Attic insulation installation

Our Services

Insulation Built for Florida's Climate

Every service we offer is engineered around one reality: South Florida is one of the most demanding thermal environments in the country. We don't cut corners.

High-Density Blown Fiberglass

The gold standard for Florida attics

High-Density Blown Fiberglass

High-density blown fiberglass is our most-recommended solution for South Florida homes. Unlike batts or low-density alternatives, blown fiberglass conforms to every joist, gap, and irregular surface — creating a seamless thermal blanket with no voids or compression points.

Moisture-resistant — won't absorb humidity or support mold growth
Inorganic material — no food source for pests or insects
Seamless coverage — no gaps, no thermal bridging
Long-term R-value stability — doesn't degrade in Florida heat

Blown-In Cellulose Insulation

Eco-friendly performance for older homes

Blown-In Cellulose Insulation

Blown-in cellulose is made from recycled paper fiber treated with fire retardants and borate compounds. It's an excellent choice for homeowners seeking an eco-friendly option or for older homes where fiberglass may not be the best fit. Cellulose fills irregular cavities exceptionally well.

Up to 85% recycled content — lowest embodied carbon option
Dense-pack capability — ideal for wall cavities and tight spaces
Excellent sound dampening properties
Borate treatment deters insects and resists fire

Meticulous Attic Air Sealing

The step most contractors skip

Meticulous Attic Air Sealing

Air sealing is the most critical — and most overlooked — step in any attic insulation project. Without sealing the bypasses first, even R-60 insulation will underperform. Hot, humid Florida air infiltrates through plumbing penetrations, electrical gaps, recessed light housings, and HVAC chases.

Stops hot humid air infiltration at the source
Reduces HVAC runtime and extends equipment life
Prevents moisture-laden air from reaching conditioned space
Required for maximum energy savings — insulation alone isn't enough
Material Specs
MethodTwo-part spray foam + caulk
TargetsPlumbing, electrical, HVAC penetrations

How It Works

Our Installation Process

Every Cardinal job follows the same proven sequence — no shortcuts.

01

Free Attic Assessment

We inspect your current insulation depth, R-value, air sealing condition, and any moisture or pest issues. You get an honest report — no upselling.

02

Air Sealing First

Before a single bag of insulation is opened, we seal every bypass we can find. This is non-negotiable on every Cardinal job.

03

Precision Installation

Material is blown to the exact depth required for your target R-value, verified with depth gauges placed across the attic floor.

04

Final Inspection & Documentation

We photograph the finished installation, document the R-value achieved, and provide paperwork for permits or future home sales.

Not Sure Which Service You Need?

Our free assessment tells you exactly what your attic needs — and what it doesn't. No pressure, no upsell.
