Insulation Company in Boerne, TX
Boerne insulation work is different from what you’d find in San Antonio’s flat suburban tracts, because the housing stock here runs from 19th-century limestone cottages near Main Street to 1990s tract homes on slab to custom Hill Country estates on acreage. That spread means a one-size-fits-all approach fails fast, and the local climate adds its own pressure: hot, humid summers, sudden winter freezes, and spring hail all test how well an attic or wall assembly actually performs. We plan every Boerne job around those realities, write the price down before we start, and treat your house like a home, not a jobsite. Call (903) 437-9164 to talk through what your attic needs.
Why Boerne Homes Are Different
Boerne sits at the edge of the Hill Country, which gives us hot, sticky summers with highs in the 90s and winter nights that occasionally drop below freezing. That temperature swing drives condensation in under-insulated attics, and when attic air meets warm, humid living space air, you get moisture on ceiling drywall. Left alone, that becomes mold, and no homeowner wants the ceiling over a bedroom growing spots. Older homes near Cibolo Creek and the historic districts have their own story: limestone walls that hold cool dampness, pier-and-beam foundations that breathe from below, and attics where anyone working has to watch for limestone dust and bat guano before laying new material. Newer subdivisions on the city’s east side often have fiberglass batts but weak air sealing around penetrations, so energy loss happens at every ceiling fixture and attic hatch. The soil plays a role too. Boerne sits on expansive clay, and when clay shifts, walls and foundations move slightly, opening air gaps that make insulation less effective over time. A crew that knows Boerne’s soil movement patterns checks for those gaps rather than just adding more material on top.
Our Main Boerne Services
Most Boerne homeowners call us for one of two jobs: re-insulating an attic that’s underperforming, or sealing and insulating with spray foam where air leakage is the real problem. Each service has its own Boerne page with local pricing, what to expect, and the products we recommend for this climate.
Attic Insulation in Boerne
Attic work in Boerne usually means removing old, compressed batts or blown material, air-sealing the ceiling plane, and installing new insulation matched to the home’s age and construction. In a 1980s brick home off Johns Road, that might mean blown-in fiberglass over a sealed deck. In an older limestone house near Main Street, we’re often working around original framing and keeping the historic envelope intact while bringing the attic up to a genuinely useful R-value. We lay drop cloths from the front door to the attic hatch, wear shoe covers the whole time, and show you a photo of the cleaned space before we leave. Read the full breakdown here: Attic Insulation in Boerne.
Spray Foam Insulation in Boerne
Spray foam earns its keep in Boerne’s humid climate, where air sealing matters as much as R-value. Closed-cell foam stops moisture from migrating into wall cavities, which matters in pier-and-beam homes where damp air rises from below, and it stiffens the structure against the minor shifting that clay soils cause. We choose between open-cell and closed-cell based on the specific build, the homeowner’s budget, and whether the space is conditioned. Product lines we install include Icynene and Demilec, both known for consistent, predictable expansion. Get the full local picture here: Spray Foam Insulation in Boerne.

Brands We Service in Boerne
We install a limited set of proven product lines rather than whatever is on sale this month, because different attics and wall assemblies need different materials. In Boerne you’ll most often see us specifying Owens Corning blown-in fiberglass for attic retrofits, Icynene or Demilec for spray foam, and GreenFiber cellulose where a homeowner wants a denser, quieter attic.

Pricing for Insulation Company in Boerne, TX
Boerne insulation pricing depends on square footage, the current state of the attic, and which product fits the job. Here are the typical ranges we quote in this area, with every number in writing before any work begins.
| Service | Typical range in Boerne |
|---|---|
| Attic inspection and air-sealing consultation | $150 – $300 |
| Blown-in fiberglass attic insulation (1,000 – 1,500 sq ft) | $1,800 – $3,200 |
| Blown-in cellulose attic insulation (1,000 – 1,500 sq ft) | $2,200 – $3,800 |
| Fiberglass batt replacement (existing attic) | $2,500 – $4,500 |
| Full attic cleanup and re-insulation | $3,000 – $5,500 |
| Open-cell spray foam (attic roofline, 1,000 sq ft) | $4,000 – $7,000 |
| Closed-cell spray foam (attic roofline, 1,000 sq ft) | $6,500 – $9,500 |
| Spray foam wall injection (exterior walls, pier-and-beam) | $3,500 – $6,000 |
| Rim joist sealing and insulation | $900 – $1,800 |
| Radiant barrier retrofit (attic underside of roof deck) | $1,500 – $2,800 |
Two things push Boerne pricing higher than a flat suburban quote: attics with bat guano or limestone dust that need cleanup before installation, and pier-and-beam homes where access means crawling under the house to air-seal from below. Whatever the number, you’ll have it in writing before anyone touches a rafter, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we fix it.

Most Boerne HOAs regulate exterior appearance, not attic contents, so the product choice is usually ours to make based on the home’s construction. Historic district homes near Main Street can have additional review for exterior changes, but attic-only insulation work rarely triggers that. We’ll flag any concerns before we start, never after the invoice.
