Insulation for Tyler’s older neighborhoods and newer homes

Tyler has deep housing roots. The Brick Streets neighborhood south of the square was built mostly between 1890 and 1940, and the Azalea District filled in during the 1930s oil boom. Houses from that era were framed long before energy codes, and many still have thin attic insulation, open wall cavities or floors with nothing under them.

Newer homes toward the edges of town have their own issue. They usually got the code minimum when they were built, and a muggy Tyler summer shows where that falls short. In both cases we start with the attic, then check the walls and the crawl space.

What Tyler homeowners notice after an upgrade

Warmer floors in winter

Fewer air leaks means less humid outside air pulled into the house.

Steadier rooms

Back bedrooms and additions stop running hotter than the rest.

Character kept

Plaster and original trim stay in place when walls are filled from small holes.

Tyler insulation FAQ

Can you insulate the walls of an older Tyler home?
  • Often yes, by blowing insulation into closed walls through small holes that get patched.
  • We check the wall framing and wiring first to make sure it is a good fit.
My house is on pier and beam. Should the floor be insulated?
  • Usually yes. ENERGY STAR recommends R-19 for floors in this climate zone.
  • We look for standing water and venting problems in the crawl space first. Read our crawl space guide.
What if my old attic has vermiculite?
  • It looks like small gray brown pebbles and may contain asbestos.
  • We leave it alone and recommend testing before any work starts.
