What Glendale Homeowners Say About Topside Attic Insulation Glendale
We’ve insulated and sealed more than 9,000 homes since 2016, and every job starts with a written price and ends with a documented photo record. The feedback we get in Glendale doesn’t show up because we ask for it nicely - it shows up because homeowners can measure the difference in their PG&E bills and feel it in rooms that used to be too hot in July. Wes Okafor and our crew don’t leave until the blower-door number proves the envelope is tighter than when we arrived.

Our 1952 ranch in Chevy Chase Estates had fiberglass batts that looked like they’d been dragged through a mud puddle. Wes walked the attic with me, showed me where the top plates were leaking around the chimney chase, and wrote a price on the spot - $2,400 for air sealing plus blown-in cellulose to R-38. The blower-door test started at 3,800 CFM50 and finished at 1,900. Our upstairs bedroom is finally usable in August.

We got three quotes for spray foam in our crawl space under the house on Kenneth Road. Two guys wanted to start the next day without measuring moisture levels. Wes brought a hygrometer, found 72% humidity, and said we’d be trapping mold if we encapsulated first. They installed a vapor barrier and dehumidifier, then came back two weeks later to foam the rim joists. Written price both times. Photo record both times.

My contractor in Rossmoyne blew in new insulation over the old stuff without sealing anything. I called Topside for a second opinion - they do that free, which I didn’t expect. Wes found recessed can lights pumping conditioned air straight into the attic. His crew pulled everything out, sealed every penetration with fire-rated foam, and re-insulated with Rockwool. The difference in our main bedroom was immediate. No more 85-degree mornings in October.

We bought a foreclosure in Citrus Grove with raccoon damage and compacted old insulation full of droppings. I was ready to do the removal myself until Wes explained the Hantavirus risk and showed me his crew’s respirator setup. They bagged and removed everything, sanitized the deck, rodent-proofed with steel mesh at all entry points, and blew in GreenFiber cellulose. The photo record showed before, during, and after - 47 images. I sent them to my home inspector just to show him what professional looks like.

Our 1964 split-level in Glenoaks Canyon had a radiant barrier that some handyman nailed up in 2003. It was filthy, torn, and trapping heat against the roof deck. Wes measured roof deck temperatures at 154 degrees in July and explained why the old barrier was making things worse. His crew removed it, added proper ridge venting, and installed a new perforated radiant barrier with proper air gaps. Attic temperature dropped 34 degrees. We didn’t need to run the bedroom AC unit once last summer.

I got a quote from another company for wall insulation in our Mariposa addition - they wanted to drill holes and pump in foam without checking if the cavities were already partially filled. Wes ran a borescope camera through the existing holes and found empty bays mixed with old vermiculite that needed testing. He saved me from a $4,800 mistake. We ended up doing selective dense-pack cellulose in the empty walls after the vermiculite came back clean. The written scope specified exactly which walls, which R-value, and which material batch numbers.

Why Customers Trust Us
Every review above mentions the same things because we do the same things on every job. The Haven Standard requires a written price before any work starts - not an estimate, a flat price with a written scope and written warranty. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the blower-door number doesn’t hold or you find a missed penetration, we come back and make it right. No voicemail loops - a live person answers at (213) 474-3828, 24 hours a day.
We don’t push proprietary products. We source from Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, CertainTeed, Icynene, Demilec, and GreenFiber, and we specify exactly what goes in your attic, wall, or crawl space. Before-and-after blower-door readings publish on every applicable job so you have documented proof of the air-sealing result, not just our word that it got better.
Adriana’s Chevy Chase ranch, Daniel’s Kenneth Road crawl space, Lisa’s Rossmoyne can lights, Imani’s Citrus Grove cleanup - different houses, same process. Seal first, then insulate. Photo record on every visit. Background-checked, uniformed technicians who explain the trade terms while they’re using them.
