Complete Attic Decontamination, Removal And New Insulation
From rodent and contamination cleanup to old insulation removal, air sealing, and new blown-in or batt insulation installed to a code R-value, every attic scenario handled across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts by one trained crew from inspection through final walkthrough.
Rodent And Contamination Cleanup
Mouse droppings, urine, nesting material, and bat guano removed under HEPA containment. Affected surfaces sanitized and deodorized with EPA-registered products before any new insulation is installed, protecting indoor air quality and the crew.
HEPA containment · Sanitized deck
Old Insulation Removal
Contaminated, water-damaged, flattened, or undersized insulation removed by commercial insulation vacuum or bagged and hauled out. The attic deck is left clean and ready, with no contaminated material left to off-gas into the home.
Vacuum or bagged · Hauled away
New Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass installed to a uniform depth that meets the Climate Zone 5 attic target of R-49 to R-60. Depth markers set and photographed so coverage is verifiable across the entire attic floor.
Code R-value · Depth verified

Additional Attic Services
Air Sealing
Top plates, wire and pipe penetrations, recessed lights, chases, and the attic hatch sealed before insulation goes down. Air sealing stops the stack-effect leakage that wastes energy and lets warm, moist air into the attic.
Rodent Exclusion And Proofing
Entry points sealed with copper mesh, hardware cloth, and sealant so the cleaned and reinsulated attic stays pest free. Coordinated with a licensed pest operator when an active infestation is present before the attic is closed.
Mold And Moisture Correction
Roof leaks, bath fan ducts venting into the attic, and condensation on the deck identified and corrected as part of the scope. Surface mold on sheathing treated so the new insulation is installed over a dry, sound deck.

Signs Your Attic Insulation Needs To Come Out
The attic is the single biggest driver of heating and cooling loss in most homes, and it is where rodents, moisture, and old insulation cause the most hidden damage. These are the signs that the existing insulation should be removed and replaced, not just topped off, across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts.
Rodent Droppings And Urine
Contaminated, Cannot Be Saved
Insulation soaked with mouse or bat waste holds pathogens, allergens, and odor that ride attic air into the living space. Contaminated insulation cannot be cleaned in place. It has to be removed under containment, the deck sanitized, and entry points sealed before new material goes down.
Old Or Flattened Insulation
15 To 20 Plus Years Old
Insulation that is fifteen to twenty years old, compressed, or settled has lost much of its rated R-value. Topping over failed or contaminated material traps the problem underneath. Removing it first is the only way to reach a clean, verifiable code R-value.
High Energy Bills And Drafts
Heat Escapes Through The Attic
Warm air rises and escapes through an underinsulated, leaky attic, so the furnace and air conditioner run longer to hold setpoint. Air sealing and a full depth of new insulation are the highest-return energy upgrade available on most homes in this climate.
Water Or Mold Damage
Roof Leaks And Bad Venting
Roof leaks and bath fans that vent into the attic instead of outside soak the insulation and grow mold on the deck. Wet insulation never recovers its R-value. The moisture source has to be corrected, the deck treated, and the insulation replaced.
Uneven Comfort Room To Room
Hot And Cold Spots
Rooms that never hold temperature usually sit under thin, gapped, or missing insulation. Blown-in insulation installed to a uniform depth across the whole attic floor evens out comfort far better than the patchy batt coverage found in most older homes.
Ice Dams In Winter
Warm Attic Melts Roof Snow
A warm, leaky attic melts roof snow that refreezes at the eaves and forms ice dams that back water under the shingles. Air sealing, full insulation depth, and protected soffit-to-ridge ventilation keep the roof deck cold and stop the cycle.

We had mice in the attic for years and the insulation was disgusting. The crew sealed it off, vacuumed everything out, sanitized the deck, and blew in new insulation. The smell is gone and the upstairs is warmer.
Andrew P.
Rodent Cleanup And ReinsulationOur heating bills were out of control. They air sealed the attic and added a full depth of blown-in insulation. They also gave us the paperwork for the Energize CT rebate, which made a real dent in the cost.

Air Sealing And InsulationA roof leak had soaked the old insulation and there was mold on the deck. Green Restoration corrected the moisture, treated the wood, removed the wet insulation, and reinsulated. Clean work and clear photos.
Jennifer R.
Moisture And InsulationThe bedrooms over the garage were always cold. They found gaps and thin spots in the attic, air sealed, and blew in even coverage everywhere. The hot and cold rooms finally feel the same.

Attic Cleanup And Insulation FAQs
Clear answers on attic decontamination, insulation removal and replacement, R-value, air sealing, cost, and the state rebates available across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts.
Yes, in most cases. Insulation contaminated with rodent droppings, urine, or bat guano holds pathogens, allergens, and odor that move into the living space through attic air. It cannot be cleaned in place. The correct approach is to remove the contaminated insulation under HEPA containment, sanitize and deodorize the deck, seal the entry points, and then install new insulation.
Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts sit in Climate Zone 5, where the recommended attic insulation level is R-49 to R-60. Many older homes measure R-19 to R-30 or less once the insulation has settled or been damaged. We measure the existing depth, then install new insulation to a uniform depth that reaches the R-49 to R-60 target and set depth markers so the result is verifiable.
As a general range, old insulation removal runs about $1 to $2 per square foot, and new blown-in insulation runs about $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot installed depending on the target depth. A full project that includes decontamination, removal, air sealing, and new insulation commonly falls between $3,000 and $9,000 or more depending on attic size, access, and contamination. Every estimate is written, itemized, and backed by a fixed quote, and state rebates reduce the new-insulation portion.
No. The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit for insulation, IRS Section 25C, ended on December 31, 2025 and does not apply to projects completed in 2026. Homeowners who completed qualifying insulation work by the end of 2025 may still claim it on their 2025 tax return. For 2026 work, the savings come from the state and utility programs: Energize CT in Connecticut, NYSERDA Comfort Home and Con Edison in New York, and Mass Save in Massachusetts.
No. State and utility rebates are calculated on the energy value of the new insulation and air sealing, so they cover the new insulation, not the removal, cleanup, or decontamination of old or contaminated material. We document the qualifying new-insulation scope separately so you can apply for the rebate, and the removal and decontamination are billed as their own line items.
