Attic Insulation & Air Sealing

In Oklahoma, your attic is ground zero for energy waste. During summer, an uninsulated attic can hit 150°F or higher. That heat radiates down through your ceiling, and your air conditioner has to work overtime to fight it. In winter, the warm air you're paying to heat rises straight through gaps and thin insulation into the attic and out through the roof.

The Department of Energy estimates that 25–40% of a home's heating and cooling energy escapes through the attic. For many Oklahoma homeowners, that adds up to hundreds of dollars per year — every year — going straight through the roof.

Why Spray Foam Beats Traditional Attic Insulation

Fiberglass batts and blown-in insulation sit on the attic floor. They insulate, but they don't air seal. Every wire penetration, light fixture, plumbing vent, and HVAC chase is a gap that lets conditioned air escape and outdoor air infiltrate. Spray foam seals and insulates in one application — no gaps, no air bypass, no separate vapor barrier needed.

We typically spray the underside of the roof decking rather than the attic floor. This brings the attic inside the building envelope, which means your ductwork (which is usually in the attic) now runs through conditioned space instead of fighting 150°F air. That alone can improve HVAC efficiency by 20–30%.

The Process

Most residential attic jobs take one day. We prep the space, mask off anything that needs protection, and spray the foam to the specified thickness. Open cell at 5.5 inches is the most common attic application — it fills the rafter bays completely and provides R-20. For higher R-values, we can go thicker or use closed cell.

After spraying, the foam cures within hours. You'll notice the difference the same day — your upstairs rooms will hold temperature better, your AC will cycle less frequently, and the house will feel noticeably more comfortable.

What It Costs

The investment typically pays for itself in energy savings within 3–5 years, then continues saving you money for the life of the home. Pricing depends on size, accessibility, foam type, and thickness — contact us for a free on-site estimate.
