Stop Heat Loss Through Your Walls

Insulation Installation Services in Kingsport and surrounding areas

You notice uneven temperatures between rooms in your Church Hill home, or you feel cold drafts near walls and ceilings even when the heat is running. These signs often mean your insulation has deteriorated, settled, or was never installed properly. Church Hill winters demand insulation that keeps conditioned air inside and outdoor cold from seeping through the building envelope.

Above & Beyond Demolition & Junk Removal installs fiberglass, blown-in, and spray foam insulation in attics, walls, and crawl spaces for both new construction and retrofit projects. We work in residential homes and light commercial buildings, measuring R-values based on your structure and selecting materials that fit your energy goals. Each installation is completed to building code standards, filling gaps and voids that allow air infiltration.

If your energy bills stay high no matter how you adjust the thermostat, contact us to review your insulation needs in Church Hill.

What Happens During a Full Insulation Install

We start by inspecting the areas where insulation will be added, checking for moisture damage, air leaks, or structural issues that need to be addressed first. In Church Hill homes, we often work in older attics where original insulation has compacted or been disturbed. We seal penetrations around pipes, ducts, and wiring before installing any new material to prevent air movement behind the insulation layer.

After installation, you will notice fewer drafts, more consistent room temperatures, and reduced strain on your heating and cooling system. Blown-in cellulose fills around joists and irregular framing, while spray foam expands to create an airtight barrier in crawl spaces and rim joists. Fiberglass batts are cut to fit wall cavities during new construction or after drywall removal in retrofit projects.

We remove packaging, debris, and old insulation if replacement is needed, leaving the work area clean. The installation does not include HVAC modifications, vapor barrier replacement in unconditioned spaces, or structural repairs. You should feel temperature differences within hours of completion, and energy savings become measurable in the first full billing cycle.

Questions Before We Start Your Project

Homeowners in Church Hill often ask about material choices, installation timelines, and how insulation affects existing systems before scheduling work.

What type of insulation works best in an older attic?
Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass works well in older attics because it fills around existing joists, wiring, and irregular framing without requiring removal of roof decking. We assess your attic ventilation and current R-value before recommending a material.
How long does a typical insulation installation take?
Most attic installations in Church Hill homes take four to six hours, depending on square footage and access. Wall and crawl space projects may require additional time for prep work and sealing penetrations.
Why do some walls feel colder even after the heat runs all day?
Cold exterior walls usually mean there is little or no insulation in the wall cavities, or that air is bypassing the insulation through gaps around outlets, baseboards, or top plates. Adding insulation and sealing those gaps stops heat loss.
When should I add insulation to a crawl space?
You should insulate your crawl space if you have cold floors in winter, high humidity levels, or visible condensation on ductwork. We install rigid foam or spray foam on foundation walls or between floor joists depending on whether the space is vented or encapsulated.
What happens to old insulation during a retrofit project?
We remove and haul off old insulation if it is damaged, contaminated, or no longer effective. You will see the space cleared and cleaned before new material is installed.
