Insulation Company in Burbank, CA
Insulation in Burbank is a different job than it is down in Los Angeles or over in Glendale, because the housing stock and the heat load are unique. Most Burbank homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s as single-family ranch styles, and very few of them got meaningful insulation when they went up. Add Burbank’s inland valley summers, where temperatures routinely cross 100°F, and you get upstairs rooms that are barely livable by August. We’re Aspen Attic Insulation, and we work on those homes every week. Call (669) 220-7044 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank’s housing stock is dominated by ranch homes from the 1940s through the 1960s, and the original builders weren’t thinking about hundred-degree summers or rising Burbank Water and Power rates. Many of these attics have a thin layer of fiberglass batts that has compressed over 60-plus years to the point of doing almost nothing. The result is a house that heats up by noon and never cools down. When we get into a Burbank attic, we usually find R-11 or less where today’s code calls for R-30 or higher.
There’s also a geography issue. In the hillside neighborhoods above Glenoaks Boulevard, a lot of homes have cathedral ceilings and flat or low-slope roofs with no attic cavity at all. Those upstairs rooms can run 15 to 20°F hotter than the downstairs in summer. Retrofitting those homes means thinking through spray foam under the roof deck or adding insulation above the ceiling, not just rolling out batts in an open attic. That’s the kind of work that changes how a house feels by early evening.
Our Main Burbank Services
Most Burbank homeowners reach out about two things: air-sealing and upgrading attic insulation, or using spray foam to stop the heat before it enters the living space. Here’s what each job involves here.
Attic Insulation in Burbank
Attic insulation in Burbank usually means pulling out the old, settled batts, air-sealing the penetrations, and blowing or rolling in new material to bring the attic to R-38 or better. In ranch homes from the 1940s and 1950s, the attic access is often a small hatch in a hallway ceiling, and the roof pitch is low, so the work is straightforward but tight. The payoff is immediate: lower cooling costs and a house that holds its temperature at night. For a full breakdown of materials and pricing, see Attic Insulation in Burbank.
Spray Foam Insulation in Burbank
Spray foam insulation is the right call for Burbank homes with cathedral ceilings, flat roofs, or converted garages and bonus rooms that sit directly under the roofline. Closed-cell foam creates an air and vapor barrier in one step, which matters in Burbank because the summer heat is dry but intense, and the winter nights in the 40s are cold enough to make thermal bridging obvious. We apply it carefully and let it cure fully. Learn more at Spray Foam Insulation in Burbank.
Blown In Insulation in Burbank
Blown in insulation (loose fibers blown into the attic cavity to fill every gap) is the fastest, cleanest way to bring a Burbank attic up to modern performance. It works especially well in the standard 1950s ranch attic with a low slope and lots of odd framing angles, because the material settles into every corner without cutting. We typically blow Owens Corning fiberglass or GreenFiber cellulose, depending on what the attic needs. For details on R-values and coverage, see Blown In Insulation in Burbank.
