Attic insulation in Katy homes

More on the work itself: attic insulation and roof deck conversion, or spray foam for Houston homes.

The bulk of Katy's housing stock is 1995 to present: Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes, Seven Meadows, Firethorne, Cross Creek Ranch and the newer Elyson and Cane Island sections. These are large two story homes with steep roofs, media rooms over the garage, and a lot of ductwork running through 140°F attic air. Most were built with blown fiberglass on the attic floor and a radiant barrier stapled to the rafters, which helps until the ducts leak and the attic floor is buried under storage.

What we usually recommend here is a full roof deck conversion: open-cell foam at the underside of the deck and gables, the old insulation left in place or removed depending on condition, and the attic brought inside the envelope. Bonus rooms over the garage get their own look, because the knee walls and floor cavities there are almost never sealed properly by the builder.

Katy also has a healthy new construction pipeline. If you are building in Elyson, Cane Island or on acreage out toward Fulshear, we coordinate directly with your builder on foam depth, protected surfaces and inspection timing before the drywall goes up.

Blown-in and radiant barrier

Other insulation options in Katy

A lot of Katy attics already have exactly what we would otherwise install: blown fiberglass on the floor and a radiant barrier on the rafters, put in by the builder in the 2000s. Twenty years on, the fill has settled well below the depth it was sold at. Topping it back up to full depth is the cheapest useful thing we do here, and for a Cinco Ranch or Seven Meadows house whose ducts are in a closet rather than the attic, it is often the whole answer. Where the ducts are in the attic, we will say so rather than sell you the smaller job twice.

Commercial and industrial

Commercial work in Katy

The Katy Freeway corridor from the Grand Parkway to the Energy Corridor is one of the busiest warehouse and flex space markets in Texas. We insulate metal buildings, tilt wall warehouses, distribution centers and shop space along I-10, Highway 90 and the 99 corridor, and we bid to spec. Church and school campuses along Kingsland and Westheimer Parkway are regular work for us as well.
