Insulation Contractors in Glenview, ILDid you know that the average Glenview, IL homeowner pays 20-45% more on their heating and cooling energy bills due to poor or lack of insulation? The extreme temperature changes season-to-season and even day-to-day result in home temperatures quickly rising or falling to meet outside temperatures. This causes energy bills to shoot through the roof.
To make matters worse, homes that are even just 10 years old have outdated insulation, meaning much more can be done to improve energy efficiency. Even newly constructed homes often have insufficient insulation because home builders and general contractors have a lack of expertise in insulation installation or simply don’t put as much attention into this part of the construction process. Paying 20-45% more in energy bills every month can add up quickly. But you can save this money (and the environment!) by investing in proper insulation. That’s where we come in. Glenview Insulation is the local expert regarding all of your insulation needs. We’ve served Glenview and the surrounding areas for more than 10 years and have experience with all kinds of projects including:

Our services
Attic insulation
Attic insulation is the most popular service requested by our Glenview, IL customers. That’s because it’s one of the most important areas to insulate—and also the area where we tend to see poor insulation installed by other contractors. If you own an older home in the Glenview area, it may be particularly important for you to consider attic insulation.
Attics are an immense surface area through which air can freely transmit if not properly insulated. Around 40% of utility costs from heating and cooling come from hot or cold air leaking through your attic, walls, and floors. But it doesn’t stop there. When your attic stays cold for long periods of time, it will develop condensation and mold. These will not only cause structural damage to your attic and home, but also contaminate the air. Combined with the smoke and dust that can enter through poor insulation, your family will be in danger of respiratory diseases, allergies, and headaches. Our contractors at Glenview Insulation specialize in attic insulation because we’ve insulated hundreds of attics in the Glenview area. We have the tools, know-how, and materials to make sure your attic insulation lasts for many years to come. Based on your attic build, budget, and preferences, we can install insulation batts, foam boards, spray foam, rigid, loose fill, blow in, injection and other types of insulation. When you schedule your free estimate, we’ll send an insulation contractor to inspect every inch of your attic insulation. We’ll then discuss the plan of action with you so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Our Glenview customers have seen savings of 20-45% on their utility bill just by installing our industry-leading attic insulation. When you update your attic insulation, you are making an investment that will not only save you money, but also increase your home value. |
Home insulation
Glenview Insulation contractors can install insulation not only in your attic, but also your walls, basement, roof, crawl spaces, and just about any other area in your home. With many homes in Glenview and the surrounding area being built in the 1970s or earlier, we serve a lot of customers with outdated or insufficient insulation that does not meet the R-values required in Glenview, IL.
Our contractors can conduct a full inspection of your home, looking at every surface where potential weak spots or leakages could be occurring. They are licensed and trained insulation specialists who will document each and every location where the insulation needs to be updated or supplemented. With their extensive knowledge of Glenview homes and how they are built, they know where poorly insulated areas are likely to be located. We have a wide range of materials for any kind of purpose, budget, and area of the home. This includes rigid, rockwool, spray foam, fiberglass, blow in, loose fill, rolled, foam board insulation, and more. Our contractors know how to maximize insulation by applying the right materials in different situations and often pairing it with spray foam insulation to seal all gaps and holes where air could escape. Updating your home insulation is so important because it will save you money in the long run by decreasing your energy bills. More importantly, it will keep your family comfortable and healthy. Proper insulation eliminates drafts and temperature inconsistencies across rooms. It prevents mold and condensation buildup that can damage your home and cause respiratory conditions and allergies. And it keeps your home warm in the winter to prevent colds and flus. Our customers are able to weather the harsh winters and summers in Glenview because of our home insulation solutions. |
Spray foam insulation
One of the most popular materials among our Glenview, IL customers is spray foam insulation. Spray foam is an exciting technology because it pairs well with our other insulation installations like rolled, foam board, rigid, loose fill, and blow in. This is because no matter how tightly you pack in an foam board, or any other type of insulation, it will always have gaps in between each batt through which air can pass.
At Glenview Insulation, our contractors have become specialists in using this technology to its fullest extent. When we inspect your home, we look especially for areas where it can be utilized to quickly seal small leakage points and make your entire home 100% airtight. Another benefit is that the strength of the spray foam sealant will keep pests out of your insulation, which is a common problem. It will also keep out air pollutants like smoke and dust as well as lock out moisture (which is especially important in basement areas) to prevent mold and condensation buildup. The spray foam we use is thermally efficient, affordable, and 100% eco-friendly. It has very high R-values, so your home will be able to withstand the extreme temperatures in Glenview, IL. We can apply this spray foam for many applications including your attic, basement, roof, walls, and more in your home. It is important to have contractors and professional insulation installers apply spray foam insulation to your home. This is because spray foam expands by up to 120 times its original size after application, so putting too much into small areas can cause structural damage to your home. It is also very sticky and requires the use of protective equipment because it releases fumes that are harmful (these go away quickly). Hundreds of customers are happy with our spray foam insulation solutions. Contact us to find out how we can better insulate your Glenview home. |
Wall insulation
Like attics and roofs, walls take up a prodigious surface area and thus act as the main barrier to outside air. Having proper wall insulation is essential to keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Roughly 40% of Glenview, IL utility costs come from energy escaping through your walls, attic, and floors. By having Glenview Insulation install their home and wall insulation, our customers have saved an average of 30% on their utility bills.
