Why BCI Group
Why fiberglass still makes sense in Upton
Fiberglass is one of the most cost-effective insulation materials available, and it performs well when it is installed carefully. In Upton, we fit every batt tightly around wires, boxes and pipes so there are no gaps or compressed spots.
When older homes are opened up for renovation, fiberglass batts in the open walls, combined with air sealing, bring them much closer to new-construction performance.
Being close to Westborough means our crews know Upton well and can schedule quickly.
- Does not absorb moisture

Upton homes and what they need
Upton is a rural town of mostly single-family homes, from antique colonials and farmhouses to newer homes on larger lots, many heated with oil or propane.
Upton is a rural town around Pratt Pond and Upton State Forest, with many homes on larger wooded lots. Antique colonials, farmhouses and homes heated with oil or propane are common here, so sealing attics and basements can cut fuel use noticeably.
Worcester County homes heated with oil or propane often see the fastest payback from sealing air leaks, because every gallon saved is money that stays in the house.

FAQ
Fiberglass questions in Upton, MA
Fiberglass or spray foam?
Spray foam seals air as it insulates and costs more. Fiberglass costs less and works well with separate air sealing. Many projects use both.
Is fiberglass safe?
Yes, once installed and covered. Our crews wear protective gear during installation.
How long does a fiberglass job take?
Most homes and additions are done in a day or two.
Are there rebates for fiberglass in Massachusetts?
Mass Save® programs may offer incentives for attic insulation. We help you check what applies.
Does fiberglass absorb moisture?
The glass fibers do not absorb water, but wet insulation loses performance, so leaks should be fixed first.
Does fiberglass help with sound?
Yes. Unfaced batts in interior walls and floors reduce noise between rooms.
