Insulation Removal & Replacement in Naples, FL

Insulation Removal & Replacement is for attics where adding more on top would only bury a problem. In Naples that usually follows a roof leak, a storm that drove water through the eaves, a rodent problem, or a plan to foam the roof deck. Wet insulation loses much of its value, contaminated insulation can carry odors, and either one should come out before anything new goes in.

After a storm

Hurricane Ian caused an estimated $2.2 billion in damage to buildings in Collier County, and many attics took on water when roofs lost shingles or tiles. Insulation that was soaked and dried in place is often matted and stained. Once the roof is repaired, removing it lets us inspect the drywall and framing underneath.

Rodents and pests

Roof rats and other pests nest in loose attic insulation and leave droppings behind. We remove the material, and you should have the entry points closed by a pest professional before new insulation goes in, or the problem comes right back.

Before roofline foam

If you are moving to an unvented attic, the old insulation on the attic floor sometimes comes out so the space works as intended. We explain when that helps and when it can stay.

What it costs to do it twice

Putting new insulation over wet or contaminated material usually means paying to remove both later. Removing the old layer first costs more upfront but leaves you with a clean attic you can inspect and a new layer that performs as it should.

Old foam

Spray foam that was poorly applied, pulled away from the framing or has an odor issue can be cut and scraped out. It is slower work than vacuuming loose-fill, and it costs more. Call (239) 977-5375 or get a free estimate.
