Insulation Company in West Hills, CA
West Hills homes need insulation that handles both ends of the thermometer: triple-digit summer afternoons and winter nights that dip into the 40s. Most houses here were built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means wood-frame construction, low-pitch roofs, and attics that often hold nothing more than settled, thinning fiberglass batts. We’re Thistledown Insulation, a West Hills insulation company that puts the price in writing before any work starts and backs every job with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (559) 245-9223 any time, day or night, and a live person answers.
Why West Hills Homes Are Different
Drive through West Hills and you’ll see the pattern quickly: single-story ranch homes, stucco or wood siding, and attics that were insulated once, decades ago, to a standard that no longer matches how families actually live. Many original West Hills homes still have their single-pane aluminum windows and uninsulated rim joists. That combination creates cold spots along exterior walls and near the slab foundation, even on mild days. We walk attics here regularly and find fiberglass batts compressed to half their original thickness, gaps around plumbing penetrations, and exterior walls with nothing in them at all.
The climate adds another layer. West Hills sits in the western San Fernando Valley, where summer temperatures routinely pass 100°F and nighttime lows swing into the 40s during winter. That wide daily temperature range means insulation has to slow heat gain in the afternoon and slow heat loss after sunset. Air sealing matters just as much. We seal around recessed lights, attic hatches, and top plates so dust and wildfire smoke have fewer ways into the living space when the valley wind picks up.
Our Main West Hills Services
West Hills homeowners call us about two jobs more than any others. Each has its own dedicated page, because the work, the products, and the pricing are different enough to deserve their own explanation.
Attic Insulation in West Hills
Older West Hills ranch homes often have attics with original fiberglass batts that have settled, shifted, or simply never been enough for a house with a low-pitch roof absorbing sun all day. Our crews remove what’s failing, air-seal the attic floor, and install fresh insulation matched to the home’s structure and the family’s needs. In West Hills, we pay particular attention to the areas around the attic hatch and exterior top plates, where heat moves most freely. For the full walkthrough of what the job involves in West Hills, see our Attic Insulation in West Hills page.
Spray Foam Insulation in West Hills
Some West Hills attics and rim joist areas need more than batts can deliver. Spray foam air-seals and insulates in a single pass, which helps with the dust and smoke intrusion that valley wind can push into older wood-frame construction. It’s also a good match for the low-pitch roofs common here, where a closed-cell foam can strengthen the building envelope while slowing heat movement. We walk you through open-cell and closed-cell options and what each means for your West Hills home before any product is ordered. Details are on our Spray Foam Insulation in West Hills page.

Whatever the job, your written price comes before we start. That’s not an upgrade or a courtesy, it’s how we work.
