Trusted by Baltimore Homeowners
Overlea sits in northeast Baltimore between Fullerton Avenue and the Baltimore Beltway. This page covers insulation contractor services for Overlea homes, ranchers, and split-levels. We focus on attic insulation, wall cavity fills, crawl space encapsulation, and air sealing.
Many Overlea homes were built in the 1940s through 1960s with minimal original insulation, which means heating and cooling costs run higher than they should. One-story ranchers, Cape Cods, and split-levels are common in this pocket. Tight attic access hatches in older ranchers require compact equipment, and our crews plan for that on every job.
Call to check availability for your Overlea property. Insulation Contractor Overlea services help cut energy bills in these post-war homes, and qualifying improvements may be eligible for Maryland energy efficiency rebates.
Attic Insulation Upgrades Stop Heat Loss in Overlea Ranchers
Homeowners in Overlea ranchers with R-11 or less fiberglass batts lose heat through the roof all winter. Blown cellulose or fiberglass raises the R-value to R-38 or R-49, which cuts your heating bill and keeps rooms more comfortable. Many Overlea ranchers have fold-down attic stairs in hallway ceilings, so we plan equipment staging around that access point.
Our crew vacuums old insulation if it’s damaged, air-seals penetrations around pipes and wires, then blows new material to the target depth. Most rancher attics complete in half a day. You’ll notice the difference in upstairs temperature within the first week.

Wall Cavity Insulation Fits Overlea's Post-War Construction Styles
Owners of 1940s through 1960s Overlea homes often find empty wall cavities when they check during renovations. Dense-pack cellulose or spray foam cuts drafts and noise between rooms. Overlea split-levels often have exposed foundation walls that also need insulation to stop cold floors in winter.
We remove exterior siding or access through interior drywall, fill the cavity, then patch and paint to match your finish. Brick ranchers require drilling through mortar joints for a plug-and-patch method. The process takes one to two days depending on wall area, and you can stay in the home while we work.
Crawl Space Encapsulation Protects Overlea Homes from Ground Moisture
Overlea homeowners with vented crawl spaces sometimes notice mold or musty odors coming through floor registers. A vapor barrier, closed vents, and insulated rim joists keep humidity below 60% year-round. Homes near Herring Run Park may see higher groundwater after heavy rain, which makes encapsulation even more important.
Our crew installs a 10-mil or 20-mil liner across the crawl floor, seals foundation vents, and insulates the rim with closed-cell foam. Baltimore City typically does not require a permit for crawl encapsulation under 120 square feet. The work takes one to two days for most Overlea split-levels.

Air Sealing Around Windows and Soffits in Mid-Century Overlea Homes
Homeowners who feel drafts around aluminum windows or soffit vents waste conditioned air every month. Spray foam or caulk around penetrations stops 20 to 30 percent of air leakage before it starts. Many Overlea ranchers still have original aluminum single-pane windows, and gaps around the frames let outdoor air flow straight in.
Our technician uses a blower door test to locate leaks, then seals gaps before the insulation install begins. We complete air sealing during the same visit as attic insulation for maximum efficiency. The combination delivers better results than insulation alone, and when paired with HVAC system upgrades, your home operates at peak efficiency.
ATTIC TYPES
Insulation Removal Clears Damaged Material from Overlea Attics
Homes with rodent-damaged, water-stained, or compressed insulation batts need a clean start before new material goes in. Vacuum extraction removes contaminated material and prepares the attic deck for fresh insulation. Overlea attics with roof leaks near Herring Run may show water damage on the existing batts.
We use a HEPA-filter vacuum, apply attic sanitizing spray if needed, and dispose of old insulation at an approved Baltimore County facility. Removal adds two to four hours before new insulation installation. The result is a clean, safe attic space with proper thermal protection that helps your air conditioning system work less during Baltimore summers.
