Learn MoreReach out by phone or through the contact form. We ask a few quick questions about your home - age, what you have been noticing, and what areas you want addressed. No lengthy questionnaire, no sales pressure. We respond within 1 business day to schedule your free on-site estimate.
A crew member comes to your home and looks at the actual conditions - attic depth, wall construction, crawl space access, and any moisture or pest issues that need to be addressed first. You get a written estimate with a clear breakdown of what will be done and why, not just a single bottom-line number.
On installation day, the crew arrives with everything needed and gets to work. Most Bell Gardens homes are finished in a single day. Before we leave, we walk you through the completed work so you can see the coverage yourself - no guessing, no wondering if the job was done right.
We hold a current California contractor license and carry full liability and workers compensation coverage on every project. We provide proof of insurance before work starts - no exceptions.
Every estimate is free, in person, and includes a written breakdown of the work. We look at the actual conditions in your attic, walls, or crawl space and explain what we find before quoting anything.
We have worked on homes in Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, South Gate, and surrounding cities for over a decade. We know what older homes in this area need and how to work on small lots without disrupting your neighbors.

"Our attic hadn't been touched since the house was built in the 60s. The crew came out, showed us how thin the old material was, and finished the whole job in one day. That summer our electric bill dropped by about $80 a month compared to the year before."
Rosa M., Huntington Park - Attic insulation
"We had spray foam done in the crawl space and the back bedroom. The room used to be unbearable by 3 in the afternoon. Now it stays pretty comfortable all day. The crew was on time, cleaned up after themselves, and explained everything before they started."
Carlos V., South Gate - Spray foam insulation
"I called three companies for blown-in insulation. These guys were the only ones who actually came up into the attic during the estimate to show me what was there. The written quote matched exactly what they charged. No surprises on the invoice."

We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation to proceed. After you submit, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.

If your AC runs constantly but rooms stay warm by afternoon, heat is entering faster than it can be removed - usually through an under-insulated attic. In Southern California climates, attic temperatures can exceed 140 degrees on summer days, pressing heat down through your ceiling all afternoon. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-60 for attics in warm climates - most older homes in this region fall far short of that.
Open-cell foam is softer, less expensive, and absorbs sound - good for interior walls and attics in dry climates. Closed-cell is denser, has a higher R-value per inch, and acts as a moisture barrier, making it better for crawl spaces, basements, and exterior walls. The choice depends on where the foam is going and what problem it needs to solve.
Insulation slows heat movement through solid surfaces. Air sealing closes the actual gaps and cracks where outside air enters directly. A home that is insulated but not air-sealed still loses conditioned air through electrical boxes, pipe penetrations, and attic hatches. Doing both together is what actually brings energy bills down.
Open your attic hatch and look. If you can see the wooden ceiling beams clearly, your insulation is too thin. Bell Gardens homes built before 1980 were constructed under insulation standards that are a fraction of what is recommended today - most have never been upgraded and are losing significant conditioned air year-round.
Old insulation that has been wet, contaminated by pests, or physically disturbed during home repairs needs to come out before new material goes in. Topping off contaminated insulation does not fix the underlying problem. In Bell Gardens older homes, pest activity in attics is common - a contractor should inspect the attic before recommending to add or replace.
Yes. Southern California Edison and SoCalGas both offer rebate programs for qualifying insulation upgrades. Bell Gardens residents are served by both utilities. The programs change periodically and some require pre-approval before work starts - ask your contractor whether they participate and can help you apply.

If your existing insulation has been wet, pest-contaminated, or physically disturbed, adding new material on top will not fix the underlying issue. Removal and replacement is the right call when the old material is damaged - not just thin.
Standalone attic insulation upgrades often do not require a permit in California. But if your project is part of a larger renovation, California energy standards apply and a permit is needed. The California Energy Commission outlines the full requirements.
Properly installed blown-in and spray foam insulation can last 20 to 30 years or more without replacement. Spray foam that stays dry can last the lifetime of the home. The main reasons insulation fails early are moisture intrusion, pest activity, and physical disturbance during other renovations.

Bell Gardens is a small, densely packed city in southeast Los Angeles County - just under 2.4 square miles and home to roughly 42,000 residents, making it one of the most densely populated cities in California. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, it sits about 8 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, bordered by Downey, Cudahy, Commerce, and Maywood. Nearly every block is packed with homes, small apartment buildings, and duplexes - and most of those properties have not had insulation work done since they were built.
The majority of Bell Gardens homes were built during the postwar boom of the 1940s through 1960s. Many sit on lots under 5,000 square feet with modest footprints - typically 900 to 1,400 square feet - and stucco exteriors common throughout Southern California. Near landmarks like the Bicycle Hotel and Casino on Eastern Avenue and John Anson Ford Park, the streets are typical of older southeast LA - quiet residential blocks with homes that have served multiple generations of families. Many of those homes have been modified over the years, with added units or converted garages that sometimes leave wall cavities open and attics under-insulated.
Summers here are intense - heat regularly climbs into the 90s from June through September, and the urban density creates an additional heat island effect that makes cooling costs even higher than the regional average suggests. The EPA notes that dense urban areas absorb and retain more heat than suburban or rural neighborhoods. For Bell Gardens homeowners, that means proper attic and wall insulation is not just a comfort upgrade - it is one of the highest-return improvements you can make to an older home in this community.
