Whether you’re experiencing ceiling drafts in one particular room or need insulation work throughout your home, Eco Tec is your local, trusted ceiling insulation contractor. We have over 20 years of experience providing cost-effective insulation solutions in the Chicagoland area, preventing the harsh winds and chilly winters from leaking through your ceiling.
Many Chicago homes have impressive cathedral ceilings that, while beautiful, can experience excessive air leakage and moisture buildup over time. To prevent temperature changes and costly heating/cooling bills, Eco Tec utilizes only the best ceiling insulation options.
In many cases, we recommend closed-cell spray foam insulation—a high-performance solution that forms an air- and moisture-tight seal. Unlike fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam doesn’t absorb water or promote mold growth. Instead, proper air sealing keeps your ceiling cavity dry, protecting it from moisture buildup over time.
Plus, the same air sealing qualities deliver exceptional thermal performance, reducing heat transfer between living spaces, attic insulation, and your roof. From our initial inspection to final walkthrough, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your cathedral ceilings are more energy-efficient, durable, and moisture-free.
Simple roof or attic issues can cause outside air to leak directly through the ceiling, causing unwanted temperature changes throughout the year. Proper insulation seals the space, keeping temperatures stable with minimal HVAC system effort.
Preventing air leaks keeps indoor air in and outdoor air out, allowing you to save between 15-50% on monthly utility bills. Your home will also have a smaller environmental footprint.
Moisture buildup can be a huge issue for cathedral ceilings or structures prone to ice dams, leading to mold growth and costly damage over time. However, our quality insulation provides an airtight seal that keeps your ceiling dry for years to come.
Ceiling insulation also serves as an effective sound barrier, minimizing noise transfer between floors and creating a quieter, more peaceful living environment.
Regardless of the ceiling type, level of damage, or budget, our expert contractors work with you to develop the most cost-effective ceiling insulation plan. We consistently see rave reviews because we offer:

We understand that every ceiling is different, which is why we recommend a variety of insulation materials. Whether your project needs spray foam, fiberglass batts, blown-in insulation, or a combination of the three, we'll create a custom plan tailored to your needs.
Our insulation solutions are built for Chicago's extreme weather—from harsh winters to humid summers. Every project is completed to match Chicago's strict R:Value regulations and energy code requirements for the best long-term performance and energy savings.
1. Assessment
First, we evaluate your ceiling for air leaks and condensation, allowing us to develop a personalized plan that addresses issues and maximizes performance.
2. Preparation
Before installation, we carefully clear out old/damaged insulation and any obstructions. We can then seal any cracks and gaps to create a solid foundation for new insulation.
3. Installation
Depending on ceiling type, we utilize one or multiple of our insulation options to provide even coverage, the right R-value for Chicago’s climate, and improved indoor comfort.
4. Settling & Ventilation
For insulation types that need time to settle or cure, we’ll control moisture and maintain air quality during and after installation with proper ventilation.
5. Final Inspection
We finish with a detailed walkthrough, verifying coverage, sealing, and compliance with Chicago building codes. We will take photos after completion and clean up the job site thoroughly.
