Most older South Burlington homes have little to no wall insulation. We fill every cavity and seal every gap so your heat stays inside where it belongs.
Wall insulation in South Burlington fills the cavities inside your exterior walls to slow heat loss through your home's shell - most blown-in jobs on a single-family home are completed in one to two days with no need to remove drywall.
A large share of South Burlington's housing was built in the 1950s through 1970s, when insulation standards were a fraction of what they are today. If your home is from that era, your walls may have little or nothing inside them - and Vermont's long, cold winters make every gap expensive. Wall insulation is one of the highest-return improvements you can make to a home in this climate.
Many homeowners combine wall insulation with air sealing services to address both heat loss through materials and heat loss through gaps - together they deliver the biggest comfort and savings improvement your home can get.
Put your hand flat against an exterior-facing interior wall during a cold snap. A well-insulated wall should feel close to room temperature even when it is below zero outside. If it feels genuinely cold, the cavity behind it is likely empty or nearly so.
If your monthly energy bills feel out of proportion to your home's size and the outside temperature, under-insulated walls are one of the most common causes. Vermont's long heating season amplifies every gap in your envelope - six months of heat loss adds up fast.
Electrical boxes are cut through wall cavities, and in walls with little insulation, cold air can move through those openings into your living space. If you feel a chill near outlets or switches on outside-facing walls, the cavity behind them is likely uninsulated.
Homes from South Burlington's postwar growth era were routinely built with minimal wall insulation, and whatever was installed may have settled or degraded over the decades. If you have never had insulation work done in a pre-1980 home, there is a strong chance your walls are a significant source of heat loss.
For homes with finished walls, we use blown-in insulation - a method where we drill small holes into each wall cavity, fill it completely with loose material through a hose, then patch and paint the holes. It is the most practical way to insulate an existing home without tearing out walls. We are also the team South Burlington homeowners call for blown-in insulation across attics, crawl spaces, and other areas of the home that need coverage.
For open walls during a renovation or new build, batt insulation fitted between studs is a cost-effective solution that meets Vermont's energy code requirements. We pair wall work with air sealing services whenever the project calls for it, closing gaps around electrical boxes and framing members that insulation alone cannot address.
Best for finished homes where walls are already closed - no drywall removal required.
Ideal for new construction or gut renovations where studs are exposed before drywall goes up.
A higher-density fill technique suited to homes where settling is a concern or the cavity is hard to reach.
The most thorough approach for older homes - insulation stops heat transfer, air sealing stops infiltration.
South Burlington sits in one of the coldest climate zones in the lower 48 states, with average January lows regularly dropping below 10 degrees and a heating season that stretches from October through April. That means your walls are working against extreme temperature differences for more months of the year than in most other states. Every uninsulated cavity is costing you real money every single winter - and the payback period on a quality wall insulation job is shorter here than it would be in a milder climate. Vermont also has Efficiency Vermont, the nation's first statewide energy efficiency utility, which offers rebates that homeowners in most states simply do not have access to.
We work across South Burlington and the surrounding area, including Essex Junction and Williston, where a similar share of the housing stock dates from the same postwar era and carries the same insulation challenges. If you are not sure what your walls currently have, we can tell you - quickly and without obligation.

(802) 352-8211We have worked in South Burlington's postwar-era homes for years and know what to expect inside walls from the 1950s through 1970s. That experience means fewer surprises and faster, more thorough work for you.
We verify complete fill in every wall cavity - not just the easy-to-reach ones. Good wall insulation means addressing the areas around electrical boxes and at the top and bottom of cavities, where gaps are most common and most often skipped.
Vermont homeowners have access to rebates and credits that most people in other states do not. We walk you through what you qualify for and help you capture those savings - so the paperwork does not fall on you.
You know exactly what will be done, where, and to what standard before our crew arrives. That means no surprises on the invoice and documentation you can use for rebates, tax filings, or a future home sale.
