Insulation for West Lake Hills homes

Why West Lake Hills attics need attention.

West Lake Hills has many established homes on hilly, tree-covered lots just west of downtown Austin. Mature trees close to the roof make it easier for squirrels and rodents to reach the attic, and older homes often have insulation that has settled or been disturbed.

We inspect the attic, show you photos of the insulation and any pest damage, and give you a clear quote. When removal is needed, we vacuum out the old material, clean and sanitize the attic and seal entry points before installing new insulation.

Local energy facts

Insulation levels, rebates and tax credits in West Lake Hills.

Recommended R-value

Travis County is in IECC climate zone 2A. For zones 2 and 3, ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic and R-38 when you already have 3 to 4 inches. We measure your current depth during the free visit.

Utility rebates

If Austin Energy is your electric provider: its Home Energy Savings rebate is attic sq ft × $0.03 × R-value added, plus $45, when the attic reaches R-38. The home must be at least 10 years old, and the work must be done by an Austin Energy participating contractor.

Federal tax credit

The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) does not apply to insulation placed in service after December 31, 2025, so don’t plan your budget around it.

Questions

Attic insulation in West Lake Hills: FAQ

Can you work carefully in a finished, high-end home?

Yes. We protect floors and walkways, and old insulation is vacuumed out through hoses rather than carried through the house.

Do you serve all of West Lake Hills?

Yes. We serve homes throughout West Lake Hills and the nearby west Austin area.

Is the attic inspection really free?

Yes. We inspect the attic, show you photos of what we find and give you a written quote. There is no obligation to book.

Do you always remove the old insulation?

No. When the old insulation is contaminated, wet or badly compressed, we remove it, clean and sanitize the attic and seal air leaks first. If it is in good shape, we will tell you whether adding new insulation on top is enough.
