Why homeowners pick us for insulation work
The owner sees your house first
I come out and look at your attic, walls or crawl space myself, so your estimate fits your house instead of being a guess over the phone.
The right order, said plainly
If something has to be fixed before insulation can help, I'll tell you, even when that means calling another trade first.
Careful work, cleaned up after
I learned this trade next to my dad, and we still work at that careful pace, cleaning up and checking the job before we go.
If you've got a cold room or a drafty attic, tell us about it or call (952) 234-9016.
Insulating homes in Burnsville
Burnsville runs along the south side of the Minnesota River, and a lot of people here spend their free time at Alimagnet Park, with its trails and canoe launch on Alimagnet Lake, or on the Minnesota River Greenway, looking out over Black Dog Lake. Terrace Oaks West Park adds a few miles of hard trail through mature woods, and after a day out on any of them, you want to come home to a house without a cold draft.
The City of Burnsville issues building permits and runs inspections, and you can reach City Hall at 952-895-4400 if you have a question about your own project. Its residential building permit page lists the kinds of work it covers. We're based here in Burnsville, so coming out to look at your attic is a short drive for us.

Insulation contractor services in Burnsville, MN
Thermal Burnsville Insulation Company is an insulation contractor in Burnsville, MN, with 16 services for drafty rooms, cold floors and high power bills. Price turns on the size of the space, what's already up there and whether old material has to come out, and the schedule turns on anything that needs fixing first. Your on-site estimate gives your number.
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam fills odd gaps in walls, rooflines and the room over the garage, and it stops air while it insulates, though it costs more.
Attic insulation
If upstairs runs hot in summer and cold in winter, we seal the attic floor and bring insulation to an even depth, edge to edge.
Blown-in insulation
We blow loose fill through a hose into attics and closed walls, which tops up thin spots quickly and settles around wires and framing.
Home insulation
For homeowners who want the whole house looked at, we check the attic, walls, basement and crawl space and insulate where it'll actually help.
Insulation removal
We pull out old, damaged or contaminated insulation and clean the attic down to the boards, so new material goes onto a clean, dry floor.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors over a crawl space usually mean air leaks below, so we seal the edges and insulate the walls to stop it.
Wall insulation
We insulate walls in new framing or blow material into closed walls through small holes we patch, for rooms that stay cold along outside walls.
Air sealing services
We close the gaps around pipes, wires, can lights and the attic hatch, so drafts stop before any insulation goes in.
Basement insulation
For a basement that feels damp and chilly, we insulate the walls once any water problem is fixed, so nothing gets trapped behind them.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is dense foam that blocks moisture and air, and we use it on basement walls, crawl space walls and other spots that run damp.
Open-cell foam insulation
We spray open-cell foam, a softer, lighter foam, into rooflines and walls where you want air stopped without the cost of closed-cell.
Commercial insulation
For people running small commercial buildings, we seal and insulate attics, walls and ceilings in the same order we'd use in a house.
Crawl space vapor barrier
We lay a heavy plastic vapor barrier over a dirt crawl space floor so ground moisture stays down there instead of rising into the house.
Vapor barrier installation
We install vapor barriers in walls and ceilings during remodels and new framing, on the side that keeps the insulation dry.
Attic air sealing
Ice dams and a hot upstairs often start with warm air leaking into the attic, so we seal those gaps before adding any insulation.
Retrofit insulation
For older homes built with little insulation, we add it to attics and closed walls without tearing out finished rooms.

How an insulation job works with us
Call or send a message
Call (952) 234-9016 or send a message through the contact form and tell us what you're noticing, like a drafty room, a hot upstairs or a power bill that keeps climbing. We answer calls and messages within one business day and set a time for me to come see it.
I look at the space and price it
I come out and look at your attic, walls or crawl space in person, checking how many inches are already up there and whether anything has to be handled before insulation goes in. Then I leave you a free estimate written for your house, with no obligation to book.
Our crew does the work
Our install crew does the job the way we planned it, sealing gaps around lights, pipes and the hatch first so the insulation isn't fighting a draft. They keep the eave vents clear so the attic can still breathe, and they lay the material as deep at the edges as in the middle.
We walk the finished job
Before we leave, I walk the finished job with you, so you can see the sealed gaps, the depth and the cleanup for yourself. If something doesn't sit right with you, that's the time to tell me, while we're all still there.
Your insulation questions answered
How much does attic insulation cost in Burnsville?
It depends on your attic, mainly its size, how many inches are already up there and how much air sealing it needs, so I price it after seeing it in person. Choosing spray foam over blown-in raises the cost, and the estimate gives you a real number before you decide anything.
Does it cost more to remove old insulation before adding new?
Yes, removal adds to the job, but if the old insulation was soaked or is full of droppings, fresh material on top just keeps the problem in your attic. If it's dry and clean, we usually leave it and add on top, which saves you the removal.
How long will the crew be in my attic, and when can my kids and pets come back?
That depends on the job, because topping up with blown-in goes much faster than pulling old insulation or spraying foam, and with loose fill and sealing you can usually stay home. Spray foam is different, since everyone, pets included, stays out until the foam maker's re-entry time, the wait before it's safe to come back in, has passed, and I'll tell you what that is for the product we use.
Is your insulation company licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. If you'd like to see our insurance before work starts, just ask when I'm out for the estimate.
Should I fix a roof leak before insulating my attic?
Yes, fix the leak first, because insulation over a wet spot holds the water against the wood and hides the damage until it's worse. If I find a leak, old vermiculite or anything else that has to be dealt with first, I'll tell you plainly and point you to the right trade.
Do you guarantee your insulation work?
Yes. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Since I walk the finished job with you before we leave, you can raise anything you're not happy with while the crew is still there.
Is spray foam or blown-in insulation better for an attic?
For most attics, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in is the better buy, while spray foam costs more but seals air as it insulates. Foam earns its cost when your furnace ducts run through the attic, because sealing the whole roofline keeps those ducts in the warm part of the house.
Do I need a permit to insulate my house in Burnsville?
Check with the city first, because Burnsville says permits must be obtained before every project, and its residential permit list names work like roofing, siding and remodels rather than insulation on its own. We check with the city before work starts and take care of the permit when a job calls for one, and if an inspection is part of it, we set it up and meet the inspector.
