Attic insulation, radiant barrier, ventilation and removal for Sarasota homes of every era. We work in Sarasota and across Sarasota County, including Downtown Sarasota, Laurel Park, Gulf Gate, Siesta Key, Southgate.
Homes in Sarasota
Sarasota is where the housing stock varies most. Downtown and Laurel Park have historic bungalows and cottages, and the Sarasota School of Architecture left behind mid-century modern houses with low-slope roofs and shallow attics. Gulf Gate and Southgate are largely 1950s to 1970s block ranches, and Siesta Key has everything from original beach cottages to rebuilt elevated homes. A newer house in Sarasota may be well insulated, but an older one often is not.
Heat and humidity in Sarasota
Sarasota is on the bay, so humidity is high and sea air reaches deep into town. Summer attics regularly run much hotter than the air outside, and in low-slope or shallow attics there is little volume to absorb the heat. Mid-century roofs, flat or low-pitched, can be especially hard to ventilate.
Attic problems we see in Sarasota
In Sarasota we regularly see attics with thin 1970s-era insulation, tight spaces where earlier installers could not reach the eaves, and ductwork running through the hottest part of the roof. Water intrusion from old roofs has left wet or moldy insulation in some homes, and the older neighborhoods have their share of rodents. A musty attic smell is often the first clue.
Which services fit Sarasota homes
Sarasota homes can use the full range of our services. Blown-in insulation reaches into awkward corners better than batts. Removal and replacement suits attics with water damage, mold or pest contamination, and Attic Fresh treats the odor that remains. Radiant barrier and solar attic fans address heat in shallow roofs, and the Draft Master stairway insulator suits any home with a hatch or pull-down stairs.
Our Commitment to Quality and Service in Sarasota: We’re dedicated to providing Sarasota homeowners with not only the best products, like our Draft Master Attic Stairway Insulators, but also with exceptional service and dependable warranties. Trust us to handle everything from insulation removals to fresh installations, all aimed at improving your home’s energy performance and reducing your cooling costs.
- Attic Insulation. Blown-in insulation brought up to a depth that suits a Gulf Coast attic, to hold in cool air and cut cooling costs.
- Insulation Removal. Old, wet, rodent-soiled or moldy insulation taken out and replaced, so the attic starts clean.
- Radiant Barrier. Spray-applied HeatBloc Ultra on the underside of the roof deck reflects radiant heat before it reaches the attic floor.
- Solar Attic Fans. Sun-powered fans that pull hot, humid air out of the attic and keep passive vents from doing all the work.
- Stairway Insulators. An insulated, zippered cover that seals the attic hatch or pull-down stairs against hot air, dust and insects.
- Attic Fresh. An enzyme treatment that breaks down organic waste and odor left by rodents, moisture and mold.
What happens at your Sarasota attic visit
We start by looking at what is already in your attic: how deep and how dry the insulation is, whether there are signs of pests or past leaks, how well the vents are moving air, and where the house is leaking air into the attic. Then we explain what we found, which fixes matter most and which can wait. You get a clear quote before any work begins, and you decide what to do.
