Insulation Company in Cerritos, CA
Cerritos is a master-planned city where most homes went up between the late 1960s and early 1980s, and the original insulation is still sitting in attics across 90703. That means our most common call is blown in insulation: covering settled fiberglass batts, sealing air leaks, and finally bringing attic R-value up to what a hot inland-adjacent Southern California summer demands. Easton Insulation Co has served Cerritos since 2017, and we stock seven professional-grade brands so the material we recommend matches your home’s specific construction, not a catalog we’re locked into. Call (833) 467-6922 for a free estimate.
Why Cerritos Homes Are Different
Cerritos wasn’t built piecemeal over a century like older neighboring cities. It was planned, and planned tightly, which means most single-family homes share the same mid-century assemblies: wood-framed roofs with attic space, original fiberglass batts that have settled and lost R-value, and drywall that was never air-sealed to the framing below. The city also has an unusually large share of condos, townhomes, and age-restricted senior communities, many with flat or low-slope roofs and HOA rules that affect when and how attic work gets approved. In practice, an insulation job in Cerritos often starts the same way: we find a 45-year-old attic with sagging batts and recessed can lights that act as open chimneys for hot attic air, then we fix the envelope before we add R-value. The local climate makes this matter more than most homeowners expect. Cerritos sits inland enough that summer highs regularly push into the 90s, and the dry air lets attic temperatures climb well above that. Cooling dominates the utility bill, so attic insulation, air-sealing, and duct performance carry the load. When a Santa Ana heat spike hits, a properly sealed and insulated attic is the difference between a second-floor that stays comfortable and one that never cools down.
Our Main Cerritos Services
Most Cerritos homeowners call us for one of two things: either their existing attic insulation is failing and they want it brought up to current standards, or they want the tighter air-sealing and higher R-value per inch that spray foam delivers. Both are specialized jobs, and both depend on choosing the right material for the specific roof assembly and HOA situation.
Attic Insulation in Cerritos
Original 1970s fiberglass batts don’t just lose R-value as they settle; they leave the attic floor under-insulated in exactly the spots that matter most. We see it in tract homes across Cerritos: batts compressed to half their original thickness, gaps around recessed lights, and attic hatches that leak conditioned air around the clock. Our attic insulation work combines air-sealing with new material, installed to the manufacturer’s spec whether that’s Owens Corning fiberglass, Rockwool mineral wool, or GreenFiber cellulose.

Spray Foam Insulation in Cerritos
Cerritos townhomes and condos often have roof assemblies where fiberglass batts can’t perform well, and those jobs call for a different approach. We install open-cell and closed-cell spray foam from Icynene and Demilec, which air-seals as it insulates, a combination that matters a lot when you’re dealing with a flat or low-slope roof over a top-floor unit. Spray foam is equipment-intensive and requires training to install correctly; it’s not a job for a general handyman. Details are on Spray Foam Insulation in Cerritos.

Blown In Insulation in Cerritos
Blown in insulation is the most practical retrofit for Cerritos’s 1960s – 1980s housing stock because it works without tearing down drywall or rebuilding the attic. We blow loose-fill material directly over the settled original batts, filling the gaps and building R-value up to current standards, and because the material is applied under pressure, it seals odd cavities and awkward corners that batt installations always miss. This is where GreenFiber cellulose really earns its place in Cerritos: it’s a dense, recycled-fiber material that performs well in the dry Southern California attic environment and covers recessed-can fixtures correctly once they’re sealed. For homeowners in the planned developments across 90703, blown in insulation is often the highest-value upgrade available, and it’s a service we’ve been performing here since 2017. Learn more about the service at our Blown In Insulation page.
Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
If your Cerritos home has original fiberglass batts that look thin, uneven, or gray after decades of settling, blown cellulose can fill what the batts no longer cover.
What it costs in Cerritos
Blown cellulose attic retrofits in Cerritos typically run $1.90 – $2.80 per square foot, or about $1,400 – $2,900 for the common 1,500 – 2,000-square-foot attic.
How we do it
We seal the bypasses, cover and seal recessed lights to code, then blow GreenFiber cellulose to the target depth using a calibrated machine.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Signs you need it
Rooms that get noticeably warmer by midday, a second floor that never cools down, or high summer cooling bills all point to an attic with too little R-value and too many air leaks.
What it costs in Cerritos
A complete blow-in attic upgrade in Cerritos, including air-sealing, typically lands between $1,800 and $3,600 for a standard tract home.
How we do it
We clear the workspace, seal all ceiling penetrations, then blow fiberglass or cellulose to the R-value the home needs.
Loose Fill Insulation
Signs you need it
If you have awkward attic cavities, shallow joist bays, or older batts that leave the floor uneven, loose fill solves coverage problems that batt installation can’t address.
What it costs in Cerritos
Loose fill work in Cerritos runs $1.40 – $2.90 per square foot depending on material and depth, priced as a per-square-foot rate like other blown work.
How we do it
We calibrate the blower for the material, cover the attic floor evenly to the specified depth, and confirm the R-value with a depth check.

Is blown in insulation worth it for a Cerritos home built in the 1970s?
Usually yes. Those attics were built to R-19 or less, and after decades of settling many now perform closer to R-11. Adding blown cellulose over the top brings the assembly up to code and cuts cooling costs immediately. Call (833) 467-6922 for an exact quote.
Can you add blown in insulation without removing the old batts?
In most Cerritos attics, yes. We remove anything that’s compressed, wet, or contaminated, then blow new material over what remains to reach the total R-value. The old batts don’t need to be stripped first. Call (833) 467-6922 and we’ll assess your attic.

Often yes, especially for townhomes, condos, and any home with shared walls or a low-slope roof area. Most Cerritos HOAs want written scope of work before attic access. We can provide that documentation, but the approval step typically sits with the owner.
Settled original fiberglass batts combined with unsealed recessed lights and attic hatches. The batts lose R-value, the fixtures leak hot attic air downward, and the home’s cooling bill keeps climbing. The fix is usually air-sealing plus blown insulation, not just adding more material.

— Marisol Delgado"Plastic laid from the front door to the attic hatch and they vacuumed the hallway afterward."
