Old, matted fiberglass attic insulation with gaps around a can light in a Rio Grande Valley home

Insulation for one of the Valley’s oldest towns

Mercedes was founded in 1907, which makes it one of the oldest towns in the Rio Grande Valley. The streets around Texas Avenue and the original downtown still have houses that were framed decades before anyone talked about R-values. In a lot of them the attic holds a thin, matted layer of old insulation, and some have floors raised off the ground with nothing underneath.

Outside the older core you will find brick and block ranch homes, newer houses on the edges of town, and farm and ranch properties with shops and barns. Each one heats up differently in a Mercedes summer. We look at the attic first, then the walls and floors, and tell you plainly what is worth doing.

  • Free inspection of the attic and any raised floor, with a written estimate
  • Old insulation removed when it is wet, dirty or full of droppings
  • Shops and barns insulated as well as the house
  • Licensed and Insured

Mercedes insulation FAQ

My older Mercedes house has almost nothing in the attic. Where do I start?
  • Start with the attic. It is usually the biggest source of heat and the easiest fix.
  • We check for wet spots, droppings and wiring problems first, then add or replace. See signs you need new insulation.
Should a raised floor be insulated?
  • Often yes. ENERGY STAR recommends R-13 for floors in this climate zone.
  • We check for moisture and venting problems under the house first. Read our pier and beam guide.
Can you insulate a metal barn or shop?
  • Yes. Closed cell spray foam on the metal roof and walls cuts heat and helps stop condensation drips.
  • See our commercial insulation page for metal buildings.
