What You Can Expect
Step 1
Full Attic Inspection
Before proceeding with any attic work, a comprehensive inspection by a Pro expert evaluates ventilation and insulation needs. The inspection ensures a fair and accurate estimate, covering all costs and requirements, from insulation type to quantity, to provide a comprehensive quote.
Step 2
Preparing Your Home
We’ll ensure your home is protected and your attic is ready through protective layers, including installing baffles for proper ventilation.
Step 3
Installing the Insulation
The attic insulation installation method varies, depending on the type of insulation purchased – blown-in attic insulation, batt insulation, or spray foam insulation.
Step 4

Quality Insulation Materials
Stabilized Blown-In Cellulose
Blown-in insulation is installed by running a hose from a truck-mounted blower machine into the attic. The installer directs the hose to ensure an even layer of insulation on the attic floor.
Batt Attic Insulation
Batt insulation is installed by measuring and cutting sections to fit between floor joists in the attic. Additional layers may be added for full coverage. Alternatively, insulation can be nailed between rafters instead of being laid on the floor.
Spray Foam Attic Insulation
Spray foam insulation is applied using smaller hoses, covers attic walls and ceilings, and expands upon application.
Cellulose Insulation for Walls
Our exclusive cellulose blown-in insulation guarantees long-term coverage without settling or shifting, ensuring effectiveness for decades. Made from 100% recycled materials, it's our greenest insulation option, providing sustainable and efficient home insulation.
Dense Pack Cellulose Insulation for Walls
Upgrade your finished walls' R-value efficiently with dense pack cellulose insulation. By drilling small, easily sealed holes in the exterior, celulose is blown directly into walls, tightly filling each cavity without costly repairs.
Fiberglass Insulation for Walls
Fiberglass insulation, offered in loose-fill and batt forms, is widely used in Michigan homes for its effectiveness. Recognizable by its pink color, it consists of glass fibers woven with a binder, providing a wool-like texture.
The Details for Expertly Installed Insulation
Checking the Current Insulation Levels
Pro Home Improvement will evaluate the current insulation’s R-value per inch and calculate its sufficiency for meeting Energy Star-recommended levels in Michigan homes, typically between R50 and R60 for attics, ensuring adequate insulation coverage.
Look for Gaps in Coverage
Batt insulation often leaves gaps, especially in corners and around electrical wiring. Loose-fill and spray foam insulation can also develop gaps, but they are less frequent. A thorough inspection is essential for identifying and addressing these areas.
Inspect Health of Current Insulation
Contractors inspect insulation for wet spots, indicating roof leaks, and look for signs of pest infestation beneath and around the insulation. This comprehensive check ensures any underlying issues are addressed alongside insulation concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of home services do you provide?
Pro Home Improvement can help you with your residential insulation project in Southeastern Michigan. We will use the best product for your unique situation to lower energy bills with attic or wall insulation. We can also help you with other projects, including roofing, siding, gutters, and windows.
What home insulation materials are best for Michigan conditions?
For Michigan’s climate, insulation materials like fiberglass, cellulose, and spray foam are ideal. Fiberglass offers versatility and effectiveness in both batt and loose-fill forms. Cellulose, made from recycled paper, provides excellent thermal performance. Spray foam insulation, available in open-cell and closed-cell varieties, offers superior air sealing and moisture resistance, ideal for Michigan’s fluctuating weather conditions.
Should I insulate my walls?
What R-value do I need for my attic?
For Michigan homes, the recommended wall insulation R-value is R-49 or higher. Despite initial insulation during construction, settling or low-R-value materials can leave gaps, affecting indoor climate control. These gaps, especially around windows or door frames, pose challenges in maintaining consistent interior temperatures, emphasizing the need for adequate insulation to enhance energy efficiency.
What kind of insulation do I need for my walls?
Can you over-insulate a house?
Excessive insulation in home walls can trap moisture, leading to mold growth and compromised indoor air quality. Balancing insulation levels with proper airflow is crucial to prevent moisture buildup. Maintaining optimal indoor air quality requires both adequate insulation and ventilation to ensure a healthy living environment.
