Insulation across Middle Tennessee

Insulation across Middle Tennessee

Insulation contractors who seal the leaks before they add the depth, and put the R-value on the quote.

Insulation crews serving Nashville also cover Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville; the range is 65 towns in 12 counties. The houses are not the same in any two of those towns, and neither is the insulation work:

• Nashville. Pre-war houses have no wall insulation and often none in the attic, and the walls are dense-packed from outside or inside while the attic is air-sealed and blown; the house was built to breathe, and the work respects that.
• Brentwood. Eighties and nineties houses have bonus rooms over garages with knee walls that were never insulated properly, and that room is where the work is.
• Murfreesboro. The 2000s houses were insulated to the code minimum of the time, which is below current code, and a top-up after air sealing brings them to standard for a modest price.
• Hendersonville. Seventies and eighties houses have the R-19 batts of their decade, compressed and gapped, and topping them with blown insulation over an air-sealed floor doubles the attic’s value.
• Columbia. Pre-war houses have no wall insulation and often none in the attic, and the walls are dense-packed from outside or inside while the attic is air-sealed and blown; the house was built to breathe, and the work respects that.
• Lebanon. Rural houses and farmhouses have the least insulation in the region, and the attic to code depth is the largest single saving on the heating bill.
