Call (830) 420-0953 to schedule - estimates are free, and every job starts with a written price before anyone lifts a tool.
We’ve worked in Seguin long enough to know the local housing stock isn’t uniform. The 2000s-era subdivisions near Kingsbury Road have different problems than the post-WWII wood-frames off Houston Street or the solid lime-concrete structures in the historic district. That variety matters because the wrong insulation method for your wall type wastes money and can create moisture problems Seguin’s humid summers will exploit. Our crews coordinate dispatch from our San Antonio office, but they live and work in the Seguin area regularly.
Why Topside Attic Insulation Converse Is Seguin’s Preferred Blown-In Insulation Company
We’ve sealed and insulated more than 9,000 homes since 2016, and a growing share of that work has been in Seguin as the city’s population has expanded east from San Antonio’s suburban fringe. Our Seguin customers leave reviews mentioning the same things: we show up when we say we will, we explain what we found in plain language, and we leave documentation they can reference later - blower-door numbers, photo records, written scopes.
Response time to Seguin averages same-day or next-day for assessments. For actual installation, we’re typically scheduling within a week, sooner if it’s a straightforward top-up in a newer tract home. We know the local permitting rhythm - Seguin’s building department processes insulation permits differently for historic-district work versus standard attic jobs, and we’ve learned to spec accordingly.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and when you call (830) 420-0953, a live person answers - no voicemail loops, no callback windows measured in business days. Under Haven Standard: Arrive on schedule, you get a named technician and a text when they are on the way.
Our Blown-In Insulation Services in Seguin

Blown-In Fiberglass
We install blown-in fiberglass in Seguin’s newer homes - the 2000s-2020s subdivisions near Kingsbury Road, Weinert Road, and the areas south of TX-46. These homes were typically built with builder-grade blown fiberglass that settles to 1-2 inches over knee-wall and rim-joist areas within five to seven years. The attic hatch looks full, but the top plate is effectively bare. We remove the settled material, seal the top plates and penetrations, then blow fresh Owens Corning or Johns Manville fiberglass to the depth your target R-value requires. Most Seguin attic jobs in this category run $2,400-$3,800.

Blown-In Cellulose
Blown-in cellulose works well in Seguin’s standard wood-frame construction with open attic floors - the post-WWII bungalows off Houston Street and similar neighborhoods where the framing is conventional and the attic is vented. Cellulose has slightly better air-blocking characteristics than fiberglass at equal density, which matters in Seguin’s climate where summer dew points regularly exceed 70°F. We source from GreenFiber and other suppliers, and we never blow cellulose over an unsealed attic floor - that’s Haven Standard protocol. Air sealing of top plates, can lights, and penetrations is completed first.

Dense-Pack Wall Insulation
Dense-pack is for walls with cavities - the post-WWII wood-frame bungalows in Seguin, not the lime-concrete historic core. We drill access holes, pack cellulose or fiberglass to 3.5-4.0 pounds per cubic foot, and seal. The density prevents settling and slows air movement through the wall. For Seguin’s humid climate, we pair dense-pack with targeted air sealing and, where the building science calls for it, a smart vapor retarder. We’ve dense-packed walls in homes off Court Street’s periphery - the wood-frame neighbors of the limecrete structures - and the results show in the blower-door numbers.

Blown-In Top-Up
The most common call we get in Seguin. Homeowners in subdivisions built 2005-2020 notice their energy bills climbing and assume the HVAC is failing. Often it’s simply settled insulation. We probe the depth, measure the coverage, and calculate what’s missing. A typical top-up in a 2,200-square-foot Seguin home runs $1,200-$2,200 and takes a single day. We document before-and-after depth with photos, and on applicable jobs we run a blower-door test - a pressurization reading that shows, in one number, how much air your building envelope was losing before and after our work.

