Attic Insulation in Fair Lawn, NJ
Much of Fair Lawn was built out in the middle of the twentieth century, with Cape Cods, ranches and split-levels as common house types. Homes from that era typically have a few inches of batts or rock wool on the attic floor, far below today's target.
We measure the depth, seal the leaks at the ceiling, set baffles at the soffits and blow in insulation to R-49 to R-60. Depth rulers go in so you can see the final result.

Typical Fair Lawn attics
Mid-century houses often have recessed lights, open top plates and unsealed hatches that leak air into the attic. Finished or half-finished attics in Cape Cods add knee walls, which are a common source of cold rooms upstairs.
Cost
Attic work is priced by the square foot of attic floor, and a full job with removal, sealing, baffles and R-60 costs more than a top-up. Removing old material is priced separately.
Attic Insulation in Fair Lawn: Common Questions
How much insulation do Fair Lawn attics need?
For existing homes in our area, the target is R-49 to R-60, which is about 14 to 18 inches of blown-in material.
Do you handle knee walls in Cape Cods?
Yes. Knee walls are a common air leak and cold spot, and we seal and insulate them as part of the scope when they apply.
Does the old insulation have to come out?
Only if it is wet, moldy, contaminated or badly compressed. Dry, clean material can often stay.
How long does it take?
Most attics take one day.
