Attic insulation in Sorel-Tracy
Two homes in three in Sorel-Tracy were built before 1981, including 26% from before 1961 and 40.7% from 1961 to 1980. Isolation Cornerstone insulates those attics, after a free visit and a written quote.
The order of the steps matters as much as the depth
In a house of that age, the work starts by sealing the ceiling air leaks. A baffle goes in at each soffit next, then the bathroom, range hood and dryer ducts are directed outdoors, and the hatch gets insulation and weatherstripping. Blown-in fibreglass comes last, with safety clearances kept around the chimney, light fixtures and ducts.
Depth rulers stay planted in the insulation, at R-51 minimum, and the customer reads the thickness personally. Two homes in three date from before 1981: their roofs have more than forty winters behind them.

Sorel on one bank, Tracy on the other
The Richelieu flows into the St. Lawrence between the Sorel sector, on its right bank, and the Tracy sector, on its left bank. Tracy became a town in 1954, split off from the parish of Saint-Joseph-de-Sorel. The two towns merged in 2000, and Saint-Pierre-de-Saurel had joined Sorel back in 1992. On either side of the river, each attic has its own story.

Hi! Pick a question and we’ll answer right here.
Choose a question
- Is the Tracy sector covered, like the Sorel sector?
- Yes. The Tracy sector, on the left bank of the Richelieu, is part of Sorel-Tracy and so of the service area, like the Sorel sector. The visit is free there.
- LogisVert vs. Rénoclimat: which one applies to attic insulation?
- LogisVert, from Hydro-Québec, covers roof insulation done together with caulking, in a house heated mainly with electricity. Rénoclimat, from the Québec government, requires an energy evaluation before and after the work, and can complement LogisVert when the work is separate. Each programme alone decides whether you qualify.
- Is the visit for the quote really free?
- Yes. Isolation Cornerstone comes to look at the attic at your address and gives you a written quote, at no charge and with no pressure.
