Insulation contractor services in Yakima, WA
C&D Yakima Insulation Solutions is an insulation contractor in Yakima. Most of our calls start with a hot upstairs, cold floors or a power bill that keeps climbing. We offer 16 services, from sealing the gaps in an attic to foam in a crawl space, so we can fix the cause instead of covering it. The price mostly turns on how much insulation is already up there, whether old material has to come out first, how easy the space is to reach and which material fits. The schedule turns on those same things, plus any repairs that have to happen before we start. I give you your own figure in a free estimate after I've seen the job.
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam seals air and insulates in one pass. It costs more than loose fill, so we suggest it for places like an attic where ductwork runs.
Attic insulation
Hot upstairs in summer and cold in winter? We check the inches already in your attic, fix what has to come first, then add what it's missing.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is loose fill blown through a hose, so it reaches the tight corners and edges of an attic that rolls miss. We spread it evenly, edges included.
Home insulation
When the whole house feels drafty, we look at all of it, from attic to crawl space, and tell you which part to fix first for the most comfort.
Insulation removal
Old insulation that's soaked or full of droppings keeps the problem in place, so we pull it out and clean up before anything new goes in.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors usually trace back to the crawl space. We insulate the floor from below so the rooms above feel warmer underfoot.
Wall insulation
Building an addition or opening a wall for a remodel? We insulate the open walls before the drywall goes up, with batts or foam to suit the space.
Air sealing services
Drafty rooms often come from gaps, not thin insulation. We find and close the leaks around windows, outlets, pipes and where the house sits on its foundation.
Basement insulation
We insulate basement walls and the rim joist, the wood band sitting on top of the foundation, so the room down there holds its heat.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is dense foam that slows heat and blocks moisture, which suits crawl spaces, rim joists and basement walls where damp is part of the picture.
Open-cell foam insulation
What's open-cell foam for? It's a softer, lighter spray foam that seals air and fills odd-shaped spaces indoors, where moisture isn't a concern.
Commercial insulation
We insulate shops, offices and rental buildings for owners and property managers, and we plan the work around tenants and business hours.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A damp crawl space can wet the insulation above it. We lay heavy plastic sheeting over the dirt so ground moisture stays in the ground.
Vapor barrier installation
A vapor barrier is a sheet that slows moisture moving into walls and ceilings. Placement matters, since the wrong side can trap water inside the wall.
Attic air sealing
Air sealing the attic means closing the gaps around can lights, pipes, wires and the hatch before new insulation goes over them, so it isn't fighting a draft.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation goes into a house that's already finished, so we fill closed walls and floors without tearing them open, patching the small holes we drill.
Why Yakima homeowners hire us for insulation
A lot of insulation that underperforms was put over a problem nobody fixed. Here's how we work so the money you spend ends up as a house that's comfortable to live in.
Problems fixed before insulation goes in
Leaks, damp spots and old wiring come first, because new insulation laid over them can't do its job. If your attic isn't ready yet, I'll tell you plainly and explain what has to happen.
Your questions go to me
I'm the one who comes out, so the person answering your questions has actually been in your attic. Ask as many as you like, and I'll sketch it on the back of the estimate if that helps.
A framer's eye on your house
I framed houses for years before I switched to insulation, so I know what's behind your ceilings, walls and floors before we cut a hole or lift a board.
We stop and tell you straight
When we find something that isn't ours to fix, like a roof leak or old fill that needs testing, we stop and tell you. If you've already spotted one, mention it when you call (509) 517-6081.
How an insulation job runs from your call
Here's what happens after you reach out, from our reply within one business day to the walk-through once the work is done.
You call or send the form
Call (509) 517-6081, send the form or contact us, and tell us what's going on, whether that's a hot upstairs, cold floors over the crawl space or a room over the garage nobody wants to sleep in. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out.
I look and write the estimate
I come out myself and look at the attic, crawl space or walls, including how many inches are already up there and what shape the old material is in. I explain what I see, what has to come first and why, then write up a free estimate with no obligation.
Prep and sealing, then insulation
Our crew handles the prep and sealing first. That can mean pulling out wet or dirty insulation, closing gaps around can lights, pipes and the hatch, and keeping the eave vents open so the attic breathes. The insulation goes in after that, full depth out to the edges, and I'm on site checking the work as it goes.
We go over it together
I go over the finished work with you before we leave, so you can see the depth, the edges and the sealed gaps for yourself. It's a good time to ask anything still on your mind, and our crew cleans up before we pack the truck.

Insulation work close to home in Yakima
Yakima is where we're based, and a lot of the attics and crawl spaces we work in are right here in the city. It's a place people get out and use, from the Yakima Valley Museum in Franklin Park, with its exhibits on the valley's fruit industry, pioneer life and early city life, to Larson Gallery on the Yakima Valley Community College campus, which shows art from around the valley.
Randall Park, south of Nob Hill, has a nature trail and a duck pond, and the Powerhouse Canal Pathway gives you a paved stretch from 40th Ave and River Rd out to McGuinness Park. Coming home from a walk like that to a house that holds its heat is the part we can help with, here in Yakima and in the cities nearby.

Questions about insulation in Yakima
How much does attic insulation cost in Yakima?
The cost depends mostly on how much insulation is already up there, how big the attic is and whether old material has to come out first. Sealing gaps around lights, pipes and the hatch adds to it, but it's what lets the new insulation work. I come out, measure and give you your own figure in a free estimate.
Is spray foam insulation worth the extra cost in an attic?
Usually not, because sealing the gaps and topping up blown-in fill gives most attics what they need for less money. Foam costs more but seals air while it insulates, so it's worth it when your ductwork runs through the attic.
How long does insulating an attic take, and do we have to leave the house?
It depends on the size of the space, whether old material comes out first and how much sealing it needs, and I'll talk you through the timing when I come out. With blown-in fill you usually don't need to leave. Spray foam is different, because the foam maker sets a re-entry time, how long before you, the kids and the pets can come back inside, and we tell you that time before we spray.
Do insulation contractors in Washington need to be licensed?
Yes, Washington requires every construction contractor to register with the state Department of Labor & Industries and to be bonded and insured. The state's liability minimum is $200,000 public liability and $50,000 property damage, or a $250,000 combined single limit, and businesses working inside Yakima city limits need a city business license too. We're licensed and insured.
Can you put new insulation over the old insulation in my attic?
Often yes, if the old insulation is dry, clean and lying flat, because it still slows heat and there's no reason to pay to haul it out. If it's been soaked, is full of droppings or might be old fill that needs testing, we stop and tell you, since the problem would just stay under the new layer.
Do you guarantee your insulation work?
Yes. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job. If something about the finished work bothers you, tell me while I'm going over it with you, because I'd rather hear it then.
What's the difference between closed-cell and open-cell spray foam?
Closed-cell foam is dense and blocks moisture, so it suits crawl spaces, rim joists and basement walls, while open-cell is softer and lighter and seals air in dry spaces indoors. Closed-cell usually costs more. I'll tell you which one your space calls for, or whether loose fill would do the job.
Do I need a permit for insulation work in Yakima?
It depends on the job, so we check rather than guess. The City of Yakima's Code Administration Division issues building permits, and its list of permits that skip plan review names work like reroofing and re-siding, not insulation, so that list doesn't settle it. If your job needs a permit, we take care of the application with the city or county office that covers your address, and if we're not sure yet, we tell you and find out.
