For new homes, the only question about insulating attics is how much? Local code is still R-19 but most new houses have at least an R-30. We actually recommend R-38 for the most bang for your buck & most sources still target this for our climate zone. You may see some places that recommend R-49 we can do this too, should you want.

For existing homes, insulating or reinsulating attics is a quick and easy process to add comfort & reduce utility bills. Whatever material may be in an attic (if any) can always be added to and, should removal be requested, we can vacuum out the existing material.

To estimate what's in your attic now, see our chart. As for what should be up there, we still recommend an R-value of R38 in our climate zone. Whether you want fiberglass or cellulose, it's up to you as long the manufacturer's instructions are followed, you get the R-value you pay for.
