Blown-In Fiberglass for Asheboro Attics
Our attic insulation is loose-fill fiberglass, blown across the attic floor until the layer is one even depth. In Asheboro the starting point varies a lot. The 2000s were the city's busiest building decade, about one home in six by the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey, yet about a quarter of its housing is older than 1960. An attic from 2005 and one from 1955 seldom need the same work.
The goal is the same across town. Randolph County is climate zone 3 in North Carolina's energy code and on the 2021 national map that ENERGY STAR's chart is drawn from. For a zone 3 house that already stands, the chart asks for R-49 over a bare attic floor and R-38 where 3 to 4 inches is down now. Our R-value guide gives the depth for each.
Savings vary. Find out why in the seller's fact sheet on R-values. Higher R-values mean greater insulating power. In blown-in fiberglass, the attic insulation we install, ENERGY STAR's estimating figure puts R-38 at about 15 inches and R-49 at about 20; the coverage chart of the product used gives the exact installed thickness for each R-value.
Tell us the square footage of the attic, or give us the address and we'll measure the footprint. You'll hear what the attic needs, and if the answer is nothing, that's what we'll tell you.

Attic Work We Do in Asheboro
Attic insulation, removal, air sealing and more. Open one to see how the work goes.
Attic Insulation Removal
Old, wet, matted or animal-soiled attic insulation vacuumed out, so new insulation can go in on a clean, sealed attic floor.
Air Sealing & Duct Sealing
Sealing the gaps between your rooms and the attic, and leaky ductwork, so the air you pay to heat and cool stays inside.
Wall Insulation
Insulation blown into the closed walls of an existing house, batts in open walls for additions, remodels and new builds, and garage walls and ceilings.
Garage Insulation
Insulation for the garage ceiling under a bonus room, the wall shared with the house and the garage attic, with air leaks sealed first.
Crawl Space Insulation
Floor insulation under the house: wet or fallen insulation pulled out, new batts between the floor joists, plastic over the dirt and the floor leaks sealed.

Topping Up Asheboro Attics From the 1980s On
About half of Asheboro's housing dates from 1980 or later. Those attics started out with insulation, but loose-fill settles, and each trip up to a furnace, a cable run or a bath fan leaves a packed-down trail. The eaves are where it runs thinnest. The roof drops close to the ceiling there, and ENERGY STAR points out that an attic can be well covered in the middle and nearly bare along its edges.
When the old layer is clean and dry, it stays and counts toward the target. The leaks in the ceiling are sealed, baffles are set at the soffit vents so outside air still gets in, and new fiberglass is blown over the top and carried right out to the eaves.
Electric Heat and Attic Ductwork in Asheboro
Electricity heats about seven in ten occupied Asheboro homes, by the same Census survey, and natural gas most of the rest. Heating is the larger load. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals for the Asheboro 2 W station, under 2 miles from the town center, count about 3,540 heating degree days a year against about 1,390 cooling degree days, close to two and a half to one.
Where a heat pump or a furnace pushes its air through ducts in the attic, those ducts spend the winter in the coldest part of the house and the summer in the hottest. So we look at them on every Asheboro job. Duct sealing with mastic or metal tape closes the joints and seams we can reach, before the fiberglass covers the floor. A crushed or separated duct is a repair for a heating and cooling company, and we'll show it to you.
Older Asheboro Houses: Tight Eaves, Old Wiring, Odd Fill
About one Asheboro home in twenty predates 1940, and the 1950s alone built about 15 percent of today's housing. The 2022 National Register nomination for downtown says the Craftsman style, with its low roofs and broad eaves, caught on in Asheboro houses in the 1910s. A roof like that leaves very little height where the attic meets the outside walls, so those edges take hand work and baffles before any fiberglass is blown.
Three things put an older attic on hold until they're handled. Knob-and-tube wiring, in use until about 1930, can turn into a fire hazard under insulation, ENERGY STAR warns, so an electrician deals with it first. Loose, pebbly fill that might be vermiculite stays untouched until a lab has tested it. And a brick chimney keeps its 2 inches of clear space, closed off with aluminum flashing and heat-rated caulk instead of buried.
Removing Ruined Insulation From Asheboro Attics
Attic insulation removal is for the exceptions: a layer soaked by a roof leak, gone moldy, matted into a crust, or soiled by mice, rats or squirrels. The cause gets fixed first, by a roofer for the leak or a wildlife company for the animals. Once the mice are gone, we vacuum out the fouled insulation, sanitize and deodorize the attic, seal the bare ceiling and blow in new fiberglass.
If only part of the attic is spoiled, only that part is priced for removal. And if you want the old insulation gone with nothing going back in, we do that as a job of its own.
Asheboro Rentals, Duplexes and Small Apartment Buildings
Nearly four in ten Asheboro housing units sit in buildings with two or more homes, and renters hold a little over half of the city's occupied homes, the Census Bureau estimates. In a rental the attic is the owner's decision, so we price it for the owner. A tenant with a hot back bedroom is welcome to pass our number along.
A duplex or a small building often has one attic running over several units. We measure it as one attic, seal the ceiling over each unit from above, and blow the whole floor to the same depth, so no unit ends up with less than its neighbor.
How We Price Attic Insulation in Asheboro
Call or text, or fill in the contact form. The square footage of the attic or the house is where we start, along with the house's rough age and the reason you're calling. That's enough to price most Asheboro attics with no visit. When one needs a closer look first, we make a special trip.
Your estimate names the target R-value and the depth, puts any removal and the air sealing on lines of their own, and gives the total. We don't list prices here, because the attic sets them: its floor area, the depth already in it, the leaks to close and whether a spoiled layer has to come out first. Our cost guide explains how each one moves the number.

Asheboro Attic Insulation FAQs
Does it matter whether Duke Energy or Randolph EMC serves my Asheboro house?
It can. Most of Asheboro is on Duke Energy, but Randolph EMC serves homes nearby and in other parts of the county, so check your bill. Duke runs a rebate for attic insulation and air sealing that has to go through a contractor in its network, and Insulation Pros is an approved Duke Energy trade ally. Randolph EMC offers its members a free home energy analysis. Each utility sets its own terms, and its website has them.
What R-value should an Asheboro attic have?
For a house that already stands in Randolph County's zone 3, ENERGY STAR's chart says R-49 if the attic floor is bare and R-38 if it holds 3 to 4 inches now. North Carolina's code sets R-38 as the minimum for the ceiling of a new house. Your estimate names the target R-value and the depth of blown-in fiberglass it takes, and the crew measures what's already there before any work begins.
There are mice in my Asheboro attic insulation. What happens now?
The mice come first. We don't do pest control, so a pest or wildlife company removes them and closes the way in. Once the mice are gone, we vacuum out the soiled insulation, sanitize and deodorize the attic, seal the gaps in the bare ceiling and blow in fresh fiberglass. If the droppings cover only one area, the removal on your estimate covers only that area.
Will you check the ventilation in my Asheboro attic?
We look at it, but we don't change it. Blown insulation must never block the soffit vents, so baffles go in at the eaves before any fiberglass does. Roof vents, ridge vents and attic fans are roofing work, which we don't do. If something about how your attic breathes looks wrong to the crew, they'll tell you, and a roofer is the one to fix it.
How do I get a free attic insulation estimate in Asheboro?
Reach us by phone or text from 8 to 5, seven days a week, or send the contact form whenever it suits you. Include the square footage, or the street address so we can work it out, plus the house's age and what made you call: a hot room, a high bill, a ceiling stain. Most Asheboro attics can be priced from that, and the decision stays with you.
