Insulating Santa Monica homes
Santa Monica rarely sees extreme heat, so the goal here is year-round comfort: fewer drafts, warmer floors in winter, less dust and street noise. Many Sunset Park and Ocean Park cottages have almost nothing in the attic, and a properly sealed R-30 to R-38 layer is a big change.
What we recommend in zone 6
Near the coast, summers are mild, so the payoff comes from air sealing and a consistent layer that stops drafts, dust and winter heat loss. R-30 to R-38 is plenty for most homes here. Every Santa Monica job starts with a free inspection: we measure your existing insulation, check for rodents, moisture and wiring issues, and photograph the attic so you can see it for yourself.

Reviews
What homeowners near Santa Monica say
What people tell us after the first hot afternoon — or the first cold night.
Our Silver Lake place was drafty and dusty no matter what we did. They sealed a ridiculous number of holes in the attic before insulating. Way less dust, and the heater does not run all night anymore.
We assumed being near the beach meant insulation did not matter. The cottage was freezing every winter. Now it holds heat, and it is a lot quieter with the street noise.
The back bedroom used to hit 88 every afternoon in August. After they blew in the new insulation, it stays within a couple of degrees of the living room. My daughter actually sleeps in there now.
