Attic insulation in West Palm Beach
Cardinal Insulation of Boca Raton does blown-in insulation, spray foam, insulation removal, and attic sanitizing in West Palm Beach. The shop is 4263 NW 1st Ave, Boca Raton, FL 33431. There is no West Palm street address. Call or text (561) 654-7698.
East of Dixie, the houses are older CBS with barrel tile, can lights, and a hatch in a closet. West of I-95 and out toward the turnpike, the attic floors get bigger and the fill is usually just thin. Downtown towers and Rosemary Square condos are not attic jobs. If there is no hatch into a vented attic, say so before you book a visit.
A common West Palm ranch still has about four inches of settled fiberglass. That is roughly R-9. The gap to R-38 is about 11.7 inches of new blown fiberglass. Summer storms wet the eaves first. If the fill is dry, we seal and top it up. If it is wet, moldy, or full of droppings, it comes out before any new insulation goes down.
Air sealing happens before the first bag. Removal is only for wet or ruined fill. The attic planner is a range, not a bid.
How much does attic insulation cost in West Palm Beach?
A planning range, not a bid. An 1,800 sq ft attic with 4 inches of settled fiberglass — about R-9 — needs about 11.7 inches of new blown fiberglass to reach R-38. That range is $2,100–$3,350. A bigger floor in West Palm Beach costs more. A tight hatch, removal, and roof-deck foam are not inside that number.
Run the attic insulation cost planner with this city in mind, then text the shop a photo of the hatch. Spray foam and attic sanitizing are priced on their own.
Blown-in insulation in West Palm Beach
Dry, thin fill gets sealed and topped to an even R-38. You get a depth check before we leave. Fiberglass is the usual top-up. Cellulose packs denser when the attic and the old fill call for it.
Spray foam insulation in West Palm Beach
Spray foam belongs on the roof deck when a bonus room, a Florida room, or a low addition should sit inside the conditioned house. It is not a quiet swap for a blown-in top-up on a vented attic. Foam has a cure smell. Blown-in does not.

R-38 in a West Palm Beach attic
Florida's code minimum for these attics is R-30. Cardinal's blown-in standard in West Palm Beach is R-38. Four inches of settled fiberglass is about R-9. The planner turns your square footage and depth into inches and a range. It is not a bid.
Air sealing happens before the first bag: cans, top plates, chases, bath fans, and the hatch. A top-up over open holes does not fix the bill.
West Palm Beach insulation questions
Who does blown-in insulation in West Palm Beach?
Cardinal Insulation of Boca Raton. We air-seal the attic, then blow fiberglass or cellulose to R-38. The shop is 4263 NW 1st Ave, Boca Raton, FL 33431. West Palm Beach is a service area. There is no second address. Call or text (561) 654-7698.
What R-value should a West Palm Beach attic be?
Florida's code minimum for these attics is R-30. Cardinal's blown-in standard in West Palm Beach is R-38. Four inches of settled fiberglass is only about R-9. The gap is usually depth, plus leaks at the top plate, the cans, and the hatch.
Do you insulate Ibis, Flamingo Park, and El Cid?
Yes, when the property is a house or townhome with an attic hatch. El Cid and Flamingo Park are tighter and older. Ibis and Baywinds are larger floors. Downtown condos do not have an attic we can blow.
How much does attic insulation cost in West Palm Beach?
A planning range, not a bid, comes from attic size and what is already up there. An 1,800 sq ft attic with 4 inches of settled fiberglass is about $2,100–$3,350 of new blown fiberglass to reach R-38. Removal, a tight attic, and roof-deck foam are priced on their own.
Will new attic insulation cut the electric bill?
A thin, leaky West Palm attic makes the air conditioner cool air it already paid for. Air sealing plus an R-38 top-up is the usual fix. We do not promise a dollar amount. The bill depends on the unit, the ducts, and how the house is used.
Which West Palm Beach ZIP codes do you cover?
