Barrie winters are long, and a poorly insulated attic lets the heat you pay for escape straight through the roof. Pro Insulation Contracting installs and upgrades attic insulation across Barrie — spray foam, blown-in cellulose and fiberglass, and full insulation removal. Licensed, BBB-accredited, and rated 4.9 stars by Ontario homeowners.
Heat rises. In a Barrie winter that runs from November well into March, every gap in your attic is a place warm air leaves and cold air gets in. If your upstairs is freezing while the main floor is fine, if your gas bill climbs every January, or if you’re seeing ice build up along your roof edge, the attic is almost always the first place to look.
Most older Barrie homes were built to insulation standards far below what’s used today. Ontario’s Building Code now sets a minimum of R-60 for attic insulation in new construction — roughly 22 inches of blown-in material. Plenty of homes across Barrie are sitting at R-20 or less. That gap is exactly what shows up on your heating bill.
WHAT WE OFFER
We will send an experienced insulation expert to your location and provide a detailed assessment.
We first assess whether you are eligible for the rebate. Then we help you apply for it and provide updates for you until you receive it.
We only use branded products that are high-quality and long-lasting. Our team has been serving in the industry for more than 10 years!
You don’t need to leave your home during the work. We don’t use hazardous materials. We assess the attic in person, tell you what it actually needs (not what’s easiest to sell), and handle the job start to finish — including the prep work most contractors skip. We’re BBB-accredited and rated 4.9 stars across 150+ reviews from homeowners in our service area.
Barrie’s position near Lake Simcoe means real winters and real snow load — conditions that punish a weak attic harder than they do further south in the GTA. The city’s housing stock runs from older central and lakeside homes that predate modern insulation standards to newer south-end subdivisions where attic depth was built to the minimum and nothing more. Both have the same weak point: an attic that isn’t pulling its weight.
If you commute south for work, you already know the value of a home that’s warm when you get back. Upgrading your attic is one of the few home improvements that pays you back every single heating season.
Upgrading your attic insulation — the honest pros and cons
Pros
Cons
Yes — Barrie is part of our regular service area. We’re based in Markham and work throughout the region.
The Ontario Building Code minimum for new-construction attics is R-60. Most older homes are well below that. We measure what you have and tell you exactly what it needs.
Only if it’s contaminated by mould, water, or rodents. Otherwise we blow new insulation right over the existing layer — the R-values add together.
No. We don’t use hazardous materials, so you and your family can stay home.
You may qualify for government energy rebates depending on your home and the work done. We’ll help you understand what’s available for your project.
Most residential attics are completed in a day. Removal or extensive air sealing can add time — your estimator will give you a realistic window.
