Insulating Van Nuys homes
Van Nuys is where our trucks start every morning. The neighborhood is full of 1950s ranch homes with low-slope roofs and attics that are tight to crawl. In many of them we find the original rock wool flattened to two or three inches, so a clean-out or a full blown-in top-up makes a big difference to back bedrooms that face the afternoon sun.
What we recommend in zone 9
Inland valley attics regularly pass 140°F in summer. We aim for R-38 at minimum and R-49 for homes with ducts in the attic or rooms that overheat, and we often add a radiant barrier. Every Van Nuys 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.

What homeowners near Van Nuys say
What people tell us after the first hot afternoon — or the first cold night.
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.
They put a radiant barrier on the rafters and topped up the insulation the same day. The upstairs used to feel like an oven at 6pm. Now the AC finally shuts off at night.
We had rats in the attic for years before we bought the house. They vacuumed out all the old stuff, cleaned everything and put fresh insulation in. The smell in the hallway is completely gone.
