It’s important to insulate your roof and attic space to increase your home’s energy efficiency and lower your energy bills. Insulation will also keep you more comfortable by regulating temperature and buffering outside noise.
In the winter, insulation is key to preventing damage to your roof from ice dams. If warmer air inside your house tries to escape through the top of your roof but is blocked by snow and ice, it heats up and refreezes the snow. This cycle can cause major issues to your roof. By insulating your attic and roof, you protect your home’s integrity and avoid expensive repairs later in one easy step.
Different types of insulation are effective for different roofing systems, but which one is right for you? While consulting with our experts is the best way to find out, consider the different types of insulation ahead of calling to get a feel of what might be best for your home.
Spray Foam
Spray foam insulation is made from polyurethane foam and can be easily applied to hard-to-reach areas such as the corners of attics or other difficult areas of your roof. When properly applied, it offers excellent thermal insulation for homes, provides higher energy efficiency, and can also minimize air infiltration by sealing your home’s building envelope.
Cellulose
Cellulose insulation comes from any cellular plant source, traditionally wood or paper. For this reason, cellulose insulation is considered an eco-friendly home product. It can settle around and conform to most of the obstructions found in walls and attics. In addition, it is more resistant to insects and vermin due to applied chemicals.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass is composed mainly of glass that works to trap air and slow the transfer of heat. Applicable in numerous ways and made of recycled materials, it is easy to install, energy-efficient, flame retardant, and provides great noise cancellation qualities in addition to the insulating properties.

Rock-Crete spray foamed my shop and house along with roofed my new house. I could not ask for a better company to perform the work. The knowledge and professional is unparalleled and it looks great!
Called several contractors to spray foam insulation in a 40 ft container, almost non responded until I called Rock-Crete. They were fast, efficient, and economical. Great job.
Greg (Rock-Crete) and his team were phenomenal to work with. They spray foamed [open cell (~5” on the ceiling and 3” on the walls)] of my 1200sq ft barndo with no issues. I researched five different spray foam companies and was very happy… More I went with Rock-Crete. I highly recommend Rock-Crete!
Everyone at Rock-Crete are total professionals. They did a great job on our roof, arrived on time and finished up in one day. They delt with our insurance company and everything went smooth. Need a new roof--call Rock-Crete!
I got my roof reinstalled after a hail storm. Mat and everyone at Rockcrete were very professional, handling everything from dealing with the insurance company (which was a big headache for me), removing the old shingles, installing the… More new roof, and cleaning up. Everything was done on time, and Mat explained the whole process clearly.They came by multiple times after everything was done, to pick up loose nails in the garden. I'm very happy with the result, and I highly recommend this business.
