Make your home more comfortable, energy-efficient, and healthy—without a full remodel.
Why Re-Insulate Your Home?
If your home feels drafty, your energy bills are rising, or your HVAC system is running constantly, your insulation may be the issue. Over time, insulation can degrade, settle, or become damaged, especially in older Portland homes. Retrofitting your insulation is a smart, cost-effective way to:
Lower your monthly energy bills
Improve indoor comfort year-round
Reduce noise and allergens
Boost your home’s resale value
How Do I Know If I Need New Insulation?
You might need retrofit insulation if you notice:
Cold floors or uneven room temperatures
Drafts around windows or doors
High heating or cooling costs
Moisture or mold in your attic or crawl space
Pest infestations
Your home was built before 1990 and hasn’t been re-insulated

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add insulation over existing insulation?

Most projects take 1–2 days, depending on the size of your home and the areas being insulated.
Will I need to leave my home during the process?
