Why Summer Is Actually a Great Time to Insulate Your Attic

Here's what's actually happening in an under-insulated attic in July: your roof deck absorbs heat all day, and that heat radiates down into your living space. Your AC runs longer, works harder, and your second floor stays stuffy no matter what you set the thermostat to. Spray foam applied to the roof deck or attic floor stops that heat transfer at the source.

There's a practical reason to schedule in summer too. Attic work in the Hudson Valley books up fast in September and October when everyone realizes their heating season is six weeks away. Scheduling in June means you get on the calendar without competing with half of Dutchess County.

The other thing worth knowing: spray foam cures faster in warmer temperatures, and attics are easier to work in when there's no snow on the roof making them damp. Summer installations tend to go smoothly.

If your upstairs rooms are uncomfortable from June through September, that's the attic telling you something. It's worth a free estimate to find out what it would take to fix it.
