If your AC never quite keeps up in summer, open-cell foam seals the air leaks that are driving that problem and brings your home back under control.
Open-cell foam insulation in Stephenville gets sprayed as a liquid and expands to fill every gap and crack in your attic, walls, or crawl space, most jobs are completed in a single day and the foam creates an air seal that stops the constant exchange of hot outdoor air with your cooled indoor air.
In Stephenville, where summer temperatures regularly climb past 100 degrees, that air leakage is often the biggest reason your air conditioner runs nonstop. Open-cell foam addresses the problem at the source rather than just adding more material to a leaky envelope. Homeowners who pair it with commercial insulation on outbuildings or work shops often see a consistent drop in cooling costs across every structure on the property.
If you are comparing foam types, it helps to read up on spray foam insulation more broadly, so you understand where open-cell fits and when a denser product is the better call. Call us and we will walk you through the options at no cost.
If your system runs for hours without getting the house to the temperature you set, hot outside air is likely leaking in faster than your unit can cool it out. In Stephenville summers where outdoor temps stay above 95 degrees well into the evening, a poorly sealed attic makes your cooling system work two to three times harder than it should. Upgrading insulation and air sealing is often the fix that finally lets your system keep up.
If one bedroom or the back of the house is always noticeably warmer than the rest of the home, uneven insulation is a likely cause. This is common in older Stephenville homes where additions were built at different times and not insulated to the same standard as the original structure. You can feel the difference just by walking room to room.
If your summer electric bills have been creeping up even though your habits have not changed, degraded insulation is one of the most common culprits. Fiberglass installed in the 1970s or 1980s has likely lost a meaningful portion of its effectiveness, and that gap widens every year. A quick attic inspection will often reveal insulation that has settled, shifted, or been disturbed by pest activity.
Hold your hand near an electrical outlet on an exterior wall on a hot summer day. If you feel warm air coming through, your wall cavities are not properly sealed. Attic hatches are another common leak point. If the hatch cover feels warm to the touch in summer, conditioned air is escaping and hot attic air is pushing down into your living space. These are things you can check yourself in about ten minutes.
We install open-cell spray foam in attics, wall cavities, crawl spaces, and rim joists across Stephenville and surrounding Erath County communities. For attic applications, the foam is sprayed to the underside of the roof deck, which encapsulates the space and keeps the entire attic within the conditioned envelope of your home. This approach is especially effective in older homes where decades of settling fiberglass have left gaps at every rafter bay.
For homeowners comparing products, we also offer spray foam insulation in closed-cell form, which provides a higher R-value per inch and works better in high-moisture environments. Business owners with metal buildings or larger commercial spaces can ask about our commercial insulation options. We will help you pick the right product for the job, not just the one with the highest margin.
Best for homeowners with high summer cooling bills who want to stop heat from entering through the roof deck.
Suits homes with exterior walls that feel warm to the touch in summer or cold in winter due to missing or settled insulation.
Ideal for pier-and-beam homes where conditioned air escapes through the floor system and outdoor air infiltrates from below.
A targeted fix for homes where the junction between the foundation and the floor framing is a persistent source of air leakage.
Stephenville sits in Erath County in North-Central Texas, where summers regularly push past 100 degrees and attics can reach temperatures well above 130 degrees on a hot afternoon. A significant share of local homes were built between the 1960s and 1990s, and many still carry their original fiberglass batts. That insulation has been settling and losing effectiveness for decades, leaving gaps at wall tops and rafter bays that are invisible from the floor but act as open pathways for heat. Open-cell foam fills those gaps permanently and gives your air conditioner a fighting chance even on the worst July days.
Stephenville's semi-arid climate also means the area experiences periods of real humidity in spring and fall alongside its dry summers. Open-cell foam is vapor-permeable, which is the right match for this mixed moisture pattern. Homeowners in Granbury and Glen Rose deal with nearly identical climate conditions, and we work regularly in both communities. The key is addressing any existing roof leaks or moisture intrusion before the foam goes in, which is something we check for during every assessment.
We ask a few basic questions, including the size of your home and which areas you want insulated. We reply within one business day, and there is no pressure or commitment at this stage.
We walk through your attic, crawl space, or wall areas, check for moisture or pest issues, and take measurements. You receive a written estimate that breaks down cost by area and specifies foam thickness before you agree to anything.
Our crew arrives with the spray rig, suits up, and applies the foam to the specified thickness. Most attic jobs are done in a few hours. You and your family, including pets, will need to vacate for the duration and for a 24-hour period after while the material cures.
After the curing window passes, the foam is fully hardened and odor-free. We do a brief walkthrough to show you the finished work. Point out any thin or uneven areas before we leave and we will address them on the spot.

(254) 362-0219Spray foam is visible once it cures. You can see whether coverage is even, whether gaps were filled, and whether the foam adhered properly to the framing. We walk you through the finished job and invite you to look, because a good installation stands up to inspection.
We work regularly on 1960s through 1990s homes in Stephenville and the surrounding area. We know what settled fiberglass in a 40-year-old attic looks like, where pest entry points typically are, and how local clay soil cycles affect moisture in crawl spaces. That local knowledge shapes our recommendations.
Every estimate we give specifies the area, the foam thickness, and the cost, in writing, before you agree to anything. The Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance recommends written estimates as a baseline practice for consumer protection, and we follow that standard.
We follow EPA guidance on spray polyurethane foam for re-entry timing and always provide the safe re-entry time in writing before work begins. You will never be given a vague verbal estimate and sent home to guess.
Every one of these commitments points to the same thing: we want you to be confident in this investment, not just satisfied the day we leave. Call us or submit a contact form and we will get the process started.
