Insulation Contractor Serving Asheboro, NC

Yes. We serve homes across North Carolina, and Asheboro sits inside that area. If your mail says Asheboro but the house is well out in the county, send us the street address and we'll check it against the map.

The street address and about how old the house is, plus the square footage if you know it. Then tell us the trouble: a second floor that stays hot, a room that never warms up in winter, a water stain on a ceiling, an electric bill that jumped.

The price follows the attic: how big it is, how far its depth falls short of the R-value target, whether old insulation has to come out, and how much of the ceiling needs sealing first. Your square footage plus a couple of answers from you covers most of it, so you don't have to wait on a visit to get a number. Asking costs nothing.

Often it can stay. Dry, clean insulation still counts toward the total, and new material goes over it once the ceiling is sealed. It comes out when it's wet, matted, moldy or soiled by animals: we vacuum it out after the cause has been fixed, and then the replacement goes in. Two things stop the work until another professional has dealt with them: loose, pebbly vermiculite, which can contain asbestos, and old knob-and-tube wiring.

It can, when the attic is the cause. A thin or patchy layer lets the heat of a sun-baked roof work down into the room, and gaps in the ceiling let hot attic air in. Ducts that cross a hot attic and leak lose cooled air before it reaches the vents. If the trouble turns out to be the heating and cooling system itself, we'll say so and point you to a contractor who works on it, instead of selling you insulation that won't fix it.

Closing, from the attic side, the openings that join your rooms to the attic: holes around wiring and plumbing stacks, the edges of the hatch, light fixtures, chases and the tops of interior walls. Small cracks get caulk or sealant. Big openings, like a chase, are covered with rigid board sealed at the edges, and around a chimney, sheet metal and heat-rated caulk keep anything that burns at a distance. Every bit of this happens before new insulation covers the attic floor.

Rarely. The Asheboro Downtown Historic District, listed in 2022, is mostly commercial and takes in only two residential buildings, a bungalow and an apartment building. Central School on the East Side is listed as a single building. Listing alone puts no limits on a private owner, the state preservation office says. A designated local landmark is different. Randolph County has a landmark preservation commission, and under state law outside changes to a landmark need its approval, though the interior is not reviewed. Attic insulation is inside work, while new roof vents are not.

No, they were not all built at once. African American families owned land and built houses on the East Side from the 1900s, the 1993 nomination for Central School records. Even so, most buildings there appeared to date from the 1920s through the 1960s, so neighbors can be forty years apart. A 1920s house there could still have porcelain knobs and cloth wire strung across its ceiling joists. Buried in loose fill, that pre-1930 circuitry is a fire hazard by ENERGY STAR's account, so an electrician sees it first. The newer house next door may need none of that, so each attic is judged on its own.

From the side attics, after sealing. The downtown nomination describes a 1919 brick bungalow on Worth Street with wood-shingled shed dormers running almost its full width. A bungalow built like that tucks its upstairs rooms partly into the sloping roof. Low knee walls stand beside them, with wedge-shaped attic pockets behind. ENERGY STAR warns that the open bays in the floor framing under those walls leak air even when insulation is stuffed into them. We close those bays first, then insulate each knee wall and the floor of each wedge, as well as the flat attic overhead.
