Insulation Contractors in Asheville, NC

4 local businesses listed

Insulation is the cheapest comfort upgrade most Asheville homes can make, and the most commonly skipped. A lot of the local housing stock was built before insulation was taken seriously, which means uninsulated crawl spaces, a few inches of settled attic material, and walls that were never touched. In a climate with real winters and warm, humid summers, that shows up on every utility bill in both directions.

Crawl spaces deserve their own mention. Encapsulating and insulating a crawl space typically does more for comfort and moisture than adding attic insulation, because it addresses the damp air being pulled up into the house.

The contractors here are Asheville-based, working in spray foam, blown-in, batt insulation, air sealing, and encapsulation.

Get an energy assessment before you buy insulation. Air sealing usually returns more per dollar than added R-value, and a contractor who leads with a blower door test rather than a product recommendation is the one worth listening to.
