This page is for homeowners who already have Demilec insulation in their attic or are considering it for a new install and want straight answers about how these products hold up in a coastal climate like ours. If you’re seeing temperature swings between rooms, hearing more street noise than you used to, or your energy bill has crept up without a change in habits, call us at (562) 317-6204. Bryce Holloway and our crew have worked on Demilec attics all over this city, from the older bungalows in Belmont Shore to the tract homes east of Signal Hill.

How Demilec Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Heatlok HFO settling in cathedral cavities. Demilec’s Heatlok HFO is a closed-cell spray foam, but when it’s paired with blown-in insulation in hybrid attic assemblies, the blown-in layer can settle unevenly if the foam underneath wasn’t applied to full depth. We see this often in Long Beach homes where a previous contractor used spray foam on the roofline and then blew fiberglass or cellulose over the flat attic floor. The fix is to map the cavity, remove the underperforming blown-in material, and reapply to the correct R-value for our climate zone.
• Heatlok Soy 200 losing adhesion at the soffit line. The soy-based Heatlok line has a known tendency to shrink slightly over time, especially in attics with poor ventilation. Long Beach’s marine air carries a lot of moisture, and when that hits a shrinking foam seam, you get gaps that let conditioned air escape. Our techs identify the seam, cut back the loose edge, and reintegrate the blown-in insulation so the thermal barrier is continuous again.
• Sealection 500 open-cell absorbing moisture in poorly vented attics. Open-cell Demilec products like Sealection 500 act like a sponge when attic humidity is high for extended periods. In Long Beach, where June gloom keeps the marine layer sitting over us for weeks, we have pulled out open-cell foam that weighed three times its original density. When that happens, the blown-in insulation above it is compromised too. We remove the saturated material, address the ventilation issue, and reinstall.
• Airtight HFO outgassing after a partial reapplication. When a previous contractor patched only part of a failing Demilec application, the new foam can outgas while curing and form a slick skin over the old material. Blown-in insulation doesn’t settle correctly on that surface. We see this in Do-It-Yourself repair attempts and low-bid contractor work. The fix requires removing the affected blown-in layer, preparing the foam surface properly, and re-blowing fresh material at the correct depth.
• Agribalance open-cell losing density from shortcut mixing. Agribalance is one of Demilec’s more sensitive formulations. If the installer rushed the ratio or worked in cold weather without adjusting the hoses, the foam can cure soft and spongy. Blown-in insulation placed over that foundation shifts and compresses within a year or two. We have corrected this in several Long Beach attics where the original work was done in winter without proper equipment calibration.

Our Demilec Blown In Insulation Process

1. 1
   Call and assessment. You call (562) 317-6204 and describe the issue. A live person answers, 24/7. We schedule a visit inside a specific window, not a half-day range.
2. 2
   Attic inspection. Our background-checked, uniformed technician inspects the entire attic, measuring current R-value and identifying which Demilec product is present. We document everything before touching anything.
3. 3
   Written quote. You get a written price before any work starts. The number on that paper is the number on the invoice. No revised bids at the door.
4. 4
   The work. We remove compromised material, address the underlying issue (ventilation, adhesion, moisture), and blow in fresh insulation to the R-value our climate zone requires. If you want to research the materials first, we install Demilec, Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, CertainTeed, Icynene, GreenFiber, and Reflectix.
5. 5
   Verification. We test with a thermal camera to confirm even coverage and no voids, then walk you through the results.
6. 6
   Written guarantee. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we return at no charge. That second visit is free too.

What Demilec Blown In Insulation Costs in Long Beach

Here are the numbers we actually see in Long Beach:

• Blown-in top-up over existing Demilec foam (800 – 1,200 sq ft attic): $1,400 – $2,200
• Full removal of compromised open-cell Demilec and reblow: $2,500 – $3,800
• Hybrid attic correction (foam reapplication plus blown-in layer): $3,000 – $4,500
• Small attic under 600 sq ft, simple reblow: $900 – $1,400

What moves the price: the condition of the existing Demilec, whether we’re removing saturated open-cell material, the size of your attic, and how much of the existing blown-in insulation can be salvaged. Demilec’s closed-cell products typically cost more per square foot than open-cell, but the material you already have affects whether this is a touch-up or a restart. Call (562) 317-6204 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.

Why Long Beach Homeowners Call Alden Insulation Long Beach for Demilec Work

We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, established 2002, and every job is held to The Garrison Standard. That means a written price before work starts, a written guarantee good for 365 days, and a crew that shows up in uniform inside the window we promised. No vague half-day ranges. No “we noticed some additional work” conversations at the invoice.

Bryce Holloway learned the trade through the building construction program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent the better part of two decades running insulation crews across Long Beach, including plenty of work in Belmont Shore where older bungalows and beach cottages tend to have attics that have not been touched since the 1970s. He built this company on a simple idea: give homeowners an honest assessment, quote a fair number, and leave the attic in better shape than you found it. Good insulation doesn’t announce itself – you just stop noticing the cold.

We work with Demilec products as an independent Demilec service provider, not as an authorized dealer. That independence matters. We give you the straight assessment on whether your Demilec problem is worth fixing or whether a different product from our lineup, including Reflectix for specific radiant barrier applications, makes more sense for your situation.
