About our Montebello insulation company
Reliable Montebello Insulation Services is an insulation contractor in Montebello, CA. I learned this work by hand before I ever opened a business of my own. We look at your attic, walls or crawl space first, tell you straight what we see and do the job in the right order.
How I went from hauling hose to running the job
I started out as a helper on a small insulation crew. I hauled hose and crawled attics for a long time before I ran a job of my own, and that's how I learned this trade, from the bottom up.
In 2023 I opened Reliable Montebello Insulation Services here in Montebello. Most calls come from homeowners with a hot upstairs, a drafty room over the garage or a power bill that keeps climbing. We hear from some landlords, property managers and business owners too.
What I care about most is doing the work in the right order. A roof leak or an open gap gets dealt with before new insulation goes over it, because burying it just hides the problem. I'd rather tell you a job isn't worth doing than sell you one that isn't.
What you can count on when we come out
These come from how I learned the trade and what I've watched go wrong in attics. They're what you'll notice from the first look at your space to the finished job.
We look before we quote
We check the space first because what's already up there decides the job. Old insulation that's soaked or full of droppings has to come out, and gaps around can lights, pipes and the hatch get sealed, so new insulation isn't sitting on the same problem.
Straight answers, even a no
You'll hear it from someone who learned this by hand, including when a job should wait or isn't worth the money. Foam costs more and seals while it insulates, but sealing the gaps and topping up with loose fill blown through a hose usually wins unless your ductwork runs through the attic.
We stop if it's unsafe
If we find old insulation that could be unsafe to disturb, we stop right there instead of pushing ahead. We tell you plainly what we saw and point you to the right kind of company to handle it, so you're not left guessing.
Our own crew does the work
Either I or our lead installer comes out to look at your house, and our own crew does the job. We keep the vents at the eaves clear so the attic can still breathe, and we spread the insulation evenly so the edges aren't left thin.
Licensed and insured for insulation work in California
California's contractor licensing board requires a license when a job needs a permit, uses paid workers or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. We're licensed and fully insured for the insulation work we do.

We look at the space
Either I or our lead installer comes out and goes up into the attic or under the house. We check how many inches are already up there, whether the old material is wet or full of droppings, where air is getting through and whether the vents at the eaves are open.

Permits, then the work
Before we start, we check with the building office for your address, which in Montebello is the city's Building and Safety Division and elsewhere may be the county. If a permit's needed, we pull it and set up the inspections, then our crew seals the gaps and insulates.
