Holds the dust back: Carrying dirty insulation through the house spreads dust and allergens into clean rooms, so our outside-staged system keeps the mess out of your living space.
Professional Insulation Removal in Fort Collins, CO
Let Our Insulation Experts Show You The Many Benefits Of Our High Performance Insulation.
Up in Northern Colorado, thin high-altitude air, powerful UV, and dramatic day-to-night temperature swings keep attic insulation under constant strain. Once it settles, dries out, or collects pest debris, your home gets tougher to heat and cool. Professional insulation removal clears the spent material so your attic can begin fresh, clean, and genuinely efficient again.

Time to Pull Your Old Insulation?
Between Fort Collins winters, high-country sun, and bone-dry air, attic insulation eventually stops keeping up, and these signs usually mean removal is due:
Drafty rooms and rising heating bills as compressed or thin insulation lets warm air escape through the attic
Snowmelt and ice dams along the eaves that leave insulation damp, matted, or moldy
Mice and squirrels, frequent visitors in Northern Colorado attics, leaving droppings and shredded nesting
Additions or remodels that open up ceilings or attic space during a project
Wiring upgrades or knob-and-tube work in older homes that require the attic to be cleared
Stale odors or allergy symptoms that hint at aging, dust-laden material overdue for removal
A Superior
Warmer Winters, Cooler Summers
A clean removal depends on the right equipment more than anything else. We stage our vacuum system outside the home and pull the old insulation directly into a sealed container, so airborne dust and fibers stay out of your rooms. In Northern Colorado's dry, dusty air, that contained method keeps your indoor air clean while the attic is cleared.
These capabilities define the insulation type:
Equipment suited to the task: Depending on what we find, a complete removal may need heavy-duty vacuums, protective gear, and treatment products to handle dusty or contaminated insulation the right way.
Cuts down on health risks: Disturbed insulation can send fine particles into the air, which is exactly why containment and protective equipment are part of every removal we do.
Northern Colorado's Easy 5-Step
Insulation Removal Process
Free Attic & Energy Assessment
Our Koala Insulation efficiency experts study how your home keeps heat through frigid nights and stays comfortable under Colorado's strong summer sun.
- Attic & Home EvaluationEach project opens with a detailed walk-through of the attic and the rooms below. We identify the insulation type and depth, hunt for moisture, ice-dam damage, and signs of mice or squirrels, and record ventilation, air-sealing chances, and access points so the removal is planned to stay clean and safe throughout.
Koala Difference: We look well past the surface to trace the air leaks, dryness, and ventilation gaps driving Northern Colorado’s wide day-to-night comfort swings.
- Site Prep & SealingNext we ready the work area, protecting access points and rolling out coverings from the attic hatch to our truck. Where it helps, we put up barriers and run negative-air equipment so dust and debris stay sealed inside the work zone instead of drifting into your finished living areas.
Koala Difference: Thorough prep means the spent insulation leaves cleanly and your home is not left dusty when the job wraps.
- Spent Insulation ExtractionOur crew extracts the aging insulation with professional vacuum equipment, moving methodically across the attic and into the eaves, corners, and hard-to-reach pockets. Settled, dry, or contaminated material is drawn straight into a sealed collection unit outside, so none of it lingers behind once we finish.
Koala Difference: Heavy-duty vacuums and a disciplined process trap the dust and safeguard your comfort throughout the removal.
- HEPA Detailing & Care
Once the bulk is gone, HEPA-filtered vacuums pass over the attic floor and framing to capture the fine dust and fragments heavier machines leave behind. If we encountered pests, droppings, or moisture, we can add a disinfectant or antimicrobial treatment and a deodorizing pass to freshen the whole space.
Koala Difference: Careful HEPA detailing and targeted treatment leave you an attic that is truly clean, not merely emptied.
- Haul-Off & Environmental Compliance
From there, the old insulation is bagged, loaded, and driven off-site for disposal that meets Larimer and Weld Counties and Colorado environmental rules. Your property is left tidy, and the waste is handled properly instead of ending up in your own bins.
Koala Difference: We fold haul-away into the job itself, which means disposal is never left for you to arrange.

Working with Justin, Josh and the install crew was fantastic start to finish on my attic insulation. They were able to work with me on scheduling, assisted with Atmos rebate options and the crew was prompt, courteous and cleaned everything up! Don't hesitate, just call Koala, they'll take care of you.

We used Koala to update our attic insulation. Josh and his team were very helpful, kind and professional. Reasonably priced and able to complete our project in a timely and efficient manner. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Koala for any insulation related needs.

