This page is for GreenFiber owners in Los Angeles who need their attic insulation installed correctly, deepened, or replaced. If your insulation has settled, gotten damp, or you’re seeing uneven temperatures room to room, call (864) 428-1615 and we’ll walk you through what you’re looking at.

What to Know About GreenFiber Blown In Insulation

GreenFiber is one of the eight brands we stock, and it’s a specific animal. It’s a cellulose product, meaning it’s made mostly from recycled paper fiber treated with borates for fire resistance and pest deterrence. We install a lot of it in Los Angeles because it performs well in our climate, but it has characteristics other loose fills don’t. Here’s what matters.

• It settles more than fiberglass. GreenFiber’s SANCTUARY and Cocoon lines settle roughly 13 to 20 percent over the first few years. That’s normal for cellulose, but it means your R-value drops if the original installer didn’t account for it. We always blow to settled depth specs, not just “full to the joists.”
• Moisture is the enemy. Cellulose absorbs water. A small roof leak near a vent pipe in Los Feliz or Silver Lake can quietly soak a section of GreenFiber for months before you notice, and wet cellulose loses its R-value fast. We check moisture levels in every attic before we blow anything new.
• Borates matter. GreenFiber treats its product with borates, which is why it resists mold and pests. But older GreenFiber batches, pre-2015 or so, had lower treatment density. If your home had insulation blown before 2015, you might have the older blend.
• R-value comes from depth. GreenFiber gives you about R-3.7 per inch. To hit R-38, which is the recommended attic level for Los Angeles, you need roughly 10 to 11 inches of settled material. Most attics we see in the San Fernando Valley are sitting at R-19 or less.
• It can be topped off, but not always. You can blow new GreenFiber over old, but if the old layer is damp, rodent-damaged, or full of dust and debris from a remodel, the new layer sits on top of a problem. We’ll tell you straight whether you need a top-off or a full removal.

Our GreenFiber Blown In Insulation Process in Los Angeles

Here’s how a GreenFiber job works with us, start to finish. No surprises in between.

1. 1
   You call or book online. A live person answers, 24/7. You’ll get a visit window that works for you, and the name and photo of your technician before we arrive.
2. 2
   We inspect the attic. We check current insulation depth, moisture levels, air leaks around can lights, ductwork, and whether your existing GreenFiber is still doing its job. We also check for signs of rodent traffic, which is common in parts of Los Angeles.
3. 3
   You get a written price. Before any work starts, you know exactly what the job costs: material, labor, cleanup, and whether we’re topping off or removing and starting fresh.
4. 4
   We blow the insulation. We use calibrated equipment to get the exact settled R-value you’re paying for. Every bag is accounted for, and we don’t shortcut depth. If we’re topping off, we’ll match the existing material density so you don’t get uneven coverage.
5. 5
   We clean up and walk you through it. We show you the finished depth, the bag count, and answer any questions. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job, covering labor and materials, with a free second visit if anything needs a correction.

Key Takeaways

• GreenFiber is a borate-treated cellulose product that works well in Los Angeles attics, but only at proper settled depth.
• Most under-insulated LA attics need a top-off of 6 to 8 inches to reach recommended R-38.
• Wet or rodent-damaged GreenFiber should be removed before new material goes in.
• Every Aspen Attic Insulation job gets a written price upfront and a 365-day guarantee in writing.

What GreenFiber Blown In Insulation Costs in Los Angeles

Pricing depends on attic size, access, and whether we’re topping off or removing old material. Here’s what Los Angeles homeowners typically see.

What moves the price: attic access (crawl spaces or tight hatches add time), the condition of existing insulation, whether we need to remove old material first, and whether your home has rodent or moisture issues that need addressing before new insulation goes in. Call (864) 428-1615 for an exact written quote. The estimate is free, and you’ll know the price before we pull the hatch.

Why Los Angeles Homeowners Call Aspen Attic Insulation for GreenFiber Work

We’ve been doing attic work since 2002, which means we’ve seen every failure mode a GreenFiber attic can throw at you. Our technicians know this product’s settling rates, how it reacts to Los Angeles humidity cycles, and when a top-off makes more sense than a redo. And because we’re an independent GreenFiber service provider, not an authorized dealer, we’re free to tell you if a different material would serve you better. We stock seven other brands, including Owens Corning and Johns Manville, plus Reflectix for radiant barrier applications, and we’ll match the material to the attic, not the other way around.

Every technician who arrives at your Los Angeles home is background-checked, identity-verified, in a clean marked uniform, and carrying a photo ID badge. You’ll get their name and photo before the visit. If anyone else shows up, the visit is free and we make it right. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s how we’ve operated since day one.
