Attic Insulation
in West Lake Hills, TX
Attic insulation in West Lake Hills, 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 West Lake Hills 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 West Lake Hills that shows up across custom-built luxury homes and multi-story residences alike.
Our West Lake Hills
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 West Lake Hills
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
West Lake Hills Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on West Lake Hills inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
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.
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 West Lake Hills
Things West Lake Hills 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.
Selling in Eanes ISD
Houses here get thorough buyer inspections, and on a sixty-year-old system the report will say something about the ducts, the flue or both. Getting it in writing first, with photos, keeps it a known quantity instead of a negotiation.
Houses with several systems of different ages
We price per system and say plainly which ones are worth cleaning and which are past that. On an original system from an addition, sealing and repair usually beats cleaning.
Wood-burning fireplaces in older hillside houses
Many were built before modern liner practice. Before the first cold front the question is not soot, it is whether the flue is sound, and that is a Level 2 look with a camera, not a sweep.
City of West Lake Hills permits
The city reviews exterior work closely, including what goes on a roof. If a cap or a vent hood needs approval, we hand you the spec sheet and a photo for the application.
Getting to West Lake Hills
From Marble Falls
West Lake Hills is about 40 miles from the office, TX-71 east to Bee Cave and then in on Bee Cave Road or Loop 360, roughly fifty minutes. It shares the day with our Bee Cave, Lakeway and Rollingwood work. The one thing we ask about in advance is access: narrow hillside driveways and tight turnarounds decide which truck comes out.

Attic Insulation in West Lake Hills
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 West Lake Hills?
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 West Lake Hills?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. West Lake Hills is about 40 miles from the office, TX-71 east to Bee Cave and then in on Bee Cave Road or Loop 360, roughly fifty minutes. It shares the day with our Bee Cave, Lakeway and Rollingwood work. The one thing we ask about in advance is access: narrow hillside driveways and tight turnarounds decide which truck comes out.
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 West Lake Hills and one written quote.
