Insulating Homes in Paris
Spray Foam Insulation in Paris works in a city shaped by fire and storm. Paris is the Lamar County seat in Northeast Texas at the western edge of the Piney Woods, with 24,171 residents at the 2020 census. Wikipedia lists its climate as humid subtropical, with a record high of 115F in August 1936 and about 48.9 inches of precipitation a year in the 1991-2020 normals. The city is in USDA hardiness zone 8a, a touch cooler in winter than Dallas.
Rebuilt after fires and a tornado
Major fires in 1877, 1896 and 1916 forced large-scale rebuilding. The 1916 fire destroyed almost half the town, including most of the central business district and a residential area. Then on April 2, 1982, an F4 tornado destroyed more than 1,500 homes. The result is a city where a house's age can change from one block to the next: stately homes that survived the 1916 fire, houses built right after it, and many homes rebuilt in the 1980s. Each era has its own insulation habits, and we check what is actually in the attic and walls rather than guessing from the street.
A big share of renters
The 2020 census counted 11,569 housing units in Paris, and the 2020 American Community Survey estimated that 49.6% were owner-occupied and 50.4% renter-occupied. Landlords tend to want the best return per dollar, which is usually sealing the attic floor and blowing in insulation. Owners planning to stay often go further, with foam on the roof deck or under the floor.
Tornado Alley
Paris sits in Tornado Alley, and wind-driven rain and storms are part of life here. After a storm, we check for wet insulation and soft decking before adding anything, because foam or blown-in laid over a hidden leak only makes it worse.

Paris Questions
Do you work in Paris, TX?
Yes. Paris is at the north end of our service area, about 37 miles up State Highway 19 from Sulphur Springs.
My house was rebuilt after the 1982 tornado. What should I expect?
Usually standard 1980s framing with batts in the walls and a few inches in the attic. Sealing the ceiling and adding attic depth is the common first step.
Can you insulate a historic home without opening walls?
Often, yes. The attic and floor can be done without touching finishes, and some walls can be dense-packed through small holes.
