Insulation Company in Murrieta, CA
Blown in insulation is the most common call we get from Murrieta homeowners, and for good reason. The city’s 1990s and 2000s tract homes came with builder-grade fiberglass that settles, thins, and stops doing its job right around the time attic temperatures start hitting 140°F every summer. We’re North Tustin Insulation, an insulation-only contractor serving Murrieta and the Temecula Valley, and we match the material to your home, not the other way around. Call (877) 265-5712 for a free estimate.
Why Murrieta Homes Are Different
Murrieta sits in the hot inland Temecula Valley, where summer days routinely pass 100°F and attic spaces can climb to 150°F. That heat gain is the single biggest driver of insulation work here. The housing stock compounds it: most Murrieta homes are Mediterranean or Spanish-style stucco tract homes built between the 1990s and 2010s, with tile roofs and attached garages. Builders insulated to code minimums of the era, typically R-13 in walls and R-19 to R-30 in ceilings. Twenty or thirty years later, that fiberglass has settled, been walked on by cable installers, or pulled back during remodels. You end up with a home that looks fine from the street but bleeds conditioned air through the attic. In newer subdivisions across 92562 and 92563, we regularly find vaulted ceilings with dangerously thin coverage over the garage, which is the classic Murrieta retrofit job. Coastal San Diego County can get away with marginal attic insulation because the marine layer keeps attics cooler. Murrieta cannot.
Our Main Murrieta Services
Two services dominate the insulation conversation in Murrieta: attic insulation and spray foam. Here’s what each one looks like on a Murrieta home.
Attic Insulation in Murrieta
Most Murrieta attics were built with R-19 to R-30 fiberglass batts or blown-in material that has since settled and thinned. On a 100°F day, a poorly insulated attic radiates heat down through the ceiling for hours after sunset, and the air conditioner never catches up. We inspect the existing coverage, air-seal the bypasses around can lights and top plates, then bring the attic up to a level that actually makes a difference for Riverside County summers. Tile roofs and stucco construction mean attic access is usually the most practical retrofit path, not opening walls. Learn more about Attic Insulation in Murrieta.
Spray Foam Insulation in Murrieta
Spray foam earns its keep in Murrieta when homeowners want air sealing and insulation in one pass. Open-cell foam works well on the underside of the roof deck, keeping the whole attic space closer to the home’s conditioned temperature, which matters when your attic is 140°F. Closed-cell foam makes sense for garage ceilings, bonus rooms, and anywhere moisture or space constraints matter. We carry Icynene and Demilec spray foam systems, so the recommendation is driven by the home’s construction, not by whichever foam happened to be on the truck.

Blown In Insulation in Murrieta
Blown in insulation is the workhorse retrofit for Murrieta’s 1990s and 2000s tract homes. On those sun-baked tile-roof houses, old blown-in fiberglass settles and thins over garages and vaulted ceilings, leaving rooms that feel ten degrees hotter than the rest of the house in August. We use blown-in cellulose and fiberglass to restore consistent ceiling coverage, often topping up over settled cavities and adding a radiant barrier where the attic heat gain is worst. This is the core of what we do for Blown In Insulation in Murrieta.
Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
Rooms directly under the attic stay hot long after sunset, or you can see bare drywall between settled fiberglass batts from the attic hatch.
What it costs in Murrieta
Blown cellulose for an attic typically runs $1.20 to $2.10 per square foot of attic floor in Murrieta, depending on depth and access.
How we do it
We air-seal the ceiling plane first, then blow GreenFiber or standard cellulose to the target R-value, checking depth markers every few feet.
Blown In Fiberglass Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic has old, compressed pink or yellow fiberglass that measures well under current recommended depth, and your cooling bills climb every summer.
What it costs in Murrieta
Blown fiberglass in Murrieta attics usually runs $1.00 to $1.90 per square foot, with exact pricing set by target R-value and attic accessibility.
How we do it
We blow fiberglass over the existing layer after air-sealing, building to the R-value your ceiling needs for inland Riverside County heat.

Is blown in insulation worth it in Murrieta heat?
