Attic Insulation

Attic Insulation

Create a Comfortable Home with Proper Attic Insulation

Do your upstairs rooms feel too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer? Do ice dams form on your roof? If your attic isn’t properly insulated, your home is working harder and costing you more every season.

Evergreen Home Performance installs attic insulation in PortlandRockland and the surrounding Southern and Coastal Maine areas, backed by building science and real-world results. Since 2006, we’ve helped thousands of Maine homeowners solve comfort issues, prevent ice dams, and lower energy bills.

How Attic Insulation Works

Insulation acts like a down jacket for your home. It slows the transfer of heat—keeping warmth in during winter and blocking heat from entering in summer.

With proper attic insulation:

  • Your home stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer
  • Upstairs rooms feel more consistent and comfortable
  • Your HVAC system runs less often and lasts longer
  • Your heat pump and ductless mini-splits work best
  • You reduce energy waste and lower monthly heating and cooling bills

And when paired with attic air sealing, insulation also helps prevent moisture buildup, mold, and ice dams—common issues in Maine homes.

Air Sealing + Insulation = Long-Lasting Attic Protection

Insulation is powerful—but without air sealing, it’s incomplete.

Most attics have hidden gaps and cracks that allow air to flow freely between the inside and outside of your home. Before adding new insulation, we seal those leaks with high-performance spray foam to stop the airflow—and help your insulation perform its best.

Together, air sealing and attic insulation create a strong, continuous barrier against heat loss, moisture, and drafts.

Creating Conditioned Attics with Attic Insulation

Want to use your attic for storage—or even future living space? A conditioned attic may be the right move.

By insulating and air sealing the roofline (rather than the attic floor), we can help you turn your attic into a more stable, usable space—perfect for storage, offices, or homes with HVAC equipment in the attic.

What’s the Best Type of Attic Insulation?

We offer a range of attic insulation materials to match your home’s needs, but in most Maine homes, we recommend:

Blown-in Cellulose Insulation

Made from recycled paper and treated with borate, cellulose insulation is fire-resistant, mold-resistant, and highly effective. It can be installed as loose-fill or dense-packed. Cellulose is eco-friendly, non-toxic, and especially well-suited to Maine’s climate—it’s the most common attic insulation installed by participants of Efficiency Maine rebate and financing programs.

Spray Foam for Air Sealing

Before we install insulation, we seal leaks with spray foam to prevent air infiltration. This critical step protects against drafts that can weaken your insulation’s effectiveness and ensures your insulation performs as designed.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Evergreen Home Performance. Everything including the initial consultation, the fabulous work crew, the office support and the final resolution was handled in a caring and professional manner. My only regret is that I did not know about them earlier. I enthusiastically recommend Evergreen to anyone with concerns about home energy use.

My experience with Evergreen was excellent. From their thorough and thoughtful initial consultation to their detailed post-work visit, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Their workmanship was top notch. Our home is now much warmer and more efficient. I highly recommend their services!

Douglas R.

Edgecomb

The Evergreen team was amazing from initial assessment and planning to the crew that came to complete the work. Our basement encapsulation is the best money we've spent on our house by far. The work was thorough and high quality. And what a wonderful group of people to work with. I highly recommend Evergreen!

Martha Bracy

From beginning to end – that is from the moment Justin McEdward stepped into our home to assess our energy conservation needs until the crew left – the Evergreen Home Performance process went absolutely smoothly. Justin made a thorough inspection and took pictures with an infrared camera. His proposal described the scope of work in detail, and he explained what we could expect the proposed work to accomplish. Our proposal was forthcoming within a couple of days, and Justin was available to discuss it and answer questions.

Adrienne Harkavy

Bryan, Dave and the entire Evergreen team are wonderfully professional, prompt and thorough. I enjoyed working with them and look forward to continued work as we upgrade our home! Thank you so much for your professionalism, fairness, time and diligence.

Evergreen came back this year to finish insulating our house. We have been remodeling and renovating an 1850s cape for several years. Their employees are very professional and pleasant to deal with. Over several years Brian Robinson has been able to schedule us in for several small areas that needed addressing and finally turning a room we used to close off in the winter into a comfortable usable space. We primarily heat with wood and since Evergreens great work our furnace has only come on ONCE this winter. Fantastic. Really satisfied customer in Thomaston.

Really great experience from start to finish with Evergreen. They helped us prioritize what needed to be completed first, and has made a significant difference in our hearing costs already. Plus they were really friendly and considerate to work with!

Amy W.

Kennebunk

From start to finish, our experience was incredible. Justin was extremely helpful. The crew was fast, friendly, and efficient. And most importantly, our home is WAY warmer and our heating is less costly. I'd highly recommend evergreen to anyone looking to upgrade their home!

Our basement was the eyesore of the house. I wanted to make improvements, but first needed to make structural, insulating and moisture mitigation improvements. Evergreen was professional and competent in taking on a complex project of not only encapsulation and insulation of basement and crawlspace, but completed needed improvements to the structural integrity of the wood floor platform above a crawlspace and brought in a concrete contractor to pour where there was once a rotting, tiered wood platform - replacing that area with a more functional and tight tiered concrete area.

East Boothbay

Evergreen completed the work at my home thoroughly and professionally. An inspector from Efficiency Maine came to inspect afterwards and described it as "state of the art" and "outstanding". The crew was very pleasant and considerate during the project. Their cleanup each day was perfect. Communications with the office were easy and reliable. I am very satisfied.

Catherine H.

South Portland

The crew members from Evergreen Home Performance each made sure to greet us every day, while maintaining their distance in this time of the pandemic. Their work took a total of nine days, spread over three weeks. Even though they were working in multiple rooms of our house, as well as the basement and attic, they were unobtrusive and always cleaned up after themselves every day. The on-sight manager kept us informed of their daily schedule so we'd know which parts of the house they'd be working on.

I would recommend Evergreen wholeheartedly because of their professionalism, their follow through, and thoughtful project planning.

Jennifer A

I was very impressed by the professionalism of this company and the workers. Brian R. was very prompt in replying to my questions; the crew was meticulous in all parts of the work and attentive to the safety aspects concerning Covid; and Brian was extremely thorough in the final inspection. My attic is now snug and warm and I've noticed that the second floor is warmer as well.

Julia S.

Rockland

Nothing but good things to say. The guys that came and did the actual work were extremely nice and did a great job. The energy audit was thorough and I was presented with multiple improvement options, I was even given ideas for improvement that Evergreen didn't offer. I never felt like I was being "sold".

Ryan Adams

We had Evergreen energy do blow-in cellulose. I was very happy with the result. They tested with blower-door before and after. House is now MUCH warmer. Also, in the time since when I've had to open walls for various access, I've been impressed with how they got the insulation packed in everywhere. I'd use them again.
