Insulation contractor in Iowa Park, TX - gaps sealed before the attic gets filled

Summers here run long and hot, and the attic is the hottest spot on your property. When the ductwork lives up there, every thin spot in the insulation shows up as a room that won't cool and a power bill that keeps climbing. That's the one case where I'll steer you toward spray foam on the underside of the roof, because it seals air while it insulates and keeps those ducts on the cool side of the house. Everywhere else, sealing the gaps and topping up the loose fill usually gets you most of the way for a lot less money.

We also meet plenty of older houses here, and those attics can hide old wiring, buried eave vents and a leak nobody noticed. I look for all of that before we write anything up, because covering it with fresh insulation only hides the trouble.

Permits in Iowa Park go through City Hall, which issues the building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical permits for work inside the city, and you or your contractor buy them there. Insulation isn't named on that list, so I check with City Hall before every job, and if yours needs a permit, we handle the paperwork and the inspections for you. We're fully licensed and insured, and the City of Iowa Park requires construction work to be done by a contractor licensed and insured with the city, so ask that of anyone you're thinking of hiring, us included. If I find wiring that needs repair, that part goes to a state-licensed electrician under its own electrical permit. The price mostly follows the size of the space, what's already in it and how much fixing comes first, and the estimate puts all of that in writing for your house.

We're an insulation contractor based in Wichita Falls, TX, and Iowa Park sits about five miles west of us on State Highway 370, so the drive isn't what holds up your schedule. What usually does is a permit step, old insulation that has to come out first or a repair I find up there, and in the middle of summer we start early because an attic here gets too hot to work in safely by afternoon.

Iowa Park sits in the middle of Wichita County, a small city with its own City Hall and the town's historical marker standing out front. Oil turned up on a farm south of town about a century ago, and the boom was over within a few years, so what we drive past today is mostly neighborhoods, with shops along the main roads and a few metal buildings toward the edges. We work here the same way we work Burkburnett and the other cities around Wichita Falls.

Up in the attics, that means a mix of older houses that have been added onto over the years and newer ones with ductwork overhead. The older ones are where I slow down most, because an attic that a few owners have worked in usually holds a surprise or two before it's ready for new insulation.
