Attic Insulation
in Llano, TX
Attic insulation in Llano, 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 Llano Homes
Need a Attic Insulation
Ranch houses have big attics and long duct runs through them, so attic temperature drives the whole system. An attic at 140 degrees with thin insulation means the ducts are losing cooling before it ever reaches a register.
Dust is the second factor. Open land and unpaved drives put fine grit into an attic through every gap, and insulation that has been breathing that for years is worth photographing before anyone decides whether it stays.
In Llano that shows up across older homes in town near the courthouse square and houses along the Llano River alike.
Our Llano
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.
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.
Find where the heat is leaking
Ceiling penetrations, can lights, the attic hatch and the top plates. Insulation over an unsealed hole does very little, and we show you which holes yours has.

Costs in Llano
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.

Air Duct Busters is a family-run crew working out of Marble Falls since 2018, with a second base in Bertram. We have been inside 10 homes and businesses in Llano itself, and more than 870 across Central Texas since we started. The owner, Gary Abdullaev, is a CSIA certified chimney sweep and an HVAC technician, and he is on the trucks, not just on the paperwork.
Llano is thirty-three miles from the office on RM 1431 and TX 29, about fifty minutes on the back roads. Every Llano visit starts the same way: we open the system, photograph what is actually in it and hand you a written price per line before anything is touched. If the honest answer is that it does not need cleaning, you get that in writing and pay nothing.

What We Find in
Llano Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Llano inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
A Dryer Run Too Long for Its Cap
Long slab and crawl runs ending in a small hood restrict the flow whatever the dryer does. We measure the run and say plainly if the cap is the wrong one.
Fine Outdoor Dust From Unpaved Drives
On acreage the filter fills far faster than any schedule allows for. We show you what came out of the return instead of quoting an interval from a brochure.
A Return Pulling Air From the Attic
An unsealed return plenum draws hot attic air and everything in it straight past the filter. Sealing it is usually cheaper than cleaning the system twice a year.
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.
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.
A Blocked or Missing Flue Cap
Without a cap the flue takes rain, leaves and nests. It is the cheapest part of the system and the one most often absent when we get on the roof.

in Llano
Things Llano 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.
Old masonry flues
An unlined or cracked flue on an older house is a safety finding, not an upsell. We photograph the inside of the flue and show you before anything is priced.
Ranch properties and unfiltered returns
If the return draws from the attic, the filter is not the problem. Sealing the return is usually cheaper than cleaning the system twice a year.
Distance and scheduling
Llano is a proper drive, so we group jobs and offer a window rather than a vague day. If we are already coming out, adding a dryer vent or a flue to the same visit costs no second trip.
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 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 Llano?
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 Llano?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Llano is thirty-three miles from the office on RM 1431 and TX 29, about fifty minutes on the back roads. We cover the whole of Llano County from that run, both in-town streets and properties well outside the city limits.
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 Llano and one written quote.
