upstairs is hot and the power bill is high, starting with a look at the attic, walls and floors to see where the heat gets in.
Explore serviceInsulation removal for material soaked by an old roof leak or full of droppings, which has to come out before anything new goes down.
Explore serviceCrawl space insulation under the older raised-floor houses, where cold floors in winter usually trace back to a bare crawl space.
Explore serviceWall insulation for older homes built with little or nothing in the walls, added through small openings so you can keep living in the rooms while we work.
Explore serviceAir sealing services, closing the gaps around pipes, wires and fixtures before any insulation goes in, for drafty rooms anywhere in the house.
Explore serviceBasement insulation for the hillside houses with a lower level dug into the slope, where the walls against the dirt tend to feel cold and damp.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam insulation, a dense foam that blocks moisture, for spots that stay damp, like a lower level set against a hillside.
Explore serviceOpen-cell foam insulation, a lighter foam that seals air and quiets sound, for rooflines and inside walls that stay dry.
Explore serviceCommercial insulation for property managers looking after rentals, offices and shops around the city, scheduled around the people who use the building.
Explore serviceCrawl space vapor barrier, a sheet laid over the dirt under a raised floor, so ground moisture stays out of the framing and the insulation above it.
Explore serviceVapor barrier installation in walls and ceilings that need moisture stopped on one side, checked against what's already there so we don't trap water.
Explore serviceAttic air sealing on its own, for houses with decent insulation that still feel drafty because the ceiling below the attic is full of small openings.
Explore serviceRetrofit insulation for older beach houses and remodels, adding what the house never had without opening finished ceilings or walls any more than we need to.
Explore serviceIn San Clemente, the city's Building and Safety Division issues permits for alterations and remodels, and it says permits are generally required for electrical, plumbing, mechanical or structural work. Insulation isn't one of the examples the city gives either way, so I check with the division about your job, and when a permit is needed we take care of it and the start date waits on the city. Before anyone climbs into your attic, ask for their California contractor license, and check that they hold a San Clemente business license, which the city requires of anyone doing business here.
What moves the price is what's already up there, so the number changes with how much old material has to come out, how many gaps need sealing, how many inches are down now and whether foam is worth it. The schedule turns on any permit and on how tight the attic is, since low eaves under tile roofs slow everyone down, and on the older blocks near the beach, parking the blower truck on a narrow street takes some planning. It's the same drive and the same work we do up in Lake Forest and over in Laguna Niguel, and the quote I write on site lists what I found and what has to happen first, so your number comes from your own attic.
Tell us what's going on, whether it's a hot upstairs, a drafty room or a power bill that keeps climbing, and we'll get back to you within one business day. I come out myself for a free quote at your home, look at what's in the attic and write down what I find, so you know what has to happen first. There's no pressure to book, and you can call (949) 619-8040 if you'd rather talk it through.
(949) 619-8040Yes, the California Contractors State License Board requires a state license when a job needs a building permit, uses any additional workers, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. Ask to see it before anyone climbs into your attic. We're licensed and fully insured.
A California licensed contractor can get the permit, or you can get an owner builder permit if you're doing the work yourself and complete the city's owner builder verification. When we do the job and the city says a permit is needed, we take care of it, so you're not left sorting it out.
The city lists construction hours as Monday to Friday, 7 am to 6 pm, subject to any permit conditions, with no work on Sundays or city holidays. We plan attic days inside that window, and since attics heat up through the afternoon, we like to start early anyway.
Usually not, unless we're spraying foam. Blown-in insulation and air sealing happen up in the attic, so most families go about their day downstairs. With spray foam, everyone, kids and pets included, stays out until the re-entry time, the foam maker's wait before you can come back inside, and I give you that time 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 more nearby. If your city isn't on the list, call anyway and ask.
Call (949) 619-8040 or use the contact form to describe the project and ask about permits, so I can check with the city's building office before I come out and you're not waiting on it later.
If the upstairs runs hot or the attic hasn't been touched in years, send us a note and I'll come take a look.
