Insulation & Air Sealing · Houston, TX
Stop Paying to Cool Your Attic
In Houston, your attic hits 140°F+ in July. If it's under-insulated, your AC fights a losing battle every afternoon. We blow in R-38 to R-60 insulation, seal bypasses, install radiant barriers, and treat walls and crawlspaces — so your electric bill drops and upstairs bedrooms stop being unbearable.

Full restoration, not just a top-up
Rodent cleanup, bypass sealing, and radiant barrier before insulation — done in the right order.
Air-sealed first
We caulk and foam top plates, can-lights, and plumbing penetrations. Insulation over leaks is money in the trash.

Fiberglass or cellulose to R-38 / R-49 / R-60 depending on budget and energy goals. Depth-rulered every 300 sq ft.

Removal & rebuild
Old insulation removal (contaminated, compacted, rodent-damaged). Hauled off — you don't see it again.

FAQ
Insulation & Air Sealing questions, answered
Real questions we get, answered without the sales spin.
What R-value do I need in Houston?+
Minimum is R-30 for code, but R-38 to R-49 is the sweet spot for the Houston climate. R-60 if you want max efficiency — we'll spec based on your home and goals.
Blown-in vs batt — which is better?+
For Houston attics, blown-in wins — it fills irregular spaces, covers the joists, and installs fast. Batts are for walls and accessible flat surfaces. We use both where appropriate.
Will new insulation really lower my bill?+
Yes, often dramatically. A home with R-11 moving to R-49 typically sees $60–100/mo in summer savings. The federal 25C tax credit may cover 30% of the cost up to $1,200.
Do I need to remove the old insulation?+
Not always. If it's dry, rodent-free, and not matted, we blow on top. If it's contaminated, compressed, or wet, we remove it first.
Should I encapsulate my crawlspace?+
If it's damp, musty, or you've seen mold, yes. Encapsulation stops moisture-driven mold and the energy waste of conditioning a humid space below your floor — common on older Houston homes.
