Anthem Insulation & Home adds, replaces, and upgrades attic insulation for homeowners in Canton, GA, alongside the other insulation services we offer in Canton. We’ve been doing this work for 10 years under the tagline “Treating Your Home Like Our Own,” and each attic project begins with a free home energy audit.

Canton Attic Insulation Services

Canton has grown quickly along the I-575 corridor, and many of its subdivisions went up in the 1990s and 2000s. Builders at that time often installed around R-30 in the attic. Blown-in insulation settles over the years, so many of those attics now measure below what they started with.

ENERGY STAR currently recommends R-38 to R-49 for attics in this part of Georgia, depending on how much insulation is already there. The gap matters most from June through September, when Canton’s afternoon highs sit in the upper 80s and low 90s and the attic itself runs much hotter. In many two-story homes here, the upstairs air handler and ductwork are in the attic, so the cooling system is working inside the hottest part of the house.

After new attic insulation goes in, the upstairs holds its temperature longer and the air conditioner cycles less often on hot afternoons. Energy savings depend on the size of the home, the HVAC equipment, and how low the insulation was to start.

Signs of Low Insulation

Upstairs rooms that run several degrees warmer than the main floor in summer are the most common sign. Others include an air conditioner that runs nearly nonstop on hot afternoons, ceilings that feel warm to the touch, and uneven temperatures from one bedroom to the next.

A look through the attic hatch can confirm it. If the insulation sits level with the tops of the ceiling joists or below them, there’s roughly six inches or less, and the attic is well short of the recommended insulation thickness. Bare spots, flattened paths where someone has walked, and dark stains from past roof leaks are also worth noting before the audit.

Top-Offs and Full Replacement

Most attic insulation projects in Canton come down to one of two jobs. The first is a top-off. When the existing insulation is clean and dry, we blow new loose-fill material over it to bring the total up to the target R-value. It’s the faster and less expensive job, and it’s what we recommend when nothing is wrong with the old layer except its depth.

The second is removal and replacement. Insulation that has been wet, moldy, or used as a nest by rodents or squirrels needs to come out because a new layer on top won’t fix the smell or the air quality. Our insulation removal in Canton uses a vacuum system that carries the old material outside through a hose. After that, we install new insulation at full depth.

In both cases, we seal air leaks first. The openings around recessed lights, plumbing and wiring penetrations, and the attic hatch let cooled air escape into the attic, and they’re much easier to reach before the new insulation covers them.

Attic Floor or Roofline

Attic insulation can go in one of two places. The usual location is the attic floor, which keeps the attic outside the conditioned part of the house. It costs less and works well when the attic is used only for storage.

The other option is to insulate the roofline with spray foam and seal the attic. The attic then stays much closer to indoor temperature, which helps when the HVAC equipment and ducts are up there. It’s also the better choice for a finished bonus room or an attic that’s being converted to living space. Our spray foam insulation services cover both open-cell and closed-cell foam for rooflines.

Materials for Canton Attics

For attic floors, we install blown-in fiberglass in most homes. It doesn’t absorb moisture, it settles less than cellulose, and it fills in around trusses and wiring. Batt insulation is the better fit for knee walls, the walls of a bonus room, and attics with decking over the joists. Mineral wool is available for homeowners who want a denser, more fire-resistant material, and it also cuts down on noise from outside.

We go over attic insulation materials and R-values during the audit and explain the price difference between them.

Audits, Pricing, and Discounts

The free home energy audit takes place in the attic and around the house. We measure the current insulation depth, look for air leaks and moisture, check the ventilation at the soffits and ridge, and note where the ductwork runs. The quote that follows is based on the attic’s square footage, the amount of insulation being added, and any removal involved.

We have a new build and i called Anthem Insulation for a price. They came out walked through my property with me and went over what our expectations were on the insulation. Hunter was phenomenal and answered all my questions (and i had many!) there pricing was fair, they communicate along the way and really go the extra mile to make sure the customer is happy! Even our county inspector for the house was amazed how thorough they were, passed on first site (which in new construction theres usually always something missing- not with Anthem! ! Will definitely use them again for any future projects

Megan Naputano

Sawyer and his team did an exceptional job with our blown insulation project. Our project was unique as the team had no access to the attic and had to work through speaker holes and can light holes. The team was respectful of all of our belongings, laying down tarps and plastic. The team was patient and happy to work with all my pickiness and oversight. Definitely recommend Anthem Insulation for your home or business.

Scott Andrews

I had a great experience working with them. The price they quoted was lower than I was expecting. They were not pushy, even though it took me 3 months to get around to scheduling the work after the estimate. The spray insulation work was high quality, and looks great.

I was unexpectedly not able to be home when they showed up to do the work so I left the door unlocked and the check on the counter. They were super professional, and took care of everything without me needing to be there. Couldn’t ask for anything more, I’d definitely recommend this place.

I can’t say enough about the service and professionalism of Anthem. As a local GC, we relay heavily on our on trade subs and Anthem is always ready and willing to lend a hand, no matter the task. And special thanks to Hunter for going over and beyond on our most recent project together; truly an awesome partner in the construction industry. Thanks again Anthem, A+

Want to say I own a 5 star construction company as well. After speaking to several foam companies I chose anthem. The management is buy far the best around. I have referred them to other clients and they all said the same thing. Would use again. But thanks anthem for great support and most importantly excellent job.
