Keep Your Home Warm This Winter with Cellulose Attic Insulation

October 6, 2025

Affordable, Effective, and Built for Midwest Winters

When winter hits Southeast Wisconsin and Northeast Illinois, homeowners know just how quickly heating bills can climb. One of the most effective ways to keep your home warm while lowering energy costs is ensuring your attic is properly insulated.

At Dick’s Roof Repair, we’ve been helping families stay comfortable since 1957, and today we want to highlight why cellulose attic insulation is one of the smartest upgrades you can make before the cold weather arrives.

Heat naturally rises, which means your attic is one of the biggest sources of heat loss in your home. Without proper insulation, the warm air you’re paying for escapes through the roof, forcing your furnace to work harder and your energy bills to climb higher. Adding or upgrading insulation in your attic creates a thermal barrier that helps keep the warmth inside where it belongs—and can even help prevent ice damming by maintaining consistent attic temperatures.

The Benefits of Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose insulation is a top choice for homeowners in our region because:

Made from recycled materials, cellulose is dense and effective at filling small gaps and hard-to-reach areas, reducing drafts and leaks. It also provides the highest R-value on the market, meaning it offers superior thermal performance to keep your home warmer longer.

By minimizing heat loss, you’ll notice more consistent temperatures and less strain on your heating system.

Cellulose insulation is manufactured using up to 85% recycled paper products, making it a greener choice for your home and the environment.

Treated with safe, fire-retardant materials, cellulose insulation is 100% fireproof, adding an extra layer of safety to your home.

It also provides excellent soundproofing, making your home quieter and more comfortable.

Affordable, Effective, and Built to Last

Our cellulose attic insulation services start at $1,499, with final pricing dependent on the size of your attic. This investment not only boosts your home’s comfort but also pays off through lower energy bills and long-term protection.

Fall is the best season to schedule insulation services. With winter just around the corner, booking now ensures your home is ready before temperatures drop and schedules fill up. A properly insulated attic not only keeps your family warm but also delivers real savings throughout the cold months.
