Spray Foam Insulation in Emory, TX

Spray Foam Insulation in Emory serves the Rains County seat, a town of 1,251 at the 2020 census that sits between Lake Tawakoni to the west and Lake Fork Reservoir to the east. Wikipedia lists the climate as humid subtropical, with hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. Being between two big lakes means a lot of lake houses, rentals and second homes in the area, along with the houses in town.

A place named for a homestead law

Emory was once called Springville. The town and the county are named for Emory Rains, the legislator who wrote the Homestead Law of Texas, which later served as a model for homestead protection across the country. That history is part of a county where a lot of people own their land and plan to stay on it, often in a house that has been added onto over time.

Housing in town

The 2020 census counted 559 housing units in Emory, 15.6% of them vacant, with a homeowner vacancy rate of 6.9%. A higher vacancy rate than nearby towns fits a place where some houses are second homes or between owners. A house that sits empty in a humid climate benefits from good air sealing and a dry crawl space, because moisture builds up when nobody is running the AC regularly.

What we usually recommend

For a one-story house in Emory, the attic usually comes first: seal the ceiling, seal the duct boots, and either blow deep insulation or foam the roof deck if the air handler is up there. For raised houses and cabins, closed-cell foam under the floor. For shops and boat storage, closed-cell on the steel. Each part gets priced separately so you can do it in stages.
