Attics in a fast-growing DFW suburb
Prosper is a town in Collin and Denton counties within the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Many homes are relatively new, but upstairs rooms can still run hot when ducts and the HVAC unit sit in a hot attic.
Spray foam on the underside of the roof deck can bring the attic inside the insulated part of the home. A quote usually starts with looking at the current insulation, duct layout and how the attic is ventilated.
New construction, bonus rooms and garages
During construction, open walls are the easiest time to spray. Coordinate with your builder before drywall so cavities can be filled in one pass.
Rooms over garages and bonus rooms often need the garage ceiling, knee walls and roof line sealed together. Additions are another good window to foam before finishes go on.
Before you get a Prosper quote
- Tell the installer which rooms are uncomfortable and in which season.
- Ask whether existing attic insulation will be removed or left in place, and why.
- Ask how attic HVAC equipment and ductwork will be handled once the attic is sealed.
- Plan to stay out of the home during spraying and for the re-entry time your installer gives you.
