Insulation in Shenandoah, TX
Crawl space encapsulation in Shenandoah typically runs $3.50-$7.00 per square foot, and it’s the single highest-ROI job for the city’s limited residential pockets, where 1980s-2000s slab-on-grade homes sit over vented crawl spaces that pull in 70-90% Gulf Coast humidity for months at a time. Most of our Shenandoah work leans commercial, because the I-45 corridor is wall-to-wall hotels, medical offices, and chain restaurants with cooling loads that never sleep. Call (855) 657-3403 to talk through your building’s specific condition.
Why Shenandoah Homes Are Different
Shenandoah sits in IECC Climate Zone 2A, the hot-humid belt where summer attics routinely exceed 140°F and outdoor relative humidity hovers between 70% and 90% for most of the warm season. That combination creates strong inward vapor drive on every wall and roof assembly. If air-sealing is skipped or a vapor retarder is missing, condensation forms inside cavities, and mold follows. This is not a comfort footnote here. It is a code and liability issue, especially for the commercial buildings that dominate Shenandoah’s built environment.
The residential stock tells the same story. Most homes along the residential pockets near Shenandoah Valley subdivisions date from the 1980s through the 2000s. They were built as vented attics with R-19 or R-22 fiberglass batts. Current IRC code for Climate Zone 2A calls for R-38 to R-49. Decades of humidity have compressed those batts, and compressed fiberglass loses most of its thermal resistance. The gap between what those attics were built to and what they actually perform at now is where our work starts.
Add Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, and Shenandoah has a specific retrofit backlog. Many commercial buildings along I-45 had uninsulated mechanical chases and pipe runs freeze or sweat through that week. Building owners now know exactly where those gaps are. We still convert those into booked jobs, because the fix is mechanical insulation and air-sealing, not a general attic upgrade.
Our Main Shenandoah Services
Two services drive most calls from Shenandoah homeowners: crawl space work and attic insulation. Both are shaped by the same local conditions, slab-on-grade construction and Gulf Coast humidity. Here is what each job looks like in Shenandoah.
Attic Insulation in Shenandoah
Most Shenandoah attics still carry the original R-19 or R-22 fiberglass batts from the 1980s and 2000s, now compressed and moisture-degraded. We remove or top up that material to bring the attic to R-38 or R-49, which matches current code for Climate Zone 2A. The work typically takes one day, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. See the full breakdown on our Attic Insulation in Shenandoah page.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier in Shenandoah
In Shenandoah, crawl space encapsulation is the highest-leverage retrofit we do. Homes sit on slab-on-grade foundations, but vented crawl spaces still exist under many of the 1980s-2000s builds, and those vents admit the same humid air that makes August feel like a sauna. A properly sealed crawl space cuts the moisture load under the house, protects floor joists, and keeps the indoor environment from fighting itself.
This is the foundation of home performance, and Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier done correctly changes how the entire house behaves. In Shenandoah, the specific problem is inward vapor drive: warm, wet air moves toward cooler, drier spaces for most of the year. Without a vapor barrier, that moisture condenses on ducts, joists, and subflooring. Encapsulation stops the cycle.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Signs you need it
You smell damp, musty air rising through the floor, you see condensation on ductwork or floor joists, or you notice sagging insulation under the house.
What it costs in Shenandoah
A vapor barrier in Shenandoah typically runs $1.50-$3.00 per square foot of covered area.
How we do it
We clean the crawl space floor, lay a reinforced polyethylene barrier, and seal all seams, piers, and edges. The barrier becomes a continuous moisture break between the ground and your home.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Signs you need it
Humidity readings stay above 60% under the house, the crawl space smells earthy after rain, or you see efflorescence or mold staining on concrete walls.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Full encapsulation in Shenandoah runs $3.50-$7.00 per square foot, depending on access and condition.
How we do it
We seal the vents, install the vapor barrier up the walls, add a drainage mat if needed, and condition the space with a dehumidifier. The result is a dry, controlled cavity.
Crawl Space Insulation
Signs you need it
Floors over the crawl space are cold in winter, or the existing fiberglass batts have fallen or been torn by animals.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Insulating a crawl space in Shenandoah typically runs $1.00-$3.00 per square foot, added to the barrier or encapsulation work.
