Heat pours through an under-insulated attic all summer long. A proper attic insulation upgrade keeps your home cooler and cuts the hours your AC runs every day.

Uneven coverage causing hot spots in certain rooms? Blown-in material fills corners and gaps that rigid batts miss, giving you consistent coverage across the entire attic floor.

Whole-home comfort starts with a complete insulation assessment. We evaluate every area - attic, walls, crawl space, and basement - and create a plan that fixes the biggest losses first.

Old, wet, or pest-damaged insulation does more harm than good. We remove it safely and prepare your space for a fresh installation that actually performs.

Auburn's humidity rises straight up through an uninsulated crawl space, making floors cold and moisture levels climb. Crawl space insulation cuts energy loss and protects your floor structure.

Drafty walls make certain rooms impossible to keep comfortable. We add insulation to exterior walls without major demolition, reducing heat transfer and outside noise at the same time.

Gaps around pipes, wires, and framing let conditioned air escape all day. Air sealing closes those hidden pathways, making your insulation work the way it was designed to.
Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We ask a few quick questions about your home and what has been bothering you - high bills, uneven temperatures, drafts. We respond within 1 business day to schedule your free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.
We come to your home, look at your attic, crawl space, and any other areas you are concerned about, and measure what is there. We check for moisture, pests, and air leaks before recommending anything. You get a written estimate that explains what will be done, what materials will be used, and what it costs - no guessing.
On installation day, the crew arrives, protects your home, and completes the work. Most jobs finish in a single day. Before we leave, we walk you through the finished work so you can see exactly what was done and ask any questions. Your home is ready to use immediately - and you will feel the difference within the first few days.
We hold an active Alabama contractor license and carry full liability insurance and workers' comp coverage. You can request our credentials before the first person sets foot on your property.
Every estimate starts with a real visit to your home. We measure, assess, and give you a written quote before we ask you to decide anything. No phone-only quotes, no surprise line items.
We live and work here. We know Auburn's older housing stock near campus, the humidity challenges in crawl spaces around town, and what materials perform best in Alabama's climate.
Every job ends with a full walkthrough before we leave. If something is not right, we come back. We do not consider a project closed until you are satisfied with what was done.

"Our attic had barely any insulation left - it had settled and thinned out over 30 years. They came out same week, gave us a clear written estimate, and finished the whole job in one day. Our upstairs bedrooms are actually comfortable this summer for the first time in years."
Marcus T., Auburn, AL - Attic Insulation
"Our crawl space was a mess - musty smell, insulation falling off the joists, obvious moisture. They pulled out all the old material, installed a vapor barrier, and sprayed the rim joists. The musty smell is gone and the floors feel warmer. Worth every dollar."
Denise P., Opelika, AL - Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
"We manage a small commercial building near campus that had high utility costs year-round. Auburn Insulation came out, assessed the whole building, and handled both the spray foam and the air sealing in two days. Our HVAC bills dropped noticeably the following month."

Insulation questions answered plainly - no contractor jargon.
If you can see the wooden floor joists when you look into your attic, the insulation is too thin. In Auburn's climate zone, the U.S. Department of Energy recommends attic insulation deep enough to bury those joists completely - most homes built before the 1990s fall well short of that level.
Auburn receives about 56 inches of rain per year - nearly 20 inches above the national average. That moisture rises through open crawl spaces into floor joists and living areas, causing wood rot, mold, and higher humidity indoors. A properly sealed and insulated crawl space stops that cycle before it starts. The EPA's guide to mold and moisture explains what that moisture buildup means for your home's air quality.
Air sealing is not optional if you want insulation to perform as advertised. Insulation slows heat from moving through solid surfaces, but it cannot stop air from moving through holes. Sealing gaps around pipes, wires, and framing first - then insulating on top - is the difference between a 10% improvement and a 30% improvement on your energy bill.
Open-cell foam is softer and less expensive - it works well in interior walls and attics where moisture is not the main concern. Closed-cell foam is harder, denser, and also acts as a moisture barrier, making it the better choice for crawl spaces and rim joists in Auburn's humid climate. The right choice depends on where it is going and what problem you are solving.
Yes. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s in Auburn's established neighborhoods were built to energy standards that are now considered well below adequate. Many have crawl space foundations and minimal attic insulation. Retrofit insulation - adding material to an existing home without demolition - is designed specifically for this situation and often delivers the biggest improvement in comfort per dollar spent.
Alabama Power has offered rebates for qualifying home insulation upgrades through its energy efficiency programs - check their current offerings before you schedule work, since availability and amounts change. Federal tax credits for insulation may also apply depending on the scope of your project. Ask your contractor what documentation they will provide to support your application.

Auburn sits in Climate Zone 3. The Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-60 for attics in this zone - significantly more than what most pre-1990 homes have. Your contractor should measure what you have and specify exactly what depth they will reach.
Signs include musty odors rising from the floor, floors that feel cold in winter, insulation hanging loose from the joists, or any visible standing water or condensation. Auburn's heavy rainfall and clay soil make these problems more common here than in drier regions.
You can add on top of existing insulation if it is dry, undamaged, and free of pests. If it is wet, compressed, contaminated, or has a musty smell, it should come out first. The U.S. Department of Energy insulation guide covers this decision in plain terms.

Auburn is a fast-growing city in east-central Alabama, home to Auburn University and a population that has grown from around 53,000 in 2010 to over 78,000 today, according to U.S. Census data. The city sits about 60 miles east of Montgomery and is directly connected to Opelika to the east. That growth has produced a wide range of housing stock - from 1950s brick ranch homes in neighborhoods near Toomer's Corner and downtown, to newer subdivisions on the city's north and west sides built in the last decade.
Auburn gets about 56 inches of rain a year - nearly 20 inches above the national average - and the city's clay-heavy soil means that moisture often ends up against foundations and under crawl spaces rather than draining away quickly. Summers push into the low 90s with high humidity from May through September, and while winters are mild overall, hard freezes do happen - average January lows sit in the mid-30s, and pipes in older homes without proper insulation can freeze during cold snaps. Many of Auburn's established neighborhoods, particularly those close to Jordan-Hare Stadium and campus, include homes built in the 1960s and 1970s that were never insulated to today's energy standards.
Auburn Insulation works on homes across the entire city - whether you are in one of the older neighborhoods near campus, a rental property close to the university, or a newer subdivision on the city's edges. We know what Auburn homes look like on the inside, and we bring that local knowledge to every estimate and installation we do here.
