Spray foam insulation
We spray foam on the underside of the roof or into tight spaces where loose fill won't stay put, like sloped ceilings and cramped corners near the roof.
Insulation contractor in Yorba Linda, CA - comfort problems traced to the source
Truetemp Corona Spray Foam Insulation insulates and air seals Yorba Linda homes, from attics and walls to crawl spaces. We find out why a room won't stay comfortable, then fix that cause instead of selling the biggest job.
What insulation work looks like in Yorba Linda
We're based in Corona, and Yorba Linda is one of the cities around it where the calls sound a lot like the ones we get from Chino Hills and Chino. An upstairs bedroom stays hot after the AC has run all afternoon. A room over the garage is one nobody wants to sleep in. The power bill keeps climbing and nobody can say why. Usually the answer is up in the attic, so that's where I start with a flashlight, checking how many inches are already there, whether the old stuff is clean and dry, and which way the air is moving.
The price moves with the size of the attic, whether old material has to come out first, how many gaps need sealing and whether foam makes more sense than loose fill. The schedule turns mostly on removal and on whether the city's Building Division wants a permit, and the estimate I write after my visit gives you your own figure. A room over the garage changes the job more than most, because it has open air on more than one side and usually needs its floor and walls looked at, not just the attic above it.
Sealing the leaks before adding more
Insulation slows heat but does little against moving air, so we close the leaks first. Skip that and the new insulation spends its life fighting a draft.
Foam only when the attic needs it
Foam costs more because it seals air while it insulates. Sealing the gaps and topping up loose fill usually wins, so I suggest foam mostly when your ductwork runs through the attic.
Eave vents stay open
We keep insulation back from the vents along the eaves, because a buried vent stops the attic from breathing and the moisture shows up later in the framing.
Insulation work we do in Yorba Linda
Attic insulation
We measure the inches already in your attic and bring the whole floor up evenly, keeping the edges as deep as the middle, since thin edges are where heat usually sneaks in.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation, loose fill sent through a hose, settles into corners and around framing that batts skip, which makes it our usual pick for topping up an attic that's partly covered.
Home insulation
When several rooms feel off, we look at the whole house, from the attic and walls to the floors, and start with whichever spot is causing most of the trouble.
Insulation removal
We bag and haul out old material that's been soaked, packed flat or fouled by rodents, so the attic is clean and dry before anything new goes in.
Crawl space insulation
If your floors run cold over a crawl space, we insulate between the floor joists and check for damp first, since insulation that stays wet underneath stops doing its job.
Wall insulation
When one room won't hold temperature, we check its outside walls for cavities that were left empty or have slumped, a common reason one bedroom never matches the rest.
Air sealing services
Around the house we close gaps at outlets, plumbing runs, the wall to the garage and other drafty spots, so the cooled or heated air you pay for stays in the rooms.
Basement insulation
Where a house has a basement or a below-grade room, we insulate the walls and the framing on top of the foundation with materials that handle damp, so the space holds a steady temperature.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam, a dense foam that blocks moisture, goes where damp is part of the problem, because it insulates and holds back water vapor in a single layer.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is softer and lighter, a good fit for interior walls and roof decks where you want air sealed and some sound damped, and it usually costs less than closed-cell.
Commercial insulation
For landlords and small building owners, we insulate rental units, offices and light commercial spaces, and plan the work around tenants so the building keeps running.
Crawl space vapor barrier
We lay heavy plastic sheeting over the crawl space dirt and seal the seams, so ground moisture stays out of the floor framing and the insulation above it.
Vapor barrier installation
Before we insulate a wall, floor or garage ceiling, we check whether a vapor barrier belongs there, because one in the wrong spot can trap moisture inside the framing.
Attic air sealing
Air sealing, closing the gaps before insulating, starts on the attic floor around can lights, pipes, wiring and the hatch, where most of the air leaks upward.
Retrofit insulation
In a finished house, we add insulation without tearing out walls, usually by blowing material into closed cavities through small holes that get patched afterward.

Yorba Linda insulation questions we hear most
Here are straight answers to what Yorba Linda homeowners ask before an insulation job, from permits to old material to whether you need to leave.
Do I need a permit to add attic insulation in Yorba Linda?
The city's permit list doesn't name insulation by itself, so we check with the city before every job instead of guessing. The list does cover HVAC, electrical and renovation work, and the city's list of finish work that skips a permit stops at anything involving drywall, which matters if walls get opened. If a permit is needed, we handle the application and meet the inspector.
Should old attic insulation be removed before new insulation goes in?
If the old insulation is dry and clean, it can usually stay and we add on top of it. If it's been soaked by a roof leak or is full of rodent droppings, it comes out first, because new material laid over it keeps the problem in your attic. I check which kind you have during the estimate visit.
Do we have to leave the house while the attic is insulated?
For blown-in insulation and air sealing, you can usually stay home, because the work happens up in the attic. Spray foam is different. You, the kids and the pets stay out until the re-entry time passes, which is the wait the foam maker sets before anyone comes back in, and we give you that time when we schedule.
