Insulation Company in Bloomington, CA
Blown in insulation is the most common fix we handle in Bloomington’s older homes, where decades of 100-degree summers have settled and compacted whatever was originally installed in the attic. Homes here, most built between the 1950s and 1970s with wood-frame construction and stucco exteriors, were rarely insulated to anything close to modern standards. That means cooling costs climb every summer while upstairs rooms never quite match the thermostat. Hollywood Insulation Co brings three installation methods and eight manufacturer brands to every Bloomington job, so the recommendation fits your home rather than whatever’s on the truck. Call (866) 605-6949 for a free estimate.
Why Bloomington Homes Are Different
Bloomington sits in the Inland Empire’s hot, dry belt where summer temperatures routinely cross 100°F and attic spaces can hit 150°F or more. That kind of sustained thermal loading degrades standard insulation faster than homeowners expect, and it means cooling, not heating, dominates energy use here. Insulation in this climate has to resist radiant heat gain first, with winter warmth as a secondary benefit. The low humidity and occasional Santa Ana winds add another wrinkle: vapor control matters less than air sealing, but fire resistance becomes a real consideration when dry winds pick up.
The housing stock compounds these problems. Many Bloomington homes still have their original blown-in insulation, now settled into a thin, ineffective layer at the bottom of the attic cavity. We regularly find attics where insulation depth has dropped from a nominal R-30 to something closer to R-11 or R-13, simply because the material compacted over 40 or 50 years. Add in older windows, unsealed wall penetrations, and additions or converted garages that never got proper insulation in the first place, and you get rooms that fight the air conditioner all summer. This is a working-class community with a strong DIY culture, so a meaningful share of our work involves correcting previous partial or improvised installations rather than starting fresh on new construction.
Our Main Bloomington Services
Bloomington homeowners call us most often about two projects: getting heat out of the attic and sealing the building envelope against air leakage. Both make an immediate difference in summer cooling costs.
Attic Insulation in Bloomington
Attic insulation is the highest-impact upgrade for most Bloomington homes because the attic is where heat gain concentrates. When outdoor temperatures pass 100°F, an under-insulated attic can transfer enough heat into living spaces to make the air conditioner run almost continuously. We assess what’s already up there, whether it’s settled cellulose from the 1970s or a thin layer of fiberglass batts, then build it up to a level that actually resists Inland Empire summers. Air sealing around top plates, light fixtures, and plumbing penetrations goes hand-in-hand with the insulation itself. See Attic Insulation in Bloomington for the full breakdown.
Spray Foam Insulation in Bloomington
Spray foam solves a problem batt and blown-in materials can’t fully address: air leakage through the building envelope. Older Bloomington homes tend to leak air around rim joists, can lights, and wall intersections, and that leakage defeats even good insulation. Closed-cell foam from Icynene or Demilec air-seals and insulates in one pass, which matters when Santa Ana winds push hot, dry air against the house or pull conditioned air out through gaps. Open-cell foam works well in wall cavities where sound control and cost are priorities. Learn more at Spray Foam Insulation in Bloomington.

Blown In Insulation in Bloomington
Blown in insulation is our most requested service in Bloomington because it’s the fastest, most effective way to restore thermal performance to attics in older homes without major demolition. Most houses built here between the 1950s and 1970s had some insulation installed originally, but it has settled, compacted, or been disturbed by wiring and plumbing work over the decades. We blow new material over the existing layer to bring the attic back up to a true R-value, cutting heat gain from summer attic temperatures that regularly exceed 150°F. For a closer look at the method itself, see Blown In Insulation.
Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
Rooms below the attic feel noticeably hotter than the rest of the house in summer even with the AC running, and the attic floor is visibly uneven with thin spots.
What it costs in Bloomington
Cellulose insulation in Bloomington typically runs $1.10 to $1.85 per square foot installed, with attic jobs on a 1,200-square-foot home usually falling between $1,500 and $2,400.
How we do it
We air-seal the attic floor, install baffles at the eaves to protect ventilation, then blow GreenFiber recycled cellulose to the specified depth and density across the entire attic floor.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic insulation measures under six inches deep in most areas, or you can feel heat radiating from the ceiling on hot Bloomington afternoons.
What it costs in Bloomington
Blown in attic insulation in Bloomington generally costs $1,200 to $3,400 depending on attic size, access difficulty, and the chosen material.
How we do it
We run a hose to the attic, set the blower depth guides, and apply material in even passes until the attic reaches the target R-value, usually R-38 to R-49 for this climate.
What Blown In Insulation Costs in Bloomington
| Item | Typical range in Bloomington |
|---|---|
| Cellulose attic insulation installed | $1,500 – $2,400 |
| Fiberglass blown in attic insulation | $1,200 – $3,400 |
| Air sealing before blown in insulation | $350 – $900 |
How long does blown in insulation last in Bloomington’s heat?
Cellulose and fiberglass both hold up well to Bloomington’s heat, but attic temperatures over 150°F can accelerate settling. With proper depth and density, you should get 20 to 30 years of effective performance before it needs a top-up. Call (866) 605-6949 for a free attic assessment.
Can you blow insulation over old, settled material?
Yes, in most Bloomington homes we blow new material directly over the existing layer after air sealing and checking for moisture or pest issues. This avoids the cost and mess of removing old insulation while restoring full R-value. Call (866) 605-6949 to schedule an inspection.
Brands We Service in Bloomington
We install Rockwool mineral wool for fire resistance and sound control, CertainTeed fiberglass for reliable batt and blown applications, and Icynene spray foam systems for air sealing and high R-value performance. Parts and materials for these systems are stocked for Bloomington jobs, so most projects start within days of the estimate. See our brands for details.
