Insulation Company in Highgrove, CA
Woolsey Attic Insulation is the insulation company Highgrove homeowners call when their attic stops doing its job. Highgrove sits in the inland Santa Ana River valley, where summer highs above 105°F hit mid-century tract homes that were built with minimal insulation long before anyone treated Inland Empire heat as an engineering problem. Most attics we open here reveal R-values far below current California Title 24 requirements. If your energy bills spike every July and the upstairs never cools down, call (325) 240-5411 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Highgrove Homes Are Different
Highgrove is an unincorporated community governed by Riverside County rather than any city, which means insulation permits and inspections route through the County of Riverside Building and Safety Department. That process regularly catches contractors off-guard if they primarily work in neighboring Riverside or San Bernardino, but it’s routine for us. What matters more for your comfort is the housing stock itself: modest single-family homes built between the 1940s and 1970s, many originally housing agricultural and industrial workers. The original fiberglass batts in these attics have settled, moisture-cycled, or been displaced by rodents over decades. Wall cavities are frequently uninsulated entirely, so whole-envelope upgrades are the norm here rather than attic-only jobs.
Then there’s the climate. Highgrove regularly sees summer highs above 105°F with 30-to-40-degree overnight drops. That thermal cycling degrades batt insulation faster than steady heat ever could, and periodic Santa Ana wind events drive hot, pressurized dry air through every envelope gap. Coastal contractors don’t routinely account for that, but it’s the baseline for every Highgrove job we quote.
Our Main Highgrove Services
Highgrove homeowners call us most often about two things: attic insulation that’s no longer doing its job, and spray foam for the stubborn gaps and uninsulated wall cavities common in these older homes.
Attic Insulation in Highgrove
Most attics in Highgrove’s older core have fiberglass batts that settled years ago, often shoved aside in large patches from decades of informal storage use. That leaves zero effective R-value directly above bedrooms and living areas, a condition that shows up on thermal cameras as a bright hot rectangle even on mild afternoons. We remove the failed material, air-seal the attic floor, and install new insulation sized for the Santa Ana wind pressure Highgrove gets every fall. Attic Insulation in Highgrove covers what we find, what we install, and what it costs.
Spray Foam Insulation in Highgrove
Spray foam insulation, a two-part liquid that expands on contact and seals gaps airtight, is the material of choice for the uninsulated wall cavities and rim joists common in 1940s-to-1970s Highgrove construction. Open-cell foam also handles the intense thermal cycling here better than rigid boards because it flexes with the building as temperatures swing from 105°F days to cool desert nights. Spray Foam Insulation in Highgrove explains open-cell versus closed-cell, where each makes sense, and typical costs.

What Highgrove Customers Say
"Drafty old house that never felt comfortable. After the attic and some air sealing it's a different place. On time, clean, and the quote didn't change. Wish I'd done it years ago."
- Dmitri Kozlov"Spray foam in the crawlspace and new attic insulation. They wrote up the whole price and the two jobs came in exactly as quoted. Floors upstairs aren't freezing in the morning anymore."
- Nathan Pruitt"Showed up on time, laid down protection on the floors, and were careful going into the attic. Explained exactly what they were doing and why. House holds its heat so much better now."
