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.

How It Works →

Forty Years Apart

The Gap Between Old Sherwood Park And New Sherwood Park Is Enormous

Strathcona County grew in two big pushes, and you can read which one a house belongs to from the attic hatch without being told the address.

The original hamlet: Glen Allan, Mills Haven, Broadmoor, Sherwood Heights

These were built when Sherwood Park was still becoming Sherwood Park, and their attics reflect it — insulated to a modest original standard and then left to settle for half a century. They are the homes where the upstairs never quite keeps up in a cold snap and where the furnace runs longer than the neighbours’ for the same square footage. Measured depth here is routinely a third of the current requirement, and the improvement is the most noticeable of any work we do.

The eighties and nineties middle ring

Brentwood, Craigavon, Regency Park, Westboro and Woodbridge Farms sit in between. Decent attics, honestly built, and now thirty to forty years into their settling. Most need a straightforward top-up rather than anything dramatic — this is the version of the job where the numbers work most comfortably, because there is already a sound base to build on.

Emerald Hills, Summerwood, Aspen Trails, Salisbury Village

The modern east side was built to current code and generally measures well. As everywhere, the risk in a tight new home is moisture rather than depth. We check the ventilation path and the bath-fan terminations while we’re up there, and if that is what’s wrong we will say so rather than sell you insulation that would make it worse.

Living beside the Industrial Heartland

Sherwood Park sits next to one of the largest industrial concentrations in Canada, and an attic is an enormous unfilterable sponge with a permanent air supply. Over decades, insulation in any home accumulates whatever the outside air carries — here that is ordinary regional dust and, in the bad years, wildfire smoke fines. It is a good reason to look at very old insulation properly rather than simply burying it, and where the material is genuinely loaded, removal is the honest recommendation.

Which side of the county are you on?

Glen Allan, Mills Haven and Broadmoor: expect to be short, often dramatically. Emerald Hills and Summerwood: expect to be fine. Everything in between: expect a straightforward top-up. We measure for free either way.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sherwood Park 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 Sherwood Park 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 Sherwood Park 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.

Sherwood Park FAQ

Attic Insulation Sherwood Park: Frequently Asked Questions

It is the first place to look, and in the original Sherwood Park neighbourhoods it is usually the answer. A ceiling at a third of the current standard loses heat faster than any furnace can comfortably replace it, which is why those homes run longer cycles than newer houses of the same size. Depth is a cheaper fix than any equipment.

Not in any dramatic way, but it is a fair reason to look at very old material rather than blow over it blind. Attic insulation is effectively a giant filter that never gets changed, so decades of whatever the outside air carries ends up in it — regional dust, and smoke fines in the heavy wildfire years. If it’s genuinely loaded, we’ll recommend taking it out; most of the time it’s fine to build on.

You’re not, and the visit is free. Newer east-side homes almost always measure well, so the honest outcome is usually us telling you to spend the money elsewhere. What makes the trip worthwhile is the small number of homes where we find a bath fan blowing into the attic or a blocked ventilation path — caught early, that saves the insulation you already have.

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.
