ATTIC RENOVATIONS
Attic Renovation Services in Omaha & Surrounding Areas
Most insulation companies just add more insulation. We fix the problem at its source.
Our Attic Renovation Service is a complete attic reset — designed to eliminate contamination, improve air quality, correct ventilation issues, and rebuild your attic insulation system the right way.
Using our commercial-grade 40HP insulation vacuum system, we completely remove old insulation, debris, and contaminants — then rebuild your attic for performance, comfort, and long-term durability.
When Is an Attic Renovation Needed?
You may need a full attic renovation if you have:
• Rodent or wildlife contamination
• Mouse or bat droppings
• Strong attic odors
• Mold concerns
• Mixed or poorly installed insulation
• Severe settling or low insulation levels
• Ice damming or ventilation issues
• Bathroom fans venting into the attic
• High energy bills or comfort problems
If your attic has contamination or airflow problems, simply adding insulation won’t solve it.
Our Attic Renovation approach
Step 1: Complete Insulation & Contaminant Removal
We use a powerful 40HP commercial vacuum system to safely and thoroughly remove:
• Loose-fill fiberglass
• Cellulose insulation
• Fiberglass batts
• Rodent nests
• Droppings and contaminated materials
• Debris and dust
Unlike small portable machines, our high-powered system allows for faster, cleaner, and more complete removal.
This gives us a clean slate to properly evaluate your attic structure and airflow.
Step 2: Attic Cleaning & Sanitizing
After removal, we:
• Clean remaining debris
• Treat affected areas with a professional sanitizing solution
• Neutralize odors caused by rodents or contamination
• Address bacteria and organic matter left behind
This step is critical when dealing with mouse, raccoon, or bat contamination.
Step 3: Ventilation Corrections
Proper insulation cannot perform without proper ventilation.
During your attic renovation, we:
• Evaluate intake and exhaust ventilation
• Add or correct soffit intake vents
• Improve exhaust ventilation (box vents, ridge vents, solar vents etc.)
• Ensure bath fans are properly vented outside the roof — not into the attic
In Nebraska’s climate (hot summers, cold winters), improper ventilation can cause condensation, mold, and ice dams. We correct it before rebuilding your insulation system.
Step 4: Professional Air Sealing
Before new insulation is installed, we air seal:
• Top plates
• Electrical penetrations
• Plumbing stacks
• Recessed lights
• Chimney gaps
• Attic hatches
Air sealing prevents warm, humid air from entering the attic — which reduces condensation risk and increases energy efficiency.
This is one of the most important (and most overlooked) steps
Step 5: Rebuild With New Insulation
Finally, we install new blown-in insulation to meet or exceed recommended R-values for Climate Zone 5 (typically R38 to R60).
Your attic is now:
-
Clean
-
Sanitized
-
Properly ventilated
-
Air sealed
-
Professionally insulated
Is Attic Renovation Worth It?
If your attic has contamination, odors, rodent damage, or major airflow issues — absolutely.
Adding insulation on top of contaminated material can trap odors and moisture inside your attic system.
A full attic renovation ensures your home is rebuilt properly from the attic floor up.

Insulation Removal vs. Adding Insulation Over the Top
Many homeowners ask: “Can’t we just add more insulation over what’s already there?”
Sometimes yes. But often, that’s not the right solution. Here’s the difference.
When Adding Over the Top Makes Sense
Adding insulation over existing material can be appropriate if:
• The existing insulation is clean and dry
• No rodent contamination is present
• There are no mold concerns
• Ventilation is balanced
• Air sealing has already been addressed
• Insulation hasn’t significantly settled
In these cases, topping off to reach R-49 to R-60 can be a cost-effective upgrade
When Removal Is the Better InvestmenT
Adding insulation over problems does not fix them.
Removal is the better option when:
• There is rodent droppings or urine contamination
• You smell odors coming from the attic
• Insulation is matted, compacted, or mixed materials
• Bathroom fans vent into the attic
• There are ventilation imbalances
• Ice damming has occurred
• There are moisture or condensation issues
• You want proper air sealing (which can’t be done properly with insulation in place)
If insulation is contaminated, adding more over the top can:
• Trap odors
• Seal in bacteria
• Hide moisture problems
• Make future repairs more expensive
The Hidden Problem With “Blow Over” Jobs
When companies add insulation without removing old material:
Air leaks remain open underneath
Rodent contamination stays buried
Ventilation issues remain unresolved
Moisture can become trapped between layers
Performance is limited by what’s underneath
It’s like putting new carpet over a dirty floor. It may look better — but the problem is still there.
The Bottom Line
If your attic is clean and performing well, adding insulation may be enough. If your attic has contamination, odors, moisture issues, or airflow problems — removal and renovation is the right move. We’ll inspect your attic and give you an honest recommendation.
No pressure. Just facts.
