Insulation Company in Burbank, CA
Insulation in Burbank means working with homes built between the 1920s and 1950s, many of which still carry little more than a whisper of original material in the attic and none at all in the walls. Summer attic temperatures here regularly top 140°F, and that heat presses down into living spaces all afternoon. We approach every Burbank job by looking first at what the house was built with, then matching the right product to the way the family actually lives. Call (626) 657-5343 and we’ll talk through what’s happening in your attic before anyone schedules a visit.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
The housing stock in Burbank tells the story. Magnolia Park and the Rancho district are full of storybook bungalows and post-war tract homes with uninsulated walls and attics that hold maybe an inch of settled dust where insulation used to be. These homes were built for a different climate, before air conditioning ran from June through October. Today, an attic in Burbank can sit at 140°F on a July afternoon, and that heat radiates down through the ceiling into bedrooms and hallways for hours after sunset.
We also see knob-and-tube wiring in many of these older attics. It’s not a defect, it’s just what the era used, and it has to be evaluated before loose-fill or spray foam goes in. The San Fernando Valley heat is the main driver here: cooling costs climb when the attic acts like a radiator, and the occasional winter chill means homes need enough thermal resistance to hold warmth on cooler nights. Retrofit work in Burbank is rarely a one-size job. Each attic has its own framing, its own access, and its own history.
Our Main Burbank Services
Most Burbank homeowners reach out about one of two things: an attic that never got properly insulated, or a room or addition where air is leaking through gaps and cracks.
Attic Insulation in Burbank
Older Burbank attics often have blown-in material that has settled to nearly nothing over the decades, or none at all beyond a few batts tossed between joists. We remove what needs removing, air-seal the gaps where conditioned air escapes, and install fresh insulation matched to the home’s framing and the family’s needs. In Burbank’s hot valley climate, that usually means a higher R-value than the original builder ever considered. We carry Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, and CertainTeed products, and we’ll explain which one fits your attic and why. Full details are on our Attic Insulation in Burbank page.
Spray Foam Insulation in Burbank
For Burbank homeowners dealing with converted garages, bonus rooms, or additions that never got proper air sealing, spray foam closes the gaps that batts and loose-fill can’t reach. It’s particularly useful in older Burbank construction where wall cavities are irregular or where the attic has awkward angles and limited access. Closed-cell foam adds structural rigidity and a moisture barrier, which matters in valley homes that bake all summer. We use Icynene and Demilec systems, and our techs will walk you through open-cell versus closed-cell before any material goes in. See Spray Foam Insulation in Burbank for the full breakdown.

What Burbank Customers Say
"Attic insulation with a newborn in the house. The crew was quiet, laid protection on every floor they crossed, and hauled off all the old material. Left it spotless and the house is cozier already."
- Corinne Dyer"Removed the old flattened insulation and blew in new. They were so careful not to track anything through the house, booties on, drop cloths down. Cleaned up spotless after."
- Kelvin Osei"Our bedrooms were always cold. They added insulation and air sealed the attic, and were meticulous about cleanup, you'd never know they'd been in the attic. So much cozier now."
