Attic Insulation
in Highland Haven, TX
Attic insulation in Highland Haven, 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 Highland Haven 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 Highland Haven that shows up across waterfront homes on Lake LBJ and small established streets inside the village alike.
Our Highland Haven
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.
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.
Note the bath and kitchen fans
A fan venting into the attic instead of outside puts moisture straight into the insulation. We photograph where each one actually terminates.
Measure what is there
Depth readings across the attic, not one reading by the hatch. Settled blown-in, bare joists and wet patches all get photographed with the tape in the shot.
What a Attic Insulation
Costs in Highland Haven
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
Highland Haven Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Highland Haven inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
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.
A Coil That Never Fully Dries
Near the water a system that runs in short bursts leaves the coil damp between cycles. That is where the smell starts, and it shows up in a photo before it shows up in the room.
Wasps and Birds in Hoods and Caps
A dryer hood with a stuck flap and an uncapped flue are the two most inviting openings on the house. We clear them and fit screens rather than clean the same nest twice.
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.

in Highland Haven
Things Highland Haven 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.
Constant-level lake, constant humidity
Lake LBJ does not drop the way a fluctuating reservoir does, so the humidity next to the water is steady all year. We photograph the coil and the return rather than guess at what the smell is.
Flue caps on the water side
Salt is not the issue here, constant damp is. Caps and dampers on the lake side need looking at more often than the book interval, and we photograph them before we quote.
Boathouse and shop dust
A boathouse or a workshop attached to the house puts fine dust into the return. Sealing the return is usually cheaper than cleaning twice a year.
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.

Attic Insulation in Highland Haven
Questions
Do you seal before you insulate?
Always. Penetrations, can lights and the top plates are sealed first, because blowing new material over an open hole buys much less than it should.
How much does attic insulation cost in Highland Haven?
Removal and new blown-in are priced per square foot of attic and quoted separately, because they are separate jobs. The square footage and the depth are measured on the free inspection and written down, so you can check the arithmetic yourself.
How deep should attic insulation be here?
Central Texas attics want a full blown-in depth across the whole floor, and most of the houses we open are well under it because the material has settled over the years. We measure yours and write the number down whether or not you buy anything.
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 serve all of Highland Haven?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Highland Haven is seven miles from the office, about a quarter of an hour on RM 1431. It sits on the same run as Granite Shoals and Sunrise Beach, so jobs on that shore get grouped together.
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 Highland Haven and one written quote.
