Services
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal that prevents heat loss and moisture intrusion. This high-R-value solution reduces energy bills by up to 50% while improving indoor air quality. Ideal for attics, walls, and crawl spaces, it serves as both insulation and vapor barrier for residential and commercial buildings.
QII Compliance Services
Our QII-certified installations meet California's strict Title 24 energy standards. We ensure perfect insulation fit with no gaps, proper R-values, and HERS verification. This guarantees maximum energy efficiency and compliance for new construction or retrofit projects requiring third-party verification.
Attic Insulation
We install high-performance attic insulation that minimizes thermal bridging and air leakage. Combined with air sealing, this service reduces energy costs by up to 40% while preventing mold growth and improving HVAC efficiency for both residential and commercial properties.
Insulation Removal
Our team safely removes existing attic insulation using specialized vacuum equipment. We dispose of old materials at certified recycling centers and prepare spaces for new energy-efficient installations, improving indoor air quality and building performance.
Rigid Board Installation
Rigid board insulation provides high R-value per inch with excellent fire resistance. We install this durable solution in concrete walls, commercial buildings, and areas requiring thermal stability. Its moisture-resistant properties make it ideal for basements and exterior applications.

Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness
Insulate SB does an amazing job from start to finish. We used them in 2019 to insulate our exterior walls and crawl space. They came back to insulate our attic more recently. They are responsive and get the job done quickly. I recommend them to anyone needing to insulate their home.

I contacted Insulate SB in the middle of 2019 to get some insulation put into our attic. Its a great idea for anyone concerned about excessive heat, since the roof super-heats air in your attic and can keep your house several degrees hotter inside than outside. Right before we were able to schedule insulation my daughter was born a month early, and I went no contact for months. I then contacted them again in early 2020 about finally getting insulation installed. They still had all my information on file and were very responsive. Then right before we could schedule the installation, Covid-19 happened

We had a great experience with Insulate SB, we would definitely recommend. Chad returned our phone call right away, was at the house the next day and we had a quote and work scheduled within the week . With our furnace not working and on backorder, insulating our attic was a must. It has really made a big difference, I'm so glad we did it.

I am a local Realtor and am asked for suggestions of building professionals on a daily basis. I cannot recommend Chad Sanchez at Insulate SB highly enough and will be using Insulate for my personal house remodel project next month. Chad responds to inquiries in a very timely manner, which is so refreshing in the construction industry as a whole and is a true professional. I look forward to recommending Insulate SB to more clients and know that we are in good hands!
