Attic in Camp Pendleton, CA.
Attic for Camp Pendleton homes, done by a vetted local insulation crew. Most San Diego attics top out at R-19 or less. California Title 24 wants R-30 minimum on a re-roof and R-38 to R-60 on new and remodeled work.
Why is attic different in North Coastal San Diego?
North Coastal homes in Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Oceanside span older beach stock to new HOA builds. Older homes need a full top-up to R-49 plus air-sealing; newer ones are usually code-compliant and may only need spot work.

- Inspect existing attic insulation depth and condition
- Calculate target R-value per Title 24 climate zone (most of SD is CZ7 or CZ10)

- Blow in loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass to marked depth
- Install batt insulation in tight rafter bays where blown-in is impractical

If we're already in there, the pro usually recommends R-49 or R-60, the marginal cost is small and the comfort difference is real. We'll mark the target depth on the rafters before blowing.
