Hot rooms and drafty floors
If upstairs runs hot all summer or the room over the garage stays cold, we look at how many inches are in the attic and where outside air is getting in.

Two reasons people call us about insulation
Most calls come from homeowners with a room that won't stay comfortable, and some come from owners of shops and buildings that need to hold their temperature.
A shop that holds its temperature
Shops, garages and small commercial buildings gain and lose heat fast, so we insulate the walls and ceilings and seal the openings to keep the space workable all year.
Discuss your projectHow we handle an insulation job
The person at the estimate runs the job
I'm the one who comes out, looks at your house and writes the estimate, and I answer for the work afterward, so what you hear at the estimate is what gets done.
Leaks sealed before insulation goes in
We do the air sealing first, closing the gaps around can lights, pipes and the attic hatch, because insulation laid over a draft keeps fighting it and you'd be paying to bury a problem.
We stop for wiring, leaks or asbestos
If we find old wiring, a roof leak or insulation that might hold asbestos, I tell you plainly and we stop until it's handled, so nothing unsafe ends up covered over.
Insulation contractor services in Hesperia, CA
R&S Hesperia Insulation Company is an insulation contractor in Hesperia, CA, with 16 services for attics, walls, crawl spaces, basements and commercial buildings. Most jobs come down to cooler rooms upstairs, warmer floors and a house that stops leaking air. The price mostly turns on the size of the space, how many inches are already there, whether old insulation has to come out and which material fits, since foam costs more than blown-in. The schedule depends on how much sealing and prep comes first, and spray foam adds a wait before you can go back inside. I look at the space myself and put your figure on paper at the estimate.
Spray foam insulation
Foam sprayed into walls, rooflines or rim joists that insulates and seals air in one pass. It costs more than loose fill, so we suggest it where gaps are hard to reach or ducts run overhead.
Attic insulation
For a hot upstairs and a climbing summer power bill, we measure the inches already up there, seal the gaps and bring coverage up evenly, right out to the edges where it's usually thinnest.
Blown-in insulation
Loose fill blown through a hose across your attic floor or into closed wall cavities. We keep it off the vents along the roof edge so the attic can still breathe and the framing stays dry.
Home insulation
A look at the whole house, attic, walls and floors, to find where the heat gets in, which fix helps most first and what can safely wait for another year.
Insulation removal
We vacuum out old insulation that got soaked, packed down or filled with rodent droppings, because new material laid on top keeps the smell and the problem right there in your attic.
Crawl space insulation
Insulation under the floor for rooms with cold floors in winter. We check the crawl space for moisture and open gaps first, since damp ground under the house can undo the work.
Wall insulation
Exterior walls that feel cold or let noise through get their cavities filled, either while they're open during a remodel or through small holes in finished walls that get patched afterward.
Air sealing services
Closing the gaps around pipes, wires, can lights and the attic hatch before any insulation goes in, so drafts stop moving through the house and the insulation can do its job.
Basement insulation
Insulation for basement walls and rim joists, the band of framing that sits on the foundation, where cold air often slips in. We pick a material that can handle the moisture down there.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is a dense spray foam that also blocks moisture, so it suits rim joists, crawl spaces, metal buildings and spots where condensation shows up. It's the pricier foam, and we'll say when you don't need it.
Open-cell foam insulation
A softer, lighter spray foam that seals air and fills odd-shaped cavities, often under the roof deck when ductwork runs through the attic. It costs less than closed-cell but doesn't block moisture.
Commercial insulation
Shops, warehouses and offices that need to hold their temperature get insulated walls, ceilings and metal panels, with the work planned around your hours so the business keeps running.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A heavy plastic sheet laid over the dirt in your crawl space and sealed at the seams, which keeps ground moisture from rising into the floor framing and the insulation above it.
Vapor barrier installation
A moisture barrier in walls, ceilings or floors where the job calls for one. We work out where it belongs before it goes up, because a barrier in the wrong spot can trap water.
Attic air sealing
Before we add insulation upstairs, we seal around can lights, plumbing vents, wiring holes and the hatch, because that's where house air leaks into the attic and carries heat with it.
Retrofit insulation
Older houses built with little insulation can get it added to finished attics, walls and floors without tearing the place apart, starting with whatever helps the most.
Who you're hiring for your insulation job
I learned insulation from my dad, working his jobs since I was a kid, and I started R&S Hesperia Insulation Company in Hesperia in 2013. We're licensed and fully insured, and our own crew does every install.
Doing the job in the right order matters more to us than doing it fast, and we'd rather tell you what can wait than sell you work you don't need yet. You can read more about R&S and our crew.
A straight answer on materials
You hear which material fits your house, foam or blown-in, even when the cheaper one is the right choice for how your attic and ductwork are laid out.
Permits and inspections handled for you
When your job calls for a permit, we handle the paperwork with the city or county office and set up the inspections, so you're not running between offices.
Satisfaction guaranteed on every job
That's our promise, and I check our crew's work myself before we leave, so the job you see when we pack up is one I've looked over.

Common questions about insulating your house
Here's what people ask most when they call about attic, foam and crawl space insulation, with the answers I'd give you on site.
How much does insulation cost for a house in Hesperia?
It depends on your house, so your figure comes from the estimate after I've seen the space. Beyond size, the price climbs when old insulation is wet or full of droppings and has to come out, when the attic is tight to work in, or when foam fits better than blown-in. You can request an estimate any day.
How long will your crew be working in my attic?
I'll tell you at the estimate, because it turns on what I find up there. Topping up a clean, sealed attic goes quickest, and removal or heavy sealing adds time. Inside Hesperia, the city allows construction from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with none on Sundays or federal holidays, so we schedule within those hours.
Do we have to leave the house during spray foam insulation?
Usually yes, and the kids and pets go with you. The foam maker's instructions set the re-entry time, the hours before you can come back inside, and we give you that number before we start. With blown-in, most families stay home and just keep clear of the attic hatch while we work.
Do I need a permit to add insulation in Hesperia?
Ask the city before work starts, because its permit list names work like new HVAC units, re-roofing over 25% and room additions, and doesn't settle it for insulation. The Building & Safety Division issues building permits, and any permit has to be issued before the work begins. If your job needs one, we take care of it.
Does an insulation contractor need a license in California?
Usually, yes. The Contractors State License Board's exemption for unlicensed minor work stops at $1,000, and it only covers work that needs no permit, done by someone with no one working for them. A bigger job, one that needs a permit or one with a crew calls for a licensed contractor, so it's worth asking before you hire anyone.
Is spray foam better than blown-in insulation for my attic?
Not usually. For most attics, sealing the gaps and topping up blown-in gives you more for the money. Foam costs more because it seals air while it insulates, so it's the right call when your ductwork runs through the attic or the space is too tight to seal any other way.
Do you do insulation work outside Hesperia?
Yes. We're based in Hesperia and work in Victorville, Apple Valley, Oak Hills, Spring Valley Lake, Phelan, Adelanto, Piñon Hills, Lucerne Valley and Wrightwood, along with other cities around them. Rules can differ by address, so we check with the office that covers yours before work starts.