Before
AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Seguin
We stock and install materials from Owens Corning, Johns Manville, and Knauf - no proprietary lock-in, no brand exclusivity. For Seguin customers, this means we can match existing insulation types when doing a top-up, and we can source quickly without waiting on specialty orders. If your home already has Owens Corning blown fiberglass from the original build, we can extend with the same product or switch to a higher-density alternative if the building science supports it. We keep common densities and R-values on hand because Seguin’s summer heat doesn’t leave much margin for delay once a homeowner decides to act.
Common Blown-In Insulation Problems We See in Seguin Homes

- Settled builder-grade fiberglass in 2000s-2020s tract homes. The subdivisions near Kingsbury Road and Weinert Road were built fast, and attic insulation was often blown to minimum code depth without addressing knee walls or rim joists. Five years later, the homeowner sees full coverage at the attic hatch but finds bare spots over the top plate where conditioned air leaks into the attic.
- Contractors misquoting blown-in for lime-concrete walls in the historic district. We’ve been called to Court Street homes where a previous contractor quoted standard blown-in or dense-pack for solid masonry walls with no cavity. The job either fails inspection or gets abandoned. The correct retrofit is closed-cell spray foam against the interior face, which also serves as the vapor retarder Seguin’s humid summers demand.
- Skipped vapor management creating condensation in wall assemblies. Seguin sits east of the Balcones Escarpment in a noticeably more humid zone than Hill Country cities to the west. When blown-in is installed next to an unsealed vapor path in an older masonry structure, summer dew points above 70°F drive moisture into the assembly. Local code inspectors have started flagging this specifically.
- Balloon-framing air leaks in post-WWII wood-frame homes. The bungalows off Houston Street and similar Seguin neighborhoods often have balloon framing - wall cavities that run uninterrupted from foundation to attic. Without dense-pack and targeted air sealing, these cavities function as chimneys, moving conditioned air and moisture through the structure year-round.

FAQs - Blown-In Insulation in Seguin

No. Solid lime-concrete walls have no stud cavity, so blown-in insulation is physically impossible. The only viable retrofit is closed-cell spray foam applied to the interior face, which also provides the vapor retarder Seguin’s 70°F+ summer dew points require. We were called to a 2,400 sq ft home off Court Street where a previous contractor had quoted blown-in cellulose for the exterior walls, but when our tech probed the wall, he found solid limecrete with no cavity - nothing to blow into. We switched the spec to closed-cell spray foam against the interior face. Six months later attic temps on the west side were holding 18°F cooler and no condensation staining had appeared. Call (830) 420-0953 if you’re unsure what wall type you have - we’ll probe and tell you before quoting.
Builder-grade blown fiberglass in Seguin’s 2000s-2020s tract homes typically settles to 1-2 inches over knee-wall and rim-joist areas within five to seven years, leaving the top plate effectively uninsulated while the attic hatch still looks full. We probe depth, photograph the bare spots, and calculate a top-up to your target R-value. Most 2015-era Seguin homes need 6-10 additional inches to reach R-38 or R-49. Call (830) 420-0953 for a free assessment - we’ll show you exactly what we found.
In Seguin’s humid climate, vapor management is often required - not optional. East of the Balcones Escarpment, summer dew points regularly exceed 70°F, creating condensation risk inside wall assemblies that drier markets to the west don’t face. For standard vented attics with blown-in fiberglass or cellulose, a vapor barrier on the warm-in-winter side (the ceiling drywall) is typically already present. For wall retrofits and historic masonry structures, we specify smart vapor retarders or closed-cell spray foam as the assembly demands. We never skip this step; local code inspectors have started flagging moisture issues specifically in older masonry retrofits where blown-in was installed next to an unsealed vapor path. Call (830) 420-0953 and we’ll review your specific assembly.
Seguin homes with ductwork in unconditioned attic space - which is most of them - should target R-38 to R-49 in the attic floor. Attic temperatures here routinely spike past 145°F in July and August, and every inch of insulation reduces the thermal load your ductwork must fight. For homes with spray-foamed rafters and conditioned attics, the calculus changes; we adjust the spec accordingly. Most Seguin top-ups we quote assume R-49 for vented attics, which translates to roughly 14-18 inches of blown fiberglass or 12-15 inches of cellulose depending on product density. Call (830) 420-0953 for a measurement and written scope.
Yes, if the walls have cavities and the framing is standard platform or balloon framing. We’ve dense-packed walls in Seguin homes off Houston Street and similar neighborhoods - drill access holes, pack to 3.5-4.0 pounds per cubic foot, seal, and verify. For balloon-framed structures, we pay special attention to fire-blocking and air sealing at the top and bottom of cavities to prevent the chimney effect. The typical dense-pack job in a 1,200-1,800 sq ft Seguin bungalow runs $3,200-$5,600. Call (830) 420-0953 for a wall assessment - we’ll probe a cavity and confirm the construction type before writing the price.
