Cellulose for Arlington's Homes and Townhomes

Arlington mixes brick colonials in Lyon Village, bungalows near Westover, and stacked townhomes around Ballston and Clarendon. Blown-in cellulose suits this variety because the fibers are installed in place, settle into irregular cavities, and create a continuous, tight mat inside the assembly. Made from recycled content and treated with borate for fire resistance and long-term pest deterrence, cellulose boosts comfort without opening finished rooms or changing exterior details. In a climate that swings from humid Potomac summers to brisk winter snaps off the river, the tighter envelope helps rooms hold temperature and reduces the dust pathways you notice on windy days along Route 50 and I-66.

Dense-Pack Walls and Short Slopes with Minimal Disruption

Older Arlington interiors often hide narrow bays, plaster keys, and tricky corners. We tighten those spaces from the inside by dense-packing through small, strategic access points and restoring surfaces cleanly. Knee walls and short sloped ceilings behind dormers common in bungalows receive a net-and-blow treatment that wraps outlets and pipes for gap-free coverage. If the attic already has dry fiberglass, we can stabilize it with a cellulose overlay to suppress internal air looping and lift total R-value without a tear-out.

Quieter Rooms Near the Flight Path and Corridors

Homes under the Reagan National flight path or along I-395 and the GW Parkway benefit from the sound moderation that dense cellulose provides. The fiber matrix absorbs and damps vibration inside cavities, which lowers the background buzz in bedrooms and home offices. Townhomes with party walls in Clarendon and Courthouse gain a similar advantage, since the same tight fill that resists air movement also helps limit sound transfer through shared assemblies.
