Attic Insulation
in Cottonwood Shores, TX
Attic insulation in Cottonwood Shores, TX. We measure the depth you actually have, photograph the bare spots and the gaps, and price removal and new blown-in separately, per square foot, in writing.
Why Cottonwood Shores Homes
Need a Attic Insulation
Attics on the water take humidity as well as heat, and damp blown-in loses most of its value while still looking like insulation from the hatch. That is why we measure with a probe and photograph the bare spots rather than taking a look from the ladder.
Houses that sit closed part of the year make it worse, because nothing is running to move the air. Where the material is wet or contaminated it comes out; where it is simply settled we say so and top it up, which costs less.
In Cottonwood Shores that shows up across homes between Lake Marble Falls and Lake LBJ and original small-lot builds from the sixties and seventies alike.
Our Cottonwood Shores
Attic Insulation Process
Every visit starts with the free inspection. You see the photographs before you see a price, and the price is written down before anything is touched.
Decide removal honestly
Old insulation comes out when it is contaminated, wet or hiding damage. Where it is simply thin, topping it up is cheaper and we say so.
Protect the path in
Sheets from the door to the hatch and a sealed vacuum for removal. Nothing that comes out of the attic travels through the house loose.
Seal, then blow
Penetrations sealed first, then blown-in to a full measured depth, with baffles kept clear at the eaves so the roof still breathes.
Photograph the finished floor
A picture of the finished depth with the measure in it, and the ductwork left visible rather than buried.
Check the baffles at the eaves
Insulation blown into the soffit vents stops the roof breathing and traps moisture. We make sure the air path at the eaves stays open.
Look at the attic hatch
An uninsulated hatch is a hole the size of a window in your ceiling. It is cheap to fix and almost always skipped.
What a Attic Insulation
Costs in Cottonwood Shores
Measured and quoted per square foot
Removal and new blown-in are separate lines and both are per square foot of attic, measured on the free inspection. We write down the depth we found and the depth we are proposing, so the number is arithmetic rather than a guess.
The inspection is free and there is no call-out fee. If the honest answer is that nothing needs doing, you get that in writing and pay nothing.

What We Find in
Cottonwood Shores Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Cottonwood Shores inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Lint Packed in the Dryer Vent
Clothes take two cycles, the top of the dryer runs hot and the outside flap barely opens. That run gets cleared from the dryer to the cap.
Rooms Added Without Their Own Supply
One end of the house never cools no matter what the thermostat says. No amount of cleaning fixes that, so we measure the runs and quote the duct work separately.
Creosote and Cracked Flue Tiles
A fireplace that smokes back or has not been swept in years. We sweep, inspect and photograph the flue before the first cold front.
Thin or Uneven Attic Insulation
Bare spots, settled blown-in and unsealed can lights are the reason upstairs rooms never cool. We measure the depth on every attic visit.
Dust That Comes Back a Week After Cleaning
Grey fuzz on the registers and the furniture again. The supply lines and the return plenum are holding what the filter never caught.
Disconnected or Crushed Attic Ducts
A supply line blowing into the attic or a flattened flex run behind the water heater. Found on the inspection, sealed or replaced on the spot.

in Cottonwood Shores
Things Cottonwood Shores homeowners ask about that have nothing to do with the work itself, and everything to do with selling, insuring or getting an association form approved.
Small lots and short duct runs
On the original builds the whole system is short enough that cleaning is quick and honest. If the run is clean we say so and you owe nothing for the look.
Homes rented out by the weekend
Management companies want a dated service record for the dryer vent and the fireplace. We leave a written report with photos on every visit, which is the document they are asking for.
Wildlife in vents at ground level
A dryer hood a foot off the ground is an invitation. Screens and a working flap are the cheapest thing we sell and the most often missing here.
Selling the house
The inspection report a buyer orders has separate lines for the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust, and the duct system gets looked at along with the equipment. A written report with photos before you list keeps all of that out of the negotiation.

Questions
Do I need to remove the old insulation?
Only if it is contaminated, wet or hiding damage. If it is simply thin, topping it up costs less and works nearly as well. We photograph what is up there and tell you which case yours is.
Will new insulation lower my summer bill?
It is the single biggest lever on a Central Texas summer bill, but only once the holes in the ceiling are sealed. Blowing over unsealed can lights buys much less than the brochure suggests, so we seal first.
Do you work around the ductwork?
Yes, and we leave it visible rather than burying it. Buried flex is how a crushed or disconnected run goes unnoticed for years.
How long does the work take?
A measured inspection is under an hour. Removal and new blown-in on a typical attic is most of a day, and we tell you which it is before booking rather than after.
Is the house liveable while you work?
Yes. The route from the door to the hatch is sheeted, removal runs through a sealed vacuum, and nothing loose travels through the house.
Do you serve all of Cottonwood Shores?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Cottonwood Shores is five miles from the office on RM 2147, about ten minutes. We pass through it on the way to Horseshoe Bay, so visits here get grouped with that side of the lake.
Can you do this on the same visit as the ducts?
Yes, and most people do. The same crew handles ducts, dryer vents, chimneys and attic insulation, so it is one trip to Cottonwood Shores and one written quote.
