Insulation Company in Burbank, CA
Blown in insulation is the fastest way to fix a Burbank home that bakes upstairs and freezes in January. Most houses here were built before 1970 with vented attics holding thin, settled fiberglass – or nothing at all. We match each Burbank home to the right material from eight manufacturers rather than pushing one product, and we carry Demilec, GreenFiber, and Owens Corning lines for jobs that need them.

Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank sits in the San Fernando Valley, where summer runs long and hot. From June through September, attics here climb past 140°F, and that heat radiates down through ceilings all afternoon. Winter is mild, so the real enemy is radiant heat gain – not heat loss. A home with under-insulated attic space fights a losing battle every afternoon from about 2 p.m. until sundown, and the AC runs to compensate.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Burbank’s older core, roughly 91501 and 91502, holds 1920s-40s California bungalows and Spanish stucco homes. Those attics often have original kneewalls and top plates with little or no insulation, plus drop-down attic stairs and whole-house fans that leak cooled air straight into the attic. The postwar tracts in 91504, 91505, and 91506 are wood-frame with vented attics and settled fiberglass that may have been adequate in 1962 but has compressed to a fraction of its original depth. Homeowners here also work in the studio and aviation economy – Burbank is not a bedroom community. People are unusually attentive to sound transmission between rooms and from outside, and they notice when one bedroom runs ten degrees hotter than the hallway. That makes the Burbank job about more than adding batts. It is about air-sealing top plates, insulating kneewalls, and choosing materials that perform in a hot, semi-arid climate.
Our Main Burbank Services
Most Burbank calls start with one of two services. Here is what each involves in this city specifically.
Attic Insulation in Burbank
Attic work in Burbank almost always starts with removing or topping off what is there. Older bungalows in 91505 and 91506 frequently have original fiberglass that has settled flat, plus knee walls that were never insulated during the aircraft-boom era. We air-seal the top plates and any chase ways first, then install the material that matches the home’s framing and venting. See the full breakdown at Attic Insulation in Burbank.
Spray Foam Insulation in Burbank
Spray foam makes sense in Burbank attics where headroom is tight, or where the attic is being converted into living space – common in Spanish and Mediterranean homes with low-pitched roofs. Closed-cell foam from Demilec also acts as an air barrier, which helps when whole-house fans and recessed lights are leaking cooled air. Read the specifics at Spray Foam Insulation in Burbank.

Blown In Insulation in Burbank
Blown in insulation in Burbank is typically the most cost-effective retrofit for vented attics and enclosed wall cavities in pre-1970s homes. Loose-fill material settles into odd stud bays and around existing wiring much better than batts, which matters in older bungalows where framing is rarely square. We install both cellulose from GreenFiber and blown fiberglass, and the work is often done in a single day. For a broader look at how this method compares, visit our Blown In Insulation hub.
Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
Rooms directly under the attic feel hot by mid-afternoon in summer, or you can see exposed ceiling joists through thin, settled insulation.
What it costs in Burbank
Cellulose attic insulation in Burbank typically runs $1.20 to $2.20 per square foot installed, depending on depth and access.
How we do it
We air-seal the top plates and penetrations, then dense-pack or loose-fill the cellulose to the specified depth using a calibrated blowing machine.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic floor insulation is below the top of the joists, or the upstairs rooms run noticeably warmer than the rest of the house by late afternoon.
What it costs in Burbank
Blown in attic insulation in Burbank generally falls between $1.50 and $3.00 per square foot, including removal of failed material when needed.
How we do it
We prep the attic, seal the air leaks, blow the material evenly to depth, and verify coverage with gauge markers before cleanup.
Blown In Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
You want recycled-content insulation or need fire-resistant material in an attic with older wiring or recessed fixtures.
What it costs in Burbank
Blown in cellulose in Burbank typically costs $1.20 to $2.20 per square foot for a standard vented attic.
How we do it
We dense-pack the cellulose into wall cavities or blow it loose over the attic floor after sealing the top plates and bypasses.
Blown In Fiberglass Insulation
Signs you need it
You want a lighter loose-fill material that resists settling, ideal for large open attics in Burbank’s postwar tracts.
What it costs in Burbank
Blown in fiberglass in Burbank runs about $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot for a typical one-story attic.
How we do it
We blow the fiberglass to the target depth, then check density and coverage across the entire attic floor, including corners.
What Blown In Insulation Costs in Burbank
| Item | Typical range in Burbank |
|---|---|
| Basic attic blow-in over existing insulation | $1.20 – $2.20 / sq ft |
| Air sealing + blown in cellulose | $2.00 – $3.00 / sq ft |

Is blown in insulation worth it in Burbank?
Yes, especially for attics. The San Fernando Valley heat makes attic radiant gain the biggest comfort problem in Burbank, and blown in insulation is the most cost-effective way to cut that heat load quickly. Call (855) 382-3925 for a free estimate.
How long does blown in insulation last in Burbank’s heat?
Cellulose and fiberglass both perform well in Burbank’s climate when installed at proper depth. Neither degrades from heat alone, though pest activity and roof leaks can reduce effectiveness. A quick attic inspection tells you what’s there now. Call us at (855) 382-3925.

What Burbank Customers Say
"Attic was at maybe R-11 from the 1970s and blown in over the top would have just buried the problem. They removed the old material, air sealed the top plates and penetrations first, then blew in to R-49. The upstairs is a completely different house in August."
— Colleen Vaughn"Work is good and the house is noticeably more comfortable. There was insulation debris left in the hall closet under the attic access that I had to clean up."
— Amanda Sullivan"Spray foam in the rim joists in the basement. The cold floors above them are gone."
— Miguel Guzman
