How does Pacific Beach's climate affect this service?
Pacific Beach is dense beach-block multi-family stock with constant salt spray and marine fog. Air-sealing matters more than R-value here, and rental-property turnover drives a steady stream of attic top-ups and crawl space work between tenants.. Coastal blown-in is mostly attic top-ups in Coronado and Imperial Beach housing stock from 1970–1995.
Cellulose or fiberglass, which is better?
Cellulose has higher R per inch, better air-flow resistance, and is recycled paper treated for fire and pests. Fiberglass is non-organic, lighter, and easier in damp climates. In dry, mild San Diego the pro uses cellulose more often unless the attic has past moisture issues.
What is dense-pack?
Dense-pack is cellulose installed at 3.5 lb/cu ft into closed wall cavities through small drilled holes. The high density resists settling, plugs air leaks, and adds R-13 to R-15 to a wall that previously had nothing. The pro patches and texture before paint.
