"We had the attic done in June before the summer really hit. The upstairs bedroom that used to be unbearable by 2pm is now the same temperature as the rest of the house. The crew finished in one day and left the place clean."
Marcus T., Highland - Attic insulation
"I called on a Monday and they had someone out for an estimate by Wednesday. The spray foam job was done Thursday. My electric bill the next month was noticeably lower - not dramatically, but real. They also told me about the SCE rebate, which I had no idea about."
Sandra R., Redlands - Spray foam insulation
"Our crawl space had old, falling-down insulation and some moisture issues. They removed everything, installed a vapor barrier, and put in new insulation the same day. The floors are warmer in winter and the musty smell is gone."

Good insulation decisions start with understanding the basics. Here is what matters most for homes in this climate.
On a Highland summer afternoon, an uninsulated or under-insulated attic can reach 150 degrees or more. That heat radiates straight down into your living space all day. Proper attic insulation is the single most effective barrier between that heat and your AC system. Learn more from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Santa Ana winds push outside air through gaps around recessed lights, attic hatches, and plumbing penetrations. Insulation alone does not stop this - air sealing does. When both are done together, your home stays cleaner and more comfortable during the worst wind events of the year.
A vapor barrier is a thick plastic sheet installed across your crawl space floor. It blocks ground moisture from rising up into your floor joists and subfloor. In a dry climate like Highland's, moisture from the ground can still cause mold and wood rot if the crawl space is left unprotected.
Closed-cell foam has a higher R-value per inch and acts as a moisture barrier - it is the better choice for crawl spaces and exterior walls in Highland's hot, dry climate. Open-cell foam is softer and works well for interior walls and attics where sound dampening also matters. Your contractor should recommend one based on the specific application.
Yes. SCE offers rebates for qualifying insulation upgrades, and SoCalGas has similar programs for homes with gas heating. Federal energy efficiency tax credits may also apply. Ask your contractor before the job starts - the paperwork is simple and the savings can reduce your net cost by several hundred dollars.
Start by verifying the contractor holds a current California license through the California Contractors State License Board. Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. Look for contractors familiar with SCE rebate programs and California Title 24 energy code requirements.

If existing insulation is dry, undisturbed, and just thin, adding on top of it is usually fine. If it is wet, compressed, stained, or shows signs of pest activity, remove it first. A good contractor will measure what is there and explain which situation applies to your home.
Yes - and it is often skipped. Insulation slows heat transfer, but open gaps around fixtures and pipes let air move freely regardless of how much insulation is present. Air sealing and insulation together outperform either one alone, especially in older homes with many penetrations.
Fiberglass batts lose most of their effectiveness when wet and can grow mold if not dried or replaced. Spray foam is not affected by incidental moisture. Blown-in cellulose can recover if it dries out quickly, but should be inspected. Wet insulation is a sign of a leak that needs to be fixed before new material goes in.

Highland is a community of roughly 55,000 people in San Bernardino County, sitting at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains at about 1,200 feet elevation. The city incorporated in 1987 and has grown steadily since, with most of its housing stock built between the 1970s and early 2000s. Those homes are now at the age where major systems - including insulation - often need attention.
The northern edge of Highland borders the San Bernardino National Forest, and the community of East Highland Ranch - a master-planned neighborhood with parks and trails - sits in the eastern part of the city. Homes closer to the foothills deal with more wind exposure and higher wildfire risk during fall Santa Ana events. The City of Highland borders San Bernardino directly to the west, and residents across both cities share the same Inland Empire climate - long, hot summers and occasional heavy winter rains that test every part of a home.
We have been working on homes in Highland and the surrounding valley since 2016. We know what the local conditions do to insulation over time - the heat, the wind, the clay soils that shift with every wet season. If your home is overdue for an insulation upgrade, give us a call and we will take a look.
