Insulation Company in Somis, CA
Most insulation work in Somis comes down to one thing: older homes that were built before California’s energy codes got serious, and newer custom builds where the attic wasn’t given enough attention. We’re Alden Attic Insulation, and our crews work throughout Somis upgrading under-insulated attics, removing old settled material, and installing blown-in insulation that handles the valley’s 90°F summers and cool winter nights. Call us at (341) 895-7513 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Somis Homes Are Different
Somis sits inland from the coast, which means the marine layer doesn’t reliably cool things down the way it does in Camarillo or Ventura. Summer days regularly push past 90°F, and an attic without proper insulation turns that heat into an all-day load on the air conditioner. The older ranch homes from the 1970s and 1980s are the usual suspects: original fiberglass batts that have settled to half their intended R-value, leaving the AC running nonstop from June through September. We see it constantly on the single-story homes off Somis Road and along the side streets east of the 34.
Newer custom estates bring a different challenge. High ceilings, big windows, and open floor plans look great but make air sealing and thermal barriers harder to get right. Without careful attention to the attic plane, those homes leak conditioned air all year. California’s Title 24 energy code applies to both old and new construction here, so whenever we upgrade a Somis attic we make sure the work meets current requirements, not just what was code when the house was built.
Our Main Somis Services
Most Somis homeowners call us for one of three things: upgrading attic insulation that’s too thin, blowing in new insulation over existing material, or pulling out old contaminated batts that need to go. Here’s what each job looks like in Somis.
Attic Insulation in Somis
Attic insulation in Somis usually means adding material on top of what’s already there, or replacing settled batts entirely. On the older ranch homes we often find R-19 batts that are now performing closer to R-8, simply because they’ve flattened and shifted over the decades. We install Johns Manville and CertainTeed batt insulation to get attics up to the levels Title 24 requires for this climate zone. The job is straightforward: remove or top up as needed, air seal the attic floor, and bring the whole assembly up to spec. Details are on our Attic Insulation in Somis page.
Blown In Insulation in Somis
Blown-in insulation works well in Somis attics with irregular joist spacing or lots of cross-bracing, where batts leave gaps. We use Knauf and Rockwool blown-in products, which settle less than older fiberglass and keep their R-value in the heat. The material fills tight corners and around ductwork that batt insulation can’t reach, which matters in the 1970s and 1980s homes where original duct runs were often installed with little thought to insulation. For homeowners who want the attic’s thermal barrier to actually cover the whole floor, this is the usual fix. See our Blown In Insulation in Somis page for specifics.
Insulation Removal in Somis
Insulation removal in Somis is common in two situations: rodent or pest contamination in older ranch homes, and water damage from occasional roof leaks during winter rain. Old fiberglass batts that have absorbed moisture lose their R-value and can hold mold. We pull the old material out, bag it, and get the attic clean before installing new insulation. The removal itself is dusty work, and we seal off the attic access and run a negative-pressure setup so the dust doesn’t end up in the living space. Read the full rundown on our Insulation Removal in Somis page.
