Attic Insulation in Scarborough, Maine

Attic Insulation in Scarborough means roofing built for the Maine climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Maine humidity and the severe storm remnants test every roof, and the tree debris covers the surface.

Signs Your Scarborough Roof Needs Attic Insulation

• High cooling bills in the summer - the heat is coming through the ceiling
• Hot upstairs rooms - the heat is radiating down from the attic
• Uneven temperatures between the rooms - the insulation is insufficient
• The insulation is old or damaged - the settled insulation has lost the R-value
• Drafty ceilings - the air is moving through the gaps

Why Scarborough Roofs Need Attic Insulation

The heat is the main reason. The Maine sun heats the roof and the attic traps the heat. The insulation blocks the heat from moving into the living space.

The roof protection is the second reason. The insulation keeps the heat in the attic from cooking the shingles from below.

How We Do Attic Insulation in Scarborough

1. Inspect the attic - check the current insulation and the air leaks
2. Seal the air leaks - the gaps around the pipes, the wires, and the fixtures
3. Install the insulation - the blown-in fiberglass or the cellulose
4. Check the ventilation - the intake and the exhaust for the airflow
5. Verify the R-value - the insulation meets the recommended level

Preventing Problems in Scarborough

• Check the insulation depth each spring - the settled insulation has lost the R-value
• Seal the air leaks first - the leaks defeat the insulation
• Keep the ventilation clear - the insulation should not block the airflow
• Use the radiant barrier - the foil barrier reflects the heat in the attic

In Scarborough, the attic insulation is the barrier against the Maine heat. The blown-in insulation blocks the heat transfer and the AC works less. The insulated and the ventilated attic keep the home cooler and the roof healthier.
