We walk through the areas you want treated - attic, basement rim joist, crawl space, or walls - take measurements, and check for moisture or other issues that should be addressed first. We explain what we find in plain terms and follow up with a written quote within a day or two.
We handle any required permits through the Town of Dedham Building Department. On installation day, we protect your home, complete the work, and walk you through the finished area before we leave. A town inspector signs off on permitted work, and you receive documentation for your records and any rebate applications.
We carry full liability insurance on every project and pull required permits through the Town of Dedham Building Department. You are protected whether a small job or a whole-house upgrade.
We visit your home, assess the work, and provide a written quote at no charge. There is no pressure to commit, and we will walk you through any Mass Save rebates you qualify for before you decide.
We have worked on homes in Dedham and the surrounding suburbs since 2016. We know what is in the older housing stock here - knob-and-tube wiring, settled insulation, Cape-style kneewall spaces - and how to handle it correctly.
If there is ever a problem with our workmanship, we return and make it right at no additional cost. Spray foam that is properly installed holds its performance for the life of the building - we stand behind that.

We had the attic done before last winter and the difference was obvious by December. The upstairs bedroom finally matches the rest of the house temperature-wise, and our heating bill was noticeably lower than the year before. The crew was in and out in one day and left everything clean.
Robert M., Needham, MA - Attic insulation
I called about drafts in the basement and they scheduled the estimate within a few days. They found the rim joist was completely uninsulated and also identified some gaps around the pipes I had not noticed. The spray foam job took about four hours. The basement feels like a different space now.
Patricia H., Westwood, MA - Spray foam insulation
We had ice dams three winters in a row and water got into the ceiling twice. After blown-in insulation and air sealing in the attic, we went through last winter without a single ice dam. The Mass Save rebate covered a good chunk of the cost, and the crew handled all the paperwork.

Heat escaping through a thin attic or uninsulated rim joist is the most common culprit. Once heat gets out, your furnace runs longer to compensate - and the cycle repeats every cold day from October through April. Sealing those gaps first, then adding insulation, gives your heating system a fighting chance.
Open-cell foam is flexible and absorbs sound - ideal for interior walls and attic rafters. Closed-cell foam is rigid and acts as a moisture barrier, making it the right choice for basements, crawl spaces, and any exterior-facing surface in a New England climate. Using the wrong type in the wrong place wastes money.
Insulation slows heat moving through solid surfaces. Air sealing stops heat from escaping through gaps and cracks. Doing insulation without air sealing is like adding a blanket over a drafty window. Air sealing always comes first - it is the step most contractors skip, and skipping it cuts your results in half.
Yes. Ice dams form when heat escaping from your living space warms the roof unevenly. Snow melts in the middle and refreezes at the cold eaves. Dedham's freeze-thaw winters make this a recurring problem for under-insulated homes. Proper attic insulation and air sealing address the root cause.

Whenever moisture is a concern. Fiberglass batts absorb water and lose their insulating value when wet. Closed-cell spray foam bonds to the surface, does not absorb moisture, and creates a barrier against both cold air and ground moisture. For Dedham basements and crawl spaces that have ever felt damp, it is the more durable solution.
Yes, for qualifying homeowners. The Mass Save program, funded by utilities including Eversource, offers rebates and zero-interest financing for insulation upgrades. The first step is a free home energy assessment, which identifies what your home needs and what rebates you qualify for. Choosing a participating contractor means the paperwork is handled for you.

Most heat loss in older homes happens through the attic floor, basement rim joist, and exterior walls - in that order of impact. The attic is where most homeowners see the fastest return from insulation work, because it is usually the easiest to access and the most under-insulated.
Often yes. Rooms above garages, under rooflines, or at the end of a long hallway frequently have thin or missing insulation in the walls or ceiling above them. Cold rooms that never fully warm up are a signal worth investigating before another winter passes.
Older homes can be fully insulated, but the process is different. Contractors experienced with pre-1960 homes know to check for knob-and-tube wiring, assess existing materials, and recommend methods that do not require tearing walls apart. Retrofit blown-in and spray foam both work well in older construction.
The Mass Save program offers free home energy assessments and rebates that can significantly offset your insulation costs. Call us at (781) 410-0716 or request an estimate to get started.
Dedham is one of the oldest towns in Massachusetts, located about 10 miles southwest of downtown Boston off Route 1 and I-95. The town has about 25,000 residents, and the homeownership rate is high - most people here have a long-term stake in keeping their homes in good condition. Dedham is surrounded by Westwood, Norwood, Canton, and Milton, all of which we also serve.
A large share of Dedham homes were built between the 1920s and 1960s. The neighborhoods around Dedham Square and East Dedham tend to have the densest older housing stock - Colonials and Cape Cods on smaller lots with wood clapboard exteriors, full basements, and pitched roofs. These homes were built long before modern energy codes, and many have insulation that has settled or degraded significantly. Areas like Oakdale and Greenlodge have a mix of postwar single-family homes on larger lots, and neighborhoods closer to Legacy Place along Route 1 include more recent construction.
Dedham winters average close to 48 inches of snow and include repeated freeze-thaw cycles from late winter through early spring. The climate here also brings hot, humid summers that push into the upper 80s. Those conditions mean your insulation works hard in both directions all year. Whether your home is steps from Dedham Square or out near the Westwood border, Dedham Insulation knows what to expect and how to get the job done right.
