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.

Evergreen is a terrific company to deal with. Polite and efficient crews, meeting deadlines and major reduction in our heat bills. They corrected a lot of issues we suffered from doing work with a shoddy building contractor. We would recommend them to anyone.

Evergreen Home Performance shows its expertise from start to finish. Evergreen did three house projects in winter/spring/summer 2020 for me, attic insulation, crawl space under a porch insulation, and basement foam/vapor barrier. From my initial discussion with Bryan, I understood the reasons for choosing different types of insulation, the associated costs, and time estimates. Evergreen scheduled in advance, came when they said they would, and the crews were highly professional in their work and demeanor.

We just finished a large project of air sealing and reinsulating our 1890s basement and attic which had been completely renovated 8 years ago but still felt cold and lacked proper energy assessment and corrections. We met with Justin in December and were very impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and communication skills and knew Evergreen was who we wanted to work with. Dave was our on hands project manager and was excellent. The office staff has been quick to respond and helpful as well when needed.

Last week, my oil company asked if we were using some other kind of fuel because our usage was so much less than they had expected We are very happy with the results; the house is much more comfortable

We had a fantastic experience working with Evergreen to insulate our roof this winter. Everyone was extremely friendly throughout the process - the crew at our home worked hard, were approachable with questions, and the team leader even showed me around the project to point out specific areas they were working to improve.

Joel Wentz

Thanks Evergreen Home Performance for helping to make our home more efficient. Many thanks as well to Bryan for the initial walk through and recommendations to make our home more efficient and to Dave, Roland, and Jacob for a job that was done professionally and courteous.  We were amazed at the level of efficiency and everyday they made sure to protect our floors, carpets, and furniture. We had daily discussions with Dave about progress and what was being done and where they were at in the project.

Carol Fink

Very easy process, start to finish.  Friendly, professional, and really know their stuff.  They made some improvements to our condo and we were very happy with how it played out.  Would definitely recommend them.

Clayton Eames

Working with Evergreen was a dream! Professional, knowledgeable, and super clean work. Communication was fast and service impeccable. The bedroom floors in our 1960's split ranch will be warm with the new insulation between them and the garage. Bring on the snow! (not really, but sort of)

Jess Dee Proctor

A thorough inspection of our (older) house and its energy needs. Competent and personable work crew.

Jacob Watson

Evergreen did an amazing job insulating our historic home. Their professional staff worked hard to ensure the tough areas in the attic were covered, and clearly communicated their progress. We are seeing the results with our discounted heating bills. Thank you, Evergreen!

Thorough, smart, informative, integrated, and communicative -- that's how my experience was with Evergreen even with the covid interruption midstream. The team picked up where they left off, insulated basement and air sealed attic and knee wall in 100' temps under the eaves! This business group was a pleasure to work with.

Led by Brian Robinson, the Evergreen Home Performance team just completed an insulation refit at my home. It was truly a great experience from start to finish, a period of time that was a fraction of the time that I originally anticipated due to the team's unbelievable work habits and professional knowledge of their tasks. As impressive were the communication skills and friendliness of each and every member of the team.

Anne W.

Rockport

Highly recommended. Our heating usage is now less than half what it was before we had our roof insulated. Evergreen was knowledgeable, friendly, and left no trace they were ever in our house. Not only is our heating bill much lower now, but our home is generally more comfortable year-round with less temperature fluctuations. Money well spent.

RC Lations

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.

We absolutely loved our experience with Evergreen. The team was incredibly kind, professional and great to work with. We're very impressed with the quality of work of the Evergreen team and how easy they made everything! Our house had barely any insulation ahead of this project and the results are amazing. Insulating the attic, walls and basement with Evergreen allowed us to tear a 50-year-old furnace, ductwork and oil tank out of the basement and now heat the home with new heat pumps. Evergreen also added 100 sq ft of clean, new storage space to the attic!
