Insulation Installation in Lakewood, CO
Need insulation installed in Lakewood? Thermal Home Solutions is a Lakewood insulation contractor that installs attic, blown-in and spray foam insulation, radiant barriers and air sealing. We start with a free home energy audit to measure what you have now, then recommend the upgrades that will make the biggest difference in comfort and energy use.
Lakewood sits right against the foothills, so homes here deal with cold nights, strong sun and big swings in temperature from one day to the next. If your attic is under-insulated or air is leaking around lights, vents and the attic hatch, your furnace and air conditioner have to work much harder to keep up.
Better insulation can help:
- Even out hot and cold rooms
- Keep upstairs bedrooms cooler in summer
- Cut drafts and heat loss in winter
- Lower the load on your heating and cooling system
Insulation for Lakewood Homes of Every Age
Many Lakewood homes were built in the decades after World War II, when attic insulation levels were much lower than today’s recommendations. Ranch and split-level homes in neighborhoods along Wadsworth, Union and Kipling often have thin or settled attic insulation, while newer homes in areas like Green Mountain can still have gaps around recessed lights and attic access points. We evaluate each home individually and recommend attic insulation, blown-in insulation, spray foam or air sealing based on what we find.
Attic, Blown-In and Spray Foam Insulation in Lakewood
Lakewood is in climate zone 5, where ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 to R-60 of insulation in the attic. During your audit we check your current R-value, look for air leaks and moisture issues, and explain exactly what we’d add and why.
For most open attics, attic insulation with blown-in material is the most cost-effective upgrade. Spray foam works well for rim joists, cathedral ceilings and tight spaces where air sealing matters most, and a radiant barrier can help reflect summer heat away from upper floors.
Because we’re based in Lakewood, we can usually get out to your home quickly and handle the job from inspection to cleanup.
Lakewood Insulation FAQs
Answers to the questions Lakewood homeowners ask us most about insulation.
How do I choose an insulation contractor in Lakewood?
Look for a local contractor that inspects your attic before quoting, tells you the R-value you have and the R-value you need, and includes air sealing in the job. Thermal Home Solutions is based in Lakewood and starts every project with a free home energy audit.
How much attic insulation does a Lakewood home need?
Lakewood is in climate zone 5, where ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 to R-60 in the attic. Many older Lakewood homes have much less than that.
Should I choose blown-in or spray foam insulation?
Blown-in insulation is usually the most cost-effective way to bring an open attic up to R-49 or more. Spray foam costs more but insulates and air-seals in one step, which makes it a good fit for rim joists, cathedral ceilings and tight spaces.
How long does an attic insulation job take?
Most attic insulation projects take about a day, depending on the size of the attic and whether old insulation needs to be removed first. We’ll give you a timeline after your audit.
