Proper Attic Insulation Extends Roof Life and Reduces Energy Costs
If your house was built before 1980, the attic insulation probably falls short of what a Michigan winter calls for. A thin layer lets heat escape from your living space into the roof deck, and that warmth is what starts ice dams at the eaves. Left alone, ice dams lead to leaks that need roof repair.
Kincaide Roofing installs blown in attic insulation and can time the work with a roof replacement, so the whole system gets handled at once. We check the existing insulation depth, the ventilation and the air sealing at the attic floor before recommending anything.
Bringing your attic up to the R-49 to R-60 range recommended for Michigan typically lowers heating and cooling costs. It also helps your roof last longer, because an even deck temperature means fewer freeze and thaw cycles on the shingles.
Blown In Insulation
Cellulose or fiberglass loose-fill blown into the attic floor to achieve the target R-value without disturbing existing framing.
Air Sealing
Before adding insulation, we find and seal the spots where air leaks through the attic floor. This is the most important step for preventing heat loss and moisture problems.
Ventilation Assessment
Proper ridge and soffit ventilation works in combination with insulation to keep the roof deck temperature uniform. We check both as part of every insulation inspection.