How we do it
We use moisture-tolerant insulation board or closed-cell spray foam on foundation walls, never hanging fiberglass that just collects moisture and droops.
What Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier Costs in Shenandoah
| Item | Typical range in Shenandoah |
|---|---|
| Crawl Space Vapor Barrier | $1.50-$3.00 per sq ft |
| Crawl Space Encapsulation | $3.50-$7.00 per sq ft |
| Crawl Space Insulation | $1.00-$3.00 per sq ft |
| Dehumidifier (add-on) | $1,800-$3,500 installed |
Can you encapsulate a crawl space without removing the old insulation?
No. Old wet fiberglass batts must come out first. Leaving them in a sealed crawl space traps moisture against the subfloor and accelerates rot. We remove and dispose of all old insulation before laying the barrier.
How long does crawl space encapsulation take in Shenandoah?
Most Shenandoah crawl spaces are finished in one to two days, depending on square footage and how much old material needs to be removed. We schedule the work as a single visit whenever the space allows. Call (855) 657-3403 for a precise timeline on your home.
Spray Foam Insulation in Shenandoah
Spray foam is the answer for Shenandoah homes and commercial buildings that need both thermal resistance and an air seal in one shot. In a climate where summer drives hot, humid air inward for months, foam’s ability to stop air movement matters more than its R-value per inch. Open-cell and closed-cell formulations solve different problems.
For commercial work along I-45, closed-cell foam is our default recommendation. It adds structural rigidity, blocks vapor drive, and holds up in roof decks and mechanical chases. For residential attics in Shenandoah, open-cell is often the better fit because it is less expensive per board foot and still air-seals completely. Our Spray Foam Insulation team will steer you to the right material for your assembly.
Open-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
You have an unconditioned attic over finished space, and you want the entire roofline sealed and insulated in one pass.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Open-cell spray foam in Shenandoah generally runs $0.50-$1.50 per board foot.
How we do it
We spray the foam directly onto the underside of the roof deck, filling every seam and penetration. The attic becomes a conditioned, semi-conditioned space that stops stack effect in its tracks.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Your building has a brick or block wall, a metal roof deck, or a flood-prone crawl space where moisture control and structural strength are both required.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Closed-cell spray foam in Shenandoah typically costs $1.00-$2.50 per board foot.
How we do it
We apply the foam in lifts to the target depth, typically 2 inches for air-sealing and R-13 or more, depending on the assembly. It cures rigid and acts as both insulation and moisture blocker.
Rim Joist Spray Foam
Signs you need it
You feel drafts at the base of exterior walls, or your energy audit shows major leakage at the rim joist band.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Rim joist spray foam in Shenandoah usually runs $500-$1,500 for a typical home, depending on linear footage.
How we do it
We seal the rim joist band in the basement or crawl space with closed-cell foam, cutting one of the largest air-leakage paths in any house.
What Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Shenandoah
| Item | Typical range in Shenandoah |
|---|---|
| Open-Cell Spray Foam | $0.50-$1.50 per board foot |
| Closed-Cell Spray Foam | $1.00-$2.50 per board foot |
| Rim Joist Spray Foam | $500-$1,500 total |
Does spray foam work in a vented attic in Shenandoah?
Yes, but the approach changes. You can spray the attic floor instead of the roof deck, or convert the attic to unvented. In Shenandoah, where attics hit 140°F, an unvented roof deck with foam at the roofline almost always performs better.
Is open-cell foam a bad idea in Shenandoah’s humidity?
Not if it is installed correctly on the right side of the assembly. Open-cell allows vapor to pass, so it needs a vapor management plan. We specify open-cell for roof decks in Climate Zone 2A only when the assembly is designed for it. Call (855) 657-3403 for a materials recommendation specific to your building.
Blown-In Insulation in Shenandoah
Blown-in insulation is the fastest way to bring a Shenandoah attic up to R-38 or R-49 without tearing the house apart. The city’s 1980s-2000s homes are prime candidates, because their original R-19 or R-22 batts have compressed and left the top floor roasting in summer. Loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass covers irregular cavities and gaps that batts never could.
