Attic insulation in Dallas–Fort Worth
North Texas sits in climate zone 3, where ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic, or adding R-38 when you already have 3–4 inches. We remove old or contaminated insulation, seal gaps and rodent entry points, add baffles so the eaves breathe, and blow in new insulation to the level your home and local code call for.
Signs your home needs it
- Rooms that are too hot in summer or too cold in winter
- Insulation that is flattened, thin, or below the top of the ceiling joists
- Rodent droppings, nests or tunnels in the insulation
- Water stains or insulation that got wet after a roof leak
- You are selling, and an inspector flagged the attic
Not every home needs service right away, and if yours doesn’t, we’ll tell you.
What happens, step by step
Clear the attic
Old insulation, debris and items that don’t belong are removed and hauled away.
Fire-block foam
Gaps and penetrations get fire-block foam to stop air leaking up from the living space.
Rodent treatment
We spray rodent repellent, then find and seal the entry points.
Open the eaves
Eaves are cleaned for airflow and baffles are added where needed.
Blow in new insulation
New insulation is installed evenly to current code, typically R-38 or higher, with depth markers you can check.
Exactly what’s included
Removal
Contaminated, compressed or water-damaged insulation vacuumed out and hauled away.
Air sealing
Top plates, penetrations and chases sealed with fire-block foam to stop conditioned air escaping.
Pest exclusion
Rodent treatment and sealing of identified entry points.
Ventilation
Eaves cleared and baffles installed so soffit intake stays open.
Installation
Blown insulation installed to a uniform depth for the target R-value, typically R-38 to R-49, with depth markers.
Documentation
Itemized invoice of what was removed and installed, including R-value, suitable for appraisers and buyers.

Attic Insulation: questions
Do I need to remove the old insulation?
Not always. If it’s dry and clean, we can add on top. If it’s contaminated by rodents, wet, or packed down, removal is the right call, and we’ll show you why.
R-38 or R-49?
Both are common in North Texas. ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated zone 3 attic. We’ll quote what your home needs and what your city’s code requires.
Can you provide paperwork for a home sale?
Yes. You get a detailed paid invoice listing what was removed and installed, including the R-value, which appraisers and buyers can review.
