Meet the Los Angeles Team Behind Laurel Attic Insulation Los Angeles
Insulation work is not glamorous, and we’re fine with that. We spend our days in attics that hit 130 degrees in August, under eaves in Silver Lake bungalows, and inside crawl spaces where most people wouldn’t send their worst enemy. What keeps us at it is simple: we’re good at it, we like each other, and there’s a quiet satisfaction in knowing a house will hold its temperature through the next heat wave because we did our job right. This is the crew you’ll actually see when you book with Laurel Attic Insulation Los Angeles.
Our People
Chase Whitaker, Owner
Chase has been running Laurel Attic Insulation Los Angeles since 2003, which means he’s spent over two decades looking at the underside of Los Angeles roofs and telling people the truth about what’s up there. Before insulation, he worked residential construction, so he understands how a house breathes, where the heat actually escapes, and why the cheapest fix usually costs more by the time you’re done with it. He still takes calls from customers who want to talk through a quote line by line, because he’d rather explain it once than have someone feel like they got sold something. You won’t get a pitch from Chase. You’ll get numbers, a recommendation, and a straight answer about whether the job is worth doing at all.
Miguel D., Lead Technician
Miguel has been with Laurel for eleven years and has personally handled more than 3,000 attic jobs across Los Angeles. His specialty is insulation removal, which sounds straightforward until you’re hauling out thirty-year-old blown fiberglass that’s been compacted, soaked, or turned into a squirrel condo. He’s certified on spray foam application through the SPFA and is the person we send when a job involves awkward rooflines, tight access hatches, or attics where the previous insulation was installed so badly it needs to be undone before we can redo it. Miguel keeps a small notebook in his truck where he sketches out attic layouts before starting a job, mostly so he can show new techs why certain walls run colder than others. Off the clock, he coaches his son’s youth soccer team in Boyle Heights.
Dana R., Service Coordinator
Dana is the voice on the phone when you call (213) 698-7067, and she’s been running scheduling for the Los Angeles team for six years. Her job is to get the details straight before anyone steps foot in your house: square footage, existing insulation type, how old the house is, whether there’s a live arrival time that works around a work-from-home schedule. She came from an HVAC dispatch background, so she knows how to translate what customers describe into what the crew actually needs to know. Dana is also the person who makes sure every customer gets their written price before the crew starts, their before-and-after photo updates during the job, and their digital invoice with the guarantee attached. She’s direct, quick, and will tell you up front if the timing doesn’t work rather than letting you sit in an eight-hour window.
Andre T., Senior Installer
Andre joined Laurel four years ago after five years in commercial insulation, and he’s the person you want on a spray foam job. He’s trained on Icynene and Demilec application and handles most of our closed-cell and open-cell projects in the LA area. Andre also runs our quality checks: after a job is done, he walks through the attic with a thermal camera and flags anything that doesn’t look right before we call it finished. He’s originally from Inglewood and has a habit of naming the raccoons he finds in attics, which sounds charming until you’ve heard him give a running commentary on a family of them for an entire afternoon. Still, he’s the most meticulous installer we have, and nothing leaves the truck without him checking the seal.
One Standard, Every Job
What this team shares isn’t a script. It’s a set of rules we’ve agreed not to break. Every customer gets a written price before any work starts, no exceptions. Every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a repair fails, the second visit is free, no charge and no argument. We show up in uniform at a live, trackable arrival time because The Relay Visibility Guarantee means you know where we are, not just when we’re supposed to be there. Those promises don’t change depending on which of us shows up at your door. Whether it’s Miguel hauling out old fiberglass, Andre running spray foam on a steep roof deck, or Chase walking you through the quote, the deal is the same. That’s how we’ve kept this business running in Los Angeles for more than twenty years.
