Blown in Cellulose Insulation for Historic New Orleans Homes
For many New Orleans homeowners, adding insulation can be tricky business. Historic homes must meet strict codes, and it can be a challenge to find an insulation that meets code requirements while also providing the air sealing required by leaky older structures and an adequate R-value for year round comfort.
Now, imagine trying to accomplish an insulation renovation on a historic New Orleans home from Seattle, Washington. That was precisely the dilemma faced by one of our recent clients, a Seattle-based investor. He was forced to find contractors whom he could trust to properly insulate his historic New Orleans property within the confines of code and without his presence on hand.
He carefully researched insulation contractors in southern Louisiana, searching Angie’s List and other resources. He accepted several bids for the job, but ultimately, he chose Sunlight Contractors, LLC to install blown in cellulose insulation in the attic of the home.
