Qualified Insulation Contractor in Gastonia NC - Comfortable Rooms Upstairs and Down
Complete Gastonia Insulation Services insulates and air seals attics in Gastonia and nearby cities like Belmont and Dallas. We also pull out old, damp insulation and put a vapor barrier in the crawl space under older houses.
We seal and insulate the houses Gastonia families already live in, fixing what's wrong first so the new insulation actually does its job.
Gastonia is where we're based, and most of what people here do on a nice day happens outside. Lineberger Park, the city's first park, sits seven blocks from downtown and has a trailhead for the Avon/Catawba Creek Greenway, whose paved extension circles the Gaston County Vietnam War Memorial. Rankin Lake used to hold the city's drinking water and is now a park with a paved trail around the lake, fishing piers and boats you can rent at the lake office.
At the Schiele Museum, the Nature Trail runs 0.7 mile through pine woods, hardwoods, ponds and streams typical of the North Carolina Piedmont, and dogs are welcome on it. Then everybody goes home to a hot room upstairs, a cold floor or a crawl space nobody wants to visit, which is fair, because crawl spaces aren't much of a destination. That part is ours.

Why homeowners hire usFix it first, then insulate.
Got a cold room or a crawl space you'd rather not look at? Tell us about it.
Problems fixed first
If there's a leak, a wet spot or droppings in the old insulation, I'll tell you and we deal with it before anything new goes in. Covering it up means paying later.
Made for lived-in houses
We started out insulating empty new houses, and now we work around your furniture, the boxes in the attic and whoever's downstairs. We treat it like someone lives there, because someone does.
Owner-checked work
Our own crew does the work, and I check it myself. I look for buried eave vents and thin spots at the edges, the usual ways an attic job goes wrong.
Insulation contractor services in Gastonia, NC
Complete Gastonia Insulation Services is an insulation contractor in Gastonia, NC for houses with a hot upstairs, drafty rooms, cold floors or a power bill that keeps climbing. We offer 16 services, so one visit can cover the attic, walls, crawl space and basement instead of one corner. The price mostly comes down to how much space we're covering, what's already in there, whether old material has to come out and whether you pick foam or loose fill. The schedule turns on how easy the space is to get into and what needs fixing first. Your on-site estimate puts your own job in numbers.
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam goes on wet, expands into the gaps and seals air while it insulates. It costs more, so we save it for spots where that sealing earns its keep, like an attic with ductwork running through it.
Attic insulation
Hot upstairs or a room over the garage that never feels right? We seal the gaps first, then bring the attic up to an even depth all the way out to the edges, where it usually runs thin.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is loose fill blown through a hose, so it settles around joists and wiring where batts won't fit. It's our usual pick for topping up an attic that already has some.
Home insulation
This is the whole-house look, with attic, walls, crawl space and basement checked in one visit. That way you're not fixing one corner while another keeps leaking heat.
Insulation removal
When old insulation got soaked or is full of droppings, new material on top just keeps the problem. We bag it out and clean the space so the next layer starts fresh.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors usually start underneath them. We insulate the crawl space so the floor above stops pulling heat out of the room.
Wall insulation
Which rooms stay drafty no matter what the thermostat says? Often the walls have little or nothing in them, and we can usually fill them through small holes instead of tearing out drywall.
Air sealing services
Air sealing means closing the gaps around pipes, wires, can lights and the attic hatch before insulating. It's the step that keeps new insulation from fighting a draft.
Basement insulation
We insulate basement walls and rim joists so the basement, finished or not, stays closer to the temperature of the rest of the house.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is dense foam that blocks moisture as well as air. We use it where water is the worry, like crawl space walls and rim joists.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is softer and lighter, and it fills odd shapes like the underside of a roof deck. It seals air well and costs less than closed-cell.
Commercial insulation
We insulate offices, shops and other commercial buildings in the same order we use at home, fixing what's wrong, sealing, then insulating.
Crawl space vapor barrier
Is the crawl space damp, musty or just somewhere you'd rather not go? We lay a vapor barrier over the ground so moisture stops rising into the framing and the floor above.
Vapor barrier installation
We install vapor barriers in walls, basements and crawl spaces where moisture would otherwise work its way into the insulation and soak it.
Attic air sealing
Before any insulation goes up there, we seal the gaps in the attic floor and keep the eave vents open so the attic can still breathe.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation means adding insulation to a house that's already built and lived in. It's the work we started this business to do.

Call or send the form, and we reply within one business day to set up a visit. We'll ask your address because we work both sides of the state line.
I come look
I come out myself, check the attic, walls, crawl space or basement and note anything in the way. Tell me which rooms bother you most so I know where to start.
Written estimate
You get a free written estimate with no obligation. If something has to be fixed first, like a leak or soaked insulation, it's on the estimate in plain words.
Fix, seal, insulate
If you go ahead, we handle any permit paperwork, fix what comes first, then seal and insulate. Our own crew does the work, start to finish.
Cleanup and care
We clean up before we leave and show you what went in and how deep. Keep boxes off the new attic insulation so it stays full depth.
Insulation work up close
Insulation questions Gastonia homeowners askShort answers, plainly.
How much does insulation cost in Gastonia, NC?
It depends on your house, and you'll get a real number from the free on-site estimate. The biggest swings usually come from removing old insulation and from choosing foam, which costs more than blown-in. Call (980) 745-0005 to set up a visit.
Why does removing old insulation add to the cost of the job?
Because soaked or droppings-filled insulation has to be bagged and hauled out before anything new goes in, and that's work on its own. Putting new material over it just keeps the problem, so I'd rather tell you up front.
How long will the insulation crew be in my attic, and do we have to leave?
It depends on the size of the attic, how easy it is to reach and whether anything gets fixed first, so I'll tell you at the estimate. With blown-in and air sealing you can usually stay home. Spray foam has a re-entry time, the wait before you, the kids and pets can come back inside, and we go over it before work starts.
Is Complete Gastonia Insulation Services licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and insured. Separately, North Carolina law requires a general contractor to be licensed by the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors when a project's total cost is $40,000 or more.
How do I get my house ready for attic insulation?
Clear a path to the attic hatch and move what you can off the attic floor, because we need to reach the edges and the gaps around pipes and lights. Anything too heavy to move, we work around.
Do you guarantee your insulation work?
Yes. Satisfaction guaranteed. If something about the finished job doesn't sit right with you, call (980) 745-0005 and tell us what you're seeing.
Is spray foam better than blown-in insulation for my attic?
Usually not, because sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in does the job for less money. Foam earns its higher price mainly when your ductwork lives in the attic, since it seals air while it insulates.
Do I need a permit to insulate my house in Gastonia?
It depends on the job, and the city's permit list names projects like additions, interior remodels and roofs rather than insulation, so we check before work starts. The City of Gastonia issues zoning permits and Gaston County Permitting issues construction permits, with the City's zoning approval going to the county first. When a permit is needed, we work out which offices cover your address and handle the paperwork.
