Big Spring Insulation serves Andrews homeowners and businesses with spray foam, attic, and blown-in insulation. We help Permian Basin families cut cooling costs and stay comfortable when West Texas summers push past 100 degrees.
Andrews homes built in the oil-boom era have gaps and air leaks that standard insulation alone cannot fix. Our spray foam insulation service seals those leaks at the source and creates an air barrier that keeps the extreme West Texas heat from working its way in around every penetration.
The flat, treeless terrain around Andrews means roofs bake under direct sun all day, loading attics to extreme temperatures. Adding or replacing attic insulation to current R-38 or higher standards is the single most impactful change most Andrews homeowners can make to their energy bills.
Andrews's brick ranch homes from the 1950s through 1980s are ideal candidates for blown-in insulation, which adds R-value without disturbing existing drywall or structure. A crew can complete a standard attic job in a single day, and the improvement in summer comfort is usually noticeable immediately.
Andrews has a mix of oilfield service facilities, retail buildings, and small commercial properties that face the same extreme heat loads as residential homes. Properly insulating commercial spaces reduces HVAC strain and keeps employees and customers comfortable through long West Texas summers.
Homes across Andrews lose a significant amount of conditioned air through unsealed gaps in the attic floor around light fixtures, plumbing, and ductwork. Sealing those pathways before adding insulation makes every insulation dollar work harder and reduces the load on your AC.
Old, degraded insulation in Andrews attics often harbors dust, rodent debris, and compressed material that no longer performs. We remove it cleanly before installing new insulation so your replacement material sits on a clean substrate and delivers its full rated R-value.
Andrews sits in the heart of the Permian Basin on flat, open terrain with very little natural shade or wind protection. Summer temperatures push past 95 to 100 degrees F for weeks at a time, and the sun beats down on roofs and walls without relief. Most of the city's housing stock dates from the mid-20th century oil boom, when insulation standards were a fraction of what the Department of Energy now recommends for this climate zone. A home built in Andrews in 1965 might have R-11 in the attic - today the standard for this area is R-38 or higher. That gap means AC systems that run almost constantly and energy bills that climb through the summer.
The winters add a different kind of pressure. Andrews sees regular hard freezes from November through February, and the February 2021 winter storm hit West Texas hard - many Andrews homeowners found out that old insulation and unsealed pipe penetrations are a serious liability when temperatures plunge. High winds blow through the area year-round, carrying fine dust that works into every gap in the building envelope. The flat terrain also means water has nowhere to go after heavy rain, and standing water near slab foundations is a recurring issue that insulation around perimeter areas can help buffer. An insulation contractor who understands these specific conditions - not just general best practices - is what Andrews homeowners need.
Our crew works throughout Andrews regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect insulation work here. The housing in Andrews is almost entirely brick veneer ranch homes on slab foundations - which means no crawl space under the main living area, but plenty of attic space that is the first place heat enters and the highest-priority target for insulation. The flat lots and open exposure mean these homes take the full force of West Texas sun with nothing to break it.
Andrews is centered around the historic Andrews County Courthouse downtown, with residential neighborhoods spreading out from there in every direction. US Highway 385 runs through the center of town and connects Andrews to Odessa to the south and Lovington, New Mexico to the north. Most of the residential neighborhoods we work in are compact grids of streets with homes that were built during the same general period and have similar insulation needs.
We also regularly serve homeowners in Lamesa, TX and Odessa, TX, which means our crew is already moving through the Permian Basin regularly. Andrews is not a detour for us - it is part of our regular route.
Reach us at (432) 263-5195 or through our contact form. We respond within one business day and will ask a few quick questions about your home and what you have been noticing - high bills, hot rooms, or drafts in winter.
We come to your Andrews home, inspect the attic and any other problem areas, and give you a written estimate with a clear scope of work. There is no charge for this visit and no obligation to proceed.
Most Andrews insulation jobs are done in a single day. For attic work, you just need to be available at the start to confirm access - then the crew takes it from there and works efficiently to minimize disruption.
After installation we walk you through the completed work, confirm everything meets spec, and clean up completely. No material left on the roof or in the driveway - we leave your Andrews home the way we found it.
We serve Andrews and the surrounding Permian Basin area. No commitment required - just an honest assessment and a written estimate.
(432) 263-5195Andrews is a small West Texas city of about 14,000 residents sitting on the flat, open landscape of Andrews County in the heart of the Permian Basin. The city grew rapidly during the mid-20th century oil boom, and the petroleum industry remains the backbone of the local economy. Most of the housing stock reflects that era - single-story brick ranch homes built between the 1950s and 1985, with slab foundations and modest lot sizes. The neighborhoods are compact and walkable, with high owner-occupancy rates and families that have lived in the same homes for decades. Andrews High School Mustang football is a serious community event, and the area retains the character of a working oil-country town where people know their neighbors and take care of their properties.
Andrews sits roughly 35 miles north of Odessa and about 40 miles west of Midland, which means residents rely on local contractors rather than waiting for someone to drive out from a larger city. The homes here are aging, the climate is extreme, and the combination creates steady demand for insulation and energy efficiency improvements. We work throughout Andrews and also serve homeowners in Odessa, TX and Midland, TX across the Permian Basin.
