Calgary winters are long, and heat rises. A poorly insulated attic is one place it can escape. Over time, attic insulation can settle or thin out, and some homes never had much to begin with. If your upstairs rooms feel colder than the rest of the house, the attic is a good place to look. That’s why attic insulation Calgary matters for comfort and cost.
Side Quest Projects is a locally owned Calgary handyman business, and attic insulation is one of the services we offer. With more than 25 years of construction experience, we help you increase or maintain your attic’s R-value by topping up the insulation with blown-in insulation. We work in Calgary and nearby areas.
Insulation Services We Offer
- Attic insulation top-ups. Increase or maintain your R-value by adding insulation where the existing layer has settled or thinned out.
- Blown-in insulation for attic spaces. Blown-in insulation fills the attic in an even layer, including the spaces between joists.
For example, r-value is a measure of how well insulation resists heat flow. The higher the number, the better it insulates. Topping up the attic is a way to bring that number back up when the existing insulation has settled over the years.
For example, if you’re not sure how much insulation you have now, photos of the attic are a good start, and we’ll take a proper look during a free site visit.

Attic Insulation FAQ
How do I know if I need more attic insulation?
Common signs are upstairs rooms that feel colder than the rest of the house in winter, or attic insulation that looks thin, patchy or settled when you look in. Photos or a free site visit help us see what you have and what a top-up would add.
What is a top-up?
A top-up adds new insulation over what’s already in your attic to increase or maintain the R-value, instead of starting from scratch.
When is the best time to top up attic insulation in Calgary?
Many homeowners like to do it before winter, but a top-up can be done at other times of year too. Give us a call and we’ll talk about timing for your home.
Will you clean up after?
Yes. Blown-in insulation can be messy, and we always clean up before we leave.
Do you work outside Calgary?
We serve Calgary and nearby areas. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our area, give us a call.