This review is long overdue, and I find it oddly suspicious that this company has a perfect 5 star rating with 223 reviews. These guys came through and did insulation work on my house several months back. Honestly they did a decent job overall and the guy in charge was pleasant and I wanted to like this company, but they left a couple bathroom vent pipes in the attic uninsulated (one of them detached from the roof) and they had to come back and redo it. There were a couple other issues too, but that’s not even the part that upset me the most…it’s the fact they used a few of my tools without asking me. How do I know? There was drywall dust on them. Look I’m a nice guy most of the time, but the moment you use my tools without asking, you’re done. Absolutely unacceptable. Trust these guys at your own risk. Lock your stuff up.

Thank you Koala for rebuilding our attic back to working conditions. Great work, removing the old insulation, fixing up what needed repair, blowing in new modern 'better insulating' materials, All in one day!! Impressive. Very organized flow, protected grounds, and clean work guys. Friendly crew. Good job!!

Justin and Koala did a great job sealing and insulating our home. From our first call to the project being completed was less than a week. Our home feels so much cooler.

I was extremely satisfied with the entire process from start to finish. Starting with Justin who explained.every detail of there scope of work. Justin climbed into the attic above entire house and garage and provided me with everything that was good and what was needed. I decided on what was my priority. Justin then broke down each area of work, priced them out separately. His team showed up ready to work, they did a fantastic job. The thing that impressed me the most is they made sure all areas were cleaned to my satisfaction. If you need any insulation work I highly recommend this team.

We have been so pleased that we chose Koala to remove the old insulation and install new R50 cellulose in our 1988 built home. The consistent temperature throughout our house is such an improvement I don't have to find my house slippers in the morning anymore and can't wait to see how much we'll be saving on our gas bills. From Josh answering all our many questions to Uzeil and the crew that worked in very snowy weather to complete the project, we appreciate the great service provided. Even the owner followed up to make sure we were happy with the job. Nowadays it seems harder to find companies that are so proficient in all phases of a job and for that first-class customer service we highly recommend NoCo Koala.

I had a great experience working with Josh and the crew at Koala Insulation. They were professional, knowledgeable, fast, and genuinely fun to work with.
I had a very urgent sound issue at my small business, and they stepped in quickly to help me find a solution.
As a small business owner, responsiveness and quality matter and they absolutely delivered. I would highly recommend Josh and his team to anyone needing insulation work done right.

We had a fantastic experience with Koala Insulation. They are an Atmos Gas-approved contractor, which made it easy to secure a ,000 weatherization rebate. This was a huge help in stretching my elderly parents' budget. The home was built in 2005 and only had an insulation rating of R-12; after their service, it’s now at R-50. The process was smooth, professional, and highly effective. I highly recommend them

Koala Insulation did a fantastic job upgrading the insulation in our attic and other parts of the house. They identified key areas for improvement, and the project plan earned praise from our home energy advisor. When it was discovered on the day the work was to take place that an issue with construction of our house prevented the project from happening as originally planned (and bid), Koala worked to troubleshoot the issue and provided us with a compromise solution that was fairly priced and still allowed for maximum insulation benefit under the circumstances. The Koala team who did the work were friendly, professional, and great to have around. They finished the job quickly and cleaned up completely afterward. We’re looking forward to greater comfort and energy savings this winter!

These guys were fantastic. I knew the insulation in my attic was low (around 6–10 inches), so they came out, assessed the situation, and provided a quick, clear estimate. I considered doing it myself, but for just a bit more money (and a lot less time and hassle) it made so much more sense to have them handle it. I'm glad I did. The upstairs temperature has dropped by about 5°+ on 90° days, and now it's roughly the same as downstairs which is huge for my A/C unit and electric bill.

My experience with Koala of NoCo was absolutely great. Very professional, kept to their schedule, and more importantly to MY schedule which was constantly, unfortunately, affecting theirs! My job was a 2600sf out-building with spray-foam walls and blow-in ceiling insulation. They did a fantastic job. Justin was super-helpful with explaining the process and went into detail when I asked questions about it. I'm an engineer and so details are my thing. He was awesome, same with the entire crew And, just for reference, right now on July 4 2025, my house has no A/C due to a failed blower motor in my HVAC system. Today, my house was 78 degrees at 2pm with outside temp being 89. In the out-building, the thermostat showed 77. So, yeah, their work is for real. I would highly recommend them for any insulation work.

Justin and his team did a great job! They gave me an estimate within minutes and had the project scheduled to be completed a few days later. Our AC still needs some work but our home is already significantly cooler! My family and I thank you for the hard work and prompt service.

