Spray Foam Insulation in Queen City, TX

Spray Foam Insulation in Queen City serves a small Cass County city about 22 miles from Texarkana via U.S. 59, bordered on the south by Atlanta. Queen City had 301 residents in 1880, peaked at 1,748 in 1980 and 1990, and counted 1,397 in 2020.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 737 housing units, 17.2 percent vacant, with a homeowner vacancy rate of 4.5 percent. The town grew most between 1880 and 1980, and older homes from those decades usually have thin attic insulation, ducts with leaky joints and crawl spaces or slabs with no floor insulation.

Households

In 2020, 36.9 percent of households were single-person and 31.3 percent had children under 18. Single-person homes and families alike benefit from lower bills and steadier temperatures.

Humidity

Like the rest of the area, Queen City has humid summers and plenty of rain. Crawl spaces stay damp, and sealing the floor or the crawl space keeps that air out of the house.

What we recommend

Seal the attic floor and blow in to depth, then address the crawl space. If the air handler is in the attic, we price roof-deck foam as an alternative.

Code

Cass County is Climate Zone 3A. Texas uses the 2015 IRC energy chapter: R-38 ceilings and R-19 floors in Zone 3.

Rental homes

With a rental vacancy rate of 14.8 percent in 2020, some homes in Queen City are rentals between tenants. That is a good time to clean out an attic or crawl space and insulate without disturbing anyone.

Crawl spaces

Crawl space homes here face the same humidity as the rest of the region. Fallen or sagging batts under the floor are a common sight. Removing them and foaming the floor with closed-cell, or sealing the crawl space, keeps damp air out of the house.
