What We Usually Find in a Granada Hills Attic

Common findings

  • Too little attic insulation
  • Old wood shingle pieces and debris
  • Often no wall insulation at all
  • An attic that needs a deep retrofit to get back up to par

Why the shingle debris matters

  • Many homes here originally had wood shingle roofs
  • Attics are often full of old shingle pieces and debris
  • Removing the old insulation gives a clean slate for the retrofit

The Typical Granada Hills Job: A Deep Attic Retrofit

Every house is different, but this is the path most Granada Hills retrofits follow.

1

Evaluate the attic

We go up and look at insulation depth, debris, and the condition of the attic before recommending anything.

2

Remove old insulation and debris

We clear out the old insulation and the shingle debris. See Attic Insulation Removal.

3

Seal and prep

With the attic floor clear, we seal gaps into the living space. See Air Sealing.

4

Install new insulation

We bring the attic back up to par, usually with Blown-In Attic Insulation.

Then the Walls

A lot of 1950s Granada Hills homes have no wall insulation at all. Drill and fill insulates existing walls without tearing them open.

Frequently Asked Questions

My inspection report didn't mention the attic. Should I still have it checked?
Yes. In Granada Hills, attic problems often get missed on the inspection report, so buyers move in with a repair list. A look in the attic tells you what is actually up there.
What is all the debris in my attic?
Many Granada Hills homes originally had wood shingle roofs, so attics are full of old shingle pieces and debris. It comes out as part of a removal and retrofit.
What is a deep attic retrofit?
It means taking the attic back to a clean starting point and bringing it up to par: removing old insulation and debris, sealing, and installing new insulation to the right depth, rather than adding a thin layer over the top. Many Granada Hills homes need this.
Do Granada Hills homes have wall insulation?
Often there is none at all in the 1950s homes. We can add it with drill and fill.
Can I get the LADWP attic insulation rebate?
Granada Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so homes there are generally LADWP electric customers and may qualify for the LADWP attic insulation rebate. We pull the permit, prepare the rebate paperwork and photos, and schedule the inspection. Program rules change, so confirm the current terms with LADWP before the project.
