We're an insulation contractor based right here in Longview, sealing and insulating attics, walls and crawl spaces for folks tired of a hot upstairs, cold floors and a power bill that keeps climbing.
(903) 309-1886
I got into this trade doing weekend jobs for neighbors around Longview, blowing insulation into attics and sealing up drafty houses, and in 2013 it turned into my full-time work. Most of our calls come from homeowners with uneven rooms and bills that don't make sense for the size of the house.
The houses here run the whole range. In older homes we usually find a thin, settled layer up top and a crawl space nobody's looked at in years, while in newer subdivisions it's more often the room over the garage that never feels right. We also get calls from business owners with shops and metal buildings, which are a different animal from a house attic.
Send the form or call, and you'll hear back within one business day, a lot of the time from me. I'll come out to your Longview house, look at the attic and whatever else is bothering you, and write an estimate that spells out which areas and which materials the job covers. It's free, and there's no obligation to hire us.
(903) 309-1886Most of our work here starts in the attic with air sealing, which is closing the gaps around lights, pipes and the hatch before anything else goes in, then blown-in insulation, loose fill blown through a hose to an even depth. When the old stuff up there is soaked or full of droppings, we pull it out first, because new insulation over a mess only hides it. For crawl spaces, walls, the room over the garage and shops or metal buildings, we also do spray foam insulation, including closed-cell foam, a dense foam that blocks moisture along with heat.
Building permits in Longview come from the city's Development Services department, and the city wants a permit paid for before it goes into review, so if your job needs one, the clock starts once that's done. Contractors the city regulates register with that same office, so that's where you can check on anyone you're thinking of hiring, including an electrician or air conditioning tech your job might bring in, who needs a current state license and insurance on file there. Before we start, I check with the city on what your job asks for, and if a permit's needed we handle it as part of our work and tell you up front.
The price moves with how many inches are already up there, whether old insulation has to come out, how many gaps need sealing and how tight the attic is to crawl around in, and foam costs more than loose fill. The schedule turns on the permit, if there is one, and on whether removal comes first, and your estimate lays out which areas and materials are in the job so you can see what you're paying for. Some Longview roads and underpasses go under in a flash flood, so on those days we'd rather push a start than tow a trailer through it. We're based here and do the same work in White Oak and Kilgore, so if you're just outside town, the visit works the same way.
Fresh insulation laid over a leak, a soaked layer or a nest hides the problem, so we work in order. Old material comes out if it has to, the gaps get sealed, and only then does new insulation go in, at full depth all the way to the edges.
I come out to look at the job and write the estimate myself, and our own crew lead and installers do the work. Plenty of folks have never set foot in their own attic, so I'll tell you what's up there and what isn't worth paying for.
We're licensed and fully insured, and this has been my full-time work since 2013, after starting out with weekend jobs for neighbors. Satisfaction guaranteed. If your upstairs runs hot or your floors run cold, call (903) 309-1886 or send the form and we'll set up a visit.
The cost comes down to how much is already up there, whether old insulation has to come out, how many gaps need sealing and which material you pick, so I'd rather see it than guess over the phone. Spray foam costs more and seals air while it insulates, but for most attics, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in is the better buy unless your ductwork runs up there. The estimate puts it all in writing, area by area.
I start by going up there and checking how many inches you already have, whether any of it is damp or full of droppings, and where air's sneaking through around can lights, pipes and the hatch. Our crew then works in that order, removal if it's needed, sealing next, then new insulation at full depth out to the edges instead of piled in the middle. We keep the eave vents clear so the attic can still breathe, because a buried vent traps moisture in the framing.
Usually not for air sealing and blown-in work, and most folks go about their day downstairs. Spray foam is different because it comes with a re-entry time, the wait before people and pets can come back inside. I'll tell you what that wait is for your job before we put it on the calendar.
If you're pulling a homestead exempt permit yourself, you contact the city's building staff in person or by phone, since the online permit portal is built for contractors and licensed trades. Every permit has to be paid for before the city processes it and sends it to review. When we do the job, we check with the city first and take care of any permit it needs.
Call Development Services, because contractors the city regulates have to register there before they apply for any permit or start work. They re-register every year by the date their state license or insurance runs out. Residential contractor registration also calls for a surety bond of at least $25,000.00 with the city named as the certificate holder.
The city's updated building codes took effect July 1, 2026, and it kept the 2015 energy code, the one that covers insulation, as it was. The city's building inspection staff give homeowners and contractors the code requirements before a permit is issued, and we build to what the city has on the books for your job.
Check the interactive FEMA flood map on the city's floodplain page, which shows floodplain and floodway areas and marks properties with past flood mitigation determinations. The city's Floodplain Administrator reviews construction in or next to those areas. For us it mostly means a closer look at the crawl space, since insulation that's been wet has to come out before anything new goes in.
