Big Spring Insulation is Big Spring's local insulation contractor, delivering attic insulation, spray foam, and whole-home air sealing to Howard County homeowners. We have been serving this community since 2019, responding within 1 business day and standing behind every job.
Big Spring homes built in the 1950s through 1980s were constructed with insulation levels well below what West Texas heat demands today. A whole-home insulation upgrade addresses attics, walls, and floors in a single coordinated project, so no zone is left behind. Learn more about our home insulation service and what it covers.
In Big Spring, attic temperatures can exceed 150 degrees on a July afternoon, and whatever is between that heat and your living space is your first line of defense. Many homes here have attic insulation that has settled or was never installed to the levels recommended for this climate zone, making an attic upgrade one of the highest-return investments a local homeowner can make.
West Texas wind carries fine dust that works its way through any gap in a home's shell, and spray foam addresses both insulation and air sealing in the same application. It is especially well suited for tight spaces like rim joists, crawl space walls, and cathedral ceilings where batt or blown-in material cannot conform as closely to the surface.
Big Spring's persistent wind events push air - and fine caliche dust - through gaps around recessed lights, plumbing penetrations, and attic hatches that most homeowners never think about. Sealing those bypasses before adding insulation dramatically improves the result, and it is one of the main reasons two homes with the same amount of insulation can feel completely different inside.
Many Big Spring homes have old insulation that has been contaminated by rodents, settled into ineffective thin layers, or was damaged during the hard freezes that have hit Howard County in recent years. Removing that old material is the right first step before any upgrade, and we handle the process safely so the new installation goes in clean.
Metal warehouses, retail buildings, and older commercial structures along Big Spring's main corridors are common in Howard County - and most of them are fighting the West Texas sun with inadequate insulation. We work on commercial properties of all sizes, with experience in the metal building construction that is so prevalent throughout this part of the Permian Basin.
Big Spring sits at roughly 2,400 feet on the open Llano Estacado, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees, the wind blows almost constantly, and there are very few trees to soften the exposure. Homes here take direct punishment from heat, UV, and blowing dust in ways that houses in greener parts of Texas simply do not. The combination of extreme cooling loads and air infiltration from wind-driven gaps means that the insulation standards appropriate for most of the country fall short of what Big Spring homes actually need to perform well.
A large share of Big Spring's housing stock was built between the 1940s and 1970s, during the city's growth periods tied to the railroad, World War II, and the early oil booms. Those homes were built to the standards of their era - which means many have attics with only a few inches of original insulation that has since compressed, settled, or been disturbed by pests. When you add the caliche and clay soil that shifts under foundations with every wet-dry cycle, and the real freeze risk that Winter Storm Uri demonstrated in 2021, you have a housing stock with urgent insulation needs that a contractor unfamiliar with this specific area is not well prepared to address. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the climate zone covering Big Spring calls for significantly higher attic R-values than many homes here currently have.
Big Spring Insulation has been based in Big Spring since 2019, pulling work permits through the City of Big Spring's building department and working on the brick-exterior homes that make up the majority of the residential stock here in Howard County. We know that the caliche soil underneath most yards shifts with the seasons, that older homes near downtown often have minimal original insulation, and that the wind events on this stretch of the Llano Estacado are not something a West Texas insulation contractor can afford to ignore when scheduling blown-in work.
Our crews work on homes all across Big Spring - from the neighborhoods around Comanche Trail Park on the south side of town to the areas near the Scenic Mountain State Park on the city's edge. We also regularly serve nearby communities including Forsan, TX to the south and Coahoma, TX to the north. If you are unsure whether we serve your address, just call - we cover all of Howard County.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form. We respond within 1 business day and will ask a few basic questions about your home's age and what you have been noticing - high bills, uncomfortable rooms, or both.
We come to your home, inspect the attic, and measure what is already there. You will get a written estimate that explains what we found and what the work will cost - no vague numbers and no pressure to commit on the spot.
Our crew arrives with all materials and equipment. For a typical Big Spring attic job, the work takes two to four hours. Air sealing happens first, then insulation goes in - the sequence matters because sealing gaps before adding material is what makes the upgrade actually perform.
Before leaving, we walk you through the finished work - either in the attic or with photos if you prefer. The space is left clean and your home is fully usable immediately. No curing time, no waiting.
We serve all of Big Spring and Howard County. Honest estimates, no pressure.
(432) 263-5195Big Spring is the county seat of Howard County with a population of roughly 27,000 to 28,000 people. The city grew in stages tied to the Texas and Pacific Railway in the late 1800s, then expanded significantly during World War II when Webb Air Force Base brought federal investment and new residents. Another wave of growth came with the early Permian Basin oil booms. The result is a housing stock spread across multiple eras - Victorian-era commercial buildings near downtown, mid-century brick ranch homes in established neighborhoods, and newer construction pushing toward the edges of town.

About 60% of occupied homes in Big Spring are owner-occupied, which means most residents have a real stake in keeping their properties in good condition. Comanche Trail Park on the south side of the city is a well-known gathering spot for local families, and Scenic Mountain State Park on the edge of town is one of the few elevated landmarks on an otherwise flat horizon. Nearby communities we also serve include Stanton, TX to the west and Forsan, TX just south of the city limits.
