Insulation Company in Tujunga, CA
Blown in insulation is the most common retrofit call we get in Tujunga, and for good reason: most homes here were built between the 1920s and 1960s with empty or underfilled attics, and the canyon geography means conditioned air escapes fast while radiant heat pours in through south-facing walls. We’re Even Air Insulation, and we’ve served Tujunga since 2018. Call (855) 362-0195 for a free estimate on the right insulation for your home, not just the one easiest to install.
Why Tujunga Homes Are Different
Tujunga sits at the base of the San Gabriels in a canyon corridor, and that location rewrites the insulation playbook. Summer sun bakes south-facing and west-facing walls for hours, pushing radiant heat through exterior sheathing into living spaces. Winter nights run noticeably colder than Burbank or Glendale just a few miles down the hill, while cold air drains off the mountains and settles into the canyon floor.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Much of Tujunga’s homes are mid-century ranch and cabin-style builds from the 1920s through the 1960s. Many have no wall insulation at all, unlined attics, and original knob-and-tube or early romex wiring that makes some retrofit approaches trickier than a modern home would be.
We also see homes along the washes and canyon mouths with uninsulated, vented crawlspaces that funnel cold air up through the floors in winter. Add Santa Ana winds driving heat loss and pushing ember intrusion concerns after the 2007 and 2020 fire seasons, and the work here is less about heating-degree-days and more about radiant-heat and air-sealing battles. That’s why material selection is application-driven, not inventory-driven.
Our Main Tujunga Services
Two services account for the bulk of what Tujunga homeowners call us about: attic insulation and spray foam. Each solves a different problem in these foothill homes, and the right choice depends on how your house was built and which way it faces.
Attic Insulation in Tujunga
Most Tujunga attics from the mid-century era were built with minimal or zero insulation, and what’s there has often compacted to a fraction of its original R-value. Attic insulation is the highest-return energy upgrade most homes can make, especially here where summer attic temperatures routinely exceed 140°F and winter heat pours straight through the ceiling. We work around existing wiring, inspect for rodent damage before we start, and air-seal the attic floor before adding material. Learn more about Attic Insulation in Tujunga.
Spray Foam Insulation in Tujunga
Spray foam isn’t always the answer, but when it is, we have two professional-grade options: Icynene and Demilec, covering both open-cell and closed-cell formulations. For Tujunga homes with unvented attics, sloped ceilings, or crawlspaces that need both insulation and an air barrier, foam solves problems batt material can’t touch. It also seals the gaps that let Santa Ana wind-driven embers find their way into attic spaces. Learn more about Spray Foam Insulation in Tujunga.

Blown In Insulation in Tujunga
Blown in insulation is the most efficient way to add serious R-value to a Tujunga attic without tearing the house apart. Because so many homes here are from the 1920s through the 1960s, we’re typically filling attics that were never insulated in the first place, or topping off material that’s settled and lost most of its effectiveness. It’s fast, it’s affordable relative to other methods, and it works around the older wiring and framing that complicate rigid batt installation. We use GreenFiber cellulose for most Tujunga jobs because it packs into irregular cavities well and carries recycled content for homeowners who care about sustainable building products. See our Blown In Insulation service page for the full picture.
Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
Rooms under the attic run hot in summer and cold in winter, or your energy bills spike every July and December despite no change in usage.
What it costs in Tujunga
Blown cellulose for a typical Tujunga attic runs $1.20 to $2.30 per square foot installed, depending on depth and existing material removal.
How we do it
We air-seal the attic floor penetrations first, then blow GreenFiber cellulose to the target R-value with a hose and calibrated machine, fluffing for even coverage across every bay.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic floor has bare spots, the existing insulation sits below the joist tops, or an energy audit shows your ceiling as the biggest heat-loss surface in the house.
What it costs in Tujunga
Attic-only blown in insulation jobs in Tujunga typically run $1,500 to $3,800 for a complete fill on a 1,200 to 2,000 square foot home.
How we do it
We set up a contained path from the truck to the attic hatch, run the blower hose inside, and fill the attic to a uniform depth while checking for bypasses around flues, can lights, and wall plates.
What Blown In Insulation Costs in Tujunga
| Item | Typical range in Tujunga |
|---|---|
| Attic loose fill cellulose, 1,000 sq ft to R-38 | $1,400 – $2,600 |
| Attic loose fill fiberglass, 1,000 sq ft to R-38 | $1,600 – $2,800 |
| Attic floor air sealing plus blown insulation | $2,200 – $4,200 |
Is blown in insulation worth it in Tujunga?
Yes. Attic insulation is the highest-return energy upgrade most homes can make, and in Tujunga’s canyon climate the payback comes faster because summer attic heat and winter heat loss are both extreme. Most homeowners see lower bills within the first cooling season.
Can you blow insulation over old material in my Tujunga attic?
Usually yes. We can blow new material over existing fiberglass or cellulose as long as the old material is dry and not heavily contaminated. We’ll tell you if removal makes more sense before we start. Call (855) 362-0195 for an exact quote.
