Serving Kerrville, TX and surrounding areas. (830) 488-9157
Hot attic air pours through every unsealed gap into your living space. We find every crack, seal it tight, and give you a home that actually holds its temperature.
Attic air sealing in Kerrville means a contractor finds every gap, crack, and opening in your attic floor and plugs them so conditioned air stays inside your living space - most single-story homes are completed in one full day with no disruption to your routine.
This is a separate job from adding insulation, though the two are almost always done together. Insulation slows heat moving through solid surfaces - but air moves freely through any open gap. If your attic has a layer of insulation but the cracks around every pipe, wire, and light fixture were never sealed, hot attic air is still pouring into your home all summer long. That is why sealing comes first, then insulating on top. If your attic is also light on insulation depth, pairing this service with retrofit insulation delivers the full benefit in a single visit.
The attic is typically the biggest source of air leakage in any home. When you seal it properly, your air conditioner runs less, your rooms reach the temperature you set, and the air inside your home stays cleaner. You can call us directly at (830) 488-9157 to schedule an assessment or ask any questions before you commit to anything.
If your upstairs bedrooms feel noticeably warmer than the rest of the house during a Kerrville summer, hot attic air is leaking down through gaps in the ceiling. Your air conditioner is fighting a battle it cannot win because conditioned air escapes as fast as it is produced. This is one of the clearest signs the attic floor has never been properly sealed.
Kerrville summers are long and hot, and a home with an unsealed attic will show it on the electric bill. If your cooling costs seem unusually high compared to neighbors in similar-sized homes, or if bills have crept up year after year without a clear reason, air leakage is one of the first things worth investigating.
Unsealed attics act like a vacuum, pulling outdoor air and everything in it through ceiling gaps and into your living space. In Kerrville, where cedar and oak pollen are heavy seasonal concerns, this means a constant fine layer of dust or allergens on furniture and countertops. If your home feels dusty no matter how often you clean, air infiltration from above is a likely cause.
Hold your hand near a recessed light fixture or ceiling fan housing on a hot summer day. If you feel air moving, that fixture is connected directly to your attic and is pulling conditioned air out or letting unconditioned air in. This is very common in homes built before the 1990s and one of the easiest things a contractor can fix during an air sealing visit.
We seal the full attic floor - every pipe, wire, duct boot, recessed light fixture, interior wall top plate, and any other penetration that lets air pass between your attic and your living space. We use foam and caulk rated for attic environments. Where gaps are large - like open interior wall cavities acting as chimneys - we use two-component spray foam to block the airflow completely before any insulation is added on top. Our broader air sealing services cover additional areas of the home where air intrusion is a problem, so if you want a full-house assessment, we can look at the whole picture in one visit.
After sealing is complete, we will tell you whether your current insulation depth is adequate for the Texas Hill Country climate. If it is not, adding material on top of freshly sealed gaps is the correct next step - and we can do that the same day. We also note anything else we find up there: signs of pest activity, moisture damage, or equipment issues. You get a straight report and a written quote before any work begins.
Best for most Kerrville homes - foam and caulk applied to all penetrations in the attic floor so conditioned air stops escaping and hot attic air stops entering.
For homes where existing insulation is thin or settled - we seal first, then blow in new material to the recommended depth in the same visit.
When new insulation is planned, we seal all gaps beforehand so the new material performs at its rated value from day one rather than being undermined by air movement.
For homeowners who want to understand the full picture - we inspect sealing, insulation depth, ventilation, and equipment condition and give you a written summary before recommending any work.
Kerrville sits in the Texas Hill Country where summer temperatures regularly climb above 100 degrees and attic temperatures can reach 140 to 160 degrees on a hot afternoon. That extreme heat radiates downward through every unsealed gap in the ceiling all day and well into the evening. A significant portion of Kerrville's residential neighborhoods - including areas around the historic downtown and older subdivisions developed in the 1970s and 1980s - were built before energy-efficient construction practices became standard. Homes of that era were rarely air sealed at all during construction, meaning gaps around every pipe, wire, and wall top were simply left open. The U.S. Department of Energy identifies the attic as the single largest source of air leakage in most homes - and in Kerrville's climate, fixing that leak delivers an immediate, measurable return. Homeowners in Ingram and the surrounding Hill Country communities face the same conditions and see the same results.
Kerrville is also one of the highest mountain cedar pollen zones in the country, with cedar fever season running from December through February. An unsealed attic acts like a pump - continuously pulling outdoor air and pollen through gaps in the ceiling into your living space. Homeowners who suffer from cedar fever or oak allergies often notice a meaningful improvement in indoor air quality after attic air sealing. Beyond allergens, Kerrville winters bring cold snaps and occasional hard freezes - and a sealed attic holds warmth in just as effectively as it blocks heat in summer. Residents in Fredericksburg and nearby communities experience the same seasonal swings and benefit from the same solution. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that reducing outdoor air infiltration is one of the most effective ways to improve indoor air quality.
We ask a few basic questions - your home's age, approximate square footage, and whether you have had any insulation work done before. This helps us arrive prepared. We reply within 1 business day and can typically schedule your assessment visit within a few days.
A technician inspects the attic in person - checking insulation depth and condition, identifying visible gaps around pipes and fixtures, and assessing accessibility. Some contractors use a blower door test at this stage to measure exactly how much air is leaking. You receive a written estimate before any work is agreed to.
On the day of the job, the crew works entirely in the attic using foam and caulk to seal every penetration. The work is not loud or disruptive - most homeowners go about their normal day inside while the crew works above. If insulation is part of the scope, it is added the same day immediately after sealing.
Before leaving, we walk you through what was done and share photos of the sealed areas. If a before-and-after blower door test was part of the scope, you see the numbers change - not just feel a vague sense of improvement. We also provide any documentation you need for a KPUB rebate or federal tax credit claim.

(830) 488-9157Some contractors skip straight to blowing in insulation without addressing the gaps underneath. That approach limits how much you actually save because air keeps moving through unsealed penetrations. We seal the attic floor completely first, then add insulation on top - the order that produces real, measurable results.
We have been working in Kerrville and the surrounding Hill Country since 2016 and understand the construction patterns in this area - from the 1970s ranch-style homes near downtown to newer builds on the north side of town. That local experience means fewer surprises and faster work on your job.
You will never receive a bill that looks different from your quote. We visit your home, assess the attic, and give you a written price that covers exactly what we plan to do. No work starts until you approve it. If we find something unexpected during the job, we tell you before we proceed.
We carry full liability insurance and meet Texas licensing requirements for insulation work. The{' '} Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation sets contractor standards in this state, and hiring a licensed contractor protects you if anything goes wrong. We are happy to provide proof of coverage before you schedule.
These are not just talking points - they reflect how we approach every job. We built this business on referrals from Kerrville neighbors who wanted honest work done right the first time, and that standard has not changed. Call us at (830) 488-9157 or request a free estimate online to get started.
