A Town Built for the War Effort

Spray Foam Insulation in Wake Village often means homes from the town's very beginning. Wake Village was founded in 1944 for the war effort, to house workers at the Red River Army Depot and the Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant, and was named for Wake Island in the Pacific. Original postwar homes still stand in sections named for wartime places such as Manila, Guam, Singapore and Burma Victory, and 1950s neighborhoods named Esther and Marianna hold mid-century modern homes.

Wartime and mid-century houses

Homes built quickly in the 1940s and 1950s were not built with much insulation. They typically have shallow attics with a few inches of old material, crawl spaces or slabs with no floor insulation, and walls that may be empty. Many have been updated over the decades, but the attic and crawl space are often untouched.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 5,945 residents and 2,489 housing units, with only 4.7 percent vacant and a homeowner vacancy rate of 1.9 percent. Homes here stay occupied and are often owned for years, which makes insulation upgrades worth doing.

What we recommend most

Seal the attic floor and blow in to depth. Insulate the floor or seal the crawl space if the house has one. For mid-century homes with low-slope roofs and little attic space, dense-pack or foam through an access point may be the only option.

Mid-century modern

Mid-century homes with flat or low-slope roofs and big windows are hard to insulate without changing their look. We work from the inside and the roof cavity where possible.

Code

Bowie County is Climate Zone 3A. Texas uses the 2015 IRC energy chapter, with R-38 ceilings in Zone 3.

Small attics, low budgets

Many wartime homes have small attics with low roofs. Blown-in insulation reaches the tight edges a person cannot, and it is one of the most affordable improvements. We seal what we can reach first, especially the hatch, plumbing vents and any open chases.
