What Sets AtticShield Apart from the Rest
In a world of contractors cutting corners and homeowners paying the price, AtticShield was created to do things differently. We believe your attic and crawlspace aren't just forgotten spaces—they are the shield protecting your comfort, your energy bills, and your health.
Code-Compliant Insulation Upgrades
Built to Meet California Standards
Every insulation system we install—whether blown-in fiberglass or batt insulation—is designed to meet California Title 24 energy code requirements. This ensures your home is legally compliant, energy efficient, and protected for years to come.
Proper R-Value & Air Sealing
We calculate the correct R-value based on your climate zone and always perform thorough air sealing before insulation goes in. This step is critical for maximizing efficiency and ensuring your insulation performs as it should.
Documented & Verified Work
Every project comes with full photo documentation showing insulation depth, coverage, and material used. You’ll have clear proof that the work was completed to code and without shortcuts.
Clean, Careful Installation
From protecting hatches and walkways to covering ducts, our technicians treat your home with care during every step of installation. The result is a durable, well-documented insulation system you can trust.
We Protect the Home—Not Just the Attic
Respect for Your Property
From the moment we arrive, we treat your home as if it were our own. Padded floor runners and plastic coverings are laid down to safeguard your floors, walls, corners, and doorways—so your home never feels like a construction zone.
Containment Before the Work Begins
Before insulation removal or ductwork starts, we fully isolate the attic access with containment barriers and install fiberglass batts around the hatch to stop loose-fill insulation from spilling. We also seal nearby vents to keep dust out of your HVAC system.
Safe Removal with Professional Equipment
Our technicians use commercial-grade HEPA vacuums and sealed disposal bags to capture dust, rodent droppings, and insulation particles. Every material removed is handled legally, safely, and with full containment.
A Clean Finish, Every Time
When the work is complete, we take extra steps to leave your home spotless. Protective coverings are removed, surfaces are wiped down, and floors are vacuumed so your home looks just as clean as when we arrived.
Our Commitment to Quality and Safety
Thorough, Code-Compliant Work
At AtticShield, our mission is to protect California homes with attic and crawlspace services that are done the right way—meeting all energy codes and safety standards. We don’t cut corners or leave details unfinished, ensuring every project is built to last.
Documented for Your Peace of Mind
Every step of our work is carefully completed and photo-documented, giving you visible proof of the results. From insulation upgrades to rodent proofing, we provide transparency so you know exactly what was done and how it was handled.
Competitive Pricing, Lasting Value
We strive to offer fair, competitive pricing while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship. When it comes to your family’s health, comfort, and long-term home performance, “good enough” is never good enough.
Energy Efficiency & Lasting Value
Every home is different, and so is every project we take on. At AtticShield, we customize our approach based on your home’s age, layout, existing insulation, and specific problem areas. From rodent proofing to air sealing and insulation upgrades, we design solutions tailored to your needs—not a one-size-fits-all package. This ensures maximum energy savings, year-round comfort, and lasting results that protect both your home and your investment.
Local, Responsive & Family-Operated
Locally Owned, Personally Invested
AtticShield isn’t a franchise or a call center—we’re a family-operated business based in Escondido, serving San Diego County, Temecula, Lake Elsinore, and the surrounding areas. Because we live and work in the same communities, every project we complete is personal.
Direct Communication, No Outsourcing
When you call AtticShield, you’re speaking directly to our in-house team—not subcontractors or offshore schedulers. We know the local building codes, the cities we serve, and how to respond quickly when your home needs attention.
Built on Relationships & Trust
Our company has grown through personal relationships and word-of-mouth, not pushy sales tactics. We show up on time, follow through, explain every detail, respect your home, and stay accountable long after the job is done.
Neighbors, Not Just Customers
Whether you’re a homeowner, real estate agent, or property manager, you’re never just another job on our schedule. We treat every client like a neighbor—because that’s exactly what you are.
California Licensed & Legal
Fully Licensed, Bonded & Insured
AtticShield is proud to hold a C-2 Insulation Contractor License—the only CSLB classification legally authorized to perform insulation removal, installation, and energy-efficiency upgrades in California. In addition, we are fully bonded and insured to protect you and your home at every step.
Why Licensing Matters
Many competitors operate without the correct license—or any license at all—putting homeowners at risk of failed inspections, fines, and unsafe work. Licensing ensures that your project is completed to code, legally compliant, and safe for long-term performance.
Common Misconceptions
Homeowners are often surprised to learn that not every contractor can legally handle insulation. General contractors (Class B) may only install insulation as part of a larger remodel, pest control companies are not licensed to remove or install insulation or seal ducts, and unlicensed operators often skip permits, cut corners, and leave you exposed to costly problems.
Your Assurance of Quality
For AtticShield, licensing is more than just paperwork—it’s your guarantee that we are a qualified, trusted contractor committed to clean, code-compliant, and long-lasting results.
