Insulation for McAllen homes, from downtown to North McAllen
McAllen started as a railroad townsite and was incorporated in 1911. The blocks around Main Street, Archer Park and Las Palmas hold some of the oldest houses in the city. Many were built long before any energy code, and the attics often have a thin, settled layer of insulation, or nothing at all over a later addition.
North of Expressway 83, most of the city is brick and stucco homes on slab foundations, plus newer two story houses on the north side. Those homes usually got the code minimum of their day. When a McAllen attic reaches 130 to 150 degrees on a summer afternoon, that minimum shows up as a hot back bedroom and an AC that never shuts off. We start in the attic, check the ducts and air leaks, and put the price in writing. Our crew is bilingual. Hablamos español.

Is spray foam or blown in better for my McAllen attic?
- Blown in on the attic floor is the simpler upgrade for most homes.
