Most of our attic jobs start and finish on the same day. Here is how that day usually goes, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Morning: arrival and protection
The crew arrives in the morning window we agreed on. We walk the job with you, confirm the plan from your written quote, and protect the path to the attic hatch with drop cloths. The insulation machine stays in the truck; only a hose comes into the house, usually through a door or window.
Prep in the attic
Before any insulation goes in, we do the prep: eave baffles to keep soffit vents open, covers or clearances around older recessed lights and flues, and air sealing at top plates and penetrations. If the job includes removal, that happens first, and it adds time.
Midday: installation
We blow or place insulation to the measured depth for your target R-value, working from the far corners back toward the hatch. Depth rulers go in so you can check the result.
Afternoon: clean-up and handover
We clean the hatch area and walkway, staple an attic card at the hatch listing the material, R-value and depth, and send you before-and-after photos. Then we walk you through what we did.
Do you need to be home?
Someone should be home at the start and the end. In between, you can carry on with your day. For spray foam jobs, plan to be out of the house while the foam cures — we will give you exact timing.
