Colder Nights on the Old Yellow House Ranch
Spray Foam Insulation in Littlefield has to plan for colder nights than Lubbock sees. Littlefield's 1991-2020 normals on Wikipedia show January lows averaging 22.9F, with a record low of -14F and about 6.8 inches of snow a year. Lamb County is listed by OpenEI in Climate Zone 4B, where ENERGY STAR recommends R-60 for an attic with no insulation and R-49 added over 3 to 4 inches of existing insulation.
Ranch land turned farm town
The town is named for George Washington Littlefield, who in July 1901 bought the southern Yellow Houses division of the XIT Ranch and formed the Yellow House Ranch, covering 312,175 acres in Lamb, Hockley, Bailey and Cochran counties. Wikipedia says the world's tallest windmill, 128 feet high, stood below Yellow Houses Bluff until it blew over in 1926. Wind is not new here.
Housing in Littlefield
The 2020 census counted 5,943 residents and 2,727 housing units, 17.6% of them vacant, with a homeowner vacancy rate of 1.1%. When a house sits empty or changes hands, that is a good time to look at the attic. Older homes here usually need the attic floor sealed and the insulation brought up to depth, and some need old, soiled insulation removed first.
Heating and cooling both count
Littlefield's July highs average 92.5F and the record high is 112F, set on June 28, 1994. The same sealed, deep attic that holds heat on a January night keeps the house cooler in July. Where the air handler and ducts are in the attic, foam on the roof deck is worth pricing alongside a blown-in floor.
Farm buildings
Lamb County is cotton country, and shops and barns are a big share of our work around Littlefield. Closed-cell foam on steel stops condensation in winter and slows the summer heat.

Littlefield Questions
How much attic insulation should a Littlefield house have?
ENERGY STAR recommends R-60 for an uninsulated Zone 4B attic, or adding R-49 where 3 to 4 inches already exist. We quote to that target.
Is spray foam worth it on an older house in Littlefield?
In the attic, sealing plus blown-in is usually the best value. Foam earns its cost on rooflines with ducts, vaulted ceilings, open walls and steel buildings.
Can you work in winter?
Yes. Attics and conditioned spaces can be insulated year-round. For unheated steel buildings, foam needs a workable temperature, so we may plan a milder day.
