Attic Insulation · Fort Myers, FL
Hurricane Ian showed which Fort Myers attics were already failing.
In SWFL since 2013. 9 service trucks. 20 certified installers. 4.8★ on Google (69 reviews). Free thermal scan with the quote. Lifetime workmanship warranty.
Free thermal scan with every quote. Written price, no living-room sales pitch.
Wet fiberglass. Blown-in displaced after a re-roof. Ducts sitting in a 150°F box. The AC never catches up from May through October.
Lee County is the same IECC Climate Zone 1 as Naples. The difference between the two markets is housing stock and storm damage, not the physics. Ideal Insulation has been working SWFL since 2013 — Latino-owned, family-run — and we run Fort Myers and Cape Coral on the same week as Collier.
Move the insulation line to the underside of the deck and the attic becomes conditioned. The ducts stop cooking. Open-cell is the usual right call for a standard Fort Myers attic. Closed-cell is for when you need the vapor retarder or you are working a tight cavity — not because it is easier to sell. Details on our Fort Myers spray foam page.
Do not cover wet or compacted material. Pull it, bag it, then install. Ian made landfall in Lee County in September 2022, and we are still opening attics where the insulation was never put back right after the roof went on. Insulation removal is its own scope and its own crew day.
Cheaper. Honest. And wrong if the air handler lives in that attic. If the ceiling plane is the real boundary, blown-in fiberglass to R-38 does the job and we will tell you so instead of quoting foam.
Written price from the Lee County property-appraiser record. Free pre-visit before the rig shows up. Most attics are a one-day install. Same crews as Naples — we do not send a different standard north of the county line.
No fake "starting at" price on this page. You get a number for the attic we are actually looking at, and a free thermal scan with the quote.
We also run commercial and agricultural buildings across Lee County, which is a different job from a house attic — different access, different rig time, different scope.
Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Cape Coral, Estero, Lehigh Acres, and Sanibel. Same climate zone and the same crews as Collier County — if that is your side of the line, start with attic insulation in Naples or Naples spray foam.
No. Lee County and Collier County are both IECC Climate Zone 1, and the Florida code floor on a vented attic is R-30 in both. We aim past the floor. What actually differs between the two markets is the housing stock and the storm damage, not the physics.
Yes. Insulation often gets blown around or soaked during a re-roof and never put back right. We check that before we quote foam or blown-in, because covering wet or displaced material with new material hides the problem instead of fixing it.
If the air handler and ducts live in the attic, open-cell foam at the roof deck is usually the right job. If the attic should stay vented and the ceiling plane is the boundary, blown-in to R-38 is cheaper and honest. Closed-cell is for vapor-retarder and tight-cavity situations, not for every attic.
No. We are not in a utility rebate program and we do not process those forms.
Call us or request the thermal scan. You will get a written number and a straight answer about what that attic actually needs.
