Serving Kerrville, TX and surrounding areas. (830) 488-9157
Kerrville Insulation provides spray foam, attic insulation, and crawl space services to homeowners throughout Boerne, TX. From fast-growing subdivisions along I-10 to older homes near historic Main Street, we have served Kendall County properties since 2016 and reply to every inquiry within one business day.
Boerne sits about 30 miles northwest of San Antonio and shares the same intense summer heat - attic temperatures in homes here regularly exceed 140 degrees in July. Spray foam seals air leaks and insulates in a single application, which means your AC spends less time fighting against a poorly sealed building envelope.

Many homes in Boerne's post-2000 subdivisions were built to minimum code requirements that are now considered undersized by current standards. Upgrading attic insulation in these homes - which are now old enough for their first round of real maintenance - is one of the fastest ways to reduce summer cooling costs and even out temperatures across every room.
Blown-in insulation is a strong fit for Boerne homeowners who want to add coverage to an existing attic without a full tear-out. It works well over settled batt insulation in the area's older homes and installs quickly in the standard framing found throughout Boerne's newer subdivisions - typically completing in a single day with minimal disruption to your household.
Boerne's Hill Country location means shallow soil over limestone bedrock, and some older homes in the area sit on pier-and-beam foundations with exposed crawl spaces. Crawl space insulation in this climate protects floors and pipes from both summer heat radiating up from baked ground and the occasional hard freeze that Boerne experiences during severe winters.
The February 2021 freeze hit Kendall County hard, and many Boerne homeowners discovered that their homes lost heat rapidly during that event. Air sealing the building envelope - targeting attic bypasses, rim joists, and penetrations around plumbing and electrical - addresses the gaps that allow both cold air intrusion in winter and intense heat gain during summer months.
Boerne receives periodic heavy rain from Hill Country storm systems, and the thin soil over limestone bedrock means runoff moves quickly and ground moisture can work its way up under homes with crawl spaces or unfinished basements. A properly installed vapor barrier stops ground moisture at the source and protects floor systems and structural members from long-term damage.
Boerne has grown from a small Hill Country town of about 6,700 people in 2000 to a city of over 22,000 today, and that growth has produced a split housing market. The newer subdivisions - neighborhoods like Esperanza, Herff Ranch, and Cibolo Canyons - are full of homes built in the 2000s and 2010s on concrete slab foundations. These homes are now old enough to show their first signs of insulation settling and air seal degradation, but their owners often assume newer homes do not need this kind of attention. Meanwhile, the older homes near downtown and along historic streets present a completely different challenge: irregular framing, limited attic access, and in some cases original limestone construction that interacts with insulation differently than modern materials. A contractor who works across both housing types understands that Boerne is not a single job type - it is two different construction contexts within a few miles of each other.
The climate adds its own demands. Boerne sits at roughly 1,400 feet elevation, which makes it slightly cooler than central San Antonio but still subject to the same intense summer heat and the periodic severe freezes that affect the entire Texas Hill Country. Attic temperatures in this area regularly exceed 140 degrees on a July afternoon, driving up cooling costs in homes that lack adequate insulation. The expansive clay soils common across Kendall County swell when wet and shrink during drought, gradually working open new gaps in a home's building envelope year after year. And the area's proximity to the Balcones Escarpment flash flood corridor means heavy rain can arrive quickly and test drainage around slab foundations in ways most homeowners do not anticipate. Understanding these factors is the difference between an insulation job that solves the problem and one that misses it.
Our crew works throughout Boerne regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect insulation work here. Boerne sits in Kendall County, and for most standard insulation retrofits in existing homes, Texas does not require a permit - the City of Boerne follows the same general approach for straightforward attic and crawl space upgrades. We confirm permit requirements on every job before we start, and we flag any project-specific considerations during the estimate visit so there are no surprises.
Boerne's Main Street and the historic downtown core are familiar territory for our crew. We also work regularly out in the newer subdivisions off I-10 and along the roads that connect to Kendall County's more rural stretches toward the Cibolo Nature Center and beyond. Knowing the difference between a 1940s downtown home and a 2008 subdivision build changes how we approach the estimate and the job itself.
We also serve the surrounding communities in this part of the Hill Country. Homeowners in Pipe Creek, TX and out toward the Bandera County line call us regularly for the same spray foam and attic work we do throughout the Boerne area. If you are in this part of Kendall or Bandera County, we can get to you.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and we will respond within one business day. We ask a few basic questions - home size, area to be insulated, and any concerns you have noticed - so we can give you a useful ballpark before the estimate visit.
A technician visits your home, walks the attic or crawl space with you, and takes measurements. This visit is where we assess existing insulation, identify air leaks, and note any access challenges. You receive a written quote before any work is scheduled - no cost to you for the assessment.
On install day, we set up equipment, mask off surfaces, and complete the work. Most Boerne attic jobs finish in a single day. We ask you to clear the work area of stored items beforehand; we handle all masking and protect the rest of your home from overspray or debris.
Before the crew leaves, we walk you through the completed work so you can see exactly what was done and where. Any questions you have get answered on the spot. The work area is left clean, with all masking removed and debris cleared.
We serve all of Boerne and Kendall County. No obligation, no pressure - just a clear written quote and a straight answer about what your home needs.
(830) 488-9157Boerne is the seat of Kendall County, located about 30 miles northwest of San Antonio along Interstate 10 in the Texas Hill Country. The city has grown substantially over the past two decades, drawing families, retirees, and remote workers who want access to San Antonio without living in the metro. The result is a community with two distinct personalities: a preserved historic downtown anchored by limestone buildings along Main Street dating to the 1800s, and a ring of newer subdivisions built from the 2000s forward where most of the recent growth has occurred. The City of Boerne sits at about 1,400 feet elevation in the Hill Country, giving it a slightly cooler baseline temperature than central San Antonio but the same exposure to summer heat, periodic hard freezes, and fast-moving Hill Country thunderstorms.
The housing stock in Boerne reflects the community's growth arc. Near downtown, you will find homes built in the early to mid-1900s alongside some original limestone structures, many of which have been renovated but retain their original construction. Out in the newer neighborhoods - Esperanza, Herff Ranch, and properties near the Kendall County Fairgrounds - homes are mostly post-2000 with brick or stone veneer, concrete slab foundations, and standard wood framing. These homes are now at the age where insulation, caulking, and air sealing tend to need their first serious attention. Nearby communities like Kendalia, TX and Pipe Creek, TX sit within our regular service area and share similar housing characteristics.
