Professional Attic Insulation in Milan, MI

Do you feel like you’re constantly fighting to keep your home warm in the winter, only to be rewarded with a shockingly high heating bill? Does your second floor turn into an oven during the summer months? For many homeowners in Milan, the primary culprit for this energy waste and discomfort is right above their heads: an under-insulated attic. Heat naturally rises, and without a sufficient thermal barrier, the air you pay to heat escapes directly through your roof.

At New Roof, Inc., we provide professional attic insulation services that are one of the single most effective ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. We view your attic as a complete system, ensuring that your insulation and ventilation work in harmony for optimal performance.

Attic Insulation in Milan, MI

The Hidden Costs of an Under-Insulated Attic

Inadequate insulation doesn’t just make you uncomfortable; it actively costs you money and can even damage your home.

  • Inflated Energy Bills: An under-insulated attic is the largest source of heat loss in most homes, forcing your furnace and air conditioner to run longer and work harder, which is directly reflected in your monthly utility costs.
  • Uncomfortable Living Spaces: Poor insulation leads to inconsistent temperatures throughout your home. This results in drafty rooms, cold floors in the winter, and stuffy, hot upstairs rooms in the summer.
  • The Formation of Ice Dams: In the winter, heat escaping into your attic warms the underside of your roof, melting snow. This water refreezes at the cold eaves, creating heavy and destructive ice dams that can damage your roof, gutters, and walls.

Our High-Performance Insulation Solution

Our process is designed to maximize your home’s thermal performance from start to finish.

Comprehensive Attic Evaluation & Air Sealing

Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your attic. We measure your current insulation levels (R-value) and identify any air leaks from your living space below. Before adding any insulation, we meticulously perform air sealing on these gaps—around pipes, light fixtures, and hatches—to stop expensive conditioned air from escaping.

Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation

We use high-performance blown-in fiberglass insulation to create a seamless, thermally efficient blanket in your attic. This method is superior to traditional batts as it perfectly fills every nook and cranny, leaving no gaps for heat to pass through. It won’t settle over time, ensuring lasting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Attic Insulation

What is R-value and how much do I need in Milan?

R-value is simply a measurement of an insulation’s ability to resist the flow of heat. The higher the R-value, the better it insulates. For our climate zone in Milan and Southeast Michigan, the U.S. ENERGY STAR® program recommends an R-value of R49 to R60 for attics to achieve optimal energy efficiency.

Can you add new insulation on top of my existing insulation?

Yes, in most situations. As long as your existing insulation is dry and free of mold or pests, adding new blown-in insulation over the top is the most common and cost-effective way to bring your attic up to the recommended R-value. Our initial inspection will confirm the best approach for your specific home.

How long does an attic insulation project take?

An attic insulation upgrade is one of the fastest and most impactful home improvement projects. For an average-sized home in Milan, our professional crew can typically complete the entire process—including air sealing and blowing in the new insulation—in just a few hours.
