Professional Attic Insulation in Novi, MI
In your Novi home, an invisible battle is being fought every day against energy loss. The single biggest front in this battle is your attic. An under-insulated attic is like leaving a window wide open year-round, allowing the expensive conditioned air from your living space to escape freely. This forces your heating and cooling systems to work overtime, leading to high utility bills and an uncomfortable home.
New Roof, Inc. provides professional attic insulation services that are one of the most effective ways to win the fight against energy waste. We are Novi’s attic performance specialists, offering a comprehensive solution that dramatically improves your home’s comfort and provides a tangible return on your investment.

Is Your Attic Working Against Your Wallet and Your Comfort?
Many Novi homes, even those built just a couple of decades ago, are significantly under-insulated by today’s standards. Your home is likely a candidate for an upgrade if you experience:
- Shockingly High Utility Bills: Your heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer feel disproportionately high for the size of your home.
- Uneven Temperatures: The second story of your home becomes an uncomfortable “hot zone” in the summer, or certain rooms always feel cold and drafty in the winter.
- Recurring Winter Ice Dams: You consistently see a buildup of ice along your roof’s edge, a direct symptom of too much heat escaping from your attic and melting the snow on your roof.
- A Constantly Running HVAC System: Your furnace or air conditioner cycles on and off constantly, struggling to maintain the temperature you’ve set on the thermostat.
The Tangible Returns of an Insulation Upgrade
Investing in proper attic insulation is a powerful home improvement that delivers benefits all year long.
Lower Your Monthly Utility Bills
By creating a thick, seamless thermal barrier on your attic floor, we dramatically reduce the amount of heat transfer. This means your HVAC system runs less, which translates directly into measurable, year-round savings on your energy bills.
Solve Winter Ice Dam Problems
The number one cause of ice dams is a warm attic. Our insulation keeps your home’s heat in your living space where it belongs, ensuring your attic stays cold. A cold attic means the snow on your roof doesn’t melt, stopping the destructive freeze-thaw cycle that creates ice dams.

Frequently Asked Questions About Insulating Your Attic
What is R-value and how much should my Novi attic have?
R-value is a measure of an insulation’s ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better it insulates. For our climate zone in Novi, MI, a target R-value between R49 and R60 is recommended for attics. Many older homes have R19 or less, leaving significant room for improvement.
I have some old, flat insulation in my attic. Does it need to be removed?
In most cases, no. As long as your existing insulation is dry and free of mold or contamination, our high-performance blown-in insulation can be installed directly on top of it. This is the most common and cost-effective method to build up to the recommended R-value and achieve maximum efficiency.
Why is air sealing so important?
Think of air sealing as plugging the holes in a bucket before you fill it with water. As the ENERGY STAR® program explains, stopping air leaks from your living space into the attic is a critical first step. It prevents the “chimney effect” of warm air loss and ensures your new insulation can perform at its peak.
