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
Every Decade Cut Its Own Holes. None of Them Sealed Any.
The Victorians vented on purpose, the ranches remodeled through their ceilings for seventy years, and Southpark’s framers left chases open behind drywall. Whichever Littleton you live in, heated air is riding those openings into the attic tonight, and closing them is the cheapest heating upgrade the house can buy.
AChimneys wearing century-wide collars
Old Town’s masonry chimneys pass through framing gaps sized by 1890s judgment. Warm air pours up the collar year-round, we close it with metal flashing and fire-rated sealant, clearances respected absolutely.
BSwamp-cooler scars in the ranch belts
Woodlawn and Centennial Acres cooled evaporatively for decades, and the ceiling chases stayed when AC arrived. A fist-to-furnace-size hole under the insulation is a routine find, and sealing it is often the visit’s biggest single win.
CSouthpark’s open-chase fireplaces
The 80s–90s fireplace surround hides a framed chase running open to the roof deck. Capping it with rigid blocking and fire-rated sealant is the definitive Southpark air-sealing move.
DWind off the valley multiplying it all
Platte-valley drainage winds pressurize Littleton homes on winter nights, forcing air through gaps that barely leak in calm weather. The draftier your street feels, the more the sealing returns.
02THE FIX
Seal Alone, or Seal Under New Depth?
Healthy insulation gets sharpened by sealing; thin insulation gets multiplied by it. The audit tells you which project you have:
03WHAT TO EXPECT
Three Eras of Leaks, One Methodical Morning.
How a Littleton sealing visit runs:
Your house’s decade tells us where to look first; the attic pass confirms and photographs every opening into the audit map.
Existing insulation gets pulled aside at each target and laid back after, nothing leaves the attic that is not contaminated.
Rigid caps on balloon cavities and cooler chases, fire-rated flashing at chimneys and flues, airtight covers on cans, foam and caulk on the rest.
The hatch gets gasket, insulation, and latch; whole-house fans get insulated seasonal covers, the ceiling’s two biggest holes, handled.
Every sealed point photographed and listed by location and method, a completion record that stays with the house through its next sale.

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 Sterne Park ranch had the old cooler chase wide open under the insulation, plus nineteen smaller leaks. One morning closed them all, photographed. The hallway draft we lived with for fifteen years is simply gone."

05QUESTIONS
Air Sealing in Littleton, Answered Straight
Every path between living space and attic: balloon-frame cavities in older homes, abandoned cooler and flue chases in the ranch belts, fireplace bypasses and dropped soffits in Southpark, plus can lights, duct boots, fans, and the hatch everywhere. Each opening gets the material its type and temperature demand.
Opening inventory, ceiling era, flue detailing, and hatch scope set the price, plaster homes take more care than drywall ones. It remains the least expensive, fastest-payback job in weatherization, and the audit produces written line items before anything is sealed.
Because if the bypasses were open then, they are open now, under the new material. Insulation over an open chase hides the leak without stopping it. Retro-sealing rescues the earlier investment, and the audit will show you exactly what was buried.
Only with fire-rated methods, which is the discipline of the trade. Metal flashing and rated sealants maintain clearances at anything hot; expanding foam never touches a flue on our jobs. Old Town chimneys get the most careful hour of the visit.
Half a day for most Littleton homes, a full day for four-squares and heavy-chase ranches. Quiet attic work with hand tools, you stay home, nothing in the living space is disturbed.
It is the root-cause fix. Dams form when ceiling heat melts roof snow that refreezes at the eaves; sealing keeps the heat out of the attic so the roof stays uniformly cold. Paired with proper depth, it ends the cycle rather than managing the gutters.
