Terrell Hills presents a specific insulation challenge that neighboring cities don’t share: nearly every home here is a solid masonry mid-century estate built before cavity-wall insulation existed, which means your attic isn’t just important, it’s essentially the only thermal boundary protecting your living space. We’ve sealed and insulated over 9,000 homes since 2016, and the concentration of uninsulated brick construction in Terrell Hills makes this one of the highest-impact markets we serve.
Why Topside Attic Insulation New Braunfels Is Terrell Hills’s Preferred Spray Foam Insulation Company
Our reputation in Terrell Hills was built on documented results, not slogans. Homeowners here read three-star reviews with the same scrutiny they apply to five-star ones, so we publish before-and-after blower-door numbers on every applicable job, a pressurization reading that shows, in one figure, how much conditioned air your building envelope was losing before and after our work.
Response time to Terrell Hills averages same-day or next-day scheduling, with crews carrying Owens Corning and Johns Manville materials on every truck to eliminate supply delays. Because we’re familiar with Terrell Hills’s independent permitting requirements, we pull permits through Terrell Hills City Hall rather than San Antonio’s building department, a procedural distinction that has saved our customers weeks on project timelines.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and arrive with a written scope and written warranty before lifting any tool. Under Haven Standard: Have it in writing.
Our Spray Foam Insulation Services in Terrell Hills

Open-Cell Spray Foam
Open-cell spray foam, a half-pound density material that expands to fill irregular cavities and remains vapor-permeable, is our most common specification for Terrell Hills roof-deck applications. On a 1950s solid masonry estate near the corner of Garraty Road and Ivy Lane, we found the original attic insulation compressed to barely two inches of fiberglass with visible gaps around a 1980s HVAC platform. After air-sealing those bypasses, our crew applied Icynene open-cell spray foam to the entire roof deck, bringing the attic into the conditioned envelope and cutting the homeowner’s summer cooling demand dramatically. The homeowner later told us the second-floor bedrooms finally held temperature during the first 100°F week after our visit. Typical open-cell roof-deck jobs in Terrell Hills run $4,200-$6,200.

Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Closed-cell spray foam, a two-pound density material that acts as its own vapor barrier and adds structural rigidity, we reserve for specific Terrell Hills applications: garage ceilings, rim joists in crawl spaces, and occasional conditioned basement applications where moisture control is critical. We do not apply closed-cell directly to roof decks in these 1940s-1960s attics without first verifying roof leak history and ventilation adequacy, blistering and premature foam failure under 150°F attic temperatures is a failure mode we’ve documented on remedial jobs. Closed-cell applications in Terrell Hills typically range $3,800-$5,500 for garage ceilings and rim-joist work.

Rim Joist Spray Foam
The rim joist, the perimeter band where your foundation meets the first floor, is often the leakiest single plane in Terrell Hills homes with finished basements or elevated crawl spaces. Solid masonry walls above grade don’t excuse a porous rim joist below. We seal this junction with closed-cell foam after diagnostic smoke-pencil testing to locate the exact air paths. Most Terrell Hills rim-joist treatments run $1,800-$3,200 depending on linear footage and access.

Garage Ceiling Spray Foam
Garage ceiling applications in Terrell Hills are increasingly requested by homeowners converting carriage houses or detached garages to conditioned workshops or guest quarters. We specify closed-cell foam for these jobs, the material’s density withstands the occasional roof leak notification better than open-cell when the garage roof is separate from the main house structure. Typical garage ceiling jobs: $2,800-$4,500.

Spray Foam Roof Deck
The roof deck application is the signature retrofit for Terrell Hills, converting a ventilated, 150°F attic into a conditioned space within the building envelope. Because these masonry homes have no practical wall-insulation retrofit path, moving the thermal boundary to the roof deck is often the single largest comfort improvement available. We remove degraded existing insulation, air-seal all penetrations and top plates, then apply open-cell foam directly to the underside of the roof sheathing. This is not a DIY application, the spray rig operates at pressures that demand trained technicians and respiratory protection.

Common Spray Foam Insulation Problems We See in Terrell Hills Homes

- Spray foam applied over decades-old compressed fiberglass without removal. In Terrell Hills attics, this traps moisture against the solid masonry wall and can lead to hidden rot at the wall plate. We remove existing material before sealing, every time.
- Missing or incorrect permits. Failing to pull the Terrell Hills city permit before spraying can result in red-tagged work and forced removal when an out-of-area crew assumes San Antonio jurisdiction. We handle Terrell Hills permitting on every job.
- Closed-cell foam on roof decks with unresolved ventilation or leak issues. Using closed-cell foam directly on the underside of a roof deck in these 1940s-1960s attics without addressing existing roof leaks or inadequate ventilation causes blistering and premature foam failure under 150°F attic temperatures.
- Air sealing skipped before insulation. We will never blow foam over an unsealed attic floor. Air sealing of top plates, can lights, and penetrations is completed before any insulation is added. The blower-door test proves it.

FAQs - Spray Foam Insulation in Terrell Hills

Terrell Hills is an independently incorporated enclave city completely surrounded by San Antonio, so insulation permits must be pulled through Terrell Hills City Hall, not the City of San Antonio’s building department. This procedural quirk trips up out-of-area contractors and can delay projects by weeks when discovered mid-job. We handle Terrell Hills permitting on every project, call (830) 243-6352 for a written price and timeline.
No, solid masonry walls in Terrell Hills homes have no usable cavity for insulation retrofit, and drilling injection ports through historic brick is neither practical nor advisable. The attic, specifically the roof deck, becomes the only practical thermal boundary, which is why spray foam retrofits here deliver dramatically larger energy savings than in neighboring cities with framed construction. We assess your attic and provide a written scope targeting the actual upgrade path available.
Open-cell spray foam applied to the roof deck is our standard specification for Terrell Hills, converting the attic into a conditioned space and eliminating the 150°F radiant load on your HVAC platform and ductwork. We specify closed-cell only for garage ceilings, rim joists, and below-grade applications where its vapor-barrier properties are functionally required. Call (830) 243-6352 for a free estimate with written pricing.
Yes, homes with spray foam at the roof deck and proper air sealing maintained livable temperatures significantly longer during the February 2021 freeze, the conditioned envelope reduces both heat loss and the risk of pipe freezing in attic spaces. We’ve completed numerous Uri-response retrofits in Terrell Hills since 2021, and the blower-door documentation shows consistent improvement. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to all completed work.
We remove failed or improperly applied foam mechanically, then address the underlying moisture or adhesion issue before reapplying, the documentation includes photos of the removal and the corrected substrate. Remedial jobs in Terrell Hills often reveal trapped moisture against masonry walls when foam was sprayed over old fiberglass without removal. We provide a written price for remediation and a documented photo record of the entire process. Call (830) 243-6352 to schedule assessment.
