We're an insulation crew based in Redondo Beach, and in Del Aire we seal and top up attics, pull out old insulation, and insulate crawl spaces and walls. We show you what's up there before anyone picks up a tool.

Most homes in Del Aire are lived in by the people who own them, so the calls we get here usually come from someone who's put up with a problem for a while. It's a room that never feels right, a power bill that climbs every summer, or an attic nobody's opened since they moved in.
When I get up there, it's usually one of a few things. The insulation has settled thin, the gaps around lights and pipes were never sealed, or the eave vents got buried and the attic can't breathe. I'd rather show you which one it is than guess, because each one has a different fix.
Send the form or call (424) 254-3847, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I'll come out to your Del Aire house, walk it with you and go up into the attic or crawl space, free and with no obligation. Afterward you get photos of what I found and a written plan that shows what comes first and why.
(424) 254-3847Most of our work in Del Aire starts in the attic, where we seal the gaps around can lights, pipes and the hatch before we blow in loose fill through a hose, so the new insulation isn't fighting a draft. If the old material is soaked or full of droppings, we pull it out first, because covering it just buries the problem. We also insulate walls and crawl spaces, and we handle commercial insulation for businesses nearby.
Del Aire isn't its own city, so Los Angeles County acts as its local government, and LA County Public Works is the office that issues building permits here. Its permits cover alterations and repairs as well as installing or upgrading electrical and mechanical systems, so if your insulation job runs into that kind of work, the start date waits on the county. When a job calls for a permit, I look up what the county asks for at your address, tell you at the estimate, and we handle the application as part of the job. Before you hire anyone, you can check a contractor's license with the Contractors State License Board, which licenses and regulates contractors across California, while the county's own business license only applies to businesses located in its unincorporated areas, for certain kinds of work.
We're an insulation contractor based in Redondo Beach, close enough that I come out to Del Aire myself and climb into the attic. What moves the price here is what's already up there and what has to happen before new material goes in, like how many inches you have, whether old insulation has to come out, how many gaps need sealing and whether ductwork runs through the attic. The schedule turns on the same things plus any permit, and the written plan you get after the estimate puts it all in order with photos of what I found.
I take pictures of what's up there, the depth of what you've got, the gaps, any wet or dirty spots, and go through them with you. Then you get a written plan that lists what comes first and why, so you decide with the facts in front of you.
I do every estimate myself and walk the house with you. Our crew does the installs, and I check their work on site against the written plan. We're licensed and fully insured, and every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Foam costs more and seals air as it insulates, but sealing the gaps and topping up the loose fill usually does the job for less. I steer you to foam mostly when the ductwork runs through the attic. Call (424) 254-3847 to set up a visit.
There's no honest number until I've been in your attic, because the price depends on what's up there now and what has to be fixed before new insulation goes in. At the free estimate I measure what you've got, take photos and write up a plan that lists each step in order. That way you see where the money goes before you decide anything.
I find that out for your job before anything starts, and I'll tell you at the estimate what the county asks for at your address. The county issues permits for alterations, repairs and installing or upgrading electrical or mechanical systems, so what your job touches matters. You can also ask the local Public Works office directly what your project needs.
Look it up on the county's Z-Net tool, which shows whether an address is in an unincorporated area or in a city, along with its zoning. Don't go by your ZIP code, because a lot of ZIP codes in the county cross the line between unincorporated areas and cities. It matters because a property outside county jurisdiction may have a different office handling its permit.
No more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the total contract price, whichever is less, under the state contractors board's rules. Every other payment has to be listed in the contract and tied to work completed or materials delivered. The board says these rules apply to all home improvement projects.
That depends on the size of the attic and whether old insulation has to come out first, and the timing goes in your written plan once I've been up there. With air sealing and loose fill, you can usually stay home while we work. Foam is different because it has a re-entry time, the wait before people and pets can come back inside, and I'll go over that with you if foam is part of the plan.
