GreenFiber Home Energy Audit in Cedar Park: What to Know First
We provide independent GreenFiber home energy audit in Cedar Park, typically completed same-day with written results delivered before we leave. Most audits run between $280 and $450 depending on square footage and whether duct leakage testing is included. We do not start any work without a written price, and we do not ask you to call for a quote just to learn whether we’re in your budget.
This page is for GreenFiber owners in Cedar Park, Leander, and the Buttercup Creek area whose attics run hot, whose energy bills have climbed, or who were told they need more insulation without anyone checking whether the air sealing was done first. If that’s your situation, call (737) 245-6428. We’ll read your existing audit or estimate with you, free of charge, and tell you what we actually find.
How GreenFiber Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Low-Settle Cellulose (LSC) compression in older Cedar Park builds. The LSC line was common in 2012-2018 installations across Cedar Park’s Ranch at Deer Creek and Cypress Creek phases. Over time, the cellulose compacts to 60-70% of its original depth where attic boards or storage platforms were laid on top, creating thermal bypasses that read bright red on our FLIR cameras. We remove the compressed material, air-seal the deck, then reinstall to full labeled depth with fresh GreenFiber or an equivalent blown cellulose.
- Sanctuary loose-fill bridging over top plates. GreenFiber’s Sanctuary line, popular in Leander ISD new builds from 2015-2020, is prone to bridging - a gap where insulation pulls away from the wall top plate as it dries, leaving a 1-2 inch thermal leak along every exterior wall. In Cedar Park’s clay-heavy soils, foundation settlement exaggerates this. We pull back the affected areas, seal the plate with acoustical sealant and rigid foam, then re-blow to proper density.
- All Borate-treated batts losing pest resistance in humid crawl spaces. GreenFiber’s borate fire and pest treatment leaches in sustained humidity above 70% RH. Cedar Park’s spring and fall shoulder seasons push crawl spaces into that range for weeks at a time. We find the borate-depleted batts sagging and compressed. Our fix: encapsulate the crawl first, then replace with fresh material - never the reverse order.
- INS515 radiant barrier staple failures. The INS515 staple-up radiant barrier line, installed in several Buttercup Creek homes we audited in 2022-2023, shows staple tear-through at rates we don’t see with competing perforated products. The foil droops, creating an air gap that actually increases convective heat transfer. We remove the failed barrier, seal the deck penetrations the staples created, and install a proper radiant barrier if the roof geometry warrants it.
- Recycled-content density inconsistency in retrofit jobs. GreenFiber’s high recycled content (up to 85%) means occasional density variation bag-to-bag. In the field, this reads as uneven thermal performance on our blower-door-directed infrared. We identify the thin spots, add targeted dense-pack to the deficient areas, and document the corrected R-value on your final report.
Our GreenFiber Home Energy Audit Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers (737) 245-6428, 24 hours a day. We ask square footage, year built, last energy audit date if any, and whether you’ve noticed hot rooms, high bills, or both. You get a 2-hour arrival window and a text when your technician is en route.
- 2
Pre-install blower-door test. We pressurize the house to 50 Pascals and measure CFM50 - the cubic feet per minute of air leakage at standard test pressure. This number goes on your report. No guesswork about how tight the envelope is before we touch anything.
- 3
GreenFiber-specific inspection. We identify the product line, check depth and density against manufacturer specs, and thermal-scan for the failure modes above. If we find compressed LSC or Sanctuary bridging, we photograph it and show you on the tablet before we write the scope.
- 4
Written price and scope. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. No “call the office for pricing.” No verbal ballpark that shifts once we’re in the attic.
- 5
Air sealing first, then insulation. Seal the leaks first. Then insulate. The order matters more than the product. We seal top plates, can lights, penetrations, and duct boots. Then we add or replace GreenFiber or equivalent material to labeled depth.
- 6
Post-work blower-door and documentation. We run the blower door again and hand you the before-and-after numbers. Your Documented Photo Record and written report with ACH50 figures are delivered by email before the crew leaves.
What GreenFiber Home Energy Audit Costs in Cedar Park
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Basic home energy audit (blower door + thermal imaging) | $280 - $350 | Home size, number of HVAC zones, attic accessibility |
| Audit with duct leakage testing | $380 - $450 | Duct system complexity, number of returns to isolate |
| GreenFiber-specific failure remediation (compression, bridging, etc.) | $180 - $340 per affected area | Square footage, whether removal and reinstallation is required |
| Full attic air seal + GreenFiber top-off to current depth | $2,800 - $4,200 | Attic square footage, current R-value, extent of air sealing needed |
Homes in Cedar Park’s older sections - the pre-2005 builds near Old Town - tend to need more extensive top-plate sealing, which pushes toward the higher end. Newer construction with existing GreenFiber often just needs the bridging correction and density top-off. Every estimate is free, and we offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.
Why Cedar Park Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation Cedar Park for GreenFiber Work

We’ve sealed and insulated over 9,000 homes since 2016, every one with a written price before work started and a documented record when the crew left. In Cedar Park specifically, we’ve run audits and retrofits across Buttercup Creek, Ranch at Deer Creek, and the Cypress Creek corridor - attics that routinely hit 140°F in July before we touch them.
Wes Okafor, our owner, learned blower-door discipline at Olive-Harvey College’s building science program before most Texas crews had heard the term. He brought that standard to Central Texas: pre-install infiltration test, written report with actual ACH50 numbers, no exceptions. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. We also service Reflectix products, so if your audit reveals a multi-brand attic, we don’t punt.
Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s Haven Standard, and it’s in writing before we start.
FAQs
No. GreenFiber’s warranty covers product defect, not installation or subsequent service by independent contractors. As an independent GreenFiber service provider, we document our work so any future product claim remains supportable. We use GreenFiber-compatible materials and methods, and we note manufacturer lot numbers when visible. If you have a specific concern, bring your original paperwork to the estimate and we’ll read it with you.
GreenFiber has consolidated several legacy lines into current SKUs, but blown cellulose is fundamentally compatible across production years. We match density and R-value per square foot, not bag color. For the INS515 radiant barrier, we stock equivalent perforated products from Owens Corning and Johns Manville if exact replacement isn’t available. We never lock you into a proprietary product.
Repair is usually cheaper if the material is less than 10 years old, hasn’t been wet, and the failure is localized compression or bridging. Replacement makes sense when the cellulose has been rodent-contaminated, saturated from a roof leak, or chemically depleted from sustained high humidity. During your free estimate, we test a sample for density and moisture content, then tell you which route costs less over the 15-year life of the installation.
Same-day scheduling is available most weekdays, and we hold next-day slots for calls received before 6 PM. The audit itself takes 2.5 to 4 hours depending on home size. Your written report with blower-door numbers and thermal images is delivered before we leave. Call (737) 245-6428 to check today’s availability - estimates are always free.
Close all windows and exterior doors at least 4 hours before the blower-door test. Turn off atmospheric combustion appliances (gas fireplaces, water heaters with pilot lights) if accessible - we’ll verify this on arrival. Gather any prior energy audit reports or insulation receipts; they speed our diagnosis. We handle the rest, including the pre-test safety walkthrough.
Ready to see what your GreenFiber installation is actually doing? Call (737) 245-6428 for a free estimate. A live person will answer, we’ll give you a written price before any work starts, and you’ll walk away with documented numbers that tell the real story.
