Attic Insulation
in Spicewood, TX
Attic insulation in Spicewood, 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 Spicewood Homes
Need a Attic Insulation
Hill Country houses are large, often with vaulted sections and multiple attic spaces that were never insulated to the same standard. The upstairs room that never cools is almost always sitting under the thinnest part.
We take depth readings across the whole floor rather than one by the hatch, so the map of where it is thin is a set of photographs with a tape in them, not an opinion.
In Spicewood that shows up across homes near Lake Travis and properties on acreage alike.
Our Spicewood
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.
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.
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.
What a Attic Insulation
Costs in Spicewood
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 11 homes and businesses in Spicewood 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.
Spicewood is the closest of our Austin-side towns, about 20 miles east on TX-71 and 25 minutes from the office. Every Spicewood 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
Spicewood Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Spicewood inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Unsealed Can Lights and Ceiling Penetrations
Every unsealed fixture is a hole between the house and the attic. We seal them while the insulation is open rather than blowing over the top of them.
Odors From the Vents at Start-Up
A musty or stale smell for the first minute of a cycle usually lives on the coil or in the return, not in the room. We photograph it.
Cedar Pollen Held in the Return
Between December and February the pollen that got past the filter sits in the return and comes back into the room at every start-up. Cleaning does not stop what is outside, it stops the house recirculating it.
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.
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.
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 Spicewood
Things Spicewood 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.
Two counties, one town
Spicewood addresses fall in both Burnet and Travis County, which matters for permits and for the paperwork a buyer's inspector files. It does not change anything about the work or the price.
Wood-burning fireplaces that get real use
A fireplace burning several cords a winter builds creosote fast, and that is the one case where an annual sweep is not a formality. We measure the buildup, photograph it and show you the number before quoting.
Propane gas logs
Most of the area is off the gas mains. Propane log sets need the flue, screen, burner and pilot checked once a year, and the yard tank supplier will not do that part.
Second homes that sit closed
A lake house shut for a season comes back with humid, still air in the ducts and a dryer vent that has been a wildlife entrance. If you open the house on a schedule, we can put the visit on the same schedule.
Getting to Spicewood
From Marble Falls
Spicewood is the closest of our Austin-side towns, about 20 miles east on TX-71 and 25 minutes from the office. That makes same-day slots realistic here in a way they are not in Round Rock, and it is the reason we can come back out to finish a chimney repair without charging a second trip.

Questions
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 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 Spicewood?
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.
Do you serve all of Spicewood?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Spicewood is the closest of our Austin-side towns, about 20 miles east on TX-71 and 25 minutes from the office. That makes same-day slots realistic here in a way they are not in Round Rock, and it is the reason we can come back out to finish a chimney repair without charging a second trip.
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 Spicewood and one written quote.
