What to look for in these photos
Before: settled, thin or dirty insulation
In most Central Texas attics we open, the old insulation has settled to a few inches. You can often see the tops of the ceiling joists, gaps around the attic hatch, and dark spots where dust or air has been moving through. Insulation that is wet, matted or full of rodent droppings can’t just be covered up. It has to come out first.
Removal: the vacuum truck and bags
The removal photos show our high-powered insulation vacuum. Hoses run from the attic out to the trailer, and the old insulation goes straight into collection bags, so it never gets carried through your living space. Once the attic is empty we sanitize it and seal gaps before anything new goes in. How insulation removal works.
After: an even blanket with depth rulers
New blown-in fiberglass should look level and fluffy from wall to wall, with no low spots near the eaves. The depth rulers in the after photos stay in your attic, so you, a home inspector or a future buyer can check the R-value you paid for. Baffles keep the soffit vents open so the attic can still breathe. More on blown-in insulation.
Your own photos
Every customer gets before-and-after photos of their own attic, and often a short video too. If you are comparing quotes in Waco, Temple, Belton or Killeen, ask every contractor for this. It’s the easiest way to know the job was done right. Want a price first? See our attic insulation cost guide or request a free estimate.
