Spray foam insulation in Bell County, TX
Open and closed cell foam that seals the air leaks other insulation leaves open, for attics, walls, crawl spaces and metal buildings.
Insulation that also seals the house
Most insulation slows heat. Spray foam slows heat and stops air. It goes on as a liquid, expands to fill every gap and crack, and cures in place into a solid layer that does not settle or shift.
That matters in Bell County. Summer air in an attic can run far hotter than the air outside, and every small gap around a light, vent or wall top lets that heat into the rooms below. Foam closes those gaps in the same step that it insulates.
The most common job we do is open cell foam on the underside of the roof deck. That turns the attic into a semi conditioned space, so the air handler and ductwork up there are no longer working in extreme heat.
- Open cell foam for attic roof decks, walls and sound control
- Closed cell foam for metal buildings, crawl spaces and anywhere moisture is a concern
- Air sealing around top plates, penetrations and attic openings
- Coatings where code requires them, such as ignition barriers in accessible attics
- Free inspection and a written price before work starts
Open cell or closed cell?
Both are spray foam, but they do different jobs. We recommend one based on where it is going, not on what is easier to sell.
| Open cell | Closed cell | |
|---|---|---|
| Feel | Soft and spongy | Hard and rigid |
| Insulation per inch | About R-3.5 to R-3.8 | About R-6 to R-7 |
| Moisture | Lets water vapor pass | Acts as a vapor retarder |
| Price | Lower | Higher |
| Best for | Attic roof decks, interior walls, sound control | Metal buildings, crawl spaces, rim joists, tight spaces |

When spray foam is the right call
Ducts in the attic
Foaming the roof deck keeps the air handler and ductwork out of extreme attic heat.
A hot second floor
Sealing the attic helps upstairs rooms stay closer to the thermostat setting.
Leaky older homes
Foam closes the gaps that let hot, dusty air in around old framing.
Metal shops and barns
Closed cell foam insulates and stops the roof from sweating.
When it is not the right call: if your attic simply needs more depth and your ducts are in good shape, blown in insulation usually gives you more for the money. We will tell you if that is the case.
