When you need to insulate your home, we recommend starting with an area that is a significant source of energy loss in many homes: the attic.
Never ask “where can I find attic insulation contractors near me?” again. If you live in northwestern Oregon or the Vancouver, Washington area, make the team at Installed Building Products Portland your first call! Our professionals offer different insulation materials to help make your attic (and entire home) as energy-efficient as possible. We install:
As areas prone to energy loss, attics are good places to start when it comes to insulating your home. If your attic doesn’t have enough insulation, you can lose a lot of energy—and that can mean higher monthly utility bills!
There is no “right” type of insulation specifically for attics—different types of insulation have different advantages.
Loose-fill (blown-in fiberglass or cellulose) and batt insulation are typically installed in an attic.
Blown-in fiberglass insulation is very effective at stopping heat transfer.
Cellulose insulation has similar qualities to fiberglass and is environmentally friendly as well.
Spray foam insulationis superior at filling small cracks and holes and covering uneven spacing between floor joists and around wiring, piping and ductwork.
What Is the Recommended R-Value for Attic Insulation?
Here in the Portland area, we are in zone 4. When there is no existing insulation, ideal R-value is R38–R60. Our team can assess your space and help you determine the right solution for your attic.

Loose-fill (blown-in fiberglass or cellulose) and batt insulation are typically installed in an attic. Although not as common, spray foam can also be installed in this space. If the ducts in your home are in unconditioned space, such as the attic, be sure to seal and insulate them to maximize energy efficiency.
