A Visalia insulation contractor, licensed and insured
We're licensed and insured, and we back our work with satisfaction guaranteed on every job. In California, the state license board requires a license for any job that needs a building permit, uses extra workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and that $1,000 counts every contract on the project, not just ours. You can read more about our business and how we work.
About our businessI learned this trade insulating new houses while they were going up, when every wall was open and every gap was easy to reach. Lived-in homes are harder, with old insulation, wiring, ducts and stored boxes in the way, so I started EnergyFit Visalia Insulation Solutions in Visalia in 2023 to do that work carefully.
Insulation contractor services in Visalia, CA
EnergyFit Visalia Insulation Solutions is an insulation contractor in Visalia, CA, offering 16 services for attics, walls, crawl spaces and commercial buildings. Most calls start with a hot upstairs, a drafty room over the garage, cold floors or a power bill that keeps climbing. What moves the price is how big the space is, how many inches are already up there, whether old insulation has to come out first and how many gaps need sealing. The schedule turns on the same things, plus any permit and any repair another trade needs to make before we start. Your free estimate comes in writing, with photos and each step listed in order.
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam goes on as a liquid and expands to fill the cavity, so it insulates and seals air in one pass. It suits rooflines, rim joists and odd spaces where batts and loose fill won't stay put.
Attic insulation
Is your upstairs hot by afternoon? We check how many inches are already up there, seal the gaps and bring the attic to an even depth all the way out to the eaves.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is loose fill blown through a hose, which lets us reach low corners and fill around framing without leaving holes. It's the usual way to top up an attic that already has some insulation.
Home insulation
This is for homeowners who want the whole house looked at, not just one room. We go through the attic, walls and crawl space, then list what each part needs in the order it should be done.
Insulation removal
When old insulation is soaked, flattened or full of droppings, laying new material over it keeps the problem. We bag it out and clean up so the attic starts fresh.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors usually trace back to the crawl space under them. We insulate between the floor joists so the rooms above stay closer to the temperature you set.
Wall insulation
We add insulation to the walls of lived-in homes, usually through small holes we plug when we're done. During a remodel or addition, we fill the open walls before the drywall goes up.
Air sealing services
What is air sealing? It's closing the gaps where air slips in and out of the house, around doors, outlets, plumbing and the wall to the garage, so drafts stop where they start.
Basement insulation
We insulate basement walls and rim joists, the wood band that sits on top of the foundation. That keeps a finished basement, and the floor above it, warmer.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is dense foam that blocks moisture as well as air and heat. It's the foam for spots where dampness is part of the problem, such as rim joists and crawl space walls.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is softer and lighter than closed-cell, and it costs less while still sealing air and quieting sound. It's a common pick for rooflines and inside walls where moisture isn't the concern.
Commercial insulation
This is for property managers and business owners whose building needs insulation planned around other work, like a remodel, a roof job or a tenant change. We set the order with your other trades so nothing gets covered before it's ready.
Crawl space vapor barrier
We lay heavy plastic sheeting over the crawl space dirt and seal its seams. That keeps ground moisture from rising into the floor framing above it.
Vapor barrier installation
A vapor barrier is a layer that slows moisture moving through a wall, floor or ceiling. We install one where the plan calls for it and leave it out where it would trap water.
Attic air sealing
Before we add anything to your attic, we seal the gaps around can lights, pipes, wiring and the hatch from above. That keeps attic air out of your rooms and lets the insulation do its job.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation means adding insulation to a house that's already built and lived in, working around the wiring, ducts and stored boxes. It's the work I started this business to do.
Why homeowners in Visalia call us
Most people call because a room won't stay comfortable no matter what the thermostat says. Here's how we keep the work honest from the first look to the final check. When you're ready, call (559) 409-1169 or fill out the form below.
Leaks sealed before insulation goes in
We close the gaps around can lights, pipes and the attic hatch first, because insulation laid over an open leak just fights a draft. That way the comfort you're paying for actually reaches your rooms.
A written estimate you can compare line by line
Your estimate comes with photos of what we found and every step listed in the order we'll do it. You can set it next to another bid and see exactly where they differ.
The same person estimates and checks the work
I walk your home for the estimate, our trained installers do the work, and I check it against that estimate before we call it finished. The plan you agreed to is the plan the crew follows.
How we work, in the order it happens
I come out myself and look before I talk price, because what's already up there decides the job. If the old insulation is soaked or full of droppings, it comes out first, since covering it only hides the problem. Once the gaps are sealed, we lay new material to an even depth right out to the edges, where attics usually run thin, and we keep the eave vents clear so the attic can breathe and moisture doesn't settle in the framing.
Foam costs more and seals air while it insulates, but in most attics sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in gets you there for less. The exception is when your ductwork runs through the attic, and with foam everyone, kids and pets included, stays out until the re-entry time, the wait before you can come back inside, has passed. If I find something that belongs to another trade, I'll say so and plan around it rather than cover it up. Before work starts we check with the city or county office for your address, which in Visalia is the city's Building Safety Division, and when a permit is needed we apply for it as your licensed contractor and meet the inspector on site.