Blown-in also works for topping up existing insulation rather than starting over. We use Blown-In Insulation materials from GreenFiber and Owens Corning, chosen for settled R-value and resistance to moisture degradation in Gulf Coast humidity.
Blown-In Cellulose
Signs you need it
Your attic has uneven insulation, bare spots, or settled material, and you want a dense, air-restricting layer made from recycled stock.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Blown-in cellulose in Shenandoah typically costs $0.90-$1.50 per square foot.
How we do it
We run hoses from a truck-mounted machine, blowing the cellulose to the specified depth across the entire attic floor. The material settles slightly, so we over-blow to compensate.
Blown-In Fiberglass
Signs you need it
You want loose-fill insulation that will not settle as much over time and is lighter weight for older ceiling assemblies.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Blown-in fiberglass in Shenandoah generally runs $0.70-$1.20 per square foot.
How we do it
We blow Owens Corning loose-fill fiberglass to the specified R-value, with attention to even coverage and protection around can lights and exhaust fans.
Dense-Pack Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Exterior walls are empty or under-insulated, and you can feel heat radiating through them in summer or cold in winter.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Dense-pack wall insulation in Shenandoah typically runs $1.50-$3.50 per square foot of wall area.
How we do it
We drill small holes through drywall or exterior siding, then pack cellulose or fiberglass at high pressure until the cavity is completely full. The patch work is minimal.
What Blown-In Insulation Costs in Shenandoah
| Item | Typical range in Shenandoah |
|---|---|
| Blown-In Cellulose | $0.90-$1.50 per sq ft |
| Blown-In Fiberglass | $0.70-$1.20 per sq ft |
| Dense-Pack Wall Insulation | $1.50-$3.50 per sq ft |
How much blown-in insulation does a Shenandoah attic need for code?
Current IRC for Climate Zone 2A calls for R-38 to R-49 in vented attics. That usually means 12 to 16 inches of blown-in material, depending on the product. We measure the existing depth and top up from there.
Can you blow insulation over old batts in Shenandoah?
Yes, as long as the old batts are dry and not compressed to the point of losing their structure. We inspect first. Damaged or moldy material comes out before the new layer goes in. Call (855) 657-3403 for an attic assessment.
Radiant Barrier Installation in Shenandoah
Radiant barrier is a Shenandoah-specific answer to the 140°F attic problem. In a hot-humid climate, a radiant barrier stapled to the underside of the roof deck reflects radiant heat back out before it can soak into your attic insulation and push down into the living space. It is a simple, proven retrofit that drops attic temperatures by 20-30°F in the worst of summer.
We install radiant barrier as a complement to, not a replacement for, your bulk insulation. Radiant Barrier Installation works only when there is an air gap facing the foil. We handle the stapling, the seam spacing, and the ventilation planning so the material actually performs.
Attic Radiant Barrier
Signs you need it
Your upstairs rooms run 8-10°F hotter than the rest of the house in summer, even with air conditioning running.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Attic radiant barrier in Shenandoah typically costs $0.50-$1.00 per square foot of roof deck.
How we do it
We staple a double-sided foil barrier to the underside of the roof deck, leaving the required air gap. The attic immediately starts reflecting heat back through the roof.
Radiant Barrier Foil
Signs you need it
You have a metal or shingle roof and want the lightest, least invasive heat-reflection option.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Foil radiant barrier in Shenandoah generally runs $0.50-$1.00 per square foot.
How we do it
We roll and staple the foil across the rafters, keeping it taut and continuous. Seams are overlapped, not taped, to allow the material to breathe.
Radiant Barrier & Ventilation
Signs you need it
Your attic has ridge vents or soffit vents but still builds heat, meaning the ventilation system needs to be balanced for the barrier to work.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Radiant barrier with ventilation balancing in Shenandoah typically runs $0.75-$1.50 per square foot all-in.
How we do it
We confirm soffit and ridge vent flow, add or adjust venting if needed, then install the barrier. The goal is an attic that breathes continuously rather than trapping heat.
What Radiant Barrier Installation Costs in Shenandoah
| Item | Typical range in Shenandoah |
|---|---|
| Attic Radiant Barrier | $0.50-$1.00 per sq ft |
| Radiant Barrier Foil | $0.50-$1.00 per sq ft |
| Radiant Barrier & Ventilation | $0.75-$1.50 per sq ft |
Does radiant barrier actually help in a 140°F Shenandoah attic?
