Yes, if existing insulation is damaged, wet, moldy, or contaminated with pest droppings, professional removal is essential before new installation. Contaminated insulation compromises indoor air quality and thermal performance. If it's in good dry condition, new blown-in insulation can typically be added over existing material. However, complete removal often provides better results for maximizing total R-value and ensuring proper air sealing throughout your attic.

Both have distinct advantages. Blown-in insulation fills gaps, voids, and irregular spaces more thoroughly, making it ideal for existing homes with obstructions, hard-to-reach areas, and retrofit projects. It provides superior air sealing and complete coverage. Batt insulation is cost-effective for new construction and open cavities where precise fitting is possible. It's easier to install in accessible areas and offers good soundproofing. We assess your home structure, budget, and performance goals to recommend the best option.
