Insulation Company in Silver Lakes, CA
Blown in insulation is the most common upgrade we install in Silver Lakes, and for good reason: the original fiberglass batts in these late-1980s and 1990s tract homes were thin the day they went in, and two decades of Mojave heat plus wind-driven dust have compressed them further. Most Silver Lakes homes we assess still sit at builder-grade R-13 to R-19 in the walls and shallow attic coverage that falls well short of what this climate demands. We’re Hollywood Insulation Co, a dedicated insulation specialist, and we bring all three installation methods – blown-in, spray foam, and batt – to every Silver Lakes job so the recommendation matches the house, not the truck.

Why Silver Lakes Homes Are Different
Silver Lakes is a planned desert-lake community in the Mojave High Desert where nearly every home was built from the late 1980s onward as energy-conscious tract housing. That sounds fine on paper, but the reality is different: the “energy package” builders used in that era was a thin layer of fiberglass batt that barely met code minimums before three decades of high-desert sun and dust took their toll. The homes around the Silver Lakes golf course and man-made lakes are predominantly stucco-on-frame single-family construction with tile roofs, and those tile roofs are exactly where the problem starts.
Summer attic temperatures in Silver Lakes routinely exceed 140°F. That heat doesn’t stay in the attic – it radiates down through whatever insulation sits between the attic floor and your ceiling, and it finds every gap left by the original batt installation. At the same time, the windblown dust that Silver Lakes gets through every spring and fall works its way through soffit vents and settles into the insulation, compressing it and cutting its effective R-value. The result is a house that never quite cools down in July and never quite warms up on those cold desert January nights. Most Silver Lakes homes aren’t short on square footage; they’re short on thermal performance.
Our Main Silver Lakes Services
Silver Lakes homeowners call us most about two jobs – attic insulation and spray foam insulation – and each solves a different part of the high-desert comfort equation. Here’s what those projects look like in this community.
Attic Insulation in Silver Lakes
The tile roofs over Silver Lakes homes bake in the Mojave sun all summer, pushing attic temperatures past 140°F and turning under-insulated attics into giant heat radiators aimed at your living space. Attic insulation work here is about more than adding R-value: it’s about air-sealing the attic floor, addressing the venting that lets dust in, and bringing the assembly up to what this climate actually needs. We install fiberglass batt, blown-in, or spray foam depending on your attic’s configuration and budget. See Attic Insulation in Silver Lakes for the full breakdown.
Spray Foam Insulation in Silver Lakes
For Silver Lakes homes with awkward attic geometry, vaulted ceilings, or rooms that never seem to hold temperature, spray foam is often the right call. Closed-cell foam from Demilec or Icynene air-seals and insulates in one pass, which matters in a climate where wind-driven dust and temperature swings punish air leaks all year. Open-cell foam works well for interior sound control and attic roof deck applications. We carry both Icynene and Demilec systems, so the foam is matched to the application. See Spray Foam Insulation in Silver Lakes for details.

Blown In Insulation in Silver Lakes
Blown in insulation is the fastest way to fix the most common Silver Lakes problem: attics that were under-insulated from day one and have only lost R-value since. The late-1980s and 1990s homes around the golf course and lakes typically have shallow original batt coverage that leaves the attic floor with significant gaps and thin spots – exactly the kind of coverage deficit that blown-in material fills completely. We use GreenFiber cellulose and Johns Manville fiberglass loose fill, and we cover every inch of the attic floor so heat stops radiating into your living space during those 140°F summer afternoons. When you need Blown In Insulation done right in Silver Lakes, this is the method we reach for most often – it’s fast, it’s thorough, and it delivers immediate comfort improvement.
Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
If your Silver Lakes home has rooms that are noticeably hotter in summer than the rest of the house, especially after 2 p.m., your attic likely has thin or compressed original batts.
What it costs in Silver Lakes
Cellulose blown-in attic insulation for a typical Silver Lakes single-story home runs $1.60 to $2.30 per square foot installed, with most projects landing between $1,800 and $3,200 depending on attic depth and current coverage.
How we do it
We air-seal the attic floor penetrations, mark depth indicators, then blow GreenFiber cellulose to the specified R-value in every bay, including the tight corners original batts always missed.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Signs you need it
You can see the tops of your ceiling joists in the attic, or the insulation depth measures under 10 inches in most spots.
What it costs in Silver Lakes
Blown in attic insulation here typically costs $1.40 to $2.50 per square foot, and a complete top-up on a 1,800-square-foot Silver Lakes home generally totals between $2,200 and $3,900.
How we do it
We remove or compress any contaminated material, seal the plumbing and electrical penetrations, and blow fresh loose fill to a uniform depth that meets or exceeds current code for the Mojave climate.

Is blown in insulation worth it for a 1990s Silver Lakes home?
Yes – those homes typically started with R-19 attic coverage that has since compressed, and bringing them to R-38 or higher cuts summer cooling load noticeably. Most Silver Lakes clients see the difference in the first full season.
How long does blown in insulation take in Silver Lakes?
Most Silver Lakes attics are done in a single day, including air-sealing and cleanup. Larger two-story homes may take a second morning. Call (866) 605-6949 to schedule a free attic assessment.

What Silver Lakes 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."
