Where does your attic actually stand?
Attic R-value in a Centennial two-story depends on even depth across the whole floor, not a deep pile in the middle of the attic while the corners above stairwells and closets run thin. Zone 5B’s target of R-49 to R-60 is hard to hit with insulation that’s original to a 1970s-90s Willow Creek or Foxridge build and has settled ever since.

01THE PROBLEM
The Attic Problems Blown-In Insulation Quietly Solves.
Centennial’s Willow Creek, Foxridge, and Homestead subdivisions are full of 1970s-90s two-stories where the upstairs was hot and cold from day one, because that generation of construction rarely got more than builder-minimum attic insulation. Decades of settling since then have made it worse, and gaps around can lights, ductwork, and the attic hatch let conditioned air escape year-round. Homeowners tend to blame the upstairs HVAC zone, but in most cases it’s under-depth, settled, or gappy loose-fill and unsealed air leaks, the equipment is doing its job, the attic isn’t.
A · Attics still sitting at an old R-19 to R-30
Bonus rooms and home offices framed above an attached garage sit over unconditioned space, so heat drains through the floor while the garage pulls it away below. You get cold floors, a room running 10–15° off the rest of the house, and a furnace that never catches up. We insulate the floor joists, knee walls, and sloped ceilings, then air-seal the garage ceiling and rim.
B · Loose-fill that has settled, thinned, or gone flat
Most Centennial basements, the brick ranches east of Wadsworth, the split-levels around Lake Arbor, have bare concrete or block foundation walls. Finishing that basement without insulating the walls first buys you a cold, clammy room and a heating bill to match. Blown-Ins in the new stud walls, with the correct vapor retarder, turn it into comfortable, usable square footage.
C · Bare patches, gaps, and wind-washed eaves
Additions, pop-tops, and finished attic conversions are often framed to the minimum of their day, or never insulated in the walls at all. That leaves one part of the house always chasing the thermostat. Filling the wall, floor, and rafter cavities with properly sized blown-in insulation brings the new space up to the same comfort as the original home.
D · Ice dams and a top floor that never holds heat
Insulation isn’t only about temperature. Blown-Ins packed into interior walls and between floors cut the sound that travels between a media room and the bedrooms, an office and the living room, or upstairs and down. Mineral wool does this best. It’s a small add during a remodel that quietly changes how the whole house feels.
02THE FIX
Cellulose or Fiberglass. One Honest Recommendation.
We inspect the attic in person first, measuring actual depth and tracking down air leaks rather than guessing. Air-sealing and eave baffles go in first to keep soffit airflow working, then we recommend cellulose for dense, borate-treated coverage or fiberglass where settling resistance matters more, one honest recommendation based on your specific two-story attic.
03WHAT TO EXPECT
A Half-Day Inside. Here's How It Goes.
A typical Centennial blown-in attic job goes from inspection through air-sealing to a final depth-check across the attic, usually done in a few hours.
We confirm the plan from your assessment, then protect floors and finishes around the work area.
We air-seal top plates, can lights, and the attic hatch, then set baffles at the eaves so airflow cannot wind-wash the new insulation.
Loose-fill is machine-blown evenly across the attic floor to the marked depth, filling every gap around joists, ducts, and penetrations.
We check coverage against depth-ruler cards staked across the attic so you hit the rated R-value corner to corner.
We vacuum up, haul away offcuts, and walk every cavity with you before we leave.

The upstairs bedrooms in our Foxridge two-story were miserable every summer, our kids' rooms would still be 80 degrees at bedtime even with the AC running. Grizzly sealed the leaks around our attic hatch and recessed lights and topped off the insulation to full depth, and this summer those same rooms have stayed comfortable all afternoon. It's the first winter in years we haven't seen ice building up over the garage eave either.

Blown-in insulation is loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass machine-blown into the attic to a measured, even depth. In Centennial it’s used across attic floors in the 1970s-90s two-stories throughout Willow Creek, Foxridge, and Homestead, filling gaps around framing and topping off original insulation that’s thinned over time.
Both perform well when installed to the right depth. Cellulose’s dense, borate-treated fill works well in the irregular attic framing common to Centennial’s older two-stories, while fiberglass won’t settle over time and handles moisture near bath fan vents well. We’ll recommend the right one for your attic after inspecting it, not by default.
Yes, in most Centennial attics we blow new insulation directly over existing material without removing it, as long as it’s dry and in reasonable shape, common in Willow Creek and Foxridge homes where the original builder-grade insulation has simply settled over 30-plus years. If it’s soiled or water-damaged, we remove that portion first.
Centennial sits in Climate Zone 5B, which calls for R-49 to R-60 in the attic, roughly 14 to 17 inches of cellulose or 16 to 20 inches of fiberglass depending on the product. We measure actual depth throughout the attic, since coverage in older Centennial two-stories is rarely even.
Cellulose settles somewhat after installation, and we install to account for that so you land at your target depth over the long term. Loose-fill can also get pushed around by unsealed air leaks and wind near the eaves, which is a separate issue from normal settling and why we address air-sealing and baffles alongside any top-off.
Blown-in wins in Centennial’s attics with irregular framing, ductwork, or existing insulation to build on, a good description of most 1970s-90s two-stories here. Batts suit open wall cavities better than attic floors. Spray foam has a place in complex rooflines or conditioned attics, but for a standard vented attic, blown-in reaches R-49–R-60 for less.
