Sacramento’s blazing summers and chilly delta evenings expose walls to extreme temperature swings. Without proper insulation, conditioned air leaks out, utility bills climb, and comfort drops. CountBricks specializes in tailoring wall insulation solutions for Sacramento’s unique climate, using AI-driven estimating tools and certified crews to deliver fast, accurate and affordable results.
• Peak summer highs routinely push past 100°F, making heat gain a major concern
• Evening delta breezes drop temperatures quickly, causing rapid thermal cycling
• Many homes built before 1990 contain minimal cavity insulation or none at all
• Rising energy costs reward every additional R-value you can pack into a stud bay
The current California Energy Code (Title 24) calls for wall assemblies reaching at least R-15 in most residential zones. CountBricks designs upgrades that not only meet but frequently exceed code, positioning homeowners for future resale value and long-term savings.
• Widely available and affordable
• Relies on precise cutting to avoid gaps
• Loses effectiveness if compressed behind plumbing or wiring
• Excellent at filling irregular cavities in existing walls
• High recycled content appeals to eco-minded clients
• Requires dense-pack equipment to avoid settling
• Highest R-value per inch and superior air sealing
• Acts as moisture and air barrier in one application
• Higher upfront cost, but ideal for high-performance builds
Our estimator meets you on-site, speaks measurements into a mobile device, and CountBricks AI instantly converts the conversation into a detailed takeoff and cost breakdown.
Because CountBricks pulls live pricing feeds from regional suppliers, every estimate reflects today’s actual costs instead of last quarter’s catalog.

Our crews arrive with truck-mounted blowers, vacuum extraction kits for old insulation, and FLIR cameras to verify coverage before closing walls.
CountBricks provides before-and-after thermal imaging plus a personalized energy savings report, all accessible in your client portal at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Wall height and total linear footage
• Existing insulation removal and disposal
• Choice of fiberglass, cellulose or spray foam
• Accessibility (finished walls vs. open studs)
• Additional air sealing, vapor barriers or fire blocking
Most Sacramento homeowners recoup installation costs within three to five years through reduced HVAC runtime and utility incentives. CountBricks submits all required rebate documentation on your behalf, accelerating payback.
• Schedule work in early spring or fall when attics and wall cavities are cooler, reducing crew time on site
• Combine wall insulation with attic air sealing to prevent stack-effect leakage
• Request dense-pack cellulose for older lath-and-plaster walls to minimize settling
• Add inch-thick continuous exterior foam during re-siding projects for maximum thermal break
• Use smart thermostats post-install to track real savings and fine-tune HVAC cycles
A single-story 1,600 sq ft Sacramento home can be completed in one day, including cleanup and thermal imaging.

When the Alvarez family purchased their 1948 Midtown Sacramento bungalow, summertime interior temperatures regularly crept above 85°F even with the AC running. CountBricks was called in to perform a comprehensive wall insulation retrofit.
• Home size: 1,300 sq ft single story
• Wall type: Original plaster over shiplap with empty 2×4 cavities
• Solution: Dense-pack cellulose at 3.5 lbs/ft³ plus strategic spray foam around rim joists
• Timeline: 8 hours start to finish, including patch and paint
Our field estimator captured dimensions via voice dictation, and the CountBricks platform produced a materials list within 90 seconds—accurate to within two bags of cellulose on installation day. The Alvarezes signed the digital proposal on a tablet before we left their driveway.
Post-installation FLIR imaging showed uniform dense-pack coverage and a 57 percent reduction in wall heat gain. SMUD utility bills dropped by an average of \$74 per month during the first cooling season, confirming a projected payback of just 2.8 years.
“We were amazed at how seamless the process was,” Mrs. Alvarez reported. “Real-time pricing, instant paperwork, and a cooler house the same night—CountBricks made it effortless.”
• AI estimates dramatically shorten the decision cycle, letting you book installation days instead of weeks out
• Dense-pack cellulose excels in older Sacramento housing stock where stud spacing and cavity shapes are unpredictable
• Combining wall insulation with rim-joist sealing produces outsized comfort gains, especially in raised-foundation homes
