Older homes often come with charm, character, and timeless appeal—but they also come with insulation challenges. Many aging properties lack adequate thermal protection, leading to drafts, high energy bills, and uneven temperatures throughout the house.

Blown insulation has become one of the most effective solutions for improving comfort and energy efficiency in older homes. At Houston Roofing & Gutters, we specialize in installing high-quality blown insulation designed to upgrade your home’s performance without major structural modifications.

Common Insulation Challenges in Older Homes

1. Poor or Failing Existing Insulation

Older insulation may be:

• Compressed

• Ineffective

• Pest-damaged

• Full of gaps

Blown insulation fills these voids quickly and efficiently.

2. Air Leaks and Drafts

Cracks and unsealed areas allow air to escape, forcing HVAC systems to work harder. Blown insulation improves air sealing and stabilizes indoor temperatures.

3. Hard-to-Reach Areas

Attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities can be difficult to upgrade using traditional insulation materials. Blown insulation easily conforms to irregular spaces.

4. Higher Energy Costs

Poor insulation is one of the leading causes of rising utility bills in older homes. Upgrading with blown insulation improves energy efficiency immediately.
