INSULATION COMPANY LONGMONT, CO

Insulation Built for Longmont, From Old Town Longmont to Prospect

Longmont was founded in 1871 as a planned farming colony and kept its historic grid. Old Town Longmont holds compact early-1900s Victorians and brick bungalows — often with almost no insulation to begin with — while newer neighborhoods like Prospect, St. Vrain Creek, and around McIntosh Lake were built to 1990s–2000s code minimums. Each era needs a different fix.

Sitting in Boulder County on the St. Vrain floodplain near the foothills, Longmont also sees strong Front Range wind, hard freeze-thaw swings, and the flash-flood and hail risk the St. Vrain corridor knows. A tight, well-insulated envelope is about comfort, efficiency, and resilience all at once.

Colorado sits in IECC Climate Zone 5B, which calls for R-49 to R-60 in the attic. Many older Longmont homes we inspect measure R-19 or less — and the oldest measure close to zero. Grizzly handles every service on this page for homeowners across 80501.

Blown-in and batt upgrades to R-49–R-60 — from near-zero Old Town Longmont cottages to code-minimum Prospect homes. Most attics done in a day.

Closed-cell air-barrier foam for rim joists, additions, and the wind-exposed assemblies of Longmont’s older and newer homes alike.

Sealing the ceiling plane against Front Range wind before insulation — because in a leaky early-1900s cottage, air sealing is where the savings start.

HEPA-filtered removal of old, settled, or rodent-soiled material — clean deck, healthier air, disposal handled, ready for a proper reset.

Moisture-smart crawl space insulation and encapsulation for Longmont’s older cottages and St. Vrain Creek-corridor foundations.

EPA-registered TAP® borate insulation adds thermal performance and rodent deterrence in one install — built for open-space-adjacent Longmont homes.

Spray foam and fiberglass systems for Old Town Longmont’s Main Street storefronts, offices, and light-industrial space — off-hours, on schedule.

WHY LOCAL EXPERTISE MATTERS

Longmont's Insulation Challenges

Three local realities shape how we quote, prep, and install every Longmont job — from Victorians and brick bungalows to open-space wildlife.

HOUSING STOCK

From Older Homes to New Subdivisions

Longmont’s homes span the early-1900s to today. Old Town Longmont’s Victorians and brick bungalows often have empty wall cavities and next to no attic insulation; the 1990s–2000s builds in Prospect and St. Vrain Creek carry code-minimum R-19. Each needs its own fix — dense-pack, top-off, or a full removal and reset.

CLIMATE EXTREMES

Front Range Climate Extremes

Longmont sits on the St. Vrain floodplain near the foothills, where temperatures swing sharply and Front Range wind pushes cold air through every gap. Freeze-thaw cycling works openings loose around can lights, flues, and framing. Insulation without air sealing simply can’t keep up here.

RODENT PRESSURE

Open Space = Rodent Pressure

St. Vrain Creek, McIntosh Lake, and the open space around Longmont funnel mice toward warm attics every fall. Rodent-soiled insulation loses R-value and hurts air quality. We handle removal, exclusion, and borate-treated pest-control insulation in-house.

What Homeowners Say About Grizzly

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We kept hearing scratching in the attic every October, and the upstairs bedrooms never held heat. Grizzly’s crew vacuumed out sixty years of filthy insulation, sealed the entry gaps, and blew in the pest-control insulation, all in one day. Two winters later: no mice, warmer bedrooms, and our January Xcel bill dropped noticeably.

“Our Old Town Longmont cottage had almost no insulation and a furnace that never caught up. Grizzly dense-packed the walls, air-sealed the attic, and brought it to R-49. Warm for the first time in years — and the bills dropped fast.”

INSULATION LONGMONT

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about insulation in Longmont, answered straight.

Longmont is in Climate Zone 5B, where attics should carry R-49 to R-60 — roughly 16–20 inches of blown-in insulation. Old Town Longmont cottages often measure near zero; even 1990s Prospect homes measure R-19 or less. A free assessment shows exactly where you stand.

Almost always — the Victorians and brick bungalows have the most to gain because they started with so little. We often dense-pack the empty walls and air-seal first, then top the attic to R-49+. Degraded or rodent-soiled material comes out before new goes in.

Yes, in-house. St. Vrain Creek, McIntosh Lake, and Longmont’s open space put homes near steady rodent pressure. We remove soiled insulation with HEPA vacuums, seal the entry points, and install borate insulation that resists nesting.

They solve different problems. Blown-in cellulose is the cost-effective choice for open attic floors where R-49+ is the target. Spray foam delivers the highest R-value per inch and doubles as an air barrier, ideal for rim joists, crawl spaces, and garages. Many Longmont projects combine both.

Often, yes. Longmont is in Xcel Energy territory, and qualifying insulation and air-sealing work can earn utility rebates, plus the federal 25C tax credit covers 30% of qualifying costs up to $1,200/year. Programs change, so we confirm current eligibility during your free estimate and help with documentation.

Most single-family projects finish in 1–2 days. An attic top-off with air sealing on a typical Longmont ranch is often a single day. Whole-home projects touching the crawl space and rim joists may run two full days. You get a clear timeline with your quote, and we stick to it.
