Insulation Company in Dallas, TX
Dallas attics aren’t like attics anywhere else in Texas. A 105°F August day pushes a dark shingle roof to 140°F or more, and that heat doesn’t just sit up there. It radiates down through the ceiling for hours after sunset, which is why so many Dallas homeowners call us about second-floor bedrooms that never cool off. Alden Insulation Dallas handles attic insulation, blown-in insulation, and insulation removal for homes across the city, and every job starts with a written price before we touch a tool. Call (940) 748-1726 and you’ll reach a real person, not a voicemail.
Why Dallas Homes Are Different
Dallas is built for heat, but rarely insulated for it. Most of the city’s housing stock is 1970s through 2000s single-family subdivisions: wood-frame construction, brick veneer, and large vented attics that were never designed for the summers we get now. The original fiberglass batts in those attics have settled, shifted, or been trampled flat by decades of HVAC service calls. What’s left often tests at R-19 or worse in a climate that really needs R-38 to R-49 at the attic floor.
The 1980s and 90s left us with thousands of “Dallas-style” two-story homes with cathedral ceilings over the family room or primary bedroom. Those sloped ceiling cavities are notoriously under-insulated, and they’re a big reason upstairs rooms run 15 to 20 degrees hotter than downstairs. In older neighborhoods like Highland Park, University Park, and Lakewood, 1920s through 50s pier-and-beam homes frequently have zero wall insulation and only a thin layer of original rock wool overhead. The sun’s load on those dark asphalt shingle roofs is relentless, and the fix isn’t just adding R-value. It’s addressing radiant heat and airflow at the same time.
Our Main Dallas Services
Dallas homeowners call us most about two things: upgrading an attic that’s underperforming, and pulling out old or damaged material so a clean install can happen. Here’s what each job looks like here.
Attic Insulation in Dallas
Attic work in Dallas starts with an honest look at what’s already up there. We check the existing R-value, look for compressed batts around registers and recessed lights, and measure how the attic is venting. In this climate, a proper attic insulation job often means air sealing first, then bringing the floor up to R-38 or higher with material suited to a vented attic. We install products from CertainTeed and Owens Corning, among others, so you can research exactly what’s going in before we start. Read more about Attic Insulation in Dallas.
Blown In Insulation in Dallas
Blown-in is the workhorse for Dallas attics because it settles into every odd corner, around trusses, and over existing batts without leaving the seams and gaps that plague rolled insulation. For older Dallas homes with low attic clearance or pier-and-beam construction, blown-in fiberglass or cellulose is often the fastest way to reach proper depth. We use equipment that meters the material evenly, and we document the final depth so you know what R-value you paid for. Learn more about Blown In Insulation in Dallas.
Insulation Removal in Dallas
Removal in Dallas usually follows one of two things: a roof leak or a hailstorm that left wet, matted insulation that’s now breeding mold, or a rodent problem that’s left droppings and tunnels throughout the attic floor. We remove the old material completely, sanitize where needed, and prep the space for new insulation. It’s dirty work, and it’s the step a lot of contractors skip. Getting the old material out properly is the only way to give a new install a clean start. Read Insulation Removal in Dallas.

Prices in Dallas run higher when the attic is difficult to access, when a home has cathedral ceilings, or when old material needs to come out first. Two-story homes with steep roof pitches also add labor. Whatever the number is, it’s the number on the invoice. We put the price in writing before work starts, and we don’t revise it at the door.
