An attic is measured, not guessed at

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.

County Attics Face Everything At Once

Our shop is in Parkland County, so this is not a market we visit — it is the one we live in. Acreage attics are the hardest working and the worst treated in the region, and they combine every problem the towns get one at a time.

Long, low roofs mean a lot of ceiling

Country homes lean toward sprawling bungalows and additions built on over the years. That produces an enormous ceiling area relative to the heated volume underneath it, which means the attic is a far bigger share of your heat loss than it would be in a two-storey in town. On a property already heating with propane or oil, or running long furnace cycles on a windy night, the attic is usually the single most expensive thing about the house.

Nothing breaks the wind

A house on an open quarter has no neighbouring rooflines to shelter it. Wind drives in under the soffits at full strength and scours loose-fill back from the eaves, and because these roofs are long, that stripped perimeter is a great deal of ceiling. It is routine here to find a decent-looking attic that has effectively no insulation for the first several feet in from the walls.

Additions, and the joins between them

Acreage homes get added to. Each addition brings its own attic space, its own insulation vintage, and a join between the two that frequently has neither insulation nor ventilation continuity. Those joins are where we find the biggest single gaps on any property type we work on.

You are not the only one using the attic

Country attics get occupants. Deer mice in particular are a genuine consideration out here — not just a nuisance, because the dust raised from droppings and nesting material is the actual health risk, which is why nobody should be up there sweeping it themselves. Our guide to telling deer mice from house mice covers identification. Where an attic is occupied, new insulation does not go over the top of it — it comes out first, and that is removal.

Why the free inspection is worth more out here

Because county attics fail in ways you cannot see from the hatch: stripped perimeters, uninsulated joins between additions, and occupants. We are based in the county, so there is no travel charge on the visit or the work.

What’s Included

What A Blown-In Top-Up Actually Involves

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.

A measured depth, not an estimate

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.

Fiberglass or cellulose — you choose

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.

Baffles, and the gap at the eaves

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.

Depth markers and a photo record

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.

Our Process

How An Attic Top-Up Goes

01

We inspect and measure — free, and before any price

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.

02

You get one written number

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.

03

We prep before anything gets blown

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.

04

We blow to depth, then photograph it

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.

What we check before we blow — and tell you about

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.

Parkland County Pricing

No Hidden Fees. No Upsells. Ever.

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.

The attic inspection is free

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.

One written number, all in

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.

R-50 or R-60 — priced both ways

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.

Never priced by the bag

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.

Why we won’t quote an attic over the phone

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 Parkland County address for free and tell you the truth — including, quite often, that your attic is fine and you should keep your money.

Signs You’re Short

Does Your Parkland County Attic Actually Need Topping Up?

You can see the ceiling joistsIf the tops of the joists are visible above the insulation, you’re at roughly R-20 or less — about a third of what a new home here is built to.
Icicles and ice dams every thawHeat escaping through the ceiling melts the snow on the roof, which refreezes at the cold eave. The ice is a symptom; the attic is the cause.
The upstairs can’t hold temperatureBedrooms that run cold in a January snap and hot in July are usually losing through the ceiling, not the windows everyone blames.
Frost or drips in the attic come springWarm damp air leaking up from the house freezes on the underside of the sheathing all winter, then melts all at once. It gets mistaken for a roof leak most years.
Nobody has touched it since the house was builtAn attic blown to the standard of 1985 or 1998 has also spent decades settling. What was installed and what’s measurable today are two different numbers.
The roof is being replaced anywayThe crew is already there and the attic is already disturbed. It’s the cheapest time to deal with the insulation you were going to deal with eventually.

Parkland County FAQ

Attic Insulation Parkland County: Frequently Asked Questions

No, and there never has been on anything we do. The shop is in Parkland County — these are our own roads. That is also why we can afford to come out, measure an attic properly, and tell you it doesn’t need work, which is an outcome a company driving from the city can’t really afford to reach.
It makes the inspection more important, not the work harder. Each addition has its own attic vintage, and the join between two roof structures is where we most often find a gap with no insulation and no ventilation continuity at all. Those joins are frequently the single biggest heat loss on a county property, and they are invisible from either hatch.
Then the insulation needs to come out rather than be topped up, and please don’t go up and start sweeping. Deer mice are common out here and the health risk comes from breathing dust disturbed from droppings and nesting material, which is exactly why we vacuum under containment. We’ll photograph it, quote the removal, and put new material in once the attic is genuinely clean.
Edmonton and the surrounding region sit in climate zone 7A. A new home here needs an effective R‑59 attic, or about R‑49.2 if it has an HRV — the code trades approved ventilation against envelope performance. Those are effective numbers, which is why a compliant attic is usually blown deeper than the label suggests. The full breakdown, including what R‑50 and R‑60 look like in inches, is in our guide to what Alberta code requires in an attic.
Either is defensible. The first R‑20 does most of the work, so the jump from R‑50 to R‑60 saves comparatively little on its own — but because you’ve already paid for the crew and the equipment, that last stretch is nearly all material and it’s the cheapest R-value in the job. If budget is the constraint, R‑50 isn’t a compromise; it’s the threshold the rebate programmes themselves picked.
Usually, yes — and that’s the normal job. Old fiberglass or cellulose that’s dry and undisturbed is fine to build on; it hasn’t stopped working, there just isn’t enough of it. The exceptions are insulation that’s wet, mouldy, matted flat, or contaminated by rodents, which needs to come out first. That’s insulation removal, and we’ll tell you at the free inspection which of the two you’re looking at.
Neither, honestly. Blown fiberglass resists settling and doesn’t mind a draughty attic; blown cellulose packs in tighter around framing and top plates and is made from recycled paper. Both reach the same R-value at the depths we install. We’ll recommend one for your specific attic and then install whichever you decide on — we don’t earn more either way.
No. We do attics, and only attics. Drill-and-fill wall insulation is a genuinely different job with different risks in an older Alberta home, and we’d rather be good at one thing than adequate at two. If walls are your problem we’ll say so and you can bring in someone who specialises in it.
We stop, we don’t disturb it, and we tell you what you’re looking at. Vermiculite in a pre-1990 attic may contain asbestos, and removing it is regulated abatement work in Alberta requiring a licensed contractor — that is not us and we won’t pretend otherwise. You’ll get photographs and a plain explanation, and there’s no charge for the visit.
Most homes are a single visit of a few hours, start to finish, and you can stay in the house while we work. The hose runs from the trailer through the attic hatch, so the crew’s traffic through your home is limited to that one route, which gets protected before anything starts.
