Spray Foam Insulation DFW

Spray foam is the Cadillac of comfort. Looks like shaving cream, works like Fort Knox. But it's not the right choice for every attic.

We offer both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam. The right choice depends on what you're trying to do.

Open-cell is lighter and less expensive. R-3.5 to R-4.0 per inch. It's good for attic floor applications where you want to air-seal and insulate in one step. Open-cell foam allows moisture vapor to pass through, which matters in our humid Texas climate.

Closed-cell is denser and more expensive. R-6.0 to R-6.5 per inch. It's ideal for rim joists, crawl spaces, and cathedral ceilings where you need maximum R-value in a thin space. Closed-cell also adds structural rigidity and acts as a vapor barrier.

But here's the thing: I've seen attics this year where improperly applied spray foam caused moisture problems. Closed-cell foam in a vented attic without proper ventilation can trap moisture. I'll tell you honestly whether spray foam is the best solution for your situation — or whether blown-in fiberglass would do the same job for less.

Our spray foam installations include proper surface preparation, temperature monitoring, and post-installation inspection to ensure correct coverage and cure.

We'll tell you if spray foam is worth the extra cost — or if blown-in will do the same job for less.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam?

Open-cell is lighter and cheaper (R-3.5-4.0 per inch). Closed-cell is denser and more expensive (R-6.0-6.5 per inch). Closed-cell also acts as a vapor barrier. The right choice depends on your specific application.

Is spray foam better than blown-in insulation?

It depends. Spray foam air-seals and insulates in one step. But for most DFW attics, blown-in fiberglass at R-38 or R-49 offers the best value. Spray foam shines in rim joists, crawl spaces, and cathedral ceilings.

Can spray foam cause moisture problems?

Yes, if improperly installed. Closed-cell foam in a vented attic without proper ventilation can trap moisture. Proper installation and attic ventilation are critical.
