Your attic floor has dozens of hidden gaps letting conditioned air escape and desert dust pour in. We seal them, then test before and after so you can see the improvement in real numbers.
Attic air sealing in Roswell means finding every gap, crack, and opening in your attic floor and plugging them so heated or cooled air cannot escape your living space - most jobs take two to six hours on a single visit. Think of it as patching holes in a bucket: insulation alone slows heat loss, but sealing stops the leaks that make your system work overtime. Most homes have dozens of these openings around light fixtures, plumbing pipes, and wall tops that you would never notice from inside.
In Roswell, where summer highs regularly top 100 degrees and winter nights drop below freezing, every gap in your attic floor forces your HVAC system to run longer just to maintain the temperature you set. The Department of Energy estimates that air leaks account for 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating and cooling in a typical home. Sealing first, then insulating, is the order that actually delivers results. If you have been thinking about retrofit insulation, pairing that work with attic air sealing closes both the leaks and the thermal gaps that drive up your utility bills. We can also add air sealing services throughout the rest of your home for a complete solution.
Call us or submit an estimate request and we will inspect your attic, explain exactly what we find, and give you a written quote based on the work your home actually needs.
If your electric bill jumps sharply when Roswell temperatures climb above 95 degrees, your cooling system is likely fighting against air leaking out of your living space through the attic. A well-sealed attic keeps the cool air where it belongs, so your system does not have to run as long or as hard. This is one of the most common and most fixable causes of high summer utility bills in this area.
If the top floor of your home - or rooms with vaulted ceilings - feel significantly warmer in summer or colder in winter than other rooms, air is almost certainly moving between your living space and the attic. This temperature unevenness is a reliable sign that gaps exist above your insulation. It is something you can feel without any special equipment.
Roswell's desert winds carry fine particulates that enter through any unsealed opening in your home's envelope. If you find yourself dusting frequently and the surfaces still feel gritty within a day or two, air is pulling in from outside through gaps in your ceiling. Attic air sealing is often the fix that homeowners in this area do not think to try first.
Hold your hand near a recessed light fixture or a ceiling fan housing on a windy day or when your HVAC is running. If you feel air movement, that fixture is connected to the attic and air is passing through it freely. This is one of the most common and most overlooked leak points in homes of any age.
We start every attic air sealing job with a thorough inspection - locating the biggest gaps around pipes, wiring, light fixtures, and framing. A blower door test before we begin gives us a measurable baseline of how much air your home is leaking. We seal gaps using the right material for each location: spray foam for larger openings around pipes and framing, caulk for smaller cracks along trim and at wall tops, and rigid board material where needed. After the work is complete, we run the blower door test again so you have a clear before-and-after comparison in real numbers, not just a promise that the work made a difference.
For homes that need a complete approach, we pair attic air sealing with retrofit insulation - which addresses the thermal barrier above your living space after the leaks are sealed - and with air sealing services throughout the rest of the home to close gaps in walls and around windows. Both services work together with attic air sealing to close the envelope from top to bottom. Sealing first and insulating second is the sequence that delivers the savings you are hoping for.
Best for homes that have never had professional air sealing and are leaking conditioned air from multiple locations across the attic floor.
Suited to homes that have already had some upgrades but still have specific problem areas - drafty rooms, leaky attic hatches, or gaps around utility penetrations.
Roswell sits in the Chihuahuan Desert and regularly sees summer highs above 100 degrees and winter lows that dip below freezing. That is a 100-degree swing your home has to manage, and every gap in your attic floor makes your heating and cooling system work harder at both ends of the calendar. Air sealing here is not a luxury upgrade - it is one of the most direct ways to keep your energy bills from spiking every July and January. A significant portion of Roswell's residential neighborhoods were built in the mid-20th century, when building practices did not include the air-tightness standards used today. Homes from that era often have large, unsealed openings around plumbing, wiring, and framing that were simply never addressed. If your home was built before the 1980s, there is a very good chance your attic has more leaks than a newer home would.
Roswell and the surrounding Pecos Valley experience frequent high-wind events that kick up fine dust and particulates. Those particles find their way inside through every unsealed gap in your ceiling. Homeowners who struggle with dusty surfaces, allergy symptoms, or a gritty feeling in the air often find that attic air sealing makes a noticeable difference - not just in comfort, but in how often they are cleaning. We also serve homeowners in Artesia and Carlsbad who face the same desert climate challenges.
When you call or submit an estimate request, we will ask a few basic questions about your home's age and what you have been noticing. Most contractors in the Roswell area can schedule an assessment within a week or two. We reply to every request within one business day.
A contractor will visit your home and inspect the attic in person before giving you a firm quote. We look at how accessible the attic is, how much existing insulation is present, and how many gaps and openings we can see. A thorough contractor will also walk through your home to note any obvious signs of air leakage before finalizing the recommendation.
The crew will work in your attic for anywhere from two to six hours, depending on the size of your home and how many openings need to be addressed. We use foam and caulk to seal gaps around pipes, wiring, light fixtures, and framing. The work is contained to the attic - your living space will not be disturbed, though you may notice some noise from above.
When the work is done, a good contractor will walk you through what was found and what was sealed - ideally with photos from inside the attic. If a blower door test was part of the job, we will share the before-and-after numbers so you can see the measurable improvement. Ask for any documentation you will need if you are applying for a utility rebate.
No pressure, no obligation. We will come to your home, tell you exactly what we find, and give you a written quote you can compare at your own pace.

We have sealed attics in homes across Roswell's established neighborhoods - from mid-century ranches near downtown to newer builds on the north side. That experience means we know what gaps to look for in homes of any age and how to access attics that are tight, shallow, or cluttered.