Yes. A properly installed barrier facing an air gap reflects a large share of radiant heat away from the insulation below. Attic temperatures commonly drop 20-30°F, which reduces the heat load on the ceiling and air handler.
Can I install radiant barrier myself in Shenandoah?
We do not recommend it. Stapling foil across rafters in a 140°F attic is physically demanding and the material only works with correct spacing and seam placement. Let our crew handle it. Call (855) 657-3403 for a quote.
Insulation Removal & Replacement in Shenandoah
Removal comes before every true fix in a Shenandoah home with decades-old fiberglass that has compressed, molded, or been destroyed by rodents. You cannot air-seal or insulate over a mess. The old material comes out, the cavity gets cleaned, and new insulation goes in at current code. This is the only path to a genuine reset.
We see a lot of this in Shenandoah, where 1980s-2000s attics were never meant to handle today’s humidity cycles. Insulation Removal & Replacement is often bundled with attic air sealing, because the two jobs share access and prep.
Attic Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Your attic insulation is compacted to half its original depth, water-stained, or full of rodent droppings and nesting debris.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Attic insulation removal in Shenandoah generally runs $1.00-$2.00 per square foot.
How we do it
We run a commercial vacuum line from a truck-mounted unit into the attic, removing old batts, loose-fill, and debris. The space is left clean and ready for new insulation.
Contaminated Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
You have had a raccoon, rat, or squirrel infestation, or a roof leak has soaked the insulation and triggered mold growth.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Contaminated insulation removal in Shenandoah typically runs $2.00-$4.00 per square foot due to the extra handling and disposal.
How we do it
We follow a containment protocol, bag the contaminated material inside the attic, and dispose of it properly. The framing is then treated and dried before new insulation goes back in.
Insulation Replacement
Signs you need it
Your existing insulation has failed, and you want the cavity brought to current R-38 or R-49 with clean, modern material.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Insulation replacement in Shenandoah normally runs $1.50-$3.00 per square foot, depending on the material selected.
How we do it
After removal and cleaning, we install new blown-in or batt insulation to the specified depth, with air sealing performed before the new layer goes down.
What Insulation Removal & Replacement Costs in Shenandoah
| Item | Typical range in Shenandoah |
|---|---|
| Attic Insulation Removal | $1.00-$2.00 per sq ft |
| Contaminated Insulation Removal | $2.00-$4.00 per sq ft |
| Insulation Replacement | $1.50-$3.00 per sq ft |
How do I know if my Shenandoah attic insulation needs removal rather than a top-up?
If the material is compressed, wet, or contaminated, it must come out. Topping up over mold or rodent waste just buries the problem. We inspect and tell you straight whether removal is necessary.
Can you replace insulation in one day in Shenandoah?
Most removal jobs take one day, and the replacement often happens the same afternoon or the next morning. We will give you a window before we start. Call (855) 657-3403 to check our current schedule.
Attic Air Sealing in Shenandoah
In Shenandoah, air sealing is the difference between an insulated attic that works and one that just adds material. The city’s hot-humid climate drives moisture through every crack, can-light, and top-plate penetration. If you skip air sealing and blow insulation over a leaking attic floor, the new insulation becomes a filter for humid air moving from conditioned space toward the attic.
We seal the attic floor before any new insulation goes in, because Attic Air Sealing in a 140°F attic is the highest-ROI hour of the entire job. The fix is permanent, and it makes every other layer work better.
Attic Floor Air Sealing
Signs you need it
You feel warm air drafts in summer, see dust streaks on insulation around penetrations, or your energy bills spike in August.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Attic floor air sealing in Shenandoah typically runs $1.00-$2.50 per square foot of attic floor.
How we do it
We locate every penetration through the attic floor and seal it with foam, caulk, or rigid blocking. The goal is a continuous air barrier between the house and the attic.
Top Plate & Penetration Sealing
Signs you need it
Your energy audit flagged high leakage at wall-to-attic junctions, or you can see daylight at the edges of the attic floor.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Top plate and penetration sealing in Shenandoah generally runs $1.50-$3.00 per linear foot of wall.
