Wet, pest-damaged, or degraded insulation can do more harm than good. We remove the old material safely before installing anything new.

Cold floors in winter and moisture problems in summer often trace back to an uninsulated crawl space. We seal and insulate it properly.

Exterior walls are one of the most overlooked insulation gaps in older homes. Dense-pack or spray foam brings them up to a real standard.

Insulation alone cannot stop drafts if air is leaking through gaps. Air sealing closes the openings that make your home feel cold and cost more to heat.
Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We will ask a few basic questions about your home and what you are noticing - high bills, cold floors, or drafts. We respond within 1 business day and schedule a time to visit.
We come to your home and inspect the areas you want insulated - attic, crawl space, basement, or walls. We look at what is already there, check for air leaks, and measure the space. Then we give you a written estimate before any work is scheduled.
On installation day, our crew completes the job - usually in one day for most residential projects. Before we leave, we walk you through the finished work so you can see what was done and ask any questions. No guessing, no surprises.
We carry liability insurance on all projects and are registered under Pennsylvania's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act. We can provide our registration number before any work starts.
Every estimate is free and comes with a written breakdown of the scope, materials, and cost. You get the information you need to decide - without any pressure to sign on the spot.
We live and work in this community. We know how State College winters stress older homes, and we are not a regional chain sending whoever is available - you get a local crew that knows your area.
We respond to every inquiry within 1 business day and give you a clear project timeline before we schedule anything. Most residential jobs are completed in a single day.

We had them do the crawl space and rim joists before last winter. The cold floors we had been living with for years were noticeably better within a few weeks. They showed us the finished work before leaving, which I really appreciated.
Our attic had almost nothing in it - we could see the joists. They came out, gave us a clear estimate, and finished the job in one day. Our heating bill in February was lower than it had been in years.
Had spray foam done on the basement rim joists after a pipe almost froze two winters in a row. The crew was professional, cleaned up after themselves, and walked me through everything. Have not had an issue since.
We respond within 1 business day. There is no pressure and no obligation to book. After you submit, someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site walk-through at a time that works for you.

Not sure if you need insulation work done - or which type makes sense? These are the questions worth understanding before you talk to any contractor.
If your heating bills climb sharply every November and your upstairs rooms never quite hold temperature, your attic is the first place to look. Pennsylvania's climate zone calls for significantly more attic insulation than what was standard in homes built before the 1980s - most older homes here are under-insulated by today's standards. Learn more at the U.S. Department of Energy Insulation Guide.
In many homes, yes - it matters just as much. Insulation slows heat flow, but air leaks let conditioned air escape through gaps around pipes, wires, and light fixtures regardless of how thick the insulation is. Sealing those gaps before adding insulation is what makes the difference between a job that works and one that disappoints.
Ice dams form when heat escaping through a poorly insulated attic melts snow on the upper part of your roof, and that water refreezes at the cold eaves. State College averages around 50 inches of snow per year, which makes ice dams a recurring problem for many homeowners here. Proper attic insulation and air sealing address the root cause - not just the symptom.
For most attics, blown-in insulation is the practical and cost-effective choice - it fills corners and irregular spaces well and can be installed in one day. Spray foam is typically used in crawl spaces, rim joists, and areas where moisture resistance and a tight air seal are critical. The best answer depends on the space and your goals.
Yes - adding insulation on top of existing material is common and straightforward in attics. If the old insulation is wet, moldy, or pest-damaged, removal comes first. In crawl spaces and rim joists, contractors often layer new spray foam over areas that were previously insulated with batts that have shifted or degraded over time.
A trustworthy estimate spells out the areas being treated, the type of material being used, the R-value you will end up with, and whether air sealing is included. If air sealing is not mentioned, ask directly - it is the step that makes insulation perform the way it should. Any reputable contractor will explain the scope without making you ask twice.

Learn more about usIf your insulation is wet, compressed, pest-damaged, or more than 25 years old and was never upgraded, replacement is often the right call. Old material that has lost its effectiveness makes new insulation on top perform worse than it should.
If you can see the tops of the wooden floor joists when you look into your attic, your insulation is too thin for Pennsylvania's climate. A contractor can measure the depth and compare it to what is recommended for this region.
You still feel drafts and your bills stay high. Air leaks around pipes, wires, and fixtures let warm air escape as fast as poor insulation does. No amount of added material fixes that without sealing the gaps first.
The ENERGY STAR Seal and Insulate program offers a clear starting point for understanding what your home needs - or call us directly at (814) 996-0035 and we will walk you through it.
State College is home to Pennsylvania State University, which enrolls roughly 46,000 students on the main campus and makes this one of the most densely populated areas in Pennsylvania during the school year. The borough is often called Happy Valley, and it sits in a valley surrounded by Appalachian ridges - including Mount Nittany to the northeast - that can trap cold air and make winters feel especially harsh.
Most single-family homeowners in the area live just outside the borough in College, Ferguson, Patton, and Harris townships, where neighborhoods range from older streets built in the 1950s and 60s to newer subdivisions on the edges of town. Many of these homes have original insulation that is well past its expected lifespan. The broader Centre County area transitions quickly from suburban neighborhoods to farmland and forest, and sloped lots are common - which affects drainage, crawl space conditions, and how homes hold up through repeated freeze-thaw cycles each winter.
State College Insulation works throughout the State College region, including the borough itself and the surrounding townships. If you own a home here - whether it is a few blocks from Beaver Stadium or out in Ferguson Township - we can assess your insulation and help you stop paying for heat that is leaving through your attic, crawl space, or walls.
