Services
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation creates an airtight barrier that regulates indoor temperatures and reduces energy costs. Our customized solutions use materials tested by leading research institutions to ensure optimal performance in hot, humid climates. This service improves structural durability while lowering utility bills by up to 50%.
Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass insulation maintains consistent indoor temperatures by minimizing heat transfer. It is non-combustible and cost-effective, making it ideal for reducing heating and cooling expenses. Our installation ensures long-term energy savings and compliance with safety standards for residential and commercial properties.
Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Blown-in cellulose insulation uses recycled materials to enhance energy efficiency and fire resistance. It effectively seals gaps to prevent air leakage, improving comfort while reducing utility costs. This sustainable solution is ideal for attics and walls in older and new constructions.
Radiant Barrier Installation
Radiant barriers reflect solar heat to lower attic temperatures and reduce cooling costs. Installed in attics, this service blocks up to 95% of radiant heat gain, making it particularly effective in Louisiana's climate. It complements other insulation types for maximum efficiency.
Weatherization Services
Weatherization services include air sealing and ductwork improvements to minimize energy loss. By addressing air infiltration, we enhance indoor comfort and reduce utility bills. Our methods follow Energy Star guidelines and qualify for local incentive programs to offset project costs.

Great team, reasonable pricing, and impeccable customer service. I need insulation redone in my attic. I called Jennifer and her team to provide an esitmate and then, ultimately, conduct the work. The team was respectful and clean -- my twin toddlers were even able to nap while the team did their work in the attic above their bedrooms. I will go back to Fontenot Insulation for all future needs at my house.

I would like to give lots of praise to Fontenot Insulation for the great job they did with blown-in cellulose insulation in my home in Kenner. I was in a tough situation because relatives were moving in and one has a health condition and we needed our home to be comfortable with temperature. Our house gets cold in spots in the winter, even the mild South Louisiana winters. Not only did they squeeze us into their schedule on very short notice, but the technicians who came out to do the job were personable, knowledgeable and after the work was complete, the house was tidy and not full of insulation