100% professional and top quality! I’m terrible with names but one of the crews name was Jason and the other was Sergio, I think. my apologies in advance for forgetting. Those guys were amazing! Super professional, answered all my questions and were incredibly respectful of our home and their impact on it. Top notch and they left everything better than how they found it. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys!

We had a great experience with Justin and the Koala staff. They offered a competitive quote, communicated clearly throughout the process, showed up when they said they would, did the job effectively with friendly staff and cleaned up after themselves. What more could you want from a subcontractor? Happy to recommend.

Josh showed up on time to give me an estimate and took the time to explain to me what could be done to better insulate my home without upselling me or pressuring me into buying more than I what I felt comfortable spending. Some of our bedrooms are very cold in the winter and in the summer the house is hot and the AC runs almost all day every day. We knew that wasn’t right so decided we should have someone check our insulation. Our home was built in 2002 so codes have changed AND Colorado has gotten hotter.
The actual team arrived promptly at 9am on the scheduled date and immediately got to work. They air sealed and added insulation within 3 hours in my large attic, bringing it up to code. They were professional and polite, laid down plastic and drop cloths around the attic access, and cleaned up everything and vacuumed before they left. My toddlers were very curious and the team were friendly and accommodating to them, too!
I got 4 different bids for this job and I’m happy I decided on Koala. I felt the value was fair and I’m so excited to have a better insulated home for this upcoming summer!
My husband and I are both Veterans so we also appreciated the veterans/military discount on the services too. I already recommended them to our neighbor with the same house build.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable vendor, local business owner, fair prices and quality work then Koala Insulation of Northern Colorado should be your choice. At the end of the day what I wanted was a noticeable difference to the interior comfort of the home, we made a significant investment (inspection, foam and blown-in services) and we have noticed the improvement. Your team was responsive, knowledgeable, professional and courteous.

Updating my review because I had Koala out to insulate a shed recently. They did a fantastic job with the spray foam. They left the area surprisingly clean.
Before and after photos for a night a day difference! Had them blow in insulation to bring the attic from R-18ish to R-60. Can't wait to see the difference in bills! Scott and Justin were great to work with, they got me the estimate quickly and then got me scheduled within a few days. Professional, clean and on time! I'll definitely recommend Koala to anyone who needs insulation!

First off, there was absolutely no sales pressure. The installation team's punctuality and their attention to explaining both the procedure and the product was first class. Their teamwork and attention to cleanliness was very commendable. I highly highly recommend Koala. Definitely, a company of excellence and Integrity.

We cannot recommend this company highly enough! Justin and Scott were always exceptionally responsive, even when I texted on a weekend, not anticipating a response until the next business day. The team that came and performed the work was outstanding - professional, efficient, friendly and loved on our dogs. When Scott came to give us a quote, he had said that as soon as they left our house once the work was done (they sealed the attic, removed old insulation, filled with new insulation to code, and installed a solar fan), we'd notice a difference temperature wise. Honestly, I find it unreal, but he wasn't wrong. For example today it is 87 degrees outside, but 70 degrees in our house. We no longer need to use the AC, which is just incredible. Worth every penny - and we felt even before the work was done that the price was fair. Justin goes above and beyond, there is zero doubt about that. While we weren't able to get an XCEL rebate with this company, read the reviews for the other local companies you would receive a rebate with. Knowing this in advance, we made the decision to stick with Koala of NoCo because even without the rebate, there is no doubt in my mind we made out ahead. I would give them 20 stars if I could. If only I could say the same about the local company who installed our five indoor mini-split units prior to this attic job...

Remove the existing insulation or add more above it, which is right?
If the insulation up there is dry, clean, and undamaged, adding more over it is often a smart, economical way to reach the R-60 level recommended for Northern Colorado. Removal is the better move when material is matted, moldy, rodent-contaminated, or damaged by ice-dam moisture, because covering compromised insulation only seals the problem in. A quick assessment points you to the right choice.
Why does insulation seem to wear out faster at our altitude?
Northern Colorado is tough on attics. Intense high-altitude UV, extremely dry air, and big day-to-night temperature swings all speed up how quickly insulation settles and breaks down, while winter snowmelt can add moisture on top of that. As the material thins and compresses, it loses R-value and lets comfort slip. Clearing it out and starting fresh restores a consistent, efficient barrier overhead.
How long will an insulation removal usually take?
Most home attic removals are finished in a single day, but the real timeline hinges on how large the attic is, how much material has to come out, and whether contamination means extra cleaning or treatment. Once we complete a free on-site assessment, you get a realistic schedule together with your quote, so you know exactly what to plan for.
