Insulation Company in Schertz, TX
Schertz homeowners call us for one consistent reason: their attic insulation was built for a milder climate than the one we actually live in. Summer attic temperatures here regularly climb past 140°F, and that heat doesn’t stay in the attic. It radiates down into bedrooms and living spaces, forcing AC systems to run harder and bills to climb. Whether you’re in a 1980s ranch off Borgfeld Road or a 2010s subdivision east of I-35, the fix starts with an honest look at what’s above your ceiling. Call (361) 213-9499 and we’ll schedule that look, with a written price before any work begins.
Why Schertz Homes Are Different
Schertz has two distinct housing generations, and each fails in its own way. The 1970s through 1990s ranches that cluster near the historic downtown and along FM 1518 were insulated with fiberglass batts that have settled and compressed over 30 to 50 years. What started as R-30 often performs closer to R-19 now, and many of these homes never had a radiant barrier installed at all. On the east side, the 2000s and 2010s subdivisions were built to code minimums – which means production-grade batts that meet the letter of the requirement but underperform in a Hill Country summer. Both housing types share the same symptom: upstairs rooms that run 8 to 12 degrees warmer than downstairs from June through September.
One thing our techs see regularly in neighborhoods west of I-35: ceiling drywall cracks that homeowners assume mean foundation trouble. The homes here sit on expansive clay soil, so that concern is understandable. But more often than not, the cracks trace back to attic insulation that has compressed and shifted, changing the thermal load on the ceiling assembly. Topping off the attic and restoring proper coverage usually stops the problem from spreading. It’s the kind of local diagnosis you only get from someone who has crawled through a few hundred Schertz attics.
Our Main Schertz Services
Most Schertz insulation calls come down to two situations: an attic that’s underfilled or settled, and a homeowner who wants to stop heat gain at the source. Here’s what those jobs look like in this city.
Attic Insulation in Schertz
The classic Schertz attic insulation job involves removing or topping off settled batts and bringing the whole attic up to a consistent R-value. Many of the older homes near the historic district still have original insulation from the 1980s, and that material has lost most of its loft. In newer subdivisions, we’re often adding a second layer over code-minimum batts to get the thermal performance the original builder skipped. Radiant barrier is frequently part of the conversation here, because our afternoon sun is brutal and every degree we keep out of the attic is a degree that never reaches your thermostat. See Attic Insulation in Schertz for the full breakdown of materials, R-values, and local pricing.
Spray Foam Insulation in Schertz
Spray foam earns its keep in Schertz by sealing the attic against both radiant heat and humid air infiltration. When closed-cell foam is applied to the roofline, it turns the attic into a semi-conditioned space, which changes how your entire cooling system performs. We use Spray Foam Insulation in Schertz on homes where homeowners are tired of temperature swings, and on attic conversions where traditional batts just won’t fit the roofline geometry. It’s also the right call for rim joist sealing in older ranch homes, where airflow through the band board quietly robs efficiency year-round.
Blown In Insulation in Schertz
Blown-in insulation – loose fibers blown into the attic cavity to fill every gap – suits a lot of Schertz attics because it conforms to irregular joist spacing and gets into corners that batts leave exposed. For older ranches where the attic has settled unevenly, this is often the most practical way to bring coverage back to a consistent depth. We blow either fiberglass or cellulose depending on the home, and the process goes fast: most Schertz attics are done in a morning. Full details, including cost per square foot, are on the Blown In Insulation in Schertz page.

What moves the price in Schertz is attic depth and current condition. A 1980s ranch with settled batts and no radiant barrier takes more prep and material than a 2015 home that just needs a top-off. That’s exactly why we put the price in writing before any work starts – you’ll know the number for your specific attic, not a generic quote. Call (361) 213-9499 and we’ll walk you through the estimate at no charge.
