Insulation Company in Austin, TX
Woolsey Attic Insulation is an insulation company serving Austin, TX, focused entirely on attic insulation and spray foam insulation. Austin’s mix of 1970s ranch houses, 1990s suburban builds, and brand-new construction means no single insulation approach fits every home. The heat is the big driver here: summers regularly push past 100 degrees, and undersized or degraded attic insulation sends that heat straight into living spaces. Call us at (361) 418-9997 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin sits at a strange crossroads for insulation. The city gets hot enough to test any attic, yet winter cold snaps still dip below freezing often enough that homeowners feel the chill through thin ceilings. Older homes in neighborhoods like Crestview, Allandale, and Travis Heights often have original blown-in insulation that has settled to half its original depth over decades. Newer subdivisions in Steiner Ranch or Circle C may have code-minimum fiberglass batts that were never enough for a Texas summer.
The terrain matters too. Austin’s limestone hills and creeks create microclimates where one street can run noticeably hotter than another two blocks away. Homes tucked into shaded ravines need different treatment than exposed lots on ridgelines. We look at each house individually and recommend material based on what that specific structure and site actually need, not what happens to be on the truck.
Our Main Austin Services
Austin homeowners call us about two things most often. Both have dedicated pages with full details, pricing, and FAQs.
Attic Insulation in Austin
Most Austin attics are under-insulated by today’s standards. We remove old, settled material when needed and install fresh blown-in fiberglass or cellulose to bring attics up to proper R-value for Central Texas heat. The work usually happens in a single day, and you’ll notice the difference in how long your air conditioner runs by the following afternoon. We work with Owens Corning and Johns Manville materials and match the product to your attic’s access, depth, and ventilation setup. See the full breakdown on our Attic Insulation in Austin page.
Spray Foam Insulation in Austin
Spray foam is a two-part liquid that expands on contact and seals gaps airtight. In Austin, where humidity and heat creep through every crack, that air-sealing matters more than people expect. Open-cell foam works well in vented attics; closed-cell handles unvented designs and adds structural strength. We install both using Icynene and Demilec products, and every job carries the same written guarantee. Details and exact pricing live on our Spray Foam Insulation in Austin page.

What pushes an Austin job higher on those ranges? Attic access matters a lot. Older homes with narrow scuttle holes or tight roof pitches take longer to work safely. Existing insulation that needs removal before new material goes in also adds cost. Whatever the number, we give you a written price before any work begins, every single time.
