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 →

Old Town Arithmetic

A Town Where Some Attics Were Built Before R-Values Existed

Stony Plain’s housing runs from genuine century homes to subdivisions finished last year, and the attic conversation is completely different at each end of that range.

Old Town: insulation added later, to whatever standard applied that decade

The character homes off Main Street were built when a ceiling was insulated with sawdust, shavings, or nothing at all. Almost every one of them has had material added since — but added in layers, in different decades, to different standards, and often only over the easy middle of the attic where a person could stand up. What you find in an Old Town attic is a stratigraphy, and it is almost always thinner over the outside walls than it is in the centre, which is the exact reverse of what you want.

The open-field edge: wind that nothing slows down

Stony Plain sits in worked farmland, and the wind that carries harvest dust into the town’s ductwork does something else on its way past the roofline. With no meaningful windbreak on the town’s open sides, air pushes hard in under the soffits and drives loose-fill back from the eaves. On exposed streets we regularly find eight or ten good inches in the middle of an attic and almost bare joists at the perimeter.

Westerra, Silverstone and Graybriar: built to the number

The newer subdivisions were closed up to the current effective‑R standard and generally need nothing. Their risk is moisture rather than depth — a tight envelope, a bath fan that terminates somewhere it shouldn’t, and a cold attic will produce frost every winter regardless of how much insulation is on the floor.

The same shop, the same drive

We are minutes away here, which is why the inspection is genuinely free rather than nominally free. The furnace and duct visit is the other half of the same question about where a Stony Plain home loses its heat.

The Old Town rule of thumb

If your house predates 1960 and nobody has been up there with a ruler this century, assume the perimeter is thin even if the middle looks fine. That edge is where the heat leaves and where the ice dams start.

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.

Stony Plain 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 Stony Plain 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 Stony Plain 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.

Stony Plain FAQ

Attic Insulation Stony Plain: Frequently Asked Questions

Not in itself — layers are normal and dry old material is still working. What matters is the depth, and specifically the depth over the outside walls, because the historical habit was to insulate the part of the attic a person could comfortably stand in. We measure the perimeter as carefully as the centre, and in Old Town that is usually where the story is.

It does, and it’s the most Stony Plain-specific thing we find. Wind with nothing to slow it down pushes in under the soffits and scours loose-fill back from the eaves. Baffles and a properly rebuilt edge are often worth more here than extra inches in the middle.

No — and this is worth being blunt about, because insulation is what we sell. Frost on the underside of the sheathing is warm damp air escaping from the house into a cold attic. Adding depth on top traps it and makes it worse. That is an air-sealing and ventilation job, and we’ll show you the photographs and point you at the right trade.

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.
