Quick answer

How much attic insulation does a Texas home need and what does it cost?

For Texas’ climate zone, the U.S. Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-60 in attics, yet many older homes have only R-11 to R-19. Blowing in insulation to about R-38 typically costs $1,200–$2,500 for a standard home; full removal and replacement runs $2,000–$4,000. Payback from energy savings often comes in a few years.

Overview

What is attic insulation?

Summer attic temperatures in Texas regularly reach 150°F. Thin or settled insulation lets that heat into the living space, and ducts running through the attic lose cooling along the way.

We measure existing depth, look for pest damage, moisture and air leaks, seal top-plate and penetration leaks, and blow in fiberglass or cellulose to the target R-value with depth markers for verification.

Below you will find every specialty service in this category, from blow-in insulation to home energy audit.

Only if it is contaminated, wet or pest-damaged. Otherwise, new insulation can be added on top.
