TRUSTED PRODUCTS & PARTNERS
The Brands Behind Every Grizzly Install
We don’t install mystery material. Every Arvada project uses products from the industry’s most trusted manufacturers.
01THE PROBLEM
The Builder Met Code. Code Moved. Your Attic Didn’t.
Production builders insulate to the minimum that passes inspection, that is the business model. The minimum in 1985 was a third of today’s standard, and blown fiberglass loses loft every decade after. Under a big two-story volume, that gap is the difference between even rooms and a furnace that never rests.
AFiberglass that flattened with the decades
The blown fiberglass of the 70s and 80s compacts, drifts, and thins over can lights and walkways. What measured R-22 at inspection reads R-14 today across Willow Creek and The Knolls, and it never recovers on its own.
BTwo-story volumes stacking the losses
Vaulted foyers and open stairwells drive warm air to the ceiling plane, exactly where thin insulation and builder bypasses wait. Big volume plus thin attic equals stratified rooms and a hardworking furnace.
CHail roofs writing history in the attic
Centennial re-roofs after hail as often as anywhere in the metro, and pre-replacement leaks matte the insulation below. Wet history means dead R-value, we find it, remove it, replace it.
DGreenbelt guests bedding down in the fill
The trail network delivers field mice to Centennial attics every fall, and thin fiberglass makes easy bedding. Contaminated zones get extracted and the reasons sealed, insulation and exclusion in one visit.
02THE FIX
Top-Off the Thin, or Reset the Damaged?
Dry, clean fiberglass gets buried under fresh cellulose; matted or contaminated fill comes out first. The photos decide, not a pitch:
03WHAT TO EXPECT
One Crew, One Day, Forty Years of Code Caught Up.
How an attic day runs in a typical Centennial two-story:
Your inspection plan gets walked at the door, then runners protect the route and everything near the hatch gets covered.
Matted or contaminated fiberglass leaves through a sealed vacuum hose. Dry, healthy fill stays down and becomes free base R-value.
Fireplace chases, dropped soffits, can lights, and the hatch, the production-era shortcuts get foamed, capped, and gasketed.
Depth rulers across the deck, then cellulose to 14–17 inches, R-49 to R-60 after settling, wall to wall, no thin spots over the garage.
Final depths photographed at multiple points, the route swept, debris gone. The upstairs bedrooms notice by bedtime.
The Grizzly 100% Guarantee
If the work isn't right, we make it right. That's the reputation we've built across the Front Range, and it's our only sales pitch.

"Our Homestead Farm two-story read R-17 up top, 1984 original. Sealed and topped to R-60 in a day. The upstairs finally matches the thermostat, and January’s bill dropped enough to notice."

05QUESTIONS
Attic Insulation in Centennial, Answered Straight
R-49 to R-60 for Climate Zone 5B, roughly 14 to 17 inches of blown cellulose. Homes from Centennial’s big build decades typically carry R-14 to R-25 today. Your free inspection returns the exact figure with photos.
Footprint, current depth, bypass count, and any extraction set the number. A straightforward top-off on a dry attic is the common case and the lightest ticket. Every factor appears as a line item in writing before you commit.
Only if it is matted from hail-era leaks or contaminated by rodents. Dry, clean fill stays put as base R-value, your budget goes into depth instead of disposal. We photograph the evidence and quote both paths when it is genuinely close.
Because its floor sits over an unconditioned garage with wind-washed batts and open cavity edges, a builder-era shortcut. The fix is foam and sealing in the garage ceiling, often paired with the attic work in the same visit.
One day for most Centennial attics, sealing included. Extraction-first projects and bonus-room additions typically run two. Timeline in writing with the quote.
That is the primary payoff. Sealing the ceiling bypasses stops the stack-driven losses, and R-49+ overhead slows the summer bake and winter drain. Upstairs-downstairs spread narrows immediately, most owners notice night one.
