Spray Foam Insulation in Mertzon, TX

Spray Foam Insulation in Mertzon covers the county seat of Irion County, part of the San Angelo metropolitan area. Mertzon was incorporated in 1933, sits at about 2,201 feet, and had 747 residents in the 2020 census.

A small housing stock

The 2020 census counted 366 housing units in Mertzon, 15.3% of them vacant, and 310 households. The census considers the whole city rural. Homes range from older frame houses to newer homes and manufactured homes, many on lots with a shop or barn. In older homes we usually find thin attic insulation and open gaps at the top plates and around flues.

Ranch buildings

Irion County is ranch country, and steel buildings are common. In summer, foam on the roof keeps them cooler; in winter, closed-cell foam stops condensation from dripping onto feed, saddles and equipment.

Older residents

The Irion County area has many longtime households. Simple improvements like sealing the attic hatch, sealing ceiling penetrations and blowing in insulation to depth can make a house noticeably easier to keep comfortable.

Targets

Irion County is classified as Climate Zone 3B by OpenEI. The 2015 code table Texas uses lists R-38 for ceilings and R-19 for floors in Zone 3.

Manufactured homes

Manufactured homes are part of the housing mix around Mertzon. These homes have a shallow roof cavity and an insulated belly under the floor instead of a walk-in attic. The most useful work is often sealing the ducts and the gaps where the home's sections join, repairing the belly wrap and insulation, and adding skirting insulation if the space underneath is open. We look at the specific home before pricing anything.

Older frame homes

Older homes in town often have the same issues we see across West Texas: thin attic insulation, ducts with open joints, and gaps at the top of the walls. Sealing the attic floor and adding depth is usually the best first step.

Schools and county services

The Irion County ISD and county offices make Mertzon the center of the county. Many people who work there live in town, and their homes tend to be lived in year-round, which makes insulation work pay back steadily.
