Green Attics is a family-owned insulation contractor rated 4.9 stars across the DFW Metroplex. We install blown-in fiberglass, cellulose, spray foam, and radiant barrier insulation for homeowners in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties.
Most North Texas homes built before 2010 sit below the R-38 attic insulation code for IECC Climate Zone 3. That gap costs you hundreds every year on Oncor and Atmos Energy bills. Our team identifies the problem with a free CPR Energy Audit, then installs the right insulation to fix it. Call us today to schedule yours today.
Your attic is the biggest source of wasted energy in a North Texas home. In summer, attic temperatures climb past 150°F. That heat pushes through thin or damaged insulation and forces your HVAC system to work overtime. In winter, warm air escapes upward through the same gaps.
Green Attics is a family-owned insulation contractor based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. We install blown-in insulation, spray foam, radiant barriers, and solar attic fans for homeowners across Collin, Denton, Tarrant, and Dallas counties. We also perform free energy audits so you know exactly where your home is losing money before any work begins.
From fiberglass and cellulose to closed-cell spray foam, we match the right material to your home’s layout, budget, and performance goals. Call (214) 305-5449 to schedule your free consultation.
Properly installed attic insulation can cut your heating and cooling costs by up to 60%. Green Attics installs blown-in fiberglass and cellulose insulation to bring your attic up to current energy code standards.
Most older DFW homes have R-19 to R-22 in the attic. That falls well short of the R-38 minimum required by the 2018 IECC for Climate Zone 3, which covers Dallas-Fort Worth. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-60 for attics in our region. We typically target R-38 to R-49 depending on your home’s layout and ceiling height.
Blown-in insulation fills gaps, settles around wiring and ductwork, and creates a uniform thermal layer across your attic floor. Our installers measure depth and density at multiple points to confirm the target R-value before leaving.
If your energy bills have been climbing or your upstairs rooms run hotter than the rest of your home, schedule a free energy audit and we will measure your current insulation levels.
Old insulation does not last forever. Over time, attic insulation breaks down, compresses, absorbs moisture, and loses R-value. It can also become contaminated with rodent droppings, urine, mold, or dust from deteriorating ductwork. These contaminants affect your indoor air quality every time your HVAC system runs.
Green Attics uses commercial-grade insulation vacuums to safely extract old blown-in fiberglass, cellulose, or damaged batt insulation from your attic. Our team bags and disposes of all removed material. We then inspect the attic deck for moisture damage, pest entry points, and air leaks before installing new insulation.
Do not attempt insulation removal yourself. Disturbing contaminated insulation without proper equipment releases particulates into your living space. Our crew wears full PPE and uses negative-pressure containment to keep your home clean during the process. Learn more about our insulation removal services.
Spray foam insulation does two jobs at once. It insulates and air seals in a single application. That makes it the best option for homes with persistent air leaks, inconsistent room temperatures, or high humidity.
We install both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam depending on the application:
Unlike blown-in insulation, spray foam bonds directly to surfaces and seals cracks, gaps, and penetrations that allow conditioned air to escape. The Department of Energy estimates that air leaks account for 25% to 40% of the energy used for heating and cooling in a typical home.
If your home has rooms that never seem to reach the right temperature, spray foam insulation may solve the problem where other materials cannot.
Most homeowners do not know how much energy their home wastes until they see the data. Green Attics offers a free CPR Energy Audit that identifies insulation gaps, air leaks, duct losses, and HVAC inefficiencies in your home.
During the audit, our comfort advisors inspect your attic insulation depth and condition, check duct connections, test airflow at supply registers, and evaluate your HVAC equipment. You receive a Certified Performance Report (CPR) that shows exactly where your home loses energy and what upgrades will deliver the highest return.
This report becomes the roadmap for any work we recommend. We do not guess, and we do not push services you do not need. The audit is free and comes with no obligation.
A radiant barrier reflects up to 97% of radiant heat away from your living space. In a North Texas summer, your roof absorbs solar radiation and transfers that heat into the attic. Without a radiant barrier, that heat radiates downward through the insulation and into your rooms.
Green Attics installs radiant barrier foil on the underside of roof rafters. The barrier creates an air gap that blocks heat transfer and can reduce attic temperatures by 20°F to 30°F during peak summer months. That means your insulation works more effectively and your air conditioning system runs fewer cycles to keep your home cool.
Pairing a radiant barrier with proper attic insulation is one of the most cost-effective upgrades for DFW homes. It reduces cooling costs and extends the life of your HVAC equipment. Explore our full radiant barrier services.
Solar attic fans pull hot air out of your attic using free energy from the sun. A single fan moves 800 to 1,600 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air, lowering attic temperatures by 15°F to 20°F on peak summer days. That reduces the heat load on your insulation and your HVAC system.
These fans require no electrical wiring and operate automatically when the sun hits the panel. They work best when paired with a radiant barrier and adequate insulation. Together, these three components form a layered defense against heat gain.
Green Attics installs solar attic fans on homes throughout the DFW Metroplex. We position each fan based on your roof orientation, attic square footage, and existing ventilation to maximize airflow.
Not sure if your insulation is the problem? Look for these signs:
If you spot two or more of these, your insulation is likely below the R-38 threshold for DFW homes. A free energy audit will confirm the problem and show you the fix.
Dallas-Fort Worth sits in IECC Climate Zone 3. The 2018 International Energy Conservation Code requires a minimum of R-38 for attic insulation in this zone. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-60 for the best performance.
Here is what those numbers mean in practice:
Most existing DFW homes built before 2010 have R-19 to R-22, which is roughly half the current code requirement. Adding insulation to reach R-38 or R-49 typically pays for itself within 3 to 5 years through lower energy bills.
We follow the same steps on every job so nothing gets missed.

Success Stories
Cost depends on the material, your attic’s square footage, and the target R-value. Blown-in fiberglass to R-38 is the most affordable option for most DFW homes. Spray foam costs more per square foot but provides air sealing in addition to insulation. Call us at (214) 305-5449 for a free estimate based on your home’s specific layout.
Most attic insulation jobs take one day. Spray foam projects may take one to two days depending on the area being treated. Insulation removal adds half a day to a full day before new material goes in. We confirm the timeline during your CPR audit.
Not always. If existing insulation is dry, undamaged, and free of contamination, we can add new material on top to reach the target R-value. If your insulation shows signs of moisture, pest damage, mold, or heavy settling, removal is the right call. Our insulation removal team handles the full process.
There is no single best answer. Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass is the most common and cost-effective choice for attic floors. Spray foam is better for sealing air leaks, rooflines, and crawlspaces. Radiant barriers work best when paired with attic insulation to block heat from the roof. We recommend the right combination during your free energy audit.
Yes. We offer financing options to make insulation upgrades accessible. Ask about current promotions and payment plans when you schedule your consultation.
