Insulation Company in Irving, TX
Most Irving homes were built between the 1960s and early 2000s, and many carry original R-11 to R-19 fiberglass batts in the attic. That level of insulation was code acceptable decades ago, but it falls far short of what a Texas attic needs. We’re Alden Attic Insulation, part of the Garrison Partners family since 2002, and we serve Irving homeowners with attic insulation, blown-in insulation, and insulation removal. Every job includes a written price before work starts and a 365-day written guarantee. Call us at (940) 748-1726 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Irving Homes Are Different
Irving’s housing stock is dominated by single-family tract homes on slab-on-grade foundations, with heavy brick veneer and a large share of two-story layouts. The east and central neighborhoods, built mostly from the 1960s through the 1980s, tend to have thin or compressed attic insulation. Many of these attics originally got R-11 to R-19 fiberglass batts, and decades of North Texas heat have not been kind to them. The city’s clay soil also shifts with moisture cycles, and that movement transfers through the slab and framing. When a house flexes, ceiling drywall and attic framing flex with it, which loosens batt contact and opens air gaps at top plates and chase penetrations.
Then there’s the climate. Irving summers run long and humid, and the attic is where that heat loads the house first. Insulation is not just about staying comfortable; it’s about controlling moisture. Poorly ventilated attics with low R-value insulation encourage condensation on ducts and ceiling surfaces. We see this pattern often in Irving attics where insulation has settled below the top of the ceiling joists. That gap lets conditioned air leak upward and attic heat leak downward. The fix is usually a combination of air sealing and brought-up-to-code insulation, not a simple top-off.
Our Main Irving Services
These are the three services Irving homeowners call us for most. Each has its own Irving page with full detail, pricing, and what to expect on the job.
Attic Insulation in Irving
Older Irving attics often have fiberglass batts that have compacted over time or been disturbed by homeowner storage, HVAC work, or wildlife. We remove or supplement the existing material, air seal the penetrations, and bring the attic to a true, verifiable R-value. In Irving’s climate, attics need more than the code minimum to handle July and August heat. We install products from brands like Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and Rockwool, and we write down exactly what product and depth you’re getting before the job starts. See Attic Insulation in Irving for a full breakdown.
Blown In Insulation in Irving
Blown-in fiberglass and cellulose work well in Irving’s irregular attic cavities, around trusses, and over existing batts that have settled. In Valley Ranch and Las Colinas, many attics have original blown-in fiberglass that has compacted to below the top of the ceiling joists. That means the insulation is still there, but it is not doing its job. We blow new material to a measured depth and density, with a written R-value target. We work with Johns Manville, GreenFiber, and Knauf products. Details are on the Blown In Insulation in Irving page.
Insulation Removal in Irving
Rodent activity, roof leaks, and old blown-in material that has absorbed years of humidity all call for full removal before new insulation goes in. Irving’s clay soil movement means small roof and soffit gaps open over time, and that is how moisture and pests get into the attic. We remove the old material, clean the cavity, and prepare the space for new insulation. We do not leave a mess in the house or the attic. For a step-by-step description of how removal is done in Irving homes, visit Insulation Removal in Irving.

Pricing for Insulation Company in Irving, TX
Irving pricing depends on square footage, current insulation depth, and whether removal or air sealing is needed. Here are the ranges we quote most often in Irving.
| Service | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Attic insulation – full attic, standard 1,500 – 2,000 sq ft home | $1,800 – $3,200 |
| Attic insulation – attic top-off over existing batts | $900 – $1,800 |
| Blown-in insulation – full attic | $1,600 – $2,900 |

| Radiant barrier – attic underside of roof deck | $1,500 – $2,800 |
What pushes the price up in Irving is access. Two-story homes with steep rooflines or tight attic hatches take longer to move material through. Slab-on-grade construction means attic access is often in a hallway or closet ceiling, and that limits the equipment we can use. Whatever your quote is, it is written down before any work starts, and the number on the invoice matches the number you approved.

HOA rules in Irving mostly apply to exterior changes like roofing, not attic insulation. If your project touches anything visible from the street, we will confirm the requirements with your association before we start.
