Arlington's 1970s and 1980s ranch homes and two-stories were built solid, but their original attic insulation has flattened after four decades of 140 to 160 degree summer heat, and spring hail keeps roofs in steady replacement mode. If your home sits in the 76010 ZIP code, you're living in one of North Texas's most active spray foam markets, where attic temperatures spike fast and energy bills follow.
Fort Worth Spray Foam Insulation has been serving Arlington and the surrounding Fort Worth area since 2012. We work on the homes that need it most: ranches with empty wall cavities, attics where the original fill has compressed to nothing, crawl spaces under pier-and-beam foundations, and the rim and band joists where conditioned air leaks straight into the unconditioned space below. When your summer cooling bill becomes unaffordable, or a bonus room over the garage never cools no matter what the thermostat says, we show up with a free on-site assessment and an honest estimate with R-value and thickness spelled out.
Spray Foam Insulation in Arlington (76010)
Arlington's housing stock tells the story. The ranches and two-stories built from the 1970s through the 1990s sit on concrete slabs or on pier-and-beam foundations with open crawl spaces underneath. Above them, the ductwork and water lines run through vented attics that hit 140 to 160 degrees on the long strings of 100-degree summer days North Texas gets from June through September. The original attic insulation, whether blown-in fiberglass or cellulose, has settled and compacted over decades. Walls built without cavity insulation stay cold in winter and hot in summer. Crawl spaces sweat with humidity in spring and summer, and condensation collects on the underside of rim joists where the house meets the foundation.
Spray foam insulation fixes these problems directly. Closed-cell foam seals the rim joist and band joist, stops the crawl space from pulling moisture into the house, and fills wall cavities so they hold temperature year-round. Open-cell foam in the attic adds R-value where the original fill has failed, and because it is vapor-permeable, it lets the attic breathe the way your home's design expects it to. We have been doing this work in Arlington since 2012. We know the building code that applies at your address, the local permit process, and the specific failure modes that hit 1970s and 1980s construction hardest.

How a Job Works in Arlington
We start with a free on-site assessment. You tell us what you are seeing: a summer cooling bill that has become unaffordable, a room that never reaches temperature, condensation on windows or on ductwork in the attic, or insulation that has been compressed or fouled by rodents. We walk the attic, crawl space or walls with you, measure the area, and explain what needs to happen and why. We send a written estimate with R-value and thickness specified, so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins.
On the day of the job, our team arrives with the equipment and the material. If old insulation has to come out first, we remove and haul it. If the substrate is wet or contaminated, we do not spray: we fix the moisture first or we walk away. Once the area is prepped and protected, we spray the foam to the thickness and R-value in your estimate. During cure, we run mechanical ventilation and keep the space unoccupied. The re-entry window is twenty-four to forty-eight hours, depending on conditions. We leave your property clean and do a final walkthrough with you so you can see the work.
Pricing for spray foam insulation in Arlington depends on the area to cover, the R-value and thickness you need, whether you choose open-cell or closed-cell foam, and what has to be removed or prepped first. A typical attic top-up in a 1970s or 1980s ranch runs from $1.50 per square foot for open-cell foam, or from $1.20 per board foot for closed-cell. Wall injection foam starts at $2 per square foot. A crawl space encapsulation with closed-cell foam runs from $2,500 and up, depending on square footage and moisture conditions. If old insulation has to come out, add $950 and up for removal. The most honest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate. Call us at (817) 607-8986 or tell us about your home, and we will walk through the job with you and give you a price you can count on.
