Insulation Company in Manor, TX
Manor, TX sits on the blackland prairie east of Austin, where late-July attic temperatures regularly climb past 140 degrees and February cold snaps push uninsulated ceilings to the dew point. Insulation work here is shaped by those two realities. We’re Woolsey Attic Insulation, and we handle the two jobs that matter most to Manor homeowners: attic insulation and spray foam insulation. If you want a straight answer about what your attic needs and a written price before anything starts, call (361) 418-9997.
Why Manor Homes Are Different
Manor’s housing stock spans three distinct eras, and each one fails in its own way. The original town-grid homes along Parsons Street and Lexington Street, many built before 1980, typically carry thin fiberglass batts that settled decades ago. The 2000s boom neighborhoods like Presidential Meadows and ShadowGlen brought larger footprints and higher ceilings, but builders often installed builder-grade R-30 as a minimum, not a solution. Newer phases around Wildhorse Ranch and along Blake-Manor Road have code-compliant insulation on paper, but we regularly find gaps around recessed lights, bathroom fans, and attic hatches that no inspector’s checklist catches.
What ties all of them together is the climate. Manor gets roughly 35 inches of rain a year, and the summer humidity hangs in the 70 to 90 percent range for weeks at a time. That moisture moves upward into vented attics and condenses on the underside of roof decking. Fiberglass insulation that has absorbed that moisture loses R-value fast, and the musty smell homeowners notice in August is often insulation that has been damp for months. The blackland clay under Manor also shifts through wet and dry cycles, which opens hairline cracks in ceiling drywall and lets conditioned air escape into the attic. Insulation in Manor isn’t just about staying cool: it’s about keeping the structure dry and the air barrier intact.
Our Main Manor Services
Most calls we get from Manor fall into one of two camps: an older home with an attic that has never been properly sealed, or a newer home with one or two problem rooms that run 10 degrees hotter than the rest of the house. Here is how each job works.
Attic Insulation in Manor
Attic work in Manor usually starts with a full inspection of existing batts or blown-in material, looking for compressed sections, rodent damage, and moisture stains around roof penetrations. Many homes in older Manor neighborhoods still have R-19 or less at the eaves, which is nowhere close to what this climate demands. We often remove and replace failed material, air-seal the attic plane, and install fresh insulation rated for Central Texas heat. Fiberglass and cellulose both work here when installed to the right depth and density. Attic Insulation in Manor gets deep into the materials, R-values, and process we use.
Spray Foam Insulation in Manor
Spray foam is the answer for Manor homes with unvented attic spaces, finished bonus rooms over garages, or stubborn rooms that never hold temperature. The material is a two-part liquid that expands on contact and seals the gaps fiberglass simply can’t reach: around skylights, duct chases, and the rim joist where hot air pushes in from outside. It also stops the moisture migration that plagues vented attics during Manor’s long humid spells. Spray Foam Insulation in Manor explains the difference between open-cell and closed-cell and what each costs here.

Prices in Manor move with a few things: how much old material has to come out first, how much air sealing the attic plane needs before new insulation goes in, and whether the attic access can accept loose-fill equipment or needs hand-carrying. The written price we give you before work starts reflects all of that, and it does not change at the door.

FAQs About Insulation Company in Manor
We schedule inspections and jobs in Manor most weekdays, and we can often send a technician within a few days of your call. If your attic has an active moisture problem or an animal has torn through existing insulation, call us and we’ll prioritize it. The phone is answered by a live person, any hour.
Most Manor HOAs do not require approval for attic insulation work, since it is not visible from the street. Spray foam in vented attics can change ventilation, but we handle that specification. If your HOA has a specific rule, we’ll work with what they require and put the plan in writing before we start.
The Kingswell Guarantee means four things on every Manor job: a written price before any work starts, a committed arrival window, a clean job site when we leave, and a written guarantee on the installation for 365 days. If something isn’t right within that year, we come back and fix it at no charge.
If you have more questions about what your Manor attic needs, call (361) 418-9997 and ask for Glenn Hartley’s team. We’ll walk the house with you, explain what we see, and give you a written price before anything gets touched.

What Manor Customers Say
"The guy didn't try to sell me on foaming the whole house. He said the attic was where I'd actually feel it and left it at that. Honest, and he was right, our bills dropped."
- Angela Ruiz"Drafty old house that never felt comfortable. After the attic and some air sealing it's a different place. On time, clean, and the quote didn't change. Wish I'd done it years ago."
- Dmitri Kozlov"Insulation job was done well. Scheduling took a little longer than I'd have liked, they were booked out a couple weeks. But once they came it was quick and the house is cozier."
