Homeowners across Birmingham are discovering that fresh insulation is the fastest way to lower utility bills and boost indoor comfort. When attic or wall batts sag, compress or get wet, their R-value plummets—leaving conditioned air to leak right out of your home. CountBricks specializes in insulation replacement Birmingham AL, combining on-site expertise with AI-driven estimating to deliver accurate, same-day quotes you can trust.
• Heating and cooling can account for more than 50 % of a typical Alabama energy bill. Poor insulation forces HVAC systems to work overtime.
• Moist, moldy batts can circulate allergens throughout a home, triggering respiratory issues.
• Deteriorated insulation fails local code requirements, complicating home resale or refinance.
Replacing old batts before peak winter or summer ensures your family feels the benefit right away—without the chaos of emergency repairs.

When the Thompson family bought their 1940s bungalow near Birmingham’s Lakeview District, they loved the charm—but not the $380 summer power bills. A quick attic peek revealed paper-faced batts crushed to half their thickness. CountBricks was called in for a full insulation replacement Birmingham AL solution.

2. On installation day, vacuum extraction cleared 420 lbs of dusty batts. The crew then air-sealed 37 penetrations around can lights and plumbing stacks.
3. High-performance R-38 fiberglass batts were installed without compression, and a low-emissivity radiant barrier stapled to rafters cut attic temperatures by 25 °F.
