Insulation Contractors in Hixson, TN
Hixson attics were built for a cheaper era
Much of Hixson went up through the 1960s, 70s and 80s, when the attic spec was whatever met code at the time. Those are the attics we are usually called into.
What We Find in Hixson Houses
North of the Tennessee River, Hixson's housing stock is dominated by single-storey and split-level homes on trussed roofs, which means wide open attics and easy access. The common faults are shallow blown-in that has settled below its rated depth, and no air sealing at all beneath it, so conditioned air moves freely into the attic regardless of how much material is lying up there.
Trussed Attics Are the Easy Win
An open trussed attic is the simplest square footage to improve in any house, because nothing has to be opened up to reach it. We measure the existing depth, check the ventilation and look for air leaks at the ceiling plane first. Call (423) 799-3836 for a free written estimate in Hixson.
Questions
Common questions
Do you cover all of Hixson?
Yes, Hixson and the surrounding Hamilton County communities north of the river are inside the regular service area.
My house is from the 1970s. Is the attic insulation still any good?
Often the material is still there but has settled well below its original depth, and the ceiling was never air sealed. We measure rather than guess.
Is spray foam or blown-in better for a Hixson attic?
On an open trussed attic both work. Blown-in uses less material; foam at the roof deck also air seals, which matters if there is ductwork up there.
