Our Story
My name is Nir Wolfovich. I founded Attic Solutions during one of the toughest economic stretches in recent memory. While other businesses were closing, I saw families struggling with outdated insulation, rising energy bills, and rodent problems they couldn’t solve on their own. I knew I could help.
Starting from scratch, we built this company one referral at a time. No flashy marketing campaigns. No venture capital. Just honest work that speaks for itself. That first year, every customer mattered. Every attic mattered. And that hasn’t changed.
Today, we’ve inspected thousands of attics throughout the East Bay. We know the housing stock here better than most: the 50-year-old homes in the Oakland hills with original insulation that’s compressed to nothing, the Lafayette ranches with crawl spaces that haven’t been touched since they were built, the Walnut Creek properties where rodents get in through the same entry points over and over.
This deep familiarity with Bay Area homes means we can walk into an attic and immediately spot what most contractors miss. We know where rats enter, which insulation types work best in our climate, and how to solve problems that keep coming back for other companies.
What Makes Us Different
Most insulation contractors do insulation. Most pest control companies do pest control. We do both, plus everything in between: insulation removal and replacement, rodent proofing, crawl space encapsulation, air duct repair, attic fans, drywall, and painting.
This full-service approach exists because problems in attics don’t happen in isolation. You can’t properly insulate an attic that’s full of rodent droppings. You can’t rodent-proof effectively without addressing the entry points created by damaged insulation. And you can’t improve energy efficiency without considering airflow, vapor barriers, and radiant heat.
We handle the entire job because splitting it between multiple contractors means higher costs, longer timelines, and finger-pointing when something goes wrong.
Our No-Upsell Policy
We don’t upsell. When we inspect your attic or crawl space, we tell you exactly what needs to be done and what can wait. If your insulation is fine but you just need rodent exclusion, we’ll tell you. If you only need a small repair instead of a full replacement, we’ll tell you that too.
This honesty has cost us money in the short term. We’ve walked away from jobs we could have oversold. But it’s built something more valuable: trust. Most of our business comes from referrals, and people refer contractors they trust.
Every estimate is free, with no obligation. We explain what we found, what we recommend, and why. You decide what makes sense for your home and your budget.
Why Bay Area Homeowners Choose Us
Experience that matters:
Fifteen years in business means we’ve seen every attic problem the Bay Area can throw at us. Raccoons in the crawl space, insulation that’s settled to half its original thickness, HVAC ducts that are falling apart, mold from moisture intrusion. We’ve solved it all.
Family-owned, not a franchise:
When you call Attic Solutions, you’re calling a family business headquartered right here in Oakland at 3246 Linden Street. We’re not reading from a corporate script. We’re making decisions based on what’s right for your home.
Proven track record:
We’ve earned 179+ five-star reviews on Yelp. Customers trust us because we show up on time, do the work we promised, clean up thoroughly, and charge what we quoted. No surprises.
Real energy savings:
Our customers regularly report 30-40% reductions in heating and cooling costs after we upgrade their insulation and install radiant barriers. These aren’t hypothetical savings. They show up on utility bills.
Thorough cleanup standards:
We don’t just pull out old insulation and leave a mess. We vacuum, sanitize, seal entry points, and make sure your attic or crawl space is cleaner than when we arrived.
What We Stand For
Quality over speed:
We could rush through jobs to fit more in a day. We don’t. We take the time to seal every rodent entry point, make sure insulation is installed at the proper R-value, and verify that vapor barriers are continuous with no gaps.
Transparency:
You’ll never wonder what we’re doing or why. We explain the problem, show you photos if needed, and walk you through the solution before we start work.
Accountability:
If something isn’t right, we make it right. No excuses, no delays.
Community:
We live and work in the East Bay. Our kids go to school here. We shop at the same stores you do. When we do good work, it reflects on our community. When we cut corners, it reflects on us. We choose the former every time.

We’re based in Oakland and serve the entire East Bay and broader Bay Area. Our crews know the roads, the neighborhoods, and the common issues in each area. Whether you’re in the Oakland hills, downtown Lafayette, or anywhere in Walnut Creek, we can be there quickly for estimates and service.
