Talk through your spray foam job
We take calls at (915) 265-1142 every day until 10 PM, so you can ask about foam after work, before anyone climbs into your attic.
Is spray foam the right insulation for your El Paso house?
Spray foam insulation in El Paso is foam we spray from liquid ingredients, fed by hose, onto your attic roofline, walls or crawl space, where it seals air leaks and insulates in the same coat.
Most people call us when upstairs stays hot, the room over the garage never feels right, or the power bill keeps climbing. Foam costs more than loose fill, so your price turns on which foam you pick, how much area we cover, how thick it goes and anything I find that has to be fixed first, like a roof leak or bad wiring. The schedule turns on those repairs, your time out of the house while the foam sets, and the weather around the day we spray. My written estimate lists each step, so you can see where your money goes before you decide.
Why El Paso homeowners call Wraptight for spray foam
I look at every job myself
I come out to every job and write the estimate, and our installers do the work. I check it before we leave, a habit from the municipal crew where I learned this trade.
Licensed, insured and local
We're licensed and insured. I started this business in El Paso in 2023 to bring the same written-up, checked work I did on city buildings to homes and small commercial buildings.
Right office for your address
We work across El Paso and the cities around it, on both sides of the Texas and New Mexico line, and the rules differ from place to place. I check your address with the right office before we plan anything.
On a foam job, the order matters most, because whatever's wrong gets fixed before anything is sealed over it. When you're ready, send us a few details or call (915) 265-1142.
How we install spray foam insulation
I start by going through the attic, walls or crawl space and noting anything that has to be fixed first, because foam over a leak, bad wiring or an open gap just seals the problem in. Then we pick open or closed cell together, and I walk you through what each one gives up so you choose for your space and not on price alone. We ask who in the house has asthma or allergies before we book, and we give you the foam maker's stated time before anyone moves back in. On the day, our crew covers what shouldn't get foam, sprays to the depth on the estimate, trims it back and cleans up.
Foam isn't always the answer, and I'll tell you when it isn't. If your ductwork doesn't run through the attic, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in insulation usually does the job for less. When foam goes on only part of the house, like the room over the garage, we can bring the rest of your attic insulation up to match so one room isn't doing all the work.
Open-cell foam
A light, spongy foam with tiny open pockets that fills a roofline or wall cavity in one pass and leaves room to dry. It suits attics and walls where you have depth to work with and want to keep the cost down.
Closed-cell foam
Dense foam that blocks moisture as well as heat. It suits tight spots like the room over the garage, rim joists and crawl spaces, where you need the most out of every inch.
How do you know your house could use spray foam?
Upstairs stays hot
The bedrooms upstairs stay warm long after sunset while downstairs cools off. Heat is usually getting through a thin or gappy attic, and every month you wait, the AC runs longer to keep up.
The room over the garage
It's always the hottest or coldest room in the house. The floor and walls over a garage often have little insulation and plenty of gaps, and the room won't fix itself.
Drafts and cold floors
You feel air moving at outlets, baseboards or the attic hatch. That's air getting through gaps that loose insulation alone doesn't stop, and the leak shows up on every heating and cooling bill.
A power bill that climbs
Your bill keeps rising though your habits haven't changed. Old insulation may have settled or been damaged, and the longer it sits, the more you pay to heat and cool air that slips out.
What happens when you call about spray foam?
Call or send the form
I come out myself and go through the attic, crawl space or walls. You get a written estimate that lists each step, including anything that has to be fixed first.
Our crew sprays the foam
Our installers work from that list, and the house stays empty while we spray. Leave room near the driveway, because the spray rig parks close to the house.
I check and walk it
I check the work before the crew leaves. Once the foam maker's time for moving back in has passed, I walk the finished foam with you and answer what's left.
Spray foam questions we hear most
These are the questions El Paso homeowners ask most about spray foam. If yours isn't here, call or send the form, and I'll go over it for your house at the estimate.
How much does spray foam insulation cost in El Paso, TX?
Spray foam covering 1,000 square feet at 3 inches thick usually costs about $1,700 to $4,200 per job in El Paso. That's the going range in town, not our quote, with open-cell toward the low end and closed-cell toward the high end. Your area, depth and any repairs set where your job lands, and my written estimate lists each step.
What is the best way to choose between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam?
Pick closed-cell when you want the most heat resistance from each inch, and open-cell when you'd rather have quieter rooms or a foam that can dry out and flex. Closed-cell is about twice as energy efficient per inch, which is part of why it costs more, while open-cell is a much better sound barrier.
How long does it take before we can move back in after spray foam?
You come back once the foam maker's stated time for moving back in has passed, and industry guidance says you need to be out of the house while we spray. Some makers recommend 24 hours after spraying, but it varies by product. We give you your product's time when we book, so you can plan for the kids and pets.
Is spray foam insulation safe if someone in my house has asthma?
It can be, but anyone with asthma, breathing allergies, skin conditions or a past reaction to isocyanates, the chemicals in the foam, should read the product details before you book. Federal safety guidance says they may want to consider another insulation. We ask about it up front, and if foam isn't a good fit, sealing gaps and loose fill is the usual alternative.
Can I spray foam my attic if my furnace or water heater is up there?
Not without planning first, if the equipment burns fuel and draws its air from the attic. One foam maker's retrofit guide says ordinary combustion appliances can't run safely in an unvented attic, one sealed at the roofline with no vents, and calls for sealed-combustion or power-vented, high-efficiency units instead. Tell us what's up there when you call so we plan for it before any foam goes on.
Who handles building permits for insulation work in El Paso?
In El Paso, building permits go through the city's One Stop Shop, which handles permits to build, alter or repair a building. I check your job address with the right office, and when a permit applies, we take care of the application and the inspections. The city also names the International Energy Conservation Code as its energy code, so ask us how your foam job fits it.
