Insulation & Smoke-Damaged Attic Cleanup in Pacific Palisades

Since the January 2025 fire we've cleaned out and re-insulated smoke-damaged attics all over the Palisades Highlands and insulated rebuilds and a 24-unit condo complex. If your home is standing, the attic insulation probably still holds smoke. If you're rebuilding, talk to us before you break ground: the SoCalGas Fire Rebuild incentive has to be applied for first.

Homes in Pacific Palisades

What we find in Pacific Palisades attics.

  • Homes that survived the fire but still have smoke and ash in the attic insulation, which keeps the smell coming back into the house.
  • Fire rebuilds: new homes and ADUs built to the 2025 energy code (Title 24), often with spray foam roofs.
  • Hillside homes in the Highlands with tight, hard-to-reach attics. Canyon brush brings rats.
  • Condo complexes with dozens of separate attics and crawlspaces.

GREAT COMPANY!! My job completion date moved up and I forgot to schedule insulation. I called Koala yesterday, a Friday afternoon. They had guys on my job at 8:00 this morning, Saturday, and they were done by 10:30. Very good clean work. They cleaned up after themselves and were very personable. And to price was excellent. I’m pleased to say I have a new insulation company!

Common questions

Straight answers.

My Palisades home survived the fire. Do I need new attic insulation?

If the attic still smells of smoke or the insulation is gray with ash, yes. Insulation traps smoke particles and keeps releasing the smell. We inspect for free and send you photos of what we find.

Does insurance cover smoke-damaged insulation?

Often, but not always. We document the attic with photos and a written scope for your adjuster or public adjuster. Some of our customers paid out of pocket when insurance refused.

What rebate is there for a Palisades rebuild?

SoCalGas's Fire Rebuild incentive pays for insulation above code on new homes in the fire zip codes: $2.30 to $3.00 per sq ft for ceilings and $1.65 for walls. You have to apply before construction starts, with your Title 24 energy report (CF-1R) showing the R-values.

Can you insulate a whole condo complex?

Yes. We've done a 24-unit Palisades complex, attics and crawlspaces, unit by unit on a schedule that worked for the residents.
