Insulation Company in Long Beach, CA
Blown in insulation is the workhorse upgrade for Long Beach’s older housing stock, and it’s the service homeowners call us about most. We’re Even Air Insulation, and we’ve served Long Beach since 2018. The job here rarely looks like a quick attic top-up: marine-layer humidity, 1920s bungalows with settled original fiberglass, and the salt air off the harbor all change what belongs in your walls and attic. Call us at (855) 362-0195 and we’ll walk you through what your specific house actually needs.
Why Long Beach Homes Are Different
Long Beach insulation work is defined by pre-war and mid-century bungalows and craftsman homes blocks from the ocean in 90802, 90803, and 90804, where marine-layer moisture and salty air make vapor management and moisture-tolerant insulation the real job – not just R-value chasing like inland LA. The harbor, refineries, and port-adjacent freeways along 90810 and 90802 also make air-sealing an indoor-air-quality issue here in ways it simply isn’t in drier, less industrial inland cities.
Much of the stock is 1920s-50s single-story stucco bungalows, craftsman homes, and small Spanish-revival houses, plus 1960s-70s tract homes on the north and east sides. Many attics are uninsulated or have compressed, settled original fiberglass, with knob-and-tube or early wiring and paper-backed batts that complicate any upgrade. On the ocean-close flats of 90803 and the Belmont Shore and Naples areas, technicians routinely find 1940s paper-faced batts sagging and damp against stucco walls and unvented attics that trap marine moisture. Blowing in or re-insulating without addressing air sealing and ventilation first can create condensation problems inside walls. The coastal zone stays mild but persistently damp, so the priority is moisture control and air sealing against the humid onshore flow. The warmer, drier inland edges of 90805 and 90808 behave more like classic Southern California cooling-dominated climates, where thermal resistance carries more of the load.
Our Main Long Beach Services
Blown in insulation is the service Long Beach homeowners call about most, but two other jobs come up constantly in this housing stock: attic insulation and spray foam. Here’s what each looks like here.
Attic Insulation in Long Beach
Attic insulation is the highest-return energy upgrade most homes can make, and in Long Beach that’s especially true for 1920s-50s bungalows where the original attic fiberglass has settled into a thin, compressed mat. On the ocean-close flats, we inspect for trapped moisture and unvented attic space before adding anything – blowing new material over damp conditions locks in problems. Our Attic Insulation in Long Beach page covers the full scope, from air sealing to batts to blown-in options.
Spray Foam Insulation in Long Beach
Spray foam isn’t always the answer, but when it is, we have two professional-grade options through Icynene and Demilec. In Long Beach, spray foam earns its keep in unvented attics and rim-joist areas where humid marine air pushes into the building envelope every morning. Closed-cell foam adds structural rigidity to older framing, and its air-sealing properties matter in 90810 and 90802, where port and refinery air quality is a real concern. See Spray Foam Insulation in Long Beach for specifics.

Blown In Insulation in Long Beach
Blown in insulation in Long Beach is most often about fixing what time and salt air have done to original fiberglass in 1920s-50s attics and walls. The coastal damp in 90803 and 90804, combined with unvented attic spaces, means the material choice and prep work matter more than the blowing itself. For a deeper look at how we approach this service as a company, see Blown In Insulation. In Long Beach, we’re typically dense-packing walls and topping off or fully replacing attic insulation, always after confirming the space is dry and properly vented.
Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic has settled fiberglass batts from the original build, your upstairs rooms run warmer than the rest of the house, and your energy bills climb every August.
What it costs in Long Beach
Blown-in cellulose for a typical Long Beach attic runs $1.20 to $2.50 per square foot installed, depending on depth and access.
How we do it
We air-seal penetrations, confirm ventilation, then dense-pack or loose-fill the GreenFiber cellulose to target depth, cleaning as we go.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Signs you need it
You can see the tops of your ceiling joists in the attic, and the house never holds a steady temperature once the marine layer burns off.
What it costs in Long Beach
Blown-in attic insulation in Long Beach typically falls between $1,200 and $2,800 for the attic space, depending on square footage and depth target.
How we do it
We measure existing R-value, remove or remediate any damp material, then blow insulation to the depth that matches your thermal and moisture needs.
Blown In Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
You want a recycled-content material that performs well in wall cavities, and your home has old paper-faced batts that have slumped or failed.
What it costs in Long Beach
Blown-in cellulose for wall cavities in Long Beach runs $1.20 to $2.50 per square foot installed.
How we do it
We drill access holes from the exterior or interior, dense-pack the GreenFiber cellulose into each stud bay, then seal and patch the access points.
Blown In Fiberglass Insulation
Signs you need it
You have an open attic floor with easy access and want a cost-effective loose-fill that can be installed quickly at good R-value per dollar.
What it costs in Long Beach
Blown-in fiberglass in Long Beach ranges from $1.00 to $2.00 per square foot installed, depending on target R-value and prep work.
How we do it

Signs you need it
Your attic has uneven coverage, bare spots, or old material that has settled below the top of the joists.
What it costs in Long Beach
Loose fill insulation in Long Beach runs $1.00 to $2.50 per square foot installed, with the spread driven by material choice and attic accessibility.
How we do it
We inspect for air leaks and moisture, decide between cellulose and fiberglass based on the space, then blow to an even, measured depth.

Is blown in insulation worth it in Long Beach’s climate?
Yes – when the material and prep are matched to the coastal moisture. In Long Beach, the payoff comes from air sealing and moisture control as much as R-value. A properly prepped attic with the right blown-in product evens out temperatures and cuts summer cooling costs.
Can blown in insulation cause condensation problems in Long Beach homes?
It can, if installed over damp existing material or without air sealing in unvented attics. That’s why we inspect and remediate first. Call (855) 362-0195 for an assessment of your specific attic before adding anything.

What Long Beach Customers Say
"Plastic laid from the front door to the attic hatch and they vacuumed the hallway afterward."
— Andres Vargas"Work is good and the house is noticeably more comfortable. There was insulation debris left in the hall closet under the attic access that I had to clean up."
— Daniela Martinez"Attic was at maybe R-11 from the 1970s and blown in over the top would have just buried the problem. They removed the old material, air sealed the top plates and penetrations first, then blew in to R-49. The upstairs is a completely different house in August."
— Emily Gallagher
