Insulation contractor services in Tyler, TX
Elite Tyler Spray Foam Insulation offers 16 insulation services in Tyler, TX, for drafty rooms, a hot upstairs, cold floors and a high power bill. The price and the schedule mostly turn on how much space we're covering, whether old insulation has to come out first and whether you choose spray foam or blown-in fill. Your on-site estimate lays out your options.
Spray foam insulation
We spray foam onto the underside of the roof deck or into walls, so it insulates and seals air in one pass and fills gaps loose fill can't reach.
Attic insulation
If the upstairs bedrooms run hot or the power bill keeps climbing, we check what's already in the attic and bring it to an even depth, edges included.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is loose fill we blow through a hose across the attic floor, a practical way to top up thin or settled insulation once the gaps are sealed.
Home insulation
For a house that's drafty in some rooms and stuffy in others, we look at the attic, walls and crawl space together and fix them in the right order.
Insulation removal
We pull out old insulation that's soaked, matted or full of droppings, because new material laid on top of it just keeps the problem in your attic.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors usually mean the crawl space insulation is missing or sagging, so we insulate under the floor or around the crawl space walls to stop the chill.
Wall insulation
We add insulation to exterior walls, blowing it into closed walls through small holes we patch afterward, or filling open framing during a remodel or addition.
Air sealing services
Air sealing closes the gaps that leak air, and we track them down through the whole house, from outlets and plumbing holes to duct chases and the room over the garage.
Basement insulation
We insulate basement walls and the rim joist, the wooden band that sits on the foundation, so a finished or unfinished basement stays more comfortable and less drafty.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is a dense spray foam that blocks moisture as well as heat, so it suits crawl spaces, rim joists and walls where dampness is a worry.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is a softer, lighter spray foam that expands into odd-shaped cavities and dampens noise, so it often goes under roof decks and in walls between rooms.
Commercial insulation
We insulate and seal offices, shops, rental buildings and small commercial spaces for owners and landlords who want the work done carefully around tenants and business hours.
Crawl space vapor barrier
If the crawl space smells musty or the dirt stays damp, we lay a heavy plastic vapor barrier over the ground to keep that moisture away from the floor framing.
Vapor barrier installation
On new construction, additions and remodels, we install vapor barriers where the design calls for one, on the correct side so moisture doesn't get trapped in the framing.
Attic air sealing
Before new insulation goes in, we seal the attic floor around can lights, pipes, wiring and the hatch, so a draft isn't blowing straight through the fresh layer.
Retrofit insulation
Older houses often have empty walls and a thin attic, so we add insulation through the attic, the crawl space and small wall openings without tearing anything apart.
Why homeowners in Tyler call us
See what's in your attic
I walk the attic or crawl space with you and explain what I find in plain words, so you understand your house before you decide.
We start with what you've noticed
I ask which rooms run hot or drafty before I go up, because what you've lived with tells me where to look first.
Safety checks before we start
Before we seal or insulate, we check the wiring, can lights and vents up there, so nothing that needs air or access gets buried.
Other trades first, if needed
If a roofer or a mold company needs to go first, I'll tell you up front instead of covering the problem with fresh insulation.
City permits filed for you
When a city asks for a permit, we file it and set up the inspections, and if it's unclear, we check with that city before starting.
Told when yours is fine
If your insulation is doing its job, I'll say so, because I'd rather earn your trust than sell you work you don't need.
Tell us what you've noticed at home, and send us a few details or call (903) 508-0953.
Tell us what's going on with your attic, walls or crawl space
Send the address and what you've noticed, like a hot upstairs or cold floors, and we'll get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out. The estimate is free, and there's no obligation. The address helps because city rules apply inside city limits, so we can check what your job needs before we start.

Your insulation questions answered
How much does insulation cost in Tyler, TX?
The cost depends on how much attic, wall or crawl space we're covering, what's up there now and which material you pick, so I can't give a fair number until I've seen the house. Removing old insulation adds to the job, spray foam costs more than blown-in, and an attic that only needs sealing and a top-up usually costs the least. Call (903) 508-0953 and we'll set a time to look.
Is spray foam worth the extra cost over blown-in insulation in an attic?
Usually not on a plain attic floor, because sealing the gaps and topping up blown-in insulation does most of the work for less money. Foam earns its price when your ductwork or air handler sits up in the attic, since spraying the roofline seals and insulates that whole space at once.
How long does attic insulation take, and when can we go back inside?
It depends on the size of the attic, whether old insulation has to come out first and how much sealing it needs, and I'll tell you what to plan for once I've seen it. With blown-in, you can usually stay home while we work. Spray foam has a re-entry time, a wait before people and pets come back in, and we'll tell you when to leave and when it's safe to return.
Is your insulation company licensed and insured?
Yes, Elite Tyler Spray Foam Insulation is licensed and insured. In Tyler, the city has contractors register for its permit system with copies of their licenses and a certificate of insurance, so it's fair to ask any company you're considering whether they're set up to pull permits there.
Do you remove old insulation before adding new?
Only when it's damaged. Insulation that's been soaked by a leak or fouled by rodents comes out first. Dry, clean insulation stays where it is, and we build on it, so you're not paying to haul out material that still works.
Do you guarantee your insulation work?
Yes, and we put it in four words, "Your satisfaction, guaranteed." If something about the finished job doesn't sit right with you, tell me and we'll talk it through.
How can I tell if attic insulation was installed right?
Look for even depth all the way out to the edges, clear vents along the eaves and sealed gaps around the hatch and can lights. Insulation piled deep in the middle and thin at the edges is backward, and vents buried under fill keep the attic from breathing, which lets moisture show up in the framing.
Do I need a permit to insulate a house in Tyler, TX?
It depends on the job, and the City of Tyler's permit list doesn't name insulation on its own, so we check with the city's Development & Planning office before we start. The city does require a permit to replace sheetrock even when no walls change, which can come up on wall work. City rules apply inside city limits, and you can check your address on SmithCountyMapSite.org.

How a job goes with us
Call or send a message
Call (903) 508-0953 or use our contact form to tell us what you've noticed, whether it's a hot upstairs, the room over the garage or a power bill that keeps creeping up. We reply to every call and message within one business day and set a time for me to come out.
Look at it together
I come out myself and go through the attic, walls or crawl space with you, taking photos so you can see what I'm seeing. I check for anything that has to be fixed first, then write up your options in plain words. The estimate is free, and there's no obligation to go ahead.
Seal first, then insulate
Once you pick an option, our installers handle the prep and sealing before anything else, because new insulation over open gaps would just be fighting a draft. Then the insulation goes in, and we clean up the attic, the hatch and any rooms we walked through before we call it done.
Walk the finished job
Before we pack up, I check the work with our installers. Then I walk the finished job with you, pointing out the sealed gaps, the depth at the edges and the clear vents, so you know what you paid for and why it went in the order it did.
