How an attic actually fails.

Your attic is more important than you think. It's an area of your home that you can't see, which is why we are here. If these four steps below are not done correctly, it can lead to very costly repairs and potential health issues.

01

Air leaks come first

Top plates, plumbing, wire holes, the bath fan and the access. Every gap in the attic floor works like a chimney. More air leaves a house through the attic than anywhere else.

Insulation only slows heat

It doesn't stop air. Blow more on top of open leaks and the leaks keep running underneath it. Sealing comes before insulating.

Frost and ice dams are caused by leaks

Warm moist air leaks through your ceiling and hits the cold roof deck and freezes. Snow on your roof melts from underneath and refreezes at the eaves. Not a gutter problem. Not a roof problem.

The numbers

Most attics here started around R-19. Compressed, dusty and inconsistent. Our climate zone calls for between R-49 to R-60 for insulation depth (17"-20"). We insulate to R-60 and leave the depth marker in the attic so you can see it.

Three ways we fix an attic.

The Attic Health Check tells us which one your house needs. You get the findings, the photos and a written price before anything is scheduled. Same crew, same materials, same warranty on all three.

Attic Refresh
For attics that are dry and clean, just short on insulation.
Most Fargo–Moorhead homes built before 2000 have 6 to 8 inches of insulation up there. Refresh brings the attic up to R-60 without tearing anything out.
What we do
  • Air-seal the attic hatch, top plates, plumbing and wiring penetrations
  • Install baffles at the eaves so the soffit vents keep breathing
  • Blow in new insulation, over the existing insulation, to an R-60
  • Depth markers on the rafters so you can verify it yourself
What it fixes
Cold upstairs rooms, a furnace that runs all night, heating bills climbing every winter.
Attic Restore
Most common
For attics with frost, ice dams, moisture or a bathroom fan issues.
This package is when homeowners start seeing real results. We do a deep dive through your attic to address any issues you can't see.
What we do
  • Pull back the insulation and air-seal the whole attic floor: top plates, chases, can lights and the access
  • Route every bath and kitchen fan outside through insulated ducting
  • Correct the ventilation: clear blocked soffit intake, install baffles at every rafter bay
  • Build an insulated, weatherstripped hatch cover
  • Blow new insulation to R-60 over the sealed floor
What it fixes
Ice dams and icicles, frost on the roof deck, ceiling stains, drafts you can feel at the ceiling fixtures.
Attic Reset
For attics with rodent damage, mold or insulation that has been wet.
Contaminated insulation can't be covered. It gets removed, the attic gets cleaned, and it's rebuilt as a new system on a sealed floor.
What we do
  • Vacuum out all existing insulation and debris. Everything is hauled away.
  • Clean and treat the framing and attic floor; seal off rodent entry points
  • Everything in Restore: full air sealing, fans ducted outside, ventilation corrected, insulated hatch
  • New insulation to R-60
What it fixes
Odors when the furnace runs, droppings and nesting, insulation that was soaked by a roof leak or years of frost.
R-60 on every job. That's the finished depth marked on the rafters, not an estimate.
Before and after photos of every area we touch, sent to you when we're done.
20-year transferable workmanship warranty. It stays with the house if you sell.
