As the oldest city in Western Canada, New Westminster has some of the most characterful and historic homes in the Lower Mainland. From the Victorian heritage houses of Queen's Park to the worker cottages of Sapperton, these homes carry decades of history in their walls and attics. We specialize in bringing these cherished older homes up to modern insulation standards.
From heritage homes in Uptown to waterfront properties in Queensborough, we provide the complete range of attic insulation services that New Westminster's unique housing stock demands.
Safe removal of old, settled, or contaminated attic insulation with proper disposal.
Professional blown-in fiberglass or cellulose insulation installed to optimal R-value.
Soffit, ridge, and roof vent systems to prevent moisture buildup and extend roof life.
Seal gaps and penetrations in the attic floor to stop conditioned air from escaping.
Insulated, weatherstripped hatches that eliminate a common source of heat loss.
Thorough inspection for rodent and pest activity with preventative sealing and cleanup.
Properly vented exhaust fans to prevent moisture damage in your attic space.
Identify and address mold-prone conditions before they become a health concern.
New Westminster's housing stock is among the oldest in the region. The Queen's Park and Uptown neighbourhoods contain heritage homes dating back to the early 1900s, many of which have never had their attics upgraded. Original insulation in these homes, if it exists at all, has long since passed its useful life. Some attics contain sawdust or newspaper insulation that offers virtually no thermal performance by modern standards.
Sapperton's hillside position means homes here face increased exposure to wind and rain from the northeast. The neighbourhood's worker cottages and post-war homes often have shallow-pitch roofs with limited attic space, making professional blown-in insulation the most effective approach. These tight spaces require experienced crews who know how to achieve full, even coverage without leaving gaps.
Queensborough, situated on an island in the Fraser River, presents moisture challenges similar to Richmond. The high water table and river proximity create elevated humidity levels that can lead to condensation in attic spaces. Newer Queensborough townhomes have smaller attic spaces that still require proper ventilation and insulation to perform well.
Downtown and Brow of the Hill feature a mix of older single-family homes and converted multi-unit properties. Renovations and suite conversions over the years have often disrupted the building envelope, creating air leakage pathways from heated spaces into the attic. Our detailed inspection process identifies these hidden problems so we can seal them properly during the attic reset.
