Did you know insufficient insulation could be costing you money every month? Your HVAC units could be working overtime to compensate for leaking air. At Installed Building Products Portland, our experts will determine whether your home needs additional or newer insulation and, when necessary, can remove all existing insulation before starting your project.
Ensuring proper installation is the key to keeping your home comfortable and your monthly costs low, especially in homes with attics, as they’re the main source of heat loss.

Retrofit Insulation for Existing Homes
For retrofit or re-insulation services, IBP Portland’s contractors can help you select the best insulation material for your home.
Spray foam: This polyurethane-based insulation is sprayed wet into the home and expands while drying into a thick foam. This is often a great choice during re-insulation projects, as it can be installed in crevices and hard-to-reach areas.
Cellulose: This environmentally friendly option consists of up to 85% recycled materials and requires less energy during production. When retrofitting your insulation, cellulose can be injected into finished walls as an easy way of increasing resistance to heat flow.
Fiberglass: Available as loose-fill or batts, this insulation is made of tiny glass fibers and is often installed in attics but can also be used for wall insulation and crawl space insulation.

Where Can You Install Retrofit Insulation?
Our contractors can provide insulation solutions for all areas of your home, and especially those most vulnerable to the elements:
Walls: When your walls allow air to leak into and out of your home, your home becomes less energy-efficient. Ensuring your walls are properly insulated keeps your heated and cooled air inside and reduces the amount of noise that can travel between walls.
Attics: Your attic is likely the biggest contributor to your home’s energy loss. By retrofitting your attic insulation in knee walls and floors, you can help ensure that your heating or cooling isn’t escaping and that your home can remain at a comfortable temperature affordably and efficiently.
Crawl spaces: Homeowners with both ventilated and unventilated crawl spaces need to make sure these areas are insulated. If your home’s crawl space wasn’t originally insulated during construction, you may be losing significant energy and allowing moisture to infiltrate your home.
Trust IBP Portland to provide insulation retrofitting in these areas, as well as sheds, garages, floors and more.
