Insulation contractor services in Midland, TX
DraftWise Midland Insulation Solutions is an insulation contractor in Midland, TX, and since 2013 we've worked on hot upstairs rooms, cold floors and attics that leak air into the house. We offer 16 services, but most houses only need a few of them. The price moves with how much attic or wall there is, how many inches are already up there, whether old insulation has to come out first and how many gaps need sealing. The schedule turns on those same things, plus any repairs we find and a permit if your job calls for one. I'll come out, look it over and put your number in a written estimate.
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam goes on wet and swells into every crack, so it seals air and insulates in one pass. It costs more than loose fill, and it usually earns that when your ductwork runs through the attic.
Attic insulation
Hot upstairs or a power bill that climbs every summer? We seal the attic first, then bring the insulation to full depth all the way out to the edges, not just in the middle.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is loose fill we blow through a hose, and it's the usual way to top up an attic that's settled thin. We keep it clear of the eave vents so the attic can still breathe.
Home insulation
Not sure where your house is losing heat? We look at the attic, walls, floors and crawl space together and tell you which ones need work and which can wait.
Insulation removal
When old insulation is soaked, matted down or full of droppings, putting new material on top just hides the problem. We vacuum it out and clean up so the new layer starts on a clean attic.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors over a crawl space usually mean the insulation under them has fallen down or was never put in. We insulate the crawl space so the floor above stops pulling cold into the room.
Wall insulation
We insulate open walls in new framing and finished walls in older houses. For finished walls, we fill the cavities through small holes and patch them when we're done.
Air sealing services
Air sealing is closing the gaps around pipes, wiring, can lights and the attic hatch before any insulation goes in. Skip it and the insulation spends all summer fighting a draft.
Basement insulation
For houses with a basement, we insulate the walls and the rim, the wood band where the house sits on the foundation. That keeps the room downstairs closer to the temperature of the rest of the house.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is the dense kind that also blocks moisture. It's what we reach for on metal buildings, rim joists and anywhere damp gets in.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is softer and lighter than closed-cell, and it fills a roof deck or wall cavity for less money. It doesn't stop moisture, so we keep it out of damp spots.
Commercial insulation
We insulate shops, metal buildings and small commercial spaces for owners and landlords. Same as a house, we find the leaks first and then decide what goes on top.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A crawl space vapor barrier is heavy plastic laid over the dirt under your house. It keeps ground moisture from soaking into your floor framing and the insulation under it.
Vapor barrier installation
We install vapor barriers in walls, ceilings and buildings where moisture would otherwise get into the insulation and the wood behind it.
Attic air sealing
Why seal an attic you're about to insulate? Because air moves through gaps no matter how deep the insulation is, and this is the job we're best known for.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation means adding insulation to a house that's already built, usually an older one with thin attics and empty walls. We work around your finished rooms and clean up when we're done.

Midland homes, older and newer
Midland is home for us, and it's a city with plenty to do once the work's done. Families watch wildlife around the urban playa at Watersong Wild Space, kids run through the child-size Energy City at the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum, and the Museum of the Southwest campus holds the Historic Turner Mansion, the Blakemore Planetarium and a children's museum.
The houses we get into here run from older homes with thin, settled attics to newer builds whose attics were never sealed, plus shops and metal buildings out past the neighborhoods. Whatever the house, I'd rather you pay for what it needs and skip the rest, which is why I went from selling this work to doing it. You can read how we got started.

Why Midland homeowners call our crew
Priced by an installer
I've done the installs, so I tell you what your house needs and what can wait.
Every step on its own line
Sealing, repairs and insulation each get a line, so you can compare it with other bids.
I check the finished job
I look over the finished job myself, so what you bought is what you get.
Safety checked before sealing
We check gas appliances and old wiring before we seal, because a tighter attic changes airflow.

About usFrom your first call to a finished attic
Call or send the form
Call (432) 218-4671 or send the form and tell us what you're noticing, like a hot room upstairs, cold floors or a power bill that keeps climbing. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out to your house.
I look and write it up
I come out myself and get up in the attic or down in the crawl space. I'm looking for anything that has to be fixed first, like soaked insulation, droppings, buried vents or old wiring. Then you get a free written estimate that lays out each step, with no pressure to book.
Our installers do the work
Once you say go, our installers get to work. They seal the gaps first, keep the eave vents clear so the attic can breathe and then insulate to an even depth across the whole space. If something new turns up once the job is open, we tell you before we go further.
I check it before it's done
When the installers finish, I go back up and check the work against what I wrote in your estimate. It isn't done until it matches. Then we clean up, show you what we did and answer whatever questions you've got about your house.

Common questions
How much does attic insulation cost in Midland, TX?
It depends on the size of your attic, how many inches are already up there and how many gaps need sealing, so I give you a number after I've been up there. Pulling out old, dirty insulation first adds to the cost, and so does choosing spray foam over loose fill.
Is spray foam worth the extra cost over blown-in insulation?
Usually not, unless your ductwork runs through the attic. Foam costs more because it seals air and insulates in one step, which matters when your ducts sit up there in the heat. Otherwise, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in is usually the better buy.
How long will the insulation crew be in my attic?
It depends on the attic, and I'll tell you what to expect for yours when I write the estimate. Removing old insulation, fixing what we find first and waiting on a permit, if your job needs one, all add time.
Is DraftWise Midland Insulation Solutions licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. The City of Midland also requires contractors who build or renovate there to register with the city, and a $10,000 bond has to be approved by the city attorney before any permits are issued.
Do I have to leave the house while you insulate?
For blown-in insulation and air sealing, you can usually stay home while we work. Spray foam is different, so everyone, kids and pets included, stays out until the re-entry time, the point when it's safe to come back in, and I'll give you that time before we start.
Do you guarantee your insulation work?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If something about the job doesn't sit right with you, call (432) 218-4671 and tell us.
Can you put new insulation over my old attic insulation?
Usually yes, as long as the old insulation is dry, clean and free of droppings. If it's been soaked or animals have been living in it, new material on top just covers the problem, so we pull it out first. Either way, we seal the gaps before anything new goes in.
Do I need a permit for insulation work in Midland, TX?
It depends on the job, and the city's Development Services Department is the place to ask, since it handles permit applications. Most construction projects in Midland need a building permit. If yours does, we pull it as your contractor, handle the paperwork and wait for it to be issued before we start.
