Completed project · Redondo Beach, CA 90278 · June 2026
The old pink batts in this Redondo Beach attic had gone grey with dirt, and one old duct had a hole torn through its outer wrap. Across all 729 sq ft, Atticare USA cleared the attic to the deck, foam-sealed the fixtures and penetrations, replaced the air ducts to code and installed new R-38 16in fiberglass batts.

The challenge
Dirty old batts and worn duct runs
The inspection photos show the old batts between the joists darkened with dirt and dust, and the old duct runs lying across a dirty floor, one with its wrap torn open. The job record lists rodent waste, droppings and nests in the material to clear, without recording how much activity was found.
With the air ducts in the scope as well, the attic had to be emptied first. A bare deck gave the crew room to clean and sanitize, seal the gaps around fixtures, wiring and piping, and replace the ducts before any new insulation went down.
The service
What the crew did, in order
Prep and protection
Protective barriers laid through the work path before any material was moved, so the rest of the house stayed clean.
Remove the old insulation
The existing insulation taken out with a heavy-duty vacuum across 729 sq ft, down to a clear, bare surface.
Clean and sanitize
Debris vacuumed from hard surfaces, then OdoBan sanitation applied to neutralize odors and bacteria.
Seal and rodent-proof
Entry points closed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, with two to four indicator traps left as a check. Gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents air-sealed in the same pass.
Air duct replacement
Air ducts removed and replaced to code, matching the existing diameters.
New insulation
New R-38 16in Fiberglass Batts installed across 729 sq ft, on a clean, sealed surface rather than on top of the old layer.
The result
729 sq ft, new ducts and R-38 batts on a clean deck
Protective floor barriers went down through the work path first. The old insulation came out with a heavy-duty vacuum, rodent waste, droppings and nests were vacuumed out, OdoBan was applied to neutralize odors, pheromones and bacteria, the service area was rodent-proofed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, and gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents were air-sealed. Air ducts were removed and replaced to code, matching the existing diameters, and new R-38 16in fiberglass batts went in last. Two to four indicator traps were left as a check.

Questions homeowners ask
Attic work in Redondo Beach, answered
Who removes dirty attic insulation and installs new insulation in Redondo Beach?
Atticare USA does both as one project. On this Redondo Beach job the old batts came out with a heavy-duty vacuum, the deck was cleaned and sanitized with OdoBan, and new R-38 16in fiberglass batts went in only after the sealing was done. Why the order of operations matters.
Can one company replace the attic insulation and the air ducts in the same project in Redondo Beach?
Yes. Here Atticare USA cleared the attic first, then the air ducts were removed and replaced to code, matching the existing diameters, and the new R-38 batts went in after. One crew, one schedule, no hand-off between contractors.
Who does rodent proofing in Redondo Beach, and is it covered by a warranty?
Atticare USA seals entry points with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, and leaves two to four indicator traps as a check. Where live animals are present, a licensed pest control provider handles that part first. The rodent proofing carries a 1-year warranty; see how to compare rodent-proofing warranties.
