We're an insulation company based in Redondo Beach, and we work in Gardena on attics, crawl spaces and walls that haven't been looked at in years. I'll show you what's up there before anyone picks up a tool.

Most of the Gardena houses we walk are one-story homes on flat lots, and a lot of them are old enough that nobody's looked in the attic in years. What's up there is often thin and packed down, sometimes dusty or chewed through, with gaps around the can lights and the hatch where air slips right past it.
Plenty of these homes also sit on raised floors over a crawl space, which is where cold floors and drafty rooms usually start. When Gardena homeowners call us, it's usually a back bedroom or the room over the garage that never feels right, or a power bill they can't explain.
Send the form or call (424) 254-3847, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out to your Gardena house myself, walk it with you and give you a free on-site estimate. There's no obligation to go ahead.
(424) 254-3847In Gardena most of our calls start in the attic, where we do attic air sealing, closing the gaps around lights, pipes and the hatch, and then top up with blown-in insulation, loose fill we blow in through a hose. When the old fill is soaked or full of droppings, insulation removal comes first so the problem doesn't get buried. Older houses here often have bare walls, and wall insulation can go into them without tearing out the drywall. Raised floors get crawl space insulation and a vapor barrier, and when the ductwork runs through the attic we'll talk about spray foam insulation.
In Gardena, permits come from the city's Building Services at City Hall, so when your job needs one, the start date waits on it. Before you hire anyone, check two things: a current state contractor license, and a Gardena business license, which the city requires of anyone working here, even a company based in another city like ours.
When a permit is needed, we look up what the city asks for your address and handle the application as part of the job, and I'll tell you what I found at the estimate. Price and schedule both move with how much old insulation has to come out, how many gaps need sealing, how hard the attic or crawl space is to reach, and whether foam or loose fill fits, and the written plan from your estimate puts your own job on paper. We do the same work next door in Hawthorne and Torrance, where we see a lot of the same kinds of houses.
I do every estimate myself and walk the house with you. You get photos of what we found in the attic or under the floor, plus a written plan that shows what comes first and why, so you understand your own house before you decide anything.
Foam costs more and seals air while it insulates, so it earns its price when the ductwork lives in the attic. Most of the time, sealing the gaps and topping up loose fill gets you there for less, and I'll tell you so.
Our crew does the installs, and I check the work on site: vents clear, gaps sealed, depth even out to the edges. The job's backed by our satisfaction guarantee, and you can start with a call to (424) 254-3847.
The city's permit list doesn't settle it for insulation, so we check for your address before work starts. Gardena's examples of permit work are things like re-roofs, window change-outs and electrical or plumbing upgrades, and insulation isn't named either way. Starting permit-required work without one quadruples the fees, which is why I'd rather look it up than guess.
Yes, in almost every case. The state contractors board requires a license for any job that needs a building permit, uses employees, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials together, so any company sending a crew needs one. We're licensed and fully insured.
You get your price from a free walk-through, because it turns on what's already in your attic. The biggest swing is old material that's soaked or full of droppings, since it has to come out before anything new goes in, and sometimes you only see how bad it is once it's pulled back. Foam costs more than blown-in fill, so the type you pick moves the number too.
The city says typical over-the-counter permits, like fences and water heaters, usually come back in three business days. Insulation isn't one of the city's examples, so we plan your start date around whatever your address turns out to need.
For blown-in work you can usually stay home, and our time up there depends mostly on whether old insulation has to come out first. With spray foam, the foam maker sets a re-entry time, how long before people and pets can come back inside, and we give you that before we start. I'll tell you how long we expect to be up there once I've seen your attic.
Fix what's wrong up there before adding anything, because new insulation over a bad attic just hides the problem. That means pulling out soaked or dirty material, sealing the gaps around lights, pipes and the hatch, and keeping the eave vents clear so the attic can breathe. Then the new fill goes in even, full depth out to the edges, and you can call (424) 254-3847 or use the form to get started.
