Hurst’s mid-century ranch and split-level homes need a different approach than newer construction.

Our Spray Foam Insulation team brings the right foam, the right prep work, and a cleanup standard that leaves your hallway cleaner than we found it.

Rim Joist Spray Foam in Hurst
Rim joist spray foam in Hurst is the most cost-effective first step for ranch homes built on slab foundations, where the band board around the perimeter of the house leaks conditioned air and lets hot, humid outside air into the floor system. We apply low-pressure closed-cell foam directly to the rim joist and band board, sealing the gap between the foundation and the first floor. In Hurst’s humid summers, this also blocks the moisture path that leads to mold behind the band board, especially in homes with exterior brick veneer that holds rainwater against the sill.
Most Hurst rim joist jobs run $700 – $1,400 and finish in half a day. You’ll have your exact written number before we start.
When Your Rim Joist Needs It
Walk past an exterior wall on a hot afternoon and you might feel warm air seeping from the baseboard. That’s the rim joist. In Hurst’s slab-on-grade ranch homes, the band board sits directly against the brick, and over decades the original fiberglass stuffed in that cavity compresses or falls out entirely. Open-cell foam is the wrong product here, because it wicks moisture from that brick contact point. We use closed-cell for every rim joist application in Hurst.
What We Check Before Spraying
Old dusty batt insulation, rodent droppings, and decades of construction debris hide behind the band board. If we spray over that, the foam won’t adhere and you’ll still have air gaps. We remove what’s there, inspect the sill plate for rot, and only then apply foam to a clean surface. That prep work is why our rim joist seals last.
Crawl Space Spray Foam Insulation in Hurst
Crawl space spray foam insulation in Hurst addresses a different set of problems than attic work. Homes built during the 1960s and 1970s in Hurst often have vented crawl spaces that draw in humid air all summer long, making floors cold in winter, damp in spring, and musty year-round. We apply closed-cell spray foam to the crawl space walls and band joists, converting the space from a damp, bug-friendly void into a clean, conditioned buffer under your living areas.
Hurst crawl space projects typically run $2,200 – $4,800 depending on access, square footage, and whether old batt insulation needs removal first. The written price covers everything: removal, disposal, foam application, and cleanup.

Crawl Space Walls vs. Floor
We spray the walls and rim joist, not the underside of the floor. Spraying the floor traps moisture against the joists and invites rot. Sealing the walls and band joists creates a thermal boundary that keeps the entire crawl space stable, which is the right approach for Hurst’s clay-heavy soil that holds water against foundation walls after spring rains.
Vapor Barrier and Air Sealing
Spray foam in a Hurst crawl space works alongside a ground vapor barrier, not instead of one. We inspect your existing barrier, recommend replacement if it’s torn or thin, and seal the foam to the barrier system so moisture from the soil can’t travel up into your floor framing. For families with kids who play on the living room floor, this is the difference between a damp carpet pad and a dry, comfortable home.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
Thistledown Insulation Fort Worth installs eight insulation brands, and for Hurst spray foam work we most often reach for Johns Manville, Demilec, and Icynene closed-cell and open-cell products. Demilec’s closed-cell foam performs well against Hurst’s high humidity because it resists water absorption and maintains its R-value over time. Johns Manville open-cell is our go-to for attic roof decks where the homeowner wants air sealing plus sound dampening between the garage and a bedroom above it. We stock the material locally for fast turnaround on Hurst jobs, so you’re not waiting on a freight shipment from another state.
Common Spray Foam Insulation Problems We See in Hurst Homes
- DIY fiberglass batts stuffed under roof decking. Homeowners in Hurst ranch homes sometimes jam batt insulation against the roof sheathing to “help” with cooling. It traps humidity against the plywood and causes deck rot, especially during the humid spring months. The fix is full removal, air sealing, and proper spray foam application.
- Spray foam applied over old, dusty batt insulation without removal. We see this in split-level homes off Precinct Line Road where a previous contractor cut corners. Foam can’t adhere to dust, and the resulting air gaps make room-temperature differences worse than before. The right sequence is always remove, clean, then spray.
- Open-cell foam on rim joists in slab-on-grade ranch homes. Open-cell absorbs moisture, and in Hurst’s humid summers that moisture wicks from the exterior brick veneer through the sill plate. We’ve found mold behind band boards where open-cell was used. Closed-cell is the only foam we’ll put on a Hurst rim joist.
- Uninsulated attached garages heating up the whole house. Many Hurst homes have an attached garage that shares a wall and ceiling with living space. During a 95-degree July afternoon, that garage becomes an oven that pushes heat into adjacent bedrooms. Spray foam on the garage ceiling and shared walls drops that heat transfer dramatically.
Pricing for Spray Foam Insulation in Hurst, TX
For a Hurst attic, open-cell spray foam on the roof deck typically runs $1,800 – $3,800 depending on roof pitch and square footage. Closed-cell attic applications run higher, $3,200 – $5,200, because the material is denser and the R-value per inch is higher. Rim joist sealing runs $700 – $1,400. Crawl space encapsulation with closed-cell foam runs $2,200 – $4,800. Garage ceiling and wall treatments run $900 – $2,200 depending on whether we’re also treating the shared wall with the house.

FAQs About Spray Foam Insulation in Hurst
Yes, and this is the most common upgrade we do in Hurst. Original R-19 fiberglass from the 1960s and 1970s has typically compressed to an effective R-10 or less, and a dark shingle roof absorbs so much Texas sun that your attic can hit 140 degrees in August. We recommend removing the old batt, air sealing the attic floor, and applying spray foam to bring the ceiling plane to R-38 equivalent or higher. Homes off Bellaire Drive with this exact setup see the fastest temperature improvement. Call (682) 233-8300 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you exactly what your attic needs.
No. We remove the old insulation from the rim joist cavity before spraying. Old fiberglass in Hurst crawl spaces is usually dusty, compressed, and sometimes damp from the humid air that moves through vented crawl spaces all summer. Spray foam won’t adhere to that surface, and leaving it in place means air gaps. Removal and disposal are included in your written price. Call (682) 233-8300 and we’ll walk you through what’s in your crawl space.
Almost certainly, and we’ve seen it many times in Hurst split-levels. The back den in those homes often sits over an uninsulated garage or has a knee wall that opens directly to an unconditioned attic space. We air-seal the rim joist, treat the knee walls, and bring the ceiling plane up to R-38 equivalent with spray foam. On a Bellaire Drive split-level with a dark shingle roof, we reduced a 9-degree swing between front bedrooms and the back den to under 3 degrees. Call (682) 233-8300 for an assessment specific to your floor plan.
Your garage door isn’t the main problem, the uninsulated ceiling and walls are. In a Hurst summer, an attached garage with a metal or dark shingle roof absorbs heat all day and radiates it into the living space for hours after sunset. We spray the garage ceiling and the shared wall with the house, which stops that heat at the boundary. If you use the garage as a workshop, open-cell foam on the ceiling also cuts noise transfer so your family doesn’t hear every saw cut. Call (682) 233-8300 for a garage-specific quote.
Closed-cell spray foam on the rim joist and band board is the starting point for Hurst slab-on-grade ranch homes with brick veneer. The brick holds rainwater against the sill, and closed-cell foam creates a moisture barrier that open-cell can’t provide. From there, we assess the attic and recommend either open-cell or closed-cell based on your roof deck condition and whether the attic is vented. Every Hurst home gets a specific plan, and you’ll see the written price before we begin. Call (682) 233-8300 to schedule an inspection.
