Tropical-style Florida house, representative of West Melbourne, FL's mixed-era residential character

Serving

West Melbourne, FL

A split market: newer subdivisions off Minton with code-current insulation, and 1970s–80s ranches whose attics are essentially as-built. The right starting point depends on the era of the house.

The era of the house decides the job

West Melbourne is genuinely split, and it is the clearest example of it in the county. The newer subdivisions off Minton went up with insulation at or near current Florida requirements. The 1970s and 1980s ranches nearby have attics that are essentially as-built.

Two houses two miles apart can therefore need completely different work. That is why we do not quote this city off a square-foot number over the phone. The build year changes the answer more than the square footage does.

What the newer houses still need

A code-current attic is not a finished attic. Depth is only one of the two variables, and the other one is air movement: top plates, wire and pipe penetrations, and the attic hatch are routinely left unsealed at build even in recent construction.

Sealing those is cheap relative to adding material, and on a newer West Melbourne house it is often the change that actually moves the power bill, because the depth was never the limiting factor.

Questions

The ones we get asked most.

My West Melbourne house is fairly new. Is there anything to do?
Usually yes, though it is not adding depth. Newer builds here tend to have adequate insulation and unsealed penetrations, so air sealing is the change that matters. It is cheaper than adding material and often makes more difference on a house like that.
How do I know which kind of West Melbourne house I have?
The build year is the fastest tell. Roughly, subdivisions off Minton built in the last twenty years start from a code-current attic; the 1970s and 1980s ranches around them generally do not. A depth reading confirms it either way in a few minutes.
Do you do dryer vents in West Melbourne too?
Yes, and it is a common add-on here because a lot of the housing stock runs the duct up through the roof rather than out a side wall. That is a longer run with an elbow in it, which loads up faster and needs cleaning from both ends.

    Matt is a great guy, him and his crew will make sure your insulation needs are met or whatever service he is providing to you. Matt is the type of guy that will crawl in your granny's attic when you dont want to.

    Matt and crew are great to work with, up front, personable, and honest. Matt climbs in attics most wouldn't and he gets it done. Absolutely recommend Matt for your insulation needs and any other services he offers you may be looking for.
