Our company does one thing: attics. We insulate them, seal them, clear them out and fix their ventilation for homeowners across Barrie and the townships to the west. We carry full insurance on every attic we work in.
Every job starts with a measurement and ends with one. The first tells you what you have now. The second, written on your invoice, tells you what you paid for.
Before any price, one of us climbs into your attic with a flashlight, a tape and a camera. We measure the depth of the old insulation in several places, check the soffit vents, look for frost or stains on the roof boards and note every air leak we can find. You get the photos along with a written quote.
That visit usually takes about forty-five minutes. If the attic does not need work, we will tell you so.
On install day, we staple depth rulers to the trusses across the attic floor, from the hatch to the far corners. Insulation is blown in until every ruler reads the target. It is a simple habit, and it is the reason the far corners of an attic get the same depth as the area near the hatch.
When we finish, we photograph the rulers and write the reading and the R-value on the invoice.
Insulation works best in an attic that is sealed from the house below and vented to the outside above. That is why our quotes usually include attic air sealing and baffles at the eaves. They take extra time, and they are what keep the roof boards cold, dry and free of ice in a Barrie winter.
The blowing and removal machines stay outside in the truck. Inside, we lay floor runners from the entry to the hatch, cover the furniture under it and seal the hatch opening with plastic. When we leave, we vacuum the path we used.
Most of our work is in single-family homes, from older houses near Allandale to newer subdivisions in Painswick, Holly and Ardagh. We also insulate rental houses, townhouses and small commercial buildings with attic space. Every job gets the same measured approach and the same written quote.

Each service starts with a free attic check and ends with the depth written on the invoice.
Blown-in attic insulation fills the whole attic floor with loose fibres that settle around trusses, wires and vent pipes. We blow it to a measured depth, usually R-60, and write that depth on the invoice.

An attic insulation top-up blows fresh loose fill on top of whatever layer is already there. It is the quickest and least expensive way to bring an attic up to today's levels without tearing anything out.

Ice dam prevention means keeping the roof boards cold so snow does not melt from underneath. We do it from inside the attic by sealing air leaks, adding attic insulation and keeping the eave vents open.

Attic insulation removal clears out worn or spoiled material, leaving bare joists ready for sealing and a fresh fill. We remove loose fill, old batts and mixed layers with a high-powered vacuum.
Details and pricing
Attic air sealing plugs the cracks and holes in a ceiling that leak heated air upward. We seal those gaps with spray foam, caulking and gaskets before any new attic insulation is blown over them.
Details and pricing
Attic ventilation lets outside air flow in low at the soffits and out high at the roof vents, so the attic stays cold and dry in winter. We check that flow and fix it as part of every insulation job.

Cathedral ceiling insulation fills the space between the rafters in rooms where the ceiling follows the roof. That includes vaulted living rooms, bonus rooms over a garage and the upper floor of a story-and-a-half house.

The Ontario attic insulation rebate sits inside Home Renovation Savings, which Enbridge Gas funds alongside Save on Energy. Under its attic stream, homeowners can get money back for raising an attic to R-50 or more without booking an energy audit.
Details and pricing
The attic insulation cost for most Barrie houses falls between $1,250 and $3,000. The figure for your house comes down to three things: the attic's square footage, the depth already up there and the number of air leaks to close.
