Insulation for the Concho Valley
Established neighborhoods in San Angelo, rentals near Goodfellow Air Force Base and Angelo State University, lake homes by Lake Nasworthy, and pole barns and ranch shops out toward Wall, Christoval, Miles and Mertzon. Every building leaks heat in its own way, so we fit the insulation to the building in front of us.

Why it matters out here
Spray foam is not always the answer. Plenty of San Angelo attics just need more blown in depth, and we will say so. Compare spray foam and fiberglass.
01
Afternoon sun on the roof
Clear skies and few shade trees mean the roof soaks up heat for hours. The right insulation keeps most of it in the attic and out of your rooms.
02
Hot days, cool nights
Dry air lets temperatures fall fast after sundown. A well insulated house holds a steady temperature through the swing.
03
Ready for a hard freeze
Cold snaps are not frequent here, but they come. Good attic depth and sealed gaps help keep the heat inside when they do.
04
Less dust inside
Dry, windy days carry fine dust through every gap. Air sealing and foam close the paths it takes into the house.
05
Cooler attic ductwork
Ducts in a sun baked attic waste cooling before it reaches a vent. Foam on the roof deck or a radiant barrier gives them relief.
06
Shops and barns you can use
Closed cell foam keeps a metal building from cooking at midday and from sweating on a cool, clear night.

Costs
What does it cost?
We will not quote a figure before we see the space. Size, material, how hard the attic or building is to reach, and whether old insulation has to be pulled out first all change the total. Blown in fiberglass is usually the least expensive way to add attic depth. Spray foam costs more and also air seals.
Our cost guide walks through what moves a price here, so you can line up quotes fairly.
FAQ
Common questions
How much attic insulation does a San Angelo home need?
- Tom Green County is in climate zone 3. ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an attic with no insulation.
- If you already have 3 to 4 inches, it recommends adding R-38.
Does a radiant barrier work here?
- Yes, better than in most places. Strong sun and long hot summers are where it helps most.
- It works best alongside good attic depth, not in place of it.
Is spray foam worth it?
- Often yes for attics with ductwork, leaky older homes and metal buildings.
- If the attic only needs more depth, blown in usually goes further for the money.
Do you insulate pole barns and ranch shops?
- Yes. Closed cell spray foam is the usual pick for metal buildings.
- It cuts roof heat and stops sweating on cool nights.
Can you replace insulation rodents got into?
- Yes. We vacuum out the fouled material, seal the attic floor and install new insulation.
- Have the animals removed and entry points closed first.
Which towns do you serve?
- San Angelo, Wall, Christoval, Grape Creek, Miles and Mertzon, plus the ranch country around them.
