Why Highland Homes Are Different
Highland sits far enough inland that summer temperatures regularly climb past 100°F, and that heat radiates straight through attics built with minimal insulation. Many homes here, especially the mid-century tract houses and 1970s stucco builds in the older east-side neighborhoods, were originally insulated to R-11 or less. That’s roughly half what the Department of Energy recommends for this climate zone.
The Santa Ana winds add another layer. After a wind event, we’ve pulled back attic insulation in Highland homes and found it packed with dust, ash, and debris. Sometimes a top-up works; often the contamination is deep enough that removal and replacement is the only honest recommendation. We tell homeowners exactly what we find before any work starts.
Wildfire risk also shapes material choices here. Highland’s proximity to brush-covered hills means ember intrusion is a real concern. We stock fire-rated mineral wool from Rockwool and dense-pack options that slow fire spread through attic vents and eaves. The Threshold Standard requires us to flag these risks explicitly, even when a homeowner called us just about their electric bill.
Our Main Highland Services
Most Highland homeowners who call us need one of three things: attic insulation upgraded against summer heat, spray foam for air sealing and structural rigidity, or blown-in insulation for fast, complete cavity fill. Each job type has its own Highland page with full detail.
Attic Insulation in Highland
Attic insulation in Highland typically means removing degraded existing material, sealing air leaks around can lights and duct chases, then installing batts or loose fill to R-38 or higher. In east-side neighborhoods especially, we often find original insulation compressed by decades of dust infiltration. We photograph the condition, quote removal if needed, and show you the written price before any work begins. Every attic job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Attic Insulation in Highland
Spray Foam Insulation in Highland
Spray foam insulation works well in Highland’s newer builds and additions where radiant barriers were installed but wall cavities were left open. We apply open-cell or closed-cell foam from Icynene and Demilec depending on whether you need vapor permeability or a moisture barrier. Roof decks, bonus rooms over garages, and sealed attics are common applications here. The foam hardens in place, so we verify your HVAC can handle the reduced air exchange before we spray.

Blown In Insulation in Highland
Blown-in insulation, also called loose-fill, is the fastest way to bring an under-insulated Highland attic up to code. We use a hose to blow fiberglass or cellulose fibers across the attic floor, filling around joists and ductwork that batts would leave exposed. In Highland’s older homes with irregular framing or limited access, blown-in from Johns Manville or GreenFiber often makes more sense than hand-fitting batts. The job typically takes a few hours, and you’ll see the material depth we achieved before we leave. Blown In Insulation in Highland
