Passing Down the Trade: Insulation, Integrity, and Training the Next Generation

At Crown Roofing, insulation is not just another service we offer. It is part of protecting a home from the inside out.

Recently, I had the opportunity to complete an insulation job alongside my 16-year-old son. What could have been just another workday turned into something much more meaningful.

Why Insulation Matters in Wisconsin Homes

Living in Wisconsin means dealing with extreme temperature swings. Bitter cold winters. Humid summers. Ice dams. Energy loss. High heating bills.

Proper attic insulation plays a critical role in:

• Preventing ice dams

• Reducing heat loss

• Lowering energy bills

• Improving overall home comfort

• Extending the life of your roof

We frequently install products like Attic Cat blown-in insulation, but we also offer natural insulation options such as hemp and sheep’s wool for homeowners who prefer eco-friendly solutions.

Every home is different. Every attic tells a different story. That is why we evaluate each situation carefully before recommending a solution.

Teaching the Next Generation

There is something powerful about teaching your child a trade.

Working in the attic with my son reminded me that craftsmanship is not just about tools and materials. It is about:

• Slowing down and paying attention

• Taking responsibility for mistakes

• Doing the job right, even when nobody sees it

• Respecting the homes people trust you with

In construction, details matter. Integrity matters even more.

Training the next generation is not just about learning how to install insulation properly. It is about learning how to show up, own your work, and stand behind it.

At Crown Roofing, we are building more than roofs and insulation systems. We are building legacy.

If you are noticing uneven temperatures in your home, high energy bills, or signs of ice damming, it may be time to evaluate your attic insulation.

We offer free inspections throughout Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Menasha, Neenah, and surrounding Wisconsin communities.

Let’s make sure your home is protected from the top down.
