Insulation contractor in Irving, TX - cooler upstairs rooms, sealed attics
Steadfast Dallas Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor working in Irving, TX. We seal attic gaps first, then add spray foam or blown-in insulation, and we handle crawl spaces, walls and old insulation removal.
Irving houses, from low attics to bonus rooms
Irving sits right next to Dallas, so it's close to home for us, and the calls we get here usually start in the attic. The city mixes older single-story houses that have low, tight attics with newer two-story homes that have a bonus room over the garage. There's also plenty of rental property around Las Colinas, where landlords and property managers want the work done without a fuss for their tenants.
It's the same work we do in Grand Prairie and on the far side of Dallas in Mesquite. On the older houses here, the roof comes down low at the eaves, so that's where coverage usually ends up thinnest and where our crew slows down.
What we find in Irving attics and rooms
Most Irving calls start with a hot upstairs, a drafty room or a power bill that jumped. When I climb into the attic, the cause is usually one of these.
Dallas-Fort Worth averages about 20 days a year at 100 degrees, so an attic with thin coverage pushes that heat into the rooms below.
Older Irving attics often hold a few settled inches of insulation, and a roof leak or critters may have ruined part of it.
The room over the garage runs hot and cold because the garage below it and the attic around it aren't conditioned.
Many attics here hold the AC unit and ductwork, which decides whether foam or a sealed top-up of loose fill makes more sense.
What's up there now, whether it comes out and how easy the attic is to reach set your price and schedule, which I write up when I come out.

Insulation services we offer in Irving
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam seals and insulates in one pass, and it costs more, so I recommend it where the payoff is real, not on every Irving house.
Attic insulation
Hot upstairs rooms in Irving usually trace back to the attic, so we bring the thin edges up to match the middle and keep the eave vents clear.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation, loose fill we blow through a hose, is usually the best value for bringing an older Irving attic back up to depth once it's sealed.
Home insulation
When the whole house runs uneven, we look at the attic, walls, crawl space and room over the garage together and fix them in the right order.
Insulation removal
Old insulation soaked by a roof leak or full of droppings comes out before anything new goes in, or the problem just stays underneath it.
Crawl space insulation
On Irving houses with a crawl space, cold floors in winter usually mean the underside is bare or the old insulation has sagged loose, and we fix that.
Wall insulation
Some older Irving walls have little or nothing in them, and we can fill them through small holes that get patched, without tearing out the drywall.
Air sealing services
Air sealing closes the gaps around outlets, pipes, door frames and the wall shared with the garage, so drafty rooms stop pulling in outside air.
Basement insulation
Basements are rare in Irving, but when a house or building has one, we insulate the walls so the space stays closer to the temperature upstairs.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is the dense, hard kind that keeps moisture out, so we use it in crawl spaces and tight spots where a thin layer has to work.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is the softer, lighter kind, and it's our usual pick for the underside of the roof when the ductwork sits in the attic.
Commercial insulation
Offices, shops and apartment buildings in Irving need the work scheduled around people, and we plan it so tenants and staff can go about their day.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A crawl space vapor barrier, a heavy plastic sheet laid over the dirt, keeps ground moisture out of the floor framing and the insulation above it.
Vapor barrier installation
Outside the crawl space, we install vapor barriers where a wall or ceiling actually needs one, because one in the wrong spot traps moisture instead of stopping it.
Attic air sealing
Before any insulation goes in your attic, we seal around can lights, pipes, wires and the hatch, because loose fill can't stop air moving through a gap.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit work adds insulation to a house you already live in, so we plan the access, the mess and the order before anyone climbs into the attic.

Why Irving homeowners and landlords call us
I learned insulation doing upkeep for a property management company, crawling through attics in buildings full of tenants. I started this business in 2017 to do the work the way I wished it had been done.
Sealing first, insulating second
I've cleaned up after plenty of insulation laid over a leak or bad wiring, which only hides the problem. We make sure those are fixed and the gaps are sealed before anything new goes in.
Told if the job isn't needed
We're licensed and insured. Satisfaction guaranteed. If your attic is already in good shape, I'll say so, because I'd rather tell you a job isn't needed than sell you one.
The person who quotes checks the work
I come out to look at the job and write the estimate myself, and I check the crew's install before we call it done. Call (214) 706-4099 to set up the visit.
Irving insulation questions we hear most
How much does attic insulation cost in Irving, TX?
The cost of an Irving attic job turns on three things: how much insulation is already up there, whether old or damaged material has to come out first, and whether you choose foam or loose fill. Removal adds labor and disposal, and foam costs more than a sealed top-up. I'll give you your own number in the written estimate after I've been in the attic.
Do I need a permit to insulate my attic in Irving?
Check with the city before work starts, because Irving's list of permit-free work names finish work like painting, tiling and carpeting, not insulation. The building official, who heads the city's Department of Inspections, issues building permits. We check with that office before we start, and when a job needs a permit, we handle the application and the inspections.
How do I check if an electrician is licensed in Texas before insulating my Irving attic?
Look them up on TDLR's license search, which shows whether a person or business holds a current license. TDLR is the state agency that licenses electricians and air conditioning contractors. It matters here because I won't bury bad wiring or a leaking duct, so if I find either in your attic, a licensed electrician or AC contractor should fix it before we insulate.
What causes upstairs rooms to stay hot in Irving homes?
Usually it's hot attic air leaking down through gaps around lights, vents and the hatch, on top of insulation that's thin or settled at the edges. Ductwork in the attic makes it worse, since the cool air warms up before it reaches the room. We find and seal the gaps first, then fix the coverage.
What is the best way to insulate an Irving attic, spray foam or blown-in?
For most Irving attics, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in insulation is the better buy, because it does the job for less. Spray foam costs more but seals air while it insulates, so I recommend it when the ductwork and AC unit live in the attic. With foam, everyone in the house, pets included, stays out until the re-entry time, when it's safe to come back in, and I'll go over that with you before we start.
How do I check flood risk before insulating a crawl space in Irving?
Look up your address in FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer, the federal flood data that helps homeowners understand their level of flood risk and the type of flooding they could face. Either way, we check your crawl space for standing water and wet soil before anything goes down, because insulation under a floor that floods just holds the water.
