1960s to 1980s houses: trussed roofs and tight spaces
Trussed roofs from this period leave little room to move. Early insulation is thin, and some have had spray foam added since.

What we usually find
Thin original insulation, crowded trusses that make storage awkward, and in some homes spray foam that’s causing mortgage trouble.
What we do
Remove foam if it’s there, then insulate the floor properly. Where storage is wanted, we board carefully around the trusses.
