Insulation Company in Meadowbrook, CA
Meadowbrook homeowners call us most often about blown in insulation, and for good reason. The tract homes built here during the 1980s and 1990s came with builder-grade fiberglass batts that have since settled, compressed, and lost much of their original R-value. Add in summer days that routinely cross 100°F, and you get attics that hit 150°F or higher, air conditioners that run nonstop, and energy bills that climb every July. Gallant Insulation Co has served Meadowbrook since 2014, installing blown in insulation, attic insulation, and spray foam using materials from eight named manufacturers. Call (877) 265-0627 to talk through what your home actually needs.
Why Meadowbrook Homes Are Different
Meadowbrook sits deep in the Inland Empire’s inland valley, where the summer heat is relentless and the sun beats down on rooftops for hours every afternoon. This is not the coastal California climate you get an hour west. Here, attic temperatures regularly exceed 150°F in July and August, which means whatever insulation sits between your ceiling and that roof deck has to work harder than it would almost anywhere else in the region.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most Meadowbrook homes were built during the 1980s and 1990s construction boom, and the original insulation was often the cheapest builder-grade fiberglass batts available at the time. Three decades later, those batts have settled, compressed under their own weight, and in many cases been disturbed by rodents, roof repairs, or wiring work. Fiberglass loses R-value when it compresses, and once it settles below the top of the ceiling joists, it stops doing its job. Many Meadowbrook attics we inspect are sitting at R-19 or R-25 when current Title 24 energy standards call for R-38 to R-60 in this climate zone.
That gap between what was installed in 1988 and what the home actually needs today is the single biggest factor driving insulation work in Meadowbrook. It is also why blown in insulation is the most common fix we perform here: it fills the entire attic cavity, covers the joists, and brings the assembly up to a consistent, verifiable R-value without tearing out the old batts first.
Our Main Meadowbrook Services
Two services account for most of the insulation work we do in Meadowbrook, each one suited to a different part of the home and a different set of problems.
Attic Insulation in Meadowbrook
Attic insulation is the first thing we check in a Meadowbrook home because the attic is where the most heat enters the house. In homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, the existing batts are almost always underperforming, whether from settling, moisture exposure, or simply being too thin for today’s standards. We remove or supplement what is there, air-seal the ceiling plane where it matters, and bring the attic up to the R-value that actually makes sense for this climate. Attic Insulation in Meadowbrook covers the full scope, materials, and what to expect from an attic retrofit here.
Spray Foam Insulation in Meadowbrook
Spray foam solves a different set of problems in Meadowbrook: rim joist leaks, crawlspace humidity, vaulted ceilings, and rooflines where batts simply cannot perform. Closed-cell foam from Demilec or Icynene adds structural rigidity and a full air barrier, while open-cell foam is the right call for certain wall and ceiling cavities. In a climate where air leaks mean hot air pouring into the home all summer, the air-sealing properties of foam often matter more than the R-value alone. Spray Foam Insulation in Meadowbrook explains when foam is the better investment and when it is not.

Blown In Insulation in Meadowbrook
Blown in insulation is the workhorse solution for Meadowbrook attics. Most of the tract homes here still have their original fiberglass batts, and after 30 to 40 years those batts have settled well below the top of the ceiling joists. That leaves gaps at every joist bay, and gaps mean heat transfer. Blown in insulation solves this by filling the entire attic floor to a uniform depth, covering the joists themselves and eliminating the thermal bridging that batts cannot address. We carry both fiberglass and cellulose options, including GreenFiber cellulose for homeowners who want a recycled-content product. Learn more about the method on our Blown In Insulation page.
Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic has old, settled fiberglass batts, your upstairs rooms run 5 to 10 degrees warmer than downstairs in summer, and your cooling bills climb every August.
What it costs in Meadowbrook
Blown cellulose for a typical Meadowbrook attic runs from $1,600 to $3,000, depending on square footage, current insulation depth, and how much air sealing the project requires.
How we do it
We assess the existing insulation, air-seal penetrations like can lights and wiring chases, then blow GreenFiber cellulose to a consistent depth across the entire attic floor.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic insulation is below the top of the joists, you can see bare spots or uneven coverage, or your home was built before 2000 and has never had insulation added.
What it costs in Meadowbrook
Blown in attic insulation in Meadowbrook typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,600 for a standard single-story tract home, with larger or two-story homes running higher.
How we do it
We run a hose to the attic access, blow the material to the specified depth using a calibrated machine, and verify final R-value with a depth gauge before we pack up.
Blown In Cellulose Insulation
Signs you need it
You want a denser, better-performing attic blanket than fiberglass batts can provide, and you prefer a product with recycled content and strong sound-dampening properties.
What it costs in Meadowbrook
Blown in cellulose typically costs $1,600 to $3,000 in Meadowbrook, with pricing driven by attic square footage and the target R-value for this climate zone.
How we do it
We use GreenFiber cellulose, which is treated for fire resistance and pest resistance, and blow it to a depth that meets or exceeds Title 24 requirements for the Inland Empire.
Loose Fill Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic has uneven coverage, open gaps around vents or ductwork, or areas where old insulation has been pushed aside and never replaced.
What it costs in Meadowbrook
Loose fill insulation projects in Meadowbrook run from $1,200 to $2,600, with the final number depending on depth needed and access conditions in the attic.
How we do it
We blow loose fill material uniformly across the attic floor, building depth until the entire surface reaches the target R-value with no thin spots or bare patches.

How long does blown in insulation take in Meadowbrook?
Most Meadowbrook blown in insulation jobs are finished in half a day to one full day, depending on attic access and whether air sealing is needed first. Call (877) 265-0627 for a timeline on your specific home.
Does blown in insulation work in 150°F attics?
Yes. Blown cellulose and fiberglass both perform well at high attic temperatures when installed to the correct depth. The key is hitting the R-value target so heat cannot transfer through the ceiling into living space. Call (877) 265-0627 for a free estimate.

Prices in Meadowbrook tend to run toward the middle of these ranges because of the housing stock: attics in 1980s and 1990s tract homes are usually accessible but often need air sealing and old insulation removal before new material goes in. You get an upfront price before any work starts, and the number we quote is the number you pay unless you add scope mid-project.

What Meadowbrook Customers Say
"Attic was at maybe R-11 from the 1970s and blown in over the top would have just buried the problem. They removed the old material, air sealed the top plates and penetrations first, then blew in to R-49. The upstairs is a completely different house in August."
— Emily Ackerman"Work is good and the house is noticeably more comfortable. There was insulation debris left in the hall closet under the attic access that I had to clean up."
— Eduardo Reyes"Spray foam in the rim joists in the basement. The cold floors above them are gone."
— Carlos Hernandez
