Wall Insulation
Services in Portland & Rockland, ME
Last year, we helped more homeowners insulate their walls with Efficiency Maine insulation rebates than any other Maine insulation company. 6,000+ projects completed since 2006. test
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.
Step 1: Precision Drilling
We make small, precise 2.5-3” access holes—either inside (often behind baseboards or in closets) or on the exterior (behind siding or shingles). These openings are just large enough to install insulation but small enough to repair neatly.
Step 2: Dense-Pack Cellulose Installation
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.
Step 3: Careful Restoration
Once the insulation is installed, we patch and restore each access point, including replacing siding on exterior walls. For both exterior and interior jobs, we leave the areas caulked, primed, and paint-ready. Meanwhile, your home will be more comfortable and energy-efficient!
