Insulation Company in Century City, CA
Blown in insulation in Century City addresses a different problem than it does in most of Los Angeles. Here, the work is rarely about drafty attics in single-family homes. It’s about sound transfer between units in 1960s and 1970s high-rises, condensation control on chilled-water lines running through mechanical shafts, and thermal gaps in occupied Class A office towers. Hollywood Insulation Co has served Century City since 2018, and the jobs we take on here reflect the building stock: vertical, occupied, engineered. If your tower or condo has uneven temperatures across units or rising cooling costs, call (866) 605-6949 for an assessment.
Why Century City Homes Are Different
Century City sits on land that was once the 20th Century Fox backlot. Starting in the 1960s, that acreage became one of the densest concentrations of high-rise commercial and residential towers in West LA. The original 1960s and 1970s buildings along Avenue of the Stars and Century Park East were built with the materials of their era: uninsulated chilled-water piping, thin demising walls, and rooftop mechanical rooms exposed to full sun. Insulation work in Century City is therefore almost always an occupied-building retrofit, not a new-construction install.
Climate plays a role too, but not the one you might expect. Century City’s marine-influenced weather means heating and cooling loads are modest by national standards. What insulation actually does here is control condensation on cold pipes, reduce radiant heat gain through heavy glazing on south- and west-facing tower facades, and cut noise between adjacent condos and offices. The work has to be phased at night, staged through loading docks, and coordinated with building engineers and HOA boards. We plan around freight-elevator windows and noise-sensitive tenants because that is simply how Century City operates.
Our Main Century City Services
Most Century City calls to Hollywood Insulation Co fall into two categories: attic insulation for the penthouse and townhome units that do have attic space, and spray foam for the mechanical shafts, chases, and equipment rooms where air sealing matters most. Here is what each involves.
Attic Insulation in Century City
Some Century City buildings, particularly the low-rise condominium courts and penthouses atop older towers, have under-insulated attic cavities. In these units, heat loads through the roof deck push cold air out during summer and let conditioned air escape through gaps around recessed lights and vent penetrations. We assess the existing R-value, identify thermal bypasses, and install the right material for the cavity, often blown-in fiberglass or cellulose over the existing layer. In occupied towers, this means dust containment, HEPA-filtered equipment, and coordination with building engineering. Read our full Attic Insulation in Century City page for specifics on R-values and pricing.
Spray Foam Insulation in Century City
Spray foam earns its keep in Century City in chase walls, mechanical shafts, and rooftop equipment closets where chilled-water risers sweat and air moves through unsealed penetrations. Closed-cell Icynene or Demilec foam provides both the air barrier and the condensation control that older towers lack. The work is precise, often done at night, and always coordinated with the freight elevator schedule. For occupied luxury condos, open-cell foam in demising walls also cuts sound transfer between units. See our Spray Foam Insulation in Century City page for full details on closed-cell versus open-cell and what to expect on site.

Blown In Insulation in Century City
Blown in insulation in Century City typically costs between $1.50 and $3.00 per square foot for attic applications, and the work is usually completed in a single day for units that have accessible attic cavities. In a market dominated by 1960s and 1970s high-rises, this service is most often specified for penthouse units, low-rise condo clusters, and retrofit projects where access is tight and the existing thermal barrier is thin or settled. Our team installs Blown In Insulation with dust containment and negative air pressure, which matters when you are working above occupied floors.
Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
You hear neighbors through shared walls or notice that top-floor rooms run noticeably warmer than lower units, suggesting the attic insulation has settled or was never adequate.
What it costs in Century City
Cellulose insulation in Century City generally runs $1.50 to $2.20 per square foot installed, depending on depth and access.
How we do it
We dense-pack GreenFiber cellulose into wall cavities and attics, using hoses routed from our truck through the building’s service elevator or loading dock, with full dust containment at every penetration.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Signs you need it
Your penthouse or top-floor condo runs five to eight degrees warmer than the units below it, or your cooling bills climb every summer despite no change in usage.
What it costs in Century City
Blown in attic insulation in Century City typically ranges from $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot for the full job.
How we do it
We vacuum or level the existing material, seal top plates and penetrations with foam, then blow the specified depth of fiberglass or cellulose over the entire attic floor, including around can lights with rated covers.
Blown In Fiberglass Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic has bare spots, thin coverage, or original 1960s batt insulation that has compressed into a fraction of its original R-value.
What it costs in Century City
Blown in fiberglass insulation in Century City typically costs between $1.50 and $2.50 per square foot installed.
How we do it
We run high-output pneumatic equipment through the building loading dock, keeping hoses contained, and blow Owens Corning loose-fill fiberglass to the target R-value with depth markers left in place.
Loose Fill Insulation
Signs you need it
Your mechanical closet or attic chase has gaps around chilled-water risers and conduit that let air and sound travel freely between floors.
What it costs in Century City
Loose fill insulation for retrofit cavities in Century City generally runs $2.00 to $3.00 per square foot because access is tight and containment takes longer.
How we do it
We isolate the cavity, stage material in the service corridor, and pump loose fill at the correct density to stop air movement without overpacking the cavity.

Is blown in insulation worth it in a condo?
Yes, when the cavity is accessible and the current insulation is thin or settled. In Century City penthouses, it reduces temperature swings and cuts the cooling load on units that absorb heat through the roof deck. Call (866) 605-6949 for an exact quote.
Can you work in an occupied Century City building?
Yes. We stage through loading docks, use the freight elevator, and schedule work in windows approved by the HOA board or building engineer. Most blown in jobs are completed in one day with containment throughout. Call (866) 605-6949 to coordinate.

What Century City Customers Say
"Work is good and the house is noticeably more comfortable. There was insulation debris left in the hall closet under the attic access that I had to clean up."
— Miguel Garcia"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
