Blown-in attic insulation across Leduc, on some of the most wind-exposed ground in the region. Free attic check, measured depth, and one written number before anything starts.
Depth is the only number that matters, and it takes ten minutes with a ruler to establish. See exactly how we measure, what we blow and where the code numbers come from on the main attic insulation page.
Leduc sits on flat, open land beside an international airport, with very little between the town and the wind. That single fact shapes what we find in its attics more than any other.
Air driven in under the soffits does not stop politely at the edge of the insulation. It pushes through the first few feet of loose-fill, scours it back toward the middle of the attic, and steadily strips depth from the perimeter — the exact strip of ceiling that sits over your outside walls and does the most work. In Leduc we routinely open a hatch to a respectable-looking attic and then find nearly bare joists two feet in from the eaves. Baffles and a properly rebuilt perimeter are often the most valuable part of the job here, ahead of raw depth.
These are the town’s settled neighbourhoods, insulated to the standards of their decades and thinned by both time and that wind. They are also where the biggest heating-bill improvements are available. Homes here frequently measure under half the current requirement once the perimeter is taken into account rather than ignored.
Leduc’s modern growth was built to current code and generally does not need topping up. It is, however, exposed to exactly the same wind, and a new attic can still lose its edges if the baffles were skipped or crushed during construction. That is a small, cheap fix and worth finding.
Because the failure is at the perimeter, a homeowner poking their head through the hatch sees a perfectly good attic and concludes everything is fine. It is the one local condition that genuinely cannot be self-diagnosed from the hatch, and it takes us ten minutes to settle. The furnace and duct visit covers the other half of the same heat-loss conversation.
The view from the opening is the deepest part of the attic. The part that matters is two feet in from the eaves, and on exposed streets here it is often a fraction of what you can see.
Insulation is one of the easiest trades to fake, because nobody climbs up to check. Here is what we do, and what you get to see afterwards.
We take depth readings at several points across the attic — not one convenient spot by the hatch — because settling is never even. You get the readings and the photos before you get a price, whether or not you hire us.
Blown fiberglass doesn’t settle much and stays put in a windy attic. Blown cellulose fills tighter around framing and top plates and is recycled. Both hit the same R-value; we’ll tell you which suits your attic and then blow whichever you pick.
An attic needs air moving from the soffits upward. Insulation blown into that gap chokes the ventilation and causes exactly the moisture problem it was supposed to prevent. We keep the eave channel open, with baffles where they’re missing.
Marked rulers get left standing in the insulation and the finished depth is photographed. Anyone — you, a home inspector, a buyer’s agent five years from now — can put their head through the hatch and read what was installed.
Depth readings across the attic, a look at the eave gap, the hatch, the bath-fan ducting and the state of what’s already there. You get the photos and the numbers regardless of whether you book the work.
Square footage, the depth you have, the depth you’re going to, the material, and a single all-in price. Not a per-bag rate that moves once the truck is in your driveway.
Baffles at the eaves, a dam around the attic hatch so the new material doesn’t spill out every time you open it, and depth markers set across the span.
The hose runs through the hatch and the material goes in to the marked depth. Then the finished attic is photographed against the markers, and those photos are yours.
Bath and range fans that vent into the attic instead of through the roof, gaps around the hatch and ceiling penetrations, and any sign of moisture. Burying those problems under fourteen inches of new insulation makes them worse and hides them. If your attic has one, you’ll hear about it before we start rather than after — and if it’s outside what we do, we’ll say so and you can call the right trade.
Insulation is the one thing we don’t publish a flat rate for — and it’s worth explaining why, because everything else on this site has a number attached to it.
Measured depth at multiple points, photographs, and a straight answer about whether you actually need the work. No charge, no obligation, and you keep the numbers even if you hire somebody else.
Material, labour, baffles, hatch dam and cleanup in a single figure before we start. If the attic turns out different from the quote, we stop and talk to you — the price doesn’t quietly grow.
We quote the two depths side by side so you can see what the extra costs. Once you’ve paid for the crew and the trailer, the incremental depth is mostly material — it’s the cheapest R-value you’ll ever buy.
Per-bag pricing is how an insulation quote doubles. Bags are our problem. Depth across your ceiling is what you’re buying, and that’s what the number covers.
Because the honest answer depends on three things nobody knows over the phone: your attic’s square footage, how much insulation is up there now, and how evenly it’s spread. Anyone who gives you a firm insulation price without going up there is either guessing or planning to revise it later. We’d rather drive to your Leduc address for free and tell you the truth — including, quite often, that your attic is fine and you should keep your money.
