Insulation contractor in Seminole, TX - attics sealed and insulated in order
B&M Hobbs Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor based in Hobbs, NM, and we work in Seminole, TX, insulating attics, walls, crawl spaces and metal buildings with spray foam, blown-in insulation and air sealing.
Seminole homes and shops as we see them
Seminole is the Gaines County seat, just across the state line from our base in Hobbs, NM, and we come over for estimates and installs the same way we do in Lovington. Most calls come from homeowners, along with landlords and people with a shop or metal building on the property. The price depends mostly on how big the space is and what's already in it. The schedule depends on whether old material has to come out first and whether the job needs a permit. I'll give you your own figure when I come out and write the estimate.
The houses here range from older homes with a few inches of settled insulation to newer builds, and the shops are often bare metal. In an older house we usually start by checking what's up there and whether it's dry. A newer one more often needs air sealing, which means closing the gaps before insulating, and a top-up. A metal building usually calls for foam.
What we check in Seminole homes and shops
Most of what makes an insulation job go well in Seminole is up in the attic or under the floor, so these are the things I look at before I write an estimate.
How many inches are already in the attic and whether they've settled, because that decides whether we top up or start over.
The room over the garage and the floors over a crawl space, which are usually the first places people notice a draft or cold floors.
The vents along the eaves at the edge of the roof, which we keep clear so the attic can still breathe and moisture stays out of the framing.
The depth at the edges of the attic, where insulation often runs thin even though the edges need it as much as the middle.
Shops and metal buildings beside the house, which need their own plan because bare panels and open framing don't insulate the way a house does.
I'd rather see these things in person than guess over the phone, so every estimate starts with me looking through your attic with a flashlight.

Insulation services for Seminole homes and shops
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam fills every crack as it goes on, so it works well on rooflines, shop walls and odd framing where loose fill or batts would leave gaps.
Attic insulation
When the upstairs runs hot or the power bill climbs, we check how many inches are already in your attic, seal the gaps and bring the depth up evenly.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation, which is loose fill sent through a hose, is the usual way we top up an older attic without tearing out what's still in good shape.
Home insulation
For a house that's drafty in several rooms, I check the attic, walls and crawl space first, so we can fix the spots that matter in the right order.
Insulation removal
If old insulation got soaked in a roof leak or is full of droppings, we bag it out and clean up before anything new goes in.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors over a crawl space usually mean nothing under the floor is holding in the heat, so we insulate between the joists and seal the openings around the pipes.
Wall insulation
When a room stays cold no matter where you set the heat, we can fill older walls through small holes and patch them when we're done.
Air sealing services
We close the gaps around pipes, wiring, outlets and window frames, so a drafty house stops pulling in outside air through places you can't see.
Basement insulation
Where a house has a basement, we insulate the walls and the framing that sits on top of the foundation, so the room stops feeling cold and damp.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is a dense foam that blocks moisture. It's a good fit for metal buildings and crawl spaces, where you want the insulation and the moisture barrier in one layer.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is softer and lighter, so it suits interior walls and ceilings where you want a quieter room and good air sealing more than a moisture barrier.
Commercial insulation
For shops, offices and metal buildings in Seminole, I plan the work around your hours, so the crew stays out of the way of your customers and equipment.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A crawl space vapor barrier is heavy plastic laid over the dirt and up the walls. It keeps moisture from the ground out of the framing and the insulation above.
Vapor barrier installation
We add a vapor barrier where walls, ceilings or shop panels need one, so moisture doesn't collect inside the insulation and soak it over time.
Attic air sealing
Before we add anything to your attic, we seal around the can lights, the hatch and the pipes. Insulation laid over open gaps just ends up fighting a draft.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation is for a house that's already finished. We reach the attic, walls and crawl space through the access you already have, so we don't have to open up rooms.

Why hire us for insulation in Seminole
Once insulation is in, you can't see most of it, so what matters is the order of the work and who checks it. This is how we handle both. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
Every step explained before we start
Before the crew starts, I'll walk you through the order of the job. That covers what comes out, what gets sealed and what goes in, so you know what's happening in your own home.

Insulation questions from Seminole homeowners
Do I need a permit for insulation work in Seminole, TX?
In Seminole, permits for building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical work come from the City Inspector/Code Enforcement office, and that's the place to ask whether your insulation job needs one. Before work starts, I check with that office. If the job calls for a permit, we apply for it and arrange the inspections. If you'd like to ask them yourself, you can reach them at 432-758-3705.
Who inspects permitted work in Seminole?
The office that issues the permit also inspects all permitted work in Seminole. When your job has a permit, I set up those inspections and make sure the work they need to see hasn't been covered up before they arrive.
What if my house is outside Seminole city limits?
Seminole's permits cover projects inside the city, so a house out in the county may fall under a different office. Before we start, I check with the office that covers your address, and I'll tell you what they said before we set a date.
How much does insulation cost for a house in Seminole, TX?
Your price comes from the estimate I write after I've looked at the job. The biggest factors are how much old material has to come out, how many gaps need sealing, how easy the attic is to reach and whether you need foam or loose fill. Foam costs more because it seals the air while it insulates. Sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in insulation usually does the job for less, unless your ductwork runs through the attic.
How long do I have to stay out of my house after spray foam insulation?
You and your family stay out while we spray and until the re-entry time, which is when you can come back inside. I'll give you that time for your job before we start. With blown-in insulation in the attic, people usually stay home and just keep the kids and pets away from the hatch while we work.