How we do it
We seal the top-plate junction where walls meet the attic, plus plumbing, electrical, and HVAC penetrations. This is often the single largest air-leakage source in a Shenandoah home.
Attic Hatch Sealing
Signs you need it
Your attic hatch feels hot to the touch, or you can feel air moving around the edges when you stand under it.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Attic hatch sealing in Shenandoah typically costs $150-$400, depending on hatch size and condition.
How we do it
We add an insulated cover board, weatherstripping, and positive latching to the attic hatch. A sealed hatch can be worth an entire R-value point in your ceiling assembly.
What Attic Air Sealing Costs in Shenandoah
| Item | Typical range in Shenandoah |
|---|---|
| Attic Floor Air Sealing | $1.00-$2.50 per sq ft |
| Top Plate & Penetration Sealing | $1.50-$3.00 per linear ft |
| Attic Hatch Sealing | $150-$400 total |
Do I need air sealing if I already have insulation in my Shenandoah attic?
Yes. Insulation without air sealing is like a wool sweater in the wind. The sealing work blocks air movement that carries heat and moisture. Without it, your existing insulation underperforms by a wide margin.
How much can air sealing save in a Shenandoah home?
Savings vary, but sealed attics in this climate commonly cut cooling costs 10-20% because the air handler is not fighting stack-effect-driven moisture and heat. Call (855) 657-3403 and we will assess your attic in person.
Wall Insulation in Shenandoah
Wall insulation in Shenandoah is the quiet hero of the 1980s-2000s homes that were built without continuous exterior insulation. Those houses leak heat through the framing and cavity insulation, and the only way to fix that without tearing out drywall is injection foam or drill-and-fill techniques. The result is a wall assembly that finally behaves like a wall instead of a sieve.
We bring the same standard to Wall Insulation work in Shenandoah that we apply to the big commercial jobs along I-45: precise targeting, no guesswork, and the right material for the cavity.
Injection Foam Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Your exterior walls feel warm from inside in summer, and you suspect the builder left cavities empty or under-filled.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Injection foam wall insulation in Shenandoah typically runs $1.50-$3.50 per square foot of wall area.
How we do it
We drill small holes through the drywall or exterior cladding and inject slow-rising foam that fills the cavity completely. The foam cures in place and does not sag or settle.
Drill & Fill Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
The wall cavities are open from the attic or crawl space, or you want to fill gaps using dense-packed cellulose for an older home.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Drill-and-fill wall insulation in Shenandoah generally runs $1.00-$2.50 per square foot.
How we do it
We access the wall from inside or outside, pack the cavity with cellulose or fiberglass under pressure, then patch the openings to match. The work is clean and fast.
Interior Wall Soundproofing
Signs you need it
You hear every conversation and footstep through interior partitions, or you have a home office that needs acoustic isolation.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Interior wall soundproofing in Shenandoah typically costs $1.50-$4.00 per square foot, depending on the assembly.
How we do it
We add dense insulation to the stud cavities, then optionally add a decoupling layer or mass-loaded vinyl. The wall becomes measurably quieter.
What Wall Insulation Costs in Shenandoah
| Item | Typical range in Shenandoah |
|---|---|
| Injection Foam Wall Insulation | $1.50-$3.50 per sq ft |
| Drill & Fill Wall Insulation | $1.00-$2.50 per sq ft |
| Interior Wall Soundproofing | $1.50-$4.00 per sq ft |
How do I know if my Shenandoah walls are insulated?
Most 1980s-2000s builders in this area did insulate, but cavities often have gaps at the top from settling or sloppy installation. We use a thermal imaging check during a home energy audit to map voids before recommending any wall work.
Can you insulate walls without removing drywall in Shenandoah?
Yes. Injection foam and drill-and-fill both go in through small openings that we patch afterward. The disruption is minimal, and most jobs finish the same day. Call (855) 657-3403 for a wall cavity assessment.
Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Shenandoah
Rodent and pest pressure in Shenandoah is real, especially around the commercial corridors where dumpsters and food waste attract rats and mice. Homes nearby inherit that pressure. Attics become nesting sites, and the damage goes beyond smell: rodent urine and droppings degrade insulation, chew through wiring, and create a health hazard that no amount of air freshener fixes.
