Insulation work planned before anyone climbs up
Wraptight El Paso Insulation Company is an insulation contractor based in El Paso, TX, and we're licensed and insured. I started the business here in 2023 after learning the trade on a municipal crew, where every job was written up and checked before it was signed off. We now offer 16 insulation services, from attic top-ups to crawl space vapor barriers, for homes and small commercial buildings. You can read more about me and how we work.
Why El Paso calls us for insulation
When you hire an insulation crew, you should know what's going in, why, and in what order before anyone climbs into your attic, and someone should check the work before they leave.
Repairs before insulation
Each job runs in order, repairs first, then air sealing, then insulation, so nothing that should've been fixed ends up buried under new material.
The owner comes out
I look at your attic, crawl space or walls myself and write the estimate, then check our installers' work before we pack up.
Every step in writing
Your written estimate lists each step and what it's for, so you can see what you're paying for before you say yes.
Permits checked by address
El Paso, the county areas and the New Mexico cities each work a little differently, so I check your address with the right office first.

Insulation contractor services in El Paso, TX
Wraptight El Paso Insulation Company is an insulation contractor in El Paso, TX, with 16 services for drafty houses, hot upstairs rooms, cold floors and small commercial buildings. The price mostly turns on how many inches are already in the attic, whether old insulation has to come out, how many gaps need sealing and whether the job calls for foam or loose fill. The schedule turns on any repair that has to come first, from a roof leak to bad wiring, and on whether a permit applies at your address. Your written estimate lists each step and what it's for, so you can see what you're paying for.
Spray foam insulation
We spray foam into rooflines, rim joists and walls, where it seals air and insulates in one pass. It costs more than loose fill, so we use it where that seal matters most.
Learn moreAttic insulation
Is the upstairs hot all summer? We check how many inches are already up there, seal what needs sealing and bring the attic up to an even depth, as thick at the edges as in the middle.
Learn moreBlown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is loose fill we blow through a hose across the attic floor or into closed walls. It's the usual way to top up an attic that has settled thin over the years.
Learn moreHome insulation
For homeowners who want the whole house looked at, we go through the attic, walls and crawl space and write up what each one needs, in the order it should be done.
Learn moreInsulation removal
We vacuum out old insulation that's been ruined by a leak or by animals and clean up after, so the next layer starts on a clean, dry attic floor.
Learn moreCrawl space insulation
Cold floors over a crawl space usually mean the insulation underneath is missing or has fallen down. We insulate the space so the floors feel warmer through the winter.
Learn moreWall insulation
Many older houses have walls with little or no insulation in them. We blow or spray it into those cavities so the rooms hold their heat and their cool longer.
Learn moreAir sealing services
Air sealing means closing the gaps a house leaks through before any insulation goes in. We find and seal them in the attic, crawl space and walls so the insulation isn't fighting a draft.
Learn moreBasement insulation
Have a basement or a below-grade room? We insulate its walls and the rim joist along the top of the foundation so the space holds its temperature.
Learn moreClosed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is a dense spray foam that also blocks moisture. We use it where damp is a concern, like crawl space walls and rim joists.
Learn moreOpen-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is a softer, lighter spray foam that fills odd-shaped spaces and quiets sound. It's a good fit for rooflines and interior walls that stay dry.
Learn moreCommercial insulation
We insulate small commercial buildings for owners and property managers. The written estimate lays out each area and step so it can go straight to whoever approves the work.
Learn moreCrawl space vapor barrier
We lay a heavy plastic sheet across the crawl space floor and up the walls so moisture from the ground stays out of the floor framing.
Learn moreVapor barrier installation
We install vapor barrier in walls, attics and crawl spaces where the house needs one, on the side of the insulation that keeps moisture from getting trapped inside it.
Learn moreAttic air sealing
When an attic is getting new insulation, we first close the holes between the attic and the rooms below. That stops warm air leaking up through the ceiling before the new layer goes down.
Learn moreRetrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation is for an existing home, often an older one, that needs more insulation without tearing into finished rooms. We work through the attic, the crawl space and small wall openings.

How an insulation job runs with us
Call or write
Call us or send the form and tell us what you're noticing, like a hot upstairs, cold floors or a power bill that keeps climbing. We reply within one business day and set a time for me to come look at the house. The estimate is free and there's no obligation.
I look and write it up
I go through the attic, crawl space or walls myself and note how many inches are already there, where the gaps are and anything that has to be fixed first. Then I write an estimate that lists each step and what it's for, so you can decide with the whole picture.
Our crew does the work
On the day of the job, our installers work from that written list in order. Anything that needed fixing is handled first, then the gaps get sealed and the insulation goes in, with the vents along the eaves kept clear so the attic can still breathe.
Final walk-through
Before we pack up, I check the finished work myself and then walk it with you. You see the depth at the edges and in the middle, the sealed gaps and the cleanup, and you can ask about anything before we leave.
Insulation questions we hear most
These are the questions El Paso homeowners ask before they hire an insulation crew. If yours isn't here, call or send us a note about your house.
How much does attic insulation cost in El Paso?
It depends on your attic, so the real number comes from a free on-site estimate, not a guess over the phone. The biggest factors are the attic's size, the inches already up there, how many gaps need sealing and whether you choose loose fill or foam.
Does it cost more to remove old insulation before adding new?
Yes, removal adds to the price because it's its own step, with the old material vacuumed out and the attic cleaned up after. We only take it out when it's soaked, packed flat or full of droppings, since new insulation laid over that just keeps the problem.
How long does it take to insulate an attic, and do we have to leave the house?
It depends on the attic's size and whether old insulation comes out first, and your written estimate will tell you what to plan for. With blown-in work most families stay home. Spray foam is different, because the foam maker sets a re-entry time, when people and pets can come back inside, and we schedule around it.
Do I need a permit to insulate my house in El Paso?
It depends on the work and the address, so I check it with the right office before we start instead of guessing. Inside the city limits, building permits go through the City of El Paso's One Stop Shop, and the city requires them to build, alter or repair a building. The county areas and the New Mexico cities have their own rules, and when a permit applies, we take care of the application and the inspections.
Should air sealing be done before adding attic insulation?
Yes, the gaps get sealed first, because once insulation covers them, air keeps moving through and the new layer ends up fighting a draft. We close the gaps around can lights, pipes, wires and the attic hatch, then insulate. If I find bad wiring, that goes to an electrical contractor licensed by the state before we start.
What if something isn't right after my insulation is installed?
Call us at (915) 265-1142 and tell us what you're noticing, because our promise is "Your satisfaction, guaranteed." Some problems, like a room that still runs warm, can come from ductwork or another trade's work, and I'll tell you plainly when that's the case and what the next step is.
Is spray foam or blown-in insulation better for an attic in El Paso?
For most attics, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in loose fill is the better buy, because foam costs more. Foam earns its price when your ductwork runs through the attic, since sprayed along the roofline it seals the air and puts the ducts inside the insulated space.
What kind of insulation works best for El Paso's hot summers?
A well-sealed attic at full depth does most of the work here, because the same insulation that holds winter heat in keeps summer heat out. Normal June highs in El Paso run around 97°F, so the attic is usually where the upstairs picks up its heat. July through September are the wettest months, which is when a roof leak tends to show up as stained or matted insulation.
