Comfort in every season with insulation that performs
A well-insulated home keeps Buffalo winters outside and summer heat under control. Ivy Lea Construction designs and installs complete insulation systems that reduce drafts, even out room temperatures, and lower energy costs. Our approach pairs precise air sealing with the right materials in the right places for lasting results.
Why Insulation Matters
Insulation slows heat transfer through the roof, walls, and floors. When combined with targeted air sealing, it helps your furnace and air conditioner operate more efficiently while improving indoor comfort and air quality.
What you can expect:
- Fewer drafts and warmer floors
- More consistent temperatures on every level
- Lower monthly utility bills
- Reduced risk of attic condensation and ice dams
- Quieter interiors
Insulation Services
You’d be surprised at how many Western New Yorkers needlessly suffer with freezing cold homes in the winter simply because they have drafty older homes and they don’t have high quality insulation. Ivy Lea Construction can remedy that this month and next, before the extremely cold winter temperatures take over the region.
Types of Insulation Materials We Install
Spray foam insulation
Ideal for air sealing complex areas such as rim joists, mechanical chases, and irregular rooflines. It creates a tight seal that limits drafts and moisture movement.
Blown-in cellulose insulation
A reliable choice for attics and open cavities. It fills irregular spaces for consistent coverage and steady performance.
Fiberglass insulation
Batts and rolls remain a cost-effective option in open framing during renovations. Proper fit and air sealing are essential to achieve the intended R-value.
We will compare options, explain what insulation is made of, and design a combination that meets your performance goals and budget.
Signs You Need Better Insulation
-
Upstairs is hot in summer or cold in winter
-
Drafts at baseboards or around outlets
-
Frequent ice dams or attic frost
-
Insulation in the attic sits below joist tops or looks patchy
-
Equipment runs often, but comfort still suffers
Rebates, Financing, and Value
Insulation upgrades often qualify for local or utility incentives. We can help you explore available rebates and pair them with financing options. Many homeowners see lower bills and noticeably better comfort in the first heating season.

FAQs About Insulation
What is insulation?
A material that slows heat flow through building assemblies. It reduces conduction and works best when combined with air sealing that stops moving air.
How much insulation do I need?
In our climate, most attics perform best at R49 to R60. Walls and floors vary by assembly. We measure what you have and recommend the correct target for your home.
Which type is best?
Spray foam insulation excels at air sealing and complex details. Blown-in insulation is excellent for attics and irregular cavities. Fiberglass insulation is effective in open framing when carefully installed. The right choice depends on location, goals, and budget.
Who should install it?
Look for an insulation contractor who treats air sealing, ventilation, and moisture control as part of the same system. Clear scopes and clean workmanship matter as much as the product.