The fix is a cleanout, sanitizing, and exclusion. Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing is the only version of this work that actually holds, because we close the entry points rather than just removing the mess.
Attic Cleanout
Signs you need it
You see droppings, nesting material, or grease marks, or you hear scratching in the ceiling at night.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Attic cleanout in Shenandoah typically runs $500-$1,500, depending on the size and amount of debris.
How we do it
We vacuum out all contaminated insulation and debris, then dispose of it properly. The attic frame is left clean and ready for the next step.
Attic Sanitizing & Decontamination
Signs you need it
The attic smells strongly of urine or musk, or there is visible staining and mold growth on the framing.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Attic sanitizing in Shenandoah generally runs $300-$800, added to the cleanout cost.
How we do it
We treat the framing and decking with an enzyme-based sanitizer that neutralizes odor and pathogens, then let the space dry thoroughly before any new insulation goes in.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Signs you need it
Rodents keep coming back despite traps or bait, and you have not identified the entry points.
What it costs in Shenandoah
Rodent proofing and exclusion in Shenandoah typically runs $300-$1,000, depending on the number of openings.
How we do it
We seal every gap larger than a quarter inch with steel mesh, foam, or flashing, focusing on roof returns, soffit intersections, and utility penetrations. The attic is now a closed system.
What Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Shenandoah
| Item | Typical range in Shenandoah |
|---|---|
| Attic Cleanout | $500-$1,500 |
| Attic Sanitizing & Decontamination | $300-$800 |
| Rodent Proofing & Exclusion | $300-$1,000 |
Can you clean my attic and install new insulation the same week in Shenandoah?
Yes. We often clean, sanitize, and re-insulate in a two-to-three-day window. The cleaning needs to dry completely before insulation goes down, which is usually overnight.
How do I keep rodents out of my Shenandoah attic for good?
Exclusion is the only permanent answer. Sealing every opening with durable material, not just foam, stops the entry cycle. We combine the cleanout with exclusion on every rodent job. Call (855) 657-3403 to schedule an attic inspection.

FAQs About Insulation in Shenandoah, TX
How quickly can we schedule an insulation job in Shenandoah?
We typically schedule inspections and quotes within a few business days, and most installs finish in a single day depending on the size of the attic, crawl space, or walls involved. After you reach out, we confirm a visit window and send a technician to look at the space before writing up the work.
Why does vapor control matter for code compliance in Shenandoah?
Shenandoah’s hot-humid climate zone creates strong inward vapor drive for most of the year, so skipping air sealing or a vapor retarder isn’t just a comfort issue, it’s a code and moisture-liability issue. We size vapor control to the local climate rather than treating it as an afterthought.
How does the written estimate work?
We inspect the attic, walls, or crawl space in person, measure the area, and check the condition of any existing insulation before writing a fixed price. That estimate is given before any work starts, so the scope and total cost are set in advance with nothing added after the fact.
Which areas near Shenandoah do we serve?
We regularly work in Houston, Spring, The Woodlands, Katy, Pearland, and Humble as well. If you’re not sure whether your address falls inside our coverage area, send us your zip code and we’ll confirm before scheduling a visit.
What happens to the old insulation when it’s replaced?
We remove and bag the old material before hauling it away for proper disposal, then clean the space if needed before installing anything new. If we find moisture damage, contamination, or pest activity in the old insulation, we’ll point it out and address it as part of the job.

What Shenandoah Customers Say
"Upstairs was ten degrees hotter than downstairs every summer. They pulled the attic to bare joists, air-sealed every can light and top plate first, then blew it to R-49. First August in this house where the bedrooms and the living room read the same on the thermostat."
- Marcus Hale"Rodents had been in the attic for years before we bought the place. They vacuumed everything out, sanitized, sealed the entry points with mesh and foam, and only then put new insulation down. Photos of every stage before I paid."
- Darnell Whitfield"They did the energy audit first - blower door and thermal camera - and showed me exactly where the house was leaking before selling me anything. The fix ended up being air sealing plus a modest attic top-up, not the full replacement another company pushed."
- Grace Nakamura
