At Martin The Roofer, we fully comprehend the significance of proper attic insulation for homeowners. A well-insulated roof plays a vital role in maintaining comfort throughout the seasons, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning in summer and additional heating in winter.

It's important to note that inadequate insulation can even lead to structural problems, such as cracked rafters. That's why we prioritize comprehensive insulation solutions to ensure the longevity and stability of your home.

Effective Insulation Solutions

Insulation plays a crucial role in safeguarding your home, serving as a secondary barrier against water intrusion. By ensuring proper insulation, you can minimize leaks and enhance the longevity of your roof. That's why we prioritize meticulous attention to detail when it comes to attic insulation, just like our roofing services.

Our commitment to quality extends to your insulation needs, as we only utilize top-notch products. We employ blown-in fiberglass insulation, which effectively fills even the smallest corners and crevices of your roof, providing comprehensive coverage that standard insulation cannot match. To maximize insulation performance, we adhere to a minimum R-36 insulation rating, with a recommended R-49. For even greater insulation benefits, we can even install up to R-60.

As you drive through the Greater Metro Detroit Area, you may observe roofs covered in snow while others remain bare. The absence of snow or the presence of ice dams indicates heat escaping through the roof structure. Inadequate attic roof insulation is often the root cause of these damaging ice dams. By opting for proper attic roof insulation, you can maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature within your home, reduce energy costs, and prevent future ice dam-related damage.

insulation FAQ

How many years do I have left on my old roof?

This is a question we get asked a lot but there is no standard answer that is always correct. Like many things in life there are variables. The best we can do is provide some guidelines to equip you with reasonable expectations. Just to give you an idea of why this question can be tricky to answer, we’ve seen 11 year old roofs curling up like tortilla chips and leaking like a spaghetti strainer; and, we’ve seen roofs installed by the 80 year old homeowner 30 years ago that keep the home drier than saltine crackers. Obviously, every roof and situation is different.
