Insulation Before & After in Fort Worth, TX
Before and after photos get to the point faster than any brochure. You’ll see exactly what our crews found in real Fort Worth attics and what they left behind. Loose fiberglass gone, spray foam sealed, baffles cleared, and a cleaner thermal boundary than most homeowners thought possible. Each project below started with a written price before any work started. Every one ended with a photo of the clean-up before we left.

Attic Insulation Removal and Replacement in Southwest Fort Worth
The old fiberglass had compressed to maybe three inches in places, and the homeowner could feel the heat radiating through the hallway ceiling by mid-afternoon. We vacuumed out the old material with a commercial extraction machine, air-sealed the top plates and penetrations, then blew in fresh Owens Corning fiberglass to R-38 across the entire attic floor. The result reads like a different attic entirely. The homeowner told us the upstairs stopped feeling like a slow oven by the following weekend.
Spray Foam Roof Deck in a 1960s Ranch Near TCU
This house had a vented attic so hot that stored boxes were actually warping. The ductwork ran through that heat, which meant the air conditioner was fighting the attic before it ever reached the bedrooms. We applied Icynene open-cell spray foam directly to the underside of the roof deck, converting the attic to a conditioned space. The difference was immediate: duct loss dropped, and the attic stayed within a few degrees of the living space. That is the kind of change you feel in the first week of a Texas August.
Pet-Safe Attic Insulation for a Family in North Fort Worth
The family had two dogs and a cat who spend a lot of time near the attic access in the hallway. We chose a GreenFiber blown-in product where a pet-safe option exists, and we kept the work area sealed with drop cloths from the front door to the attic hatch. Our crew laid the coverage dense and even, hitting R-30 across the entire floor. The family stayed in the house the whole time, and the animals never batted an eye.
Sagging Attic Insulation and Baffle Repair in Wedgwood
In this Wedgwood home, the old batts had slumped down over the soffit vents, cutting off airflow and trapping moisture along the roofline. We pulled the failing material, installed new baffles to keep the ventilation path open, and set Rockwool batts properly across the floor. The result was a dryer attic with steady air movement and an insulation value that actually matches what the label advertises. Moisture problems left unattended get expensive. This one got caught early.
Blown-In Insulation Top-Up in Arlington Heights
This attic had insulation in some bays and almost none in others, a common result of a rushed job years ago. We mapped the depth with a measuring stick, then blew in Johns Manville fiberglass and feathered it until every section read the same. The customer received a written price before we started, and the final number matched that paper exactly. Consistency across the entire attic is the difference between “insulated” and actually insulated.
Small Attic, Big Heat Gain: Spray Foam for a Bungalow Off Camp Bowie
The attic was so small that traditional batts would have been nearly impossible to install cleanly. We used Demilec closed-cell spray foam to seal the roofline and the eaves in one pass, turning a cramped, leaky space into a tight thermal boundary. The homeowner reported a noticeable drop in afternoon heat gain and, as a bonus, less dust working its way down from the attic. Small spaces respond fast when the right product is used.
