Attic Insulation Company in Boca Raton, FL
We serve Boca Raton from our base in Sunrise. Many Boca homes were built in the 1970s and 80s and are still on their original attic insulation, which has settled far below what our climate needs.
Why Boca Raton Homes Run Hot Upstairs
Boca Raton has a lot of 1970s and 80s homes, many of them two-story, in established neighborhoods and country-club communities. Their attic insulation was installed to the standards of that era and has been settling ever since. In Palm Beach County the target is R-38, roughly 13 to 15 inches of blown-in fiberglass, and many attics we see have a fraction of that. Upstairs rooms that stay 2 to 3 degrees warmer than downstairs are the classic sign.

Attic Insulation Services in Boca Raton
Boca Raton calls usually start the same way: the upstairs is warmer than downstairs, even with a newer AC. In most of these homes, the attic over the second floor is the reason.
R-38 install for Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County has a higher minimum than Broward for the FPL program, and R-38 is what we install anyway: about 13 to 15 inches of blown-in fiberglass.
Top-ups for 1970s–80s homes
Original insulation in older Boca neighborhoods has settled for 40 years or more. A top-up over the dry layer is fast and doesn't disturb anything.
Removal and replacement
For insulation contaminated by rodents or flattened by an old leak. We vacuum it out and install fresh material, usually in one visit.
Air sealing for two-story homes
Gaps around lights and top plates over the second floor let cooled air escape into the attic. Sealing is an add-on we recommend for bare attics and after removal.
The Best Attic Insulation for Boca Raton Homes
For most Boca Raton homes, blown-in fiberglass to R-38 on the attic floor is the right answer. It reaches the level Palm Beach County expects, handles humidity without absorbing water, and can be added over the existing insulation without removing it.
The question we hear most in Boca is whether a new AC alone will fix a hot upstairs. Usually it won't. A bigger system just fights the same heat coming through the ceiling. Fixing the attic first often lets the existing AC keep up, and it's far cheaper than replacing the system.
- Our pick for most Boca Raton homes: blown-in fiberglass to R-38.
- New AC but still hot upstairs: check the attic before anything else.
- Ducts in the attic: full-depth insulation around them keeps the cold air colder on its way to the vents.

What Your Boca Raton Inspection Looks Like
In Boca, the inspection is built around the hot-upstairs question.
Example thermal scan: the warm strip is where heat is getting through the ceiling.
- Thermal scan, upstairs vs downstairs — with the AC running, we compare ceiling temperatures room by room so you see where the heat lands.
- Depth over the second floor — we measure the attic over the bedrooms in several spots, where settling is usually worst.
- Ducts, gaps and one price — we photograph the ductwork and leaks, then give you a written recommendation and price.
