Melissa's New Homes

Spray Foam Insulation in Melissa is mostly about brand-new houses. Melissa had 1,350 residents and 501 housing units in 2000. By 2020 it had 13,901 residents and 4,444 housing units. That means nearly nine out of ten homes in town were built this century, most of them recently, many with two stories, a bonus room and the HVAC in the attic.

Builder-grade is a starting point

A new house meets the code in force when it was permitted, but code minimum is not the same as comfortable. The usual issues in new Melissa homes are thin spots in the blown-in near the eaves and around the air handler, kneewalls around bonus rooms with batts that do not touch the drywall, and duct boots never sealed to the ceiling. We find and fix those, and price foam on the roof deck if you want the attic brought inside.

Weather history

Melissa knows severe weather. An F4 tornado struck on April 13, 1921, killing 13 people and wrecking churches, cotton gins, businesses and the railway station. The town rebuilt, then burned in 1929, and shrank to 285 people by 1949. Today's spring storms are a reminder to check attic insulation after any roof repair, since a leak or a crew walking around up there can leave it wet or flattened.

Where Melissa sits

State Highway 5 runs through the center of town, SH 121 through the east and US 75 along the west. US 75 and SH 121 meet in southwest Melissa and run 6 miles to McKinney, so we are close by for estimates and follow-up.

What new-home fixes cost

Most new Melissa attics do not need a full redo. Sealing duct boots and ceiling penetrations and evening out thin areas is a modest job; HomeGuide's national range for air sealing is $350 to $3,000, and an average attic insulation job runs $1,000 to $2,700. Closed-cell foam under a bonus room floor over the garage is a separate line. Roof deck foam costs more and is worth it mainly when the upstairs stays uncomfortable after the basics are fixed. We write it all down so you can decide.

Melissa Questions

Our Melissa house is two years old. Why is the bonus room hot?

Bonus rooms are surrounded by attic on several sides. Gaps in kneewall insulation and unsealed floor framing over the garage are the usual causes, and both can be fixed.

Will extra insulation void our builder warranty?

That depends on your builder's warranty terms. Check them before any work; we can describe exactly what we would change.

Should we add blown-in or go to foam?

If the attic is mostly fine but thin in spots, sealing and topping up is usually enough. If ducts and equipment are in the attic and comfort is poor, foam on the roof deck is worth pricing.

Can you just fix the thin spots instead of redoing the whole attic?

Yes. If most of the attic is fine, we seal the leaks and fill the thin areas. That is often all a new house needs.
