A large share of a Michigan home's heat escapes straight through an under-insulated attic. Horizon installs proper attic insulation to the right R-value, in the right order, so your home stays warmer in winter, cooler in summer and cheaper to run all year.
Insulation and ventilation work together. Done correctly, they also protect your roof from the moisture and ice dams that shorten its life.
The right R-value for Michigan
We insulate to Michigan code and to what your specific home needs, whether that is topping up existing insulation or a full attic upgrade, so you get real, measurable comfort and savings.
Air-sealing first, in the right order
Adding insulation over unsealed leaks wastes money. We seal the air leaks first, then insulate, so the insulation can actually do its job.
Ventilation that protects the roof
Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation keeps the attic dry and cool, preventing the condensation and ice dams that damage roofs and shorten their lifespan.
Why air-sealing comes before insulation
Piling insulation over unsealed gaps, around light fixtures, the attic hatch, plumbing stacks and top plates, lets warm, moist air keep leaking straight past it. We seal those leaks first, then add insulation. Do it in that order and the insulation performs the way it is rated to; skip it and you are paying to heat the attic.
Insulation and your roof work together
A warm attic melts rooftop snow that refreezes at the cold eaves, the recipe for ice dams and winter leaks. By air-sealing, insulating to Michigan code and balancing intake and exhaust ventilation, we keep the deck cold and dry, protecting both your energy bills and the roof above.
