Residential Spray Foam in El Paso

Insulating El Paso homes around swamp coolers and attic ducts

By June, El Paso afternoons sit in the high 90s under a sun that rarely lets up, and the attic soaks up that heat all day. In a one-story house it comes back down through every ceiling. How the house is cooled matters as much as the heat. Plenty of older homes still run a rooftop swamp cooler, which pushes outside air in and needs a path back out, through open windows or relief vents into the attic. Homes with refrigerated air usually have the ducts and air handler up there as well, and the cold air crosses the hottest space in the house before it reaches a room.

Spray foam insulation for an El Paso, TX home usually starts overhead. With refrigerated air, open-cell sprayed against the roof deck brings those ducts inside the insulated space. With a cooler that vents into the attic, a sealed roof deck leaves that air nowhere to go, so we foam the attic floor instead or plan another way out for it. Denser closed-cell foam gives more R per inch and blocks moisture, so we use it on rim joists, in a crawl space if the house has one, and in shallow rooflines. Walls in new builds and additions are easy to foam before drywall. Finished walls, brick or block especially, are harder, and we check access on the visit.

Typical home insulation jobs in El Paso

  • Roof-deck foam over attic ductwork in homes with refrigerated air
  • Attic floor foam in houses that still run a rooftop swamp cooler
  • Cooler-to-refrigerated-air conversions, with the attic foamed at the same time
  • New builds on the east side and in Horizon City, sprayed before drywall
  • Casitas and converted garages on the larger lots around Canutillo

What we plan around in El Paso

  • June afternoons in the upper 90s, with the attic far hotter still
  • Rooftop swamp coolers, which only work with an open path out for the air
  • Monsoon humidity from July on, when evaporative coolers cool the least
  • Brick and block walls that are harder to foam than open framing

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Walk the house

    We look at the attic, walls, and crawl space and recommend open-cell or closed-cell foam for each.

  2. Step 2

    Prep

    Floors, windows, and anything nearby get covered, and the work area is ventilated.

  3. Step 3

    Spray

    Foam goes on to the thickness in the estimate, sealing gaps as it expands.

  4. Step 4

    Check and clean up

    We check coverage, clean up, and tell you when the space is ready to use again.

Getting a New Mexico attic ready for winter

Cold nights come fast at this altitude, and most of the heat a house loses in winter goes out through the attic. Here is what to look at up there before the first freeze, and what it means.

Residential Spray Foam in El Paso: common questions

Around the same time, if you can. Once the cooler is gone, nothing has to vent through the attic anymore, so the roof deck usually becomes the place for foam, and the new ductwork ends up inside the insulated space instead of sitting in a hot attic. Tell us who is doing the HVAC work and we’ll work out the order with them. If you’re keeping the cooler, foam still works; it just changes where it goes.
Sometimes. Foam has to be sprayed into an open cavity, so a finished wall means opening it up from inside or out, and some brick and block walls have no framed cavity to fill at all. In a lot of El Paso homes the attic or roof deck is where foam does the most good anyway, since that’s where the sun hits hardest. We’ll look at the walls when we’re out there and tell you plainly what’s practical.
Yes. Along with El Paso itself, we insulate homes in Canutillo, Vinton, and Anthony, Texas, up toward the New Mexico line, and in Horizon City, Socorro, San Elizario, Clint, Fabens, and Tornillo to the southeast. Send the address and the rough square footage, and tell us which part of the house you want foamed.
