Houses, manufactured homes and shops in Monahans
Monahans is a straight drive west on I-20 from our home base in Odessa, past West Odessa. The houses out here face the same sun we deal with at home, only drier and windier. The city describes its climate as desert-like, with low humidity and short winters, and the sand dunes around town show how much the wind moves out here.
On jobs here we see older ranch houses with a few tired inches in the attic, manufactured homes, and metal shops and barns on bigger lots. Most of the work comes down to summer heat pushing down through the roof and wind driving air and grit through every gap, so we seal first and insulate after.
Our services in Monahans, TX
Summer sun on a Monahans roof is what makes the back bedroom or the room over the garage hot by afternoon, and a lot of the older attics we open here have only a few inches left. We bring the depth up evenly, full at the edges over the outside walls and not just piled in the middle.
Old insulation that's been soaked by a roof leak or filled with droppings doesn't do its job, and new material on top of it just hides the problem. Our insulation removal work vacuums it out and cleans the attic floor so the new layer starts clean.
Air sealing means closing the gaps around can lights, plumbing holes and the attic hatch, where your cooled air leaks up and out every time the wind picks up. We do it before any insulation goes down, because insulation alone won't stop a draft.
Winters here are short, but a pier-and-beam house or a manufactured home with loose skirting still gets cold floors when the wind gets underneath. We insulate between the floor joists and close the gaps so the floors stay warmer through the cold snaps.
Metal shops and barns around Monahans bake in summer and sweat on cold mornings, and I spent years working on buildings like that before I started this company. Spray foam sticks right to the metal, so it insulates and seals in one step.
Foam costs more, so unless your ductwork runs through the attic, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in insulation, loose fill blown in through a hose, usually gets you more for the money. We keep it back from the eave vents so the attic can still breathe and the framing stays dry.

What happens when you call us from Monahans
Call and talk it over
Call (432) 280-0033 or send the form, and I'm glad to talk through what you're seeing on the phone first. Then we pick a time for me to drive out to Monahans.
I look at it myself
I check the attic, walls or crawl space to see how many inches are there, what shape they're in, and whether a leak, wiring or wet ground needs fixing before we insulate. You get your options and a written estimate, and I'll show you what's driving the price.
Our crew does the work
Once you're ready, our crew lead runs the job with the crew, sealing gaps and clearing out bad material before anything new goes in. How soon we can start mostly depends on whether something has to be fixed first.
Walk the finished job
When we're done, we walk it with you so you can see the depth, the sealed gaps and the clear vents yourself. Ask anything you want, because no question is too small.
Monahans insulation questions answered
How do I find out if my insulation job needs a permit in Monahans?
Ask the city's Permit Clerk or Building Inspector at City Hall, 432-943-4343, before work starts. Monahans requires building permits for any type of construction, and changing or repairing walls or ceilings needs one, so attic and wall work is worth asking about. The city's permits page has more, and when a job does need a permit, we handle it with the city and tell you up front.
Does an insulation contractor have to register with the City of Monahans?
Yes, the city requires every contractor doing construction-related business in Monahans to register, from remodelers to handymen. The city keeps each contractor's license, insurance and bonds on file, so City Hall can tell you whether the company you're hiring is on record. We're fully licensed and insured.
Who should fix old wiring in my attic before it gets insulated?
A licensed electrical contractor should, because the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation licenses the companies that install, repair or alter wiring, and each one has to employ a licensed master electrician. If I find wiring that worries me during the estimate, I point it out so it gets fixed before we cover it.
Do I need a permit in Monahans if I replace my AC when I insulate the attic?
Yes, the city lists HVAC change-outs among the projects that need a permit. The equipment work goes to an air conditioning contractor licensed by the state, and it's worth timing it with the insulation so the attic gets sealed around the new equipment instead of opened up again later.
How much does attic insulation cost in Monahans, TX?
The price comes down to a few things I can see once I'm in your attic: how big it is, how many inches are up there now, and whether old insulation has to come out first. Gaps to seal, a hard-to-reach attic, and choosing foam over loose fill all add to it. You get it in writing after I look, so you know what you're paying for.
What causes sand and dust to come into my house from the attic in Monahans?
Most of it rides in on air through unsealed gaps around can lights, vents, the attic hatch and the tops of walls when the wind pushes on the house. Sealing those gaps before insulating cuts the dust and the draft together. If the old insulation is already gritty, it's usually better pulled out than covered.
