Request an estimateColorado Springs: older attics, newer subdivisions
Colorado Springs is a big city, and the calls we get from it are just as mixed. Closer to the middle of town we crawl into older houses where the attic holds a few inches of whatever went in when the house was built, packed down over the years and pushed around by every cable guy since. Out in the newer subdivisions it's usually a two-story house with a bonus room over the garage, ductwork running through the attic, and a homeowner asking why upstairs never feels like downstairs.
We work the same way in Security-Widefield and the cities around it, but the house decides the job. Its age tells us what's probably up there, and its layout tells us whether sealing the gaps and topping up with loose fill we blow in through a hose will do, or whether ductwork in the attic makes foam worth the extra money.
What to sort out before insulation work in Colorado Springs
Building permits in Colorado Springs come from the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, not the office we deal with in Pueblo, and it says most home improvement projects need one. Its advice is to check with the department before starting any project, so that's our first step, and if your job needs a permit we pull it and line up the inspection, which puts that step ahead of the crew on the calendar. You can also check any contractor here two ways, that they're registered with the department for permit work and that they hold a city business license from the City Clerk's Office, which you can look up on the city's business license page.
The price turns mostly on what's already in your attic and whether it can stay, and the schedule turns on the permit question and how much has to come out before anything new goes in. I give you your own figure once I've looked at the space, not before. We do the same work in Fort Carson and Fountain, and the calls from there sound a lot like the ones from here.
Services in Colorado Springs, CO
Attic insulation
Older houses near the middle of town often have a few inches left in the attic, packed thin at the edges where the roof comes down. We seal first, then bring the depth up evenly, edges included, and keep the eave vents clear so the attic can still breathe.
Attic air sealing
Can lights, plumbing pipes and a loose attic hatch let house air leak straight up, and insulation laid over those gaps just ends up fighting a draft. We find them and close them before any insulation goes down.
Home insulation
When the whole house is drafty, with cold floors downstairs and a hot upstairs, the fix is rarely in one spot. Our home insulation work starts with the attic, walls and crawl space looked at together, so we fix them in the right order.
Spray foam insulation
In the newer two-story houses, the room over the garage is the one people call about, and ductwork running through the attic is often part of the reason. Foam costs more, but it seals and insulates in one pass, so that's where we'll suggest it.
Insulation removal
Old insulation that got soaked by a roof leak or turned into a mouse hotel has to come out, because new material on top just buries the problem. We pull it out, clean up what's underneath and start fresh.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors in houses built over a crawl space usually trace back to an open, bare space underneath. We seal the gaps down there and insulate it, so the floor stops pulling heat out of the rooms above.

Frequently asked questions
How much does attic insulation cost in Colorado Springs?
There's no honest number until we've seen your attic, because the price turns on what's already up there. Sealing the gaps and topping up clean loose fill is usually the cheaper route, while pulling out soaked or mouse-filled insulation adds labor. Foam costs more but seals while it insulates, and it mostly pays off when the ductwork runs through the attic.
How do I know if my attic needs more insulation?
Pop the hatch and look, and if you can see the tops of the ceiling joists or the insulation is thin out by the edges, it needs more. Matted or stained spots, droppings and cold rooms under one part of the attic are other signs. I'll measure how many inches are up there when I come out.
What causes the room over the garage to be hot in summer and cold in winter?
Usually it's air leaking in around the garage ceiling and the knee walls, the short walls on the attic side of the room, plus insulation that's thin or missing where the room meets the attic. Piling on more insulation without sealing those gaps rarely fixes it, so we seal first and then insulate.
Do I have to leave the house during spray foam insulation?
For spray foam, usually yes, and you stay out until the re-entry time, the wait the foam maker sets before people and pets can come back inside, has passed. Blown-in work in the attic is different, and most people stay home for it. We give you the timing before we start so you can plan around the kids and the dog.
How do I check an insulation contractor's license in Colorado Springs?
Call the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department at 719-327-2880 or use the contractor search on its website to see whether a contractor is licensed and registered. Only a contractor in good standing can pull a permit. If one asks you to pull it yourself, say no, because a homeowner can only get one for a house they own and live in, and the department says doing it for a contractor is illegal and puts all the liability on you.
What happens if work is done without a permit in Colorado Springs?
If the work needed a permit and someone reports it or an inspector sees it, the building department stops the job until a permit is pulled. If one never is, it files a Certificate of Non-compliance against the property with the El Paso Clerk and Recorder, which the department calls essentially a lien. That's why we settle the permit question before the crew shows up.
