Insulation Company in Moreno Valley, CA
Blown in insulation is the most common request we get from Moreno Valley homeowners, and for good reason. The city’s 1980s-2000s tract homes still carry builder-grade R-11 and R-19 batts that were never enough for the Inland Empire’s 100°F summer days. We’re Hollywood Insulation Co, a dedicated insulation specialist serving Moreno Valley’s 92551, 92553, and 92554 ZIPs. Our focus is one trade: making sure the insulation actually matches what this valley’s heat demands. Call (866) 605-6949 when you’re ready to talk about your attic.
Why Moreno Valley Homes Are Different
Moreno Valley sits far enough inland that the coastal marine layer burns off early and stays gone. Summer highs routinely run 15-20 degrees hotter than Los Angeles, and attic temperatures in the city’s stucco tract homes regularly hit 140-150°F by mid-afternoon. That’s not a comfort problem. It’s a radiant heat load problem that pushes straight through builder-grade insulation and into living space.
The homes we work in were built fast during the March Air Reserve Base expansion era. Thousands were framed and insulated to minimum code, which in that period meant R-11 walls and R-19 attic batts. Three decades later, those batts are compressed, dusty, and sitting over top plates and can lights that were never air sealed. In the Sunnymead and older March-area neighborhoods, we find leaky recessed-can fixtures and duct chases that act as open chimneys for heat. Adding R-value without sealing those bypasses first is a waste of material. Moreno Valley’s dominant load is heat gain, not heat loss, so the strategy here is different from a coastal city: air seal first, then insulate, and consider a radiant barrier for the big south-facing roof planes.
Our Main Moreno Valley Services
Two services dominate our work in Moreno Valley: attic insulation and spray foam. Here’s how each applies to the city’s specific housing stock and climate.
Attic Insulation in Moreno Valley
Most Moreno Valley attics we inspect are still running original fiberglass batts from the 1980s and 1990s, often unevenly installed and compressed below their rated R-value. The fix usually means air sealing the top plates and can lights first, then adding blown-in fiberglass or cellulose to bring the assembly up to what this climate actually needs. In the tract homes across ZIPs 92551 through 92554, that’s typically R-38 to R-49 at minimum. We carry Owens Corning, Johns Manville, and GreenFiber options so the material choice follows the attic’s condition, not whatever is on the truck. Read more about Attic Insulation in Moreno Valley.
Spray Foam Insulation in Moreno Valley
Spray foam earns its place in Moreno Valley when the attic has complex geometry, knee walls, or when homeowners want air sealing and insulation in one pass. The hot, dry climate makes open-cell Icynene a strong fit for vented attics, while closed-cell Demilec handles the roof decks and unvented designs some Moreno Valley homeowners choose for extreme heat rejection. It’s a higher-performance material, and it’s not right for every house. When the attic is a simple open cavity with a good roof, blown-in or batts often do the job at lower cost. When we do spray foam the job is exact. See Spray Foam Insulation in Moreno Valley for the full picture.

Blown In Insulation in Moreno Valley
Blown in insulation solves a specific Moreno Valley problem: attics built with thin fiberglass batts that never kept heat out, now brittle and compressed after 20-40 summer seasons. We install both blown-in cellulose and blown-in fiberglass across the city’s tract homes, and the process starts with finding every air bypass before material goes down. Blown-in material fills the irregular cavities and gaps those old batts missed, and it’s the single most cost-effective upgrade for most Moreno Valley attics.

Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
You walk upstairs in July and it’s 10 degrees hotter than downstairs, or your AC runs all afternoon without holding 78°F.
What it costs in Moreno Valley
Cellulose insulation in Moreno Valley attics typically runs $1.20 to $2.30 per square foot, depending on depth and the condition of the existing material.
How we do it
We seal top plates, can lights, and duct chases first, then blow GreenFiber recycled cellulose to the target R-value using a calibrated machine and depth markers.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic insulation looks settled below the tops of the ceiling joists, or you can feel a steady heat radiating from the ceiling on summer afternoons.
What it costs in Moreno Valley
Blown in attic insulation in Moreno Valley runs $1.20 to $2.30 per square foot for new material, with removal of old batts adding $0.50 to $1.50 per square foot when it’s needed.
How we do it
We assess the existing layer, seal the bypasses, install or repair baffles for soffit ventilation, and then blow to the specified depth for R-38 or higher.
Loose Fill Insulation
Signs you need it
You have an older attic with batt insulation that’s been disturbed by rodents, roof work, or decades of service, leaving gaps and bare spots.
What it costs in Moreno Valley
Loose fill insulation in Moreno Valley typically lands between $1.20 and $2.30 per square foot installed, though odd geometries and deep attics can shift that number.
How we do it
We measure the attic floor area and joist depth, prep the work area with hose runs, and use a blowing machine to achieve uniform coverage at the target depth.
Blown In Fiberglass Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic has fiberglass batts below the joist tops and you want the same material family, but loose and uniform across the entire floor.
What it costs in Moreno Valley
Blown in fiberglass insulation in Moreno Valley runs $1.00 to $2.00 per square foot, with prep work like air sealing quoted separately.
How we do it
We use Johns Manville or CertainTeed loose-fill fiberglass, blowing it from a truck-mounted machine to the agreed depth and doing a final light check before wrapping up.
What Blown In Insulation Costs in Moreno Valley
| Item | Typical range in Moreno Valley |
|---|---|
| Blown-in installation (new attic layer, 1,000 sq ft) | $1,200 – $2,300 |
| Cellulose insulation | $1.20 – $2.30 per sq ft |
| Blown-in fiberglass | $1.00 – $2.00 per sq ft |
How long does blown in insulation last in Moreno Valley?
Cellulose and fiberglass both hold their R-value for decades when the attic stays dry. Moreno Valley’s low humidity helps, but rodent activity or roof leaks can ruin material fast, so we check for both before adding anything.
Can you blow insulation over my old Moreno Valley batts?
In many cases yes. We only do it after sealing the bypasses and confirming the old batts are dry and not moldy. If they’re compressed or contaminated, removal gets quoted first. Call (866) 605-6949 and we’ll inspect your attic.

What Moreno Valley Customers Say
"Plastic laid from the front door to the attic hatch and they vacuumed the hallway afterward."
— Heather Walsh"Attic was at maybe R-11 from the 1970s and blown in over the top would have just buried the problem. They removed the old material, air sealed the top plates and penetrations first, then blew in to R-49. The upstairs is a completely different house in August."
— Cole Sullivan"Found and sealed a gap around the chimney chase that was basically an open chimney to the attic."
— Brandon Wong
