What Newport Beach Homeowners Say About Topside Attic Insulation Newport Beach
We’ve insulated and sealed more than 9,000 homes since 2016, and every job closes with a Documented Photo Record and a written warranty. The reviews below come from Newport Beach homeowners who got what we promised: a written price before anyone lifted a tool, blower-door numbers that proved the result, and a crew that showed up when we said they would. No one here was asked to say anything nice. They just described what happened.
Recent Reviews
“We bought a 1962 ranch in the Cliff Haven area with original fiberglass batting that had settled to maybe four inches. Wes walked the attic with me, pointed out every top plate gap and the recessed can lights leaking conditioned air straight into the vented space. His crew air-sealed first - two days of caulking and foam work - then blew in GreenFiber to R-49. The blower-door test started at 3,800 CFM50 and finished at 1,900. Our summer cooling bill dropped from $340 to $210 the first August. The photo record showed every penetration before and after. That’s not marketing. That’s what we paid for.”

“Travis from Topside found rodent damage in our crawl space under Dover Shores that I didn’t know existed. Instead of just quoting insulation, he showed me photos of torn vapor barrier, gnawed joist bays, and entry points where the stucco met the foundation. They cleaned it out, sealed the entries with wire mesh, laid new 6-mil poly, and insulated the rim joists with closed-cell spray foam. The written scope was three pages. The price didn’t change. They finished in four days and left a binder with blower-door readings, humidity logs, and the photo documentation. I’ve used contractors in Newport Beach for twenty years. This was the first time I got a binder.”

“Our 1980s townhome in Newport Heights had spray foam in the attic that was off-gassing something fierce - chemical smell every time the AC kicked on. I got three quotes. Topside was the only one who didn’t try to sell me new foam on top of the old. They removed all of it, which took three days of scraping and HEPA vacuuming, then air-sealed and blew in Owens Corning fiberglass. The written price was $8,400 and the final invoice was $8,400. Wes texted me photos each evening. The smell was gone in forty-eight hours. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, they put the warranty and the scope in my hand before the first tool came out of the truck.”

“I’m an architect. I know what a blower-door test is. When Wes said he’d publish the numbers, I wrote them down myself to check. Pre-work: 4,200 CFM50. Post-air-sealing, pre-insulation: 2,800. Final after blown-in cellulose: 2,600. That’s a 38% reduction in envelope leakage on a 1974 Balboa Peninsula duplex with original construction. His crew found bypasses around the chimney chase and the plumbing stack that three previous energy auditors missed. The documentation included infrared shots showing the thermal bypasses. I specified Topside on two client jobs since then. In Newport Beach, that’s the standard I need.”

“We live in Harbor View Hills, where the afternoon sun hits the roof at about 2 PM and doesn’t let up until six. Wes recommended a radiant barrier on the roof deck plus air sealing and blown-in insulation to R-60, which is above code but makes sense for our exposure. The crew worked in July. They started at 6 AM to beat the heat, finished by 2 PM each day. The radiant barrier dropped our attic temperature from 148 degrees to 102. The blower-door reading improved from 3,400 to 1,750. They sent me a link to the photo record before they left the driveway. I didn’t have to ask.”

“My crawl space in Corona del Mar - technically Newport Beach zip - had standing water after every winter storm. Three companies quoted encapsulation. Topside was the only one who ran a humidity logger for two weeks first, then designed the solution around what the data showed: a sump pit in the low corner, 20-mil reinforced poly up the walls to grade, sealed seams with acoustic sealant, and closed-cell foam on the rim joists. The written price was $11,200. They hit it exactly. The humidity’s held at 48% for eight months now. Wes answered his phone at 8 PM when I had a question about the dehumidifier settings. That’s not a callback window. That’s a live person.”

Why Customers Trust Us
The pattern in these reviews isn’t accidental. It’s the Haven Standard, applied the same way on job 1 as on job 9,000-plus.
We seal first, then insulate. Every time. Blowing insulation over an unsealed attic floor is building a blanket over a sieve, and we don’t do it. The air sealing of top plates, can lights, and penetrations happens before any insulation touches the space. That’s why the blower-door numbers move. That’s why customers in Newport Beach can feel the difference.
Every homeowner gets a written price before work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1, no exceptions. Every job closes with a Documented Photo Record, included, not available on request. On air-sealing work, we publish before-and-after blower-door readings so you can verify the result in a single figure. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we make it right. The promise is in writing before anyone lifts a tool.
Our materials come from Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, CertainTeed, Icynene, Demilec, and GreenFiber. No proprietary lock-in. We specify what the house needs, not what we need to move.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops. No callback windows measured in business days. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. A text when your tech is en route. A named technician, not a rotating subcontractor.
If you’re comparing quotes, bring us any written estimate for a free second opinion. We’ll read it with you line by line.
Call (657) 261-8265 to schedule an assessment. Wes Okafor or a member of our team will walk your attic or crawl space, show you what we find, and leave you with a written price before any work starts.
