We’re not a Demilec dealer or authorized installer. We’re an independent Demilec service provider, which means we can tell you the truth about what’s failing and what it costs to fix, without a sales quota behind the recommendation.

How Demilec Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Sealection 500 settling in cathedral ceilings. Demilec’s Sealection 500 is a half-pound open-cell foam, and in Los Angeles homes with steep cathedral ceilings, we see it pull away from the decking over time due to heat cycling. The fix isn’t more foam – it’s removing the failed section, checking the ventilation path, and reinstalling blown-in insulation that won’t shrink. We’ve done this enough times to know the difference between a foam adhesion problem and a moisture problem.
• Heatlok HFO shrinkage at the top plates. Heatlok HFO is Demilec’s closed-cell line, and it’s a good product, but in older Los Angeles attics with irregular framing, we find gaps where the foam shrank just enough to let air move through the top plate. That’s where blown-in insulation earns its keep – it fills the seams foam leaves behind. We treat this as a two-part job: air-seal the gap, then blow insulation to the correct R-value for LA’s climate zone.
• Demilec APX over-sprayed around recessed lights. APX is another closed-cell Demilec formula, and when it was applied around non-IC-rated recessed cans, it can trap heat. In Los Angeles, where attic temperatures hit 130°F in August, that’s a fire-safety concern. We remove the foam around the fixtures, verify clearance, and use blown-in insulation with proper baffles instead. This is one of those things you won’t find in a Demilec brochure.
• Open-cell foam absorbing moisture from bathroom exhaust fans. With Sealection 500 and similar open-cell Demilec products, we’ve seen bathroom exhaust fans venting into the attic soak the foam, which then drips onto ceilings below. The fix is re-routing the vent through the roof, replacing the saturated foam, and then blowing in insulation that breathes properly. Los Angeles humidity is low most of the year, but a single improperly vented fan does more damage than the climate ever will.
• Old Demilec foam that’s outlived its usefulness. Demilec has been around since the early 2000s, and some of the earliest installations are now 20 years old. We find brittle, discolored foam in attics across Los Angeles that no longer provides the R-value it once did. The most cost-effective repair is often to leave the old foam in place and blow fresh insulation over it. You get current code-level insulation without a full tear-out, and the old foam keeps doing partial work underneath.

Our Demilec Blown In Insulation Process

Here’s exactly what happens when you call us about Demilec blown in insulation in Los Angeles:

1. 1
   The call. A live person answers at (864) 428-1615, any hour. Tell us what you’re seeing: high bills, uneven temperatures, or foam that’s pulling away. We’ll ask a few questions and schedule the visit.
2. 2
   The inspection. Garrett Sloane or one of our background-checked technicians arrives in a marked vehicle, uniformed, with a photo ID badge. You’ll already have their name and photo from us before they knock. We inspect the existing Demilec foam, the attic ventilation, and the framing.
3. 3
   The written price. Before anything gets touched, you get a written quote with the exact scope and dollar amount. No verbal rough numbers, no “we’ll see once we get in there.” You’ll know the price before we pull the hatch.
4. 4
   The work. We remove failed foam only where necessary, air-seal gaps, install baffles if needed, and blow in insulation to the depth required for Los Angeles’ climate zone. We match the product to the job, whether that’s fiberglass or cellulose.
5. 5
   The test. We verify the R-value with depth checks, confirm no air gaps remain around the framing, and walk you through the finished attic before we leave.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Every Demilec blown in insulation job carries our 365-day Done Right Promise, covering labor and materials, in writing. If something’s not right within a year, we come back on a second visit at no charge and make it right. That’s the standard, not the exception.

What Demilec Blown In Insulation Costs in Los Angeles

Here’s what we see across Los Angeles, from Woodland Hills to Silver Lake. For a typical 1,200-square-foot attic needing blown-in insulation over existing Demilec foam:

• Basic blow-over (leaving old foam in place): $1,200 to $1,800
• Partial foam removal plus blown-in insulation: $2,200 to $3,500, depending on how much foam has to come out
• Full Demilec removal and re-insulation: $4,500 to $7,500, driven mostly by dump fees and disposal regulations in Los Angeles County
• Air-sealing as part of the job: $400 to $900 extra, and worth every dollar in an older LA home

What moves the price: attic accessibility, whether there’s a finished room up there, how much old foam has to be bagged and hauled, and whether we’re working around recessed lights that need clearance. Call (864) 428-1615 for an exact written quote. Estimates are free.

Why Los Angeles Homeowners Call Aspen Attic Insulation for Demilec Work

Most Los Angeles homeowners have two reasonable fears about letting an insulation company into their attic: who’s actually showing up, and what the final bill will actually say. We solve both before the work starts. Every tech is background-checked, identity-verified, and sent to you by name and photo before the visit. If anyone else arrives, the visit is free. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it applies to every Aspen Attic Insulation job, no exceptions.

We stock materials from eight brands, Demilec included, plus Reflectix for radiant barrier work where it makes sense. That means we don’t push one product line because it’s the only one we carry. We push the one that fixes your attic. Garrett Sloane built this company on showing up, telling you what he saw, and quoting it in writing. Most of our Demilec jobs in Los Angeles come from referrals from people who already know exactly how we work.
