Real Benefits of Attic Upgrades Before Selling

A small investment in attic remediation often leads to a faster sale, fewer negotiations, and higher buyer confidence.

Even if you’re selling as-is, these improvements make a major difference.

Our Pre-Sale Services for Home Sellers

🧱 Pre-Listing Attic Inspection

A clean attic shows buyers that the home has been well cared for.

Our attic inspection includes:

• Full visual review of insulation, ducts, and rodent activity

• High-resolution photos for use in disclosures or listing packets

• Recommendations and scope of work proposal

• Walkthrough with sellers or agents to answer questions

Know what’s up there before your buyer does. We help prevent inspection-day surprises.

🧼 Attic Sanitation & Odor Removal

Rodent waste, mold spores, and mildew buildup can create unpleasant odors that buyers notice during walkthroughs. Our sanitation service:

• Neutralizes biohazards left behind by pests or moisture

• Uses hospital-grade, EPA-approved disinfectants

• Removes lingering odors using non-toxic odor eliminators

• Leaves attic spaces clean and photo-ready

First impressions matter—especially during open houses.

🐀 Rodent Proofing with Warranty

Even if the rodents are long gone, signs of past infestation (droppings, entry holes) can derail a deal or cost you during negotiations. Our team will:

• Inspect and seal all rodent entry points

• Patch roofline, siding, and HVAC gaps

• Optional: Set traps to confirm activity is gone

• Provide a 1-Year Warranty on all sealed areas

You’ll be able to include rodent control documentation in your disclosure packet with confidence.

🌡️ Insulation Removal & Replacement

Old or damaged insulation can cause red flags in energy audits and buyer inspections. AtticShield removes and replaces attic insulation with:

• R-30, R-38, or R-49 blown-in fiberglass or cellulose (based on your climate zone)

• Insulation that complies with California Title 24 energy efficiency standards

• Optional batt installation around attic access points

• Visual depth markers for buyer and appraiser review

• Digital photo proof for appraisals or inspections

New insulation not only improves buyer confidence—it can increase your home’s appraised value.

🔧 Air Duct Repair & HVAC Prep

We inspect and repair attic ductwork to ensure HVAC systems run smoothly and evenly before showings and appraisals.

• Repair crushed or disconnected ducts

• Seal duct leaks to prevent air loss

• Replace old or damaged flexible lines with R-6 or R-8 insulated ducts

• Improve system airflow and energy rating

Buyers today care about energy efficiency and air quality. Make sure your system works the way it should.

🌬️ Attic Fan Installation & Ventilation Fixes

Attics that trap heat or moisture can damage insulation, ruin roof components, and lower home value. We provide:

• Solar-powered fan installation

• Passive vent upgrades

• Gable vent inspection and enhancement

Attic fans are affordable, low-maintenance improvements that buyers love to see—especially in Southern California’s warmer zones.

Ideal for These Types of Sales

Our attic services are designed to support sellers in all types of listings:

• Traditional home sales with active listings

• Off-market and pocket listings

• As-is property sales

• Flipped homes

• Rental property turnarounds

• Estate or inherited property sales

We work with owners, agents, and investors to ensure every attic is sale-ready and hassle-free.

• Same-week inspections and rapid turnaround

• Transparent, shareable service reports

• Flexible scheduling for stagers, appraisers, and contractors

• Optional pre-sale packages that include bundled services

• Communication with sellers or directly with agents—your choice

We protect your reputation, keep your deals moving, and support clean closings.

What Buyers Are Looking For—And What We Fix

Buyers today expect more than just paint and countertops. They’re asking:

• What’s in the attic?

• Is there evidence of rodents?

• Does the insulation meet Title 24 code?

• Are the air ducts clean and intact?

• Are there weird smells or mold risks?

• Will the HVAC system function efficiently?

If you don’t address it—your buyer’s inspector will. AtticShield makes sure your answers are airtight.
