From Railroad Townsite to Growing Suburb

Spray Foam Insulation in Shallowater covers two kinds of buildings: houses in town and steel shops and barns on the farmland around it. Shallowater started as a railroad townsite; Wikipedia records that land for it was bought on May 18, 1909, after ranchers worked to bring the Santa Fe line through. It has grown steadily since. The town counted 784 housing units in 2000 and 1,060 in 2020, and only 5.9% of them were vacant.

Family homes

Shallowater is a family town. In 2020, 47.1% of its 997 households had children under 18, and the median age was 34.5. With housing units up by about a third since 2000, the town mixes newer construction with older homes. For both, the attic is the place to start. We seal the attic floor where wiring, plumbing and the attic hatch break through, then bring the insulation up to depth. ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an attic with no insulation in Zone 3, and OpenEI lists Lubbock County in Zone 3B.

Farm shops and barns

Outside town, much of the work is on metal buildings. A steel shop that sits in the sun all summer turns into an oven, and in winter the roof drips condensation onto equipment. Closed-cell spray foam on the walls and roof panels insulates and keeps moist air off the cold metal. We size the thickness to how you heat or cool the building.

Wind and dust on open ground

Shallowater sits on the flat, open plain northwest of Lubbock, where the wind has little to slow it down. Air sealing does as much for comfort as insulation here: it keeps dust and drafts from being pulled through gaps around doors, outlets and attic openings.

Planning a visit

We can usually look at a house and a shop on the same trip. Each building gets its own line on the quote, with material, thickness and price.

Shallowater Questions

Can you insulate my shop and house on the same visit?

Yes. We look at both and list them separately on the quote, so you can do one now and the other later if you want.

Why does my metal barn drip in winter?

Warm, moist air inside touches the cold steel and condenses. Closed-cell foam on the steel keeps that air off the metal and stops the drip.

Is blown-in or foam better for my attic?

If the attic floor is open and the ducts are not up there, sealing plus blown-in is usually the better value. If the ducts are in the attic, foam on the roof deck may be worth the extra cost.
