Saratoga Cellulose is based in Ballston Spa and serves homeowners throughout Saratoga County and the Capital Region.
From historic homes in Saratoga Springs to newer construction throughout Malta, Wilton, Clifton Park, and surrounding communities, every house presents a different combination of insulation, airflow, moisture, mechanical systems, and building-envelope conditions.
We evaluate the home in front of us rather than prescribing the same solution to every customer.
We Look at the Whole Picture.
Most insulation problems aren't just insulation problems. Comfort and energy performance can be affected by the interaction between insulation, air leakage, moisture, ventilation, mechanical systems, and the building enclosure.

We are thrilled with the work that Travis Taylor and the folks at Saratoga Cellulose did for our camp in the Adirondacks. Truly exceptional workmanship. In addition, Travis & Alexis uncovered several structural issues with our camp; they provided solutions above and beyond the initial job scope including bringing in other professionals to address some of the necessary repairs. When we returned to the camp this year (after the 2025 installation), we were very impressed with how much more comfortable our camp is due to the new insulation. We would absolutely recommend them as the best choice for insulation.

Travis is so dedicated to his work and wants to make sure your home is properly insulated for years to come. His knowledge on insulating homes in upstate New York is impressive. A great person and company to work with!

This business is amazing. Everything is top notch. Professional, friendly, consistent and won't stop until the job is done. We had an insulation problem and even with sub zero weather these people got the job done. Our house has never been this warm. 10/10 recommendation!

Thank you for our attic bump up. Travis is great at communicating and his staff is professional and efficient. Our home is better insulated and ventilated thanks to you. Update - first winter after the bump up. Put heating bill dropped significantly and the house is warm at 68F so much we sleep in tshirts. Thank you so much 😊

I recently hired Saratoga Cellulose & Foam to insulate the walls and ceiling in my garage, and I am very pleased with the results. From the beginning Travis listened to my needs, answered all my questions, and kept me informed throughout the process. His staff were very professional and worked under very cold conditions. The pricing was fair, and the quality of the work was excellent. I highly recommend Saratoga Cellulose & Foam to anyone looking for a contractor for this type of work.

We recently had our attic re-insulated to see if we could cut down on our ever rising electric bill. We couldn't be happier with the work that Travis, Alexis, and Joey did. They worked in the worst of circumstances during the brutal cold snap we endured last week. They were all a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to re-insulate their home. We have already notice an increase in the warmth of our home and believe it will be reflected in our upcoming electric bills. Thank you Travis, Alexis, and Joey.
