Insulation contractor services in Torrance, CA
SealPro Torrance Insulation Company is an insulation contractor in Torrance, CA, and we cover 16 kinds of work, from a hot attic to cold floors over a crawl space. Price mostly comes down to the size of the space, what's already up there, whether the old insulation has to come out first and which material you pick. The schedule turns on the same things, plus any leak, damp spot or old wiring we find, because that gets fixed before insulation covers it. I look at the space before I write anything down, so your free estimate fits the house you actually have.
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam goes on wet and expands into every crack, so it insulates and seals air in one pass. It suits rooflines, rim joists and odd spaces where batts won't stay put.
Attic insulation
Hot upstairs, or a power bill that keeps creeping up? We seal the attic floor first, then bring the insulation to an even depth all the way out to the edges, which is where most attics come up short.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is loose fill blown through a hose, so it settles around joists, wires and pipes. It's the usual way we top up an attic that already has some insulation in it.
Home insulation
This is the whole-house look, for homeowners who want to know where the drafts and the heat are actually getting in. We check the attic, walls and crawl space and tell you which one to deal with first.
Insulation removal
Insulation that got soaked, crushed or full of droppings has to come out, because new material on top just buries the problem. We vacuum it out, bag it and leave the attic ready for what goes in next.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors in the living room usually start underneath. We insulate between the floor joists in the crawl space and fasten it so it stays up against the floor.
Wall insulation
Can you insulate walls without tearing them open? Usually, yes, because we drill small holes, fill the cavities and plug the holes so they're ready for paint.
Air sealing services
Air sealing means closing the gaps around pipes, wires, can lights and doors before any insulation goes in. It's the step people skip, and it's why some new insulation never seems to help.
Basement insulation
We insulate basement walls and rim joists for homeowners finishing a basement or tired of a cold room below. Damp walls get looked at first, since insulation won't dry them out.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is dense foam that blocks moisture as well as air. We use it where water is a worry, like a rim joist or a crawl space wall, and where every inch of space counts.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is lighter and softer than closed-cell, and it fills big roofline cavities for less. It also cuts down noise, so it's a common pick for rooflines and interior walls.
Commercial insulation
We insulate offices, shops and rental buildings for building owners and property managers. The order is the same as at a house, sealed first and insulated second, with the work scheduled around your tenants.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A crawl space vapor barrier is heavy plastic laid over the dirt, taped at the seams and run up the walls, so ground moisture stays out of the floor framing. It's for houses with a musty smell or damp under the floor.
Vapor barrier installation
We put up vapor barriers in walls, attics and basements where moisture could reach the framing. Which side it goes on depends on the space, so we decide that on site.
Attic air sealing
Attic air sealing closes the holes in your attic floor around lights, pipes, wiring and the hatch. Do it before new insulation goes in, or the insulation spends its whole life fighting a draft.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation means adding insulation to a house that's already built and lived in. We work through the attic, the crawl space and small holes in the walls, so you don't lose a room to get it done.

Torrance homes and the attics above them
Torrance is a city of neighborhoods and parks. Columbia Park, the biggest, covers 52 acres in central Torrance, Delthorne Park winds along under shade trees with small brooks and bridges, and South Torrance families use the ball field and walking paths at De Portola Park. Out at the Madrona Marsh Preserve, members of the local Audubon chapter lead guided bird walks.
The houses here run from older homes whose attics were last insulated a long time ago to newer ones that mostly need their gaps sealed, and plenty sit over a crawl space where the floors run cold. I started out insulating attics for neighbors in Torrance on weekends, and we're still based here, doing the same work across the city and the cities around it. There's more on how that happened on our about page.

About usFrom your first call to a finished attic
Call or send a request
Call (424) 318-3075 or send the form with a few lines about what's bothering you, whether that's a hot room upstairs, cold floors or a power bill that keeps climbing. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out and take a look.
I look, then write the estimate
I come out myself and look at the attic, walls or crawl space, including how many inches are already up there and what shape they're in. Your free estimate lists what gets fixed first, what gets sealed and what goes in, so you can see where the work goes before you decide.
Our crew does the work
A crew I trained does the install. They seal the gaps around pipes, wires and the hatch before insulation goes in, keep the eave vents clear so the attic can still breathe, and build the depth out to the edges. Then they clean up, so the attic dust stays in the attic.
I check it before we leave
Before we call it finished, I go back up and check the work against the estimate, from the sealed gaps to the depth at the edges. Then I walk you through what we did, so you know what's up there now and what, if anything, can wait for later.

Common questions
How much does it cost to insulate an attic in Torrance?
There's no honest number until I've seen the attic, because a clean attic that needs a top-up costs far less than one where the old insulation has to come out first. Your free estimate breaks the job into what gets fixed, sealed and installed, so you can see what each part costs.
Is it cheaper to add insulation on top of what I already have?
Usually, yes, as long as what's up there is dry and clean, because topping up skips the cost of removal. If it's been soaked or is full of droppings, it has to come out first, since new insulation on top just keeps the problem.
How long does attic insulation take, and do I have to leave the house?
It depends on the attic's size and whether old material comes out first, and for blown-in work you can usually stay home. Spray foam is different, because you're out of the house until the re-entry time, the point when it's safe to come back in, and I'll tell you that before we start.
Does an insulation contractor in California need a license?
Yes, in most cases. The state licensing board says a license is needed when a job needs a building permit, uses workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and a bigger job can't be split up to get under that amount. We're licensed and insured, and Torrance also requires a city business license from any company that physically works in the city.
What should be done before new insulation goes in?
Roof leaks, damp spots and old wiring get fixed first, then the gaps get sealed, and only then does insulation go in. Insulation can't fix what it's covering, so doing it in that order is the difference between a job that works and a problem buried under a fresh layer.
Do you guarantee your insulation work?
Yes, our work is satisfaction guaranteed. I check every job myself before the crew leaves, against the same estimate you agreed to, so you know what went in and where.
Is spray foam better than blown-in insulation for an attic?
Not usually. Foam costs more and seals air while it insulates, but sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in loose fill does the job for most attics for less. The exception is when your ductwork runs through the attic, because then foam on the roofline brings the ducts inside the sealed space, and it's worth the money.
Do I need a permit for insulation work in Torrance?
It depends on the job, and the office that covers your address decides, so we check with them before we start. In Torrance that's the city's Building and Safety Division, and when a permit is needed, we handle the paperwork and the inspections.