Glenview Insulation is a local expert in wall insulation installation. We specialize in updating both finished walls and walls that are exposed during home remodeling. This is because our contractors can install more robust solutions for exposed walls like insulation batts, foam boards, fiberglass, and cellulose insulation. But they can also install more convenient solutions like injection or blow in insulation if you are not wanting to tear down your drywall. When you use Glenview Insulation to install wall insulation, you are making a long-term investment that will save you money and time in the future. Walls act as temperature thresholds with the outside. With Glenview, IL reaching sub zero winter temperatures and scorching hot summer temperatures, having poor wall insulation will cost you hundreds more in utility bills every year. Worse yet is the fact that poor wall insulation can lead to colds or flus if they can’t keep your home warm in the winter. It can also become a home for pests, which is common in older homes in Glenview and the surrounding areas. Poor wall insulation also allows air pollutants to enter (dirt, smoke, dust, etc.) which can cause or worsen respiratory conditions and allergies. Our contractors in Glenview, IL will update your wall insulation to save you money and keep your family healthy and comfortable. |
Basement insulation
Cold basements are one of the most common problems in Glenview, IL, and it often originates from poor basement insulation. Because basements in Glenview and nearby suburbs are built underground, the moisture from the earth can seep into the foundation and even the insulation, especially in older homes. This causes the R value of the basement insulation to go down, decreasing its power to keep your basement warm.
At Glenview Insulation, our contractors have solved this problem for hundreds of basements in the Glenview area. Unlike most contractors, we know exactly the types of basement insulation needed to keep water out for a long time to come. These include rigid foam, graphite-infused foam, foam board, and rockwool insulation. We often pair these with spray foam to completely lock out any moisture as well as potential entryways for pests and insects. This will ensure the structural stability of your basement walls. Basements are the perfect breeding ground for mold and condensation because they are cold and humid. But these conditions can be mitigated with proper basement insulation. We can quickly and efficiently complete installation for unfinished basements due to exposure of existing insulation. But more often our customers have us inspect basement walls that have been finished for a long time. When we do so, we carefully inspect every inch to find weak points such as areas where moisture can accumulate. We then take down the drywall and put in fresh, dry insulation as well as a vapor barrier or spray foam to keep moisture out. Our Glenview, IL customers report not just having warmer, drier, and more comfortable basements, but also energy savings from not having to constantly heat their basements. More importantly, our basement insulation lasts a long time, so you never have to worry about water leaking in through your foundation. |
Roof insulation
Roof insulation is an essential but often overlooked area of the home. It is common for a contractor or roofing company to try to get by with proper attic insulation, not paying much attention to the roof. This is a big mistake as the average house in Glenview, IL loses roughly 15% of its inside air through the roof. Roof insulation blocks absorption of hot sunlight in the summer, and it keeps warm air from rising out of the home in the winter. This leads to large utility bill savings over time.
Our contractors at Glenview Insulation are local experts for roof insulation in the Glenview area. We know how homes are built and where existing roof insulation lacks because we have updated hundreds of homes. We know the R value requirements and the materials that work in both the cold winters and hot summers in Glenview. Our contractors can install rigid boards, blow in, loose fill, spray foam, insulation batts, and much more depending on your roof build, budget, and personal needs. Our partner roofing company can install roofing for a complete solution. What makes us special is that we have experience insulating not just roofs, but also attics, walls, basements, crawl spaces, and other areas of the home. Our contractors have done several projects installing both attic and roof insulation to make the attic a usable space for living or storage. These types of projects not only help our customers save hundreds every year on their utility bill (the average Glenview customer sees a decrease of 20-45% in energy usage), but also increase the value of their home. This makes roof insulation a worthwhile investment that will save you time and money in the long-run. When we conduct your free inspection, we will plan out the type of materials like rigid, cellulose, spray foam, or fiberglass that should be used. We often use soundproof insulation to keep out noise pollution from overhead planes flying out of O’Hare. Fill out the contact form and we’ll show you how we can install roof insulation in your Glenview home at an affordable price. |

"They really took the time to inspect every inch of my attic. After finding multiple leakage points, they removed the old insulation and put in fresh insulation, then used spray foam to seal the gaps. My attic is now warm enough to be used as storage!"
