Leading Insulation Contractor in Roswell NM - A Cooler Upstairs and Fewer Drafts
Atlas Roswell Spray Foam Insulation handles attic insulation, spray foam and drafty rooms in Roswell, Artesia and the cities around them. We also pull out insulation soaked by flood water, so the new layer goes on clean and dry.
We insulate and air seal attics, walls and crawl spaces for homeowners, landlords and business owners in Roswell whose rooms run too hot or too cold.
Roswell sits in the Pecos Valley, below the southern tip of the Rockies, and it's the hub of Southeastern New Mexico. Most folks here know the Spring River Zoo and its parkland, the UFO museum downtown and the Roswell Museum, which is closed for now after the October 2024 flood. We're based here and work in houses all over town, from older homes with thin, settled attic insulation to newer ones with the ductwork running overhead.
The city's building code list puts Roswell in climate zone 3B, a warm, dry zone with a frost depth of just 12 inches and a light snow load. For insulation, that means most of our work here is keeping summer heat from soaking down through the attic and stopping winter wind from finding the gaps. Water still gets under houses here now and then, so if you're curious about the ground under yours, the city's online maps on its website cover flood zones and are a good place to start before I take a look at your crawl space.

See it, then decide
We show you what's going on in your attic, walls or crawl space and why each step matters. That way you can weigh any bid, ours included.
Problems fixed first
If we find a roof leak or old wiring, we point it out so it's fixed before anything new goes in. Fresh insulation over a problem only hides it.
Respect for your home
Our crew covers floors on the way to the attic and cleans up before leaving, because somebody lives here. We work around the boxes stored up there and put them back where we found them.
Insulation contractor services in Roswell, NM
Atlas Roswell Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor in Roswell, NM, and we offer 16 services for attics, walls, crawl spaces, basements and commercial buildings. Most calls start with a hot upstairs, cold floors, a drafty room over the garage or a power bill that keeps climbing. The price mostly comes down to how big the space is, how easy it is to reach, whether old or wet insulation has to come out first and which material fits your house. The schedule turns on the same things, mostly how much removal and sealing the job needs, and your estimate gives you the figure for your own house.
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam goes on as a liquid and expands into the gaps, sealing air while it insulates, which suits attics with ductwork and odd-shaped spaces.
Attic insulation
Hot upstairs all summer? We check how many inches are already in your attic, fix what's wrong, then add enough to even out the rooms below.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is loose fill we blow through a hose, so it settles into corners and reaches full depth out at the edges, not just the middle.
Home insulation
Not sure where your house is losing heat? We look at the attic, walls and crawl space together and tell you which one to fix first.
Insulation removal
We vacuum out insulation that's been soaked, packed flat or filled with droppings, so the new layer doesn't sit on top of the same problem.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors in winter usually start in the crawl space, and we insulate under the house so the rooms above feel warmer underfoot.
Wall insulation
Walls left open during a remodel get batts or foam before the drywall goes up, and closed walls in older houses can be filled without tearing them out.
Air sealing services
Most drafts come through small gaps nobody sees, and air sealing closes them with caulk and foam so heated and cooled air stays in your rooms.
Basement insulation
We insulate basement walls and rim joists, the framing that sits on the foundation, so a basement you use stays closer to the rest of the house.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is dense foam that blocks moisture and adds stiffness, a good fit for rim joists, metal buildings and spots where damp is a worry.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is softer and lighter, costs less than closed-cell and quiets noise, so we use it in attic rooflines and inside walls where moisture isn't a concern.
Commercial insulation
Shops, offices and rental buildings that run too hot or too cold get the same look-first approach, with insulation chosen for how the building is used.
Crawl space vapor barrier
We lay heavy plastic over the dirt in your crawl space and seal the seams, so ground moisture stays down and doesn't soak into wood and insulation.
Vapor barrier installation
Worried about moisture getting into walls or floors? We install vapor barriers, sheets that slow moisture, on the side that keeps your framing and insulation dry.
Attic air sealing
Before we add insulation upstairs, we seal around can lights, pipes, wires and the attic hatch, where your heated and cooled air slips into the attic.
Retrofit insulation
We bring older houses with thin or settled insulation up to date without a remodel, working from the attic, crawl space or small holes in the walls.

Insulation work, up close
Insulation questions from Roswell homeownersWhat people ask first.
How much does insulation cost in Roswell, NM?
There's no honest number until I've seen your attic, walls or crawl space, because the same size house can need a quick top-up or a full cleanout. That's why the estimate is done on site, free and with no obligation, so you get a price for your own house.
Why is one insulation quote so much higher than another?
Usually the higher quote includes prep the lower one skips, like pulling out bad insulation, sealing gaps and keeping the eave vents clear. Insulation laid over open gaps around lights and pipes ends up fighting a draft, and buried eave vents can trap moisture in the framing. Ask every contractor, us included, exactly what happens before the new insulation goes in.
How long does it take to insulate an attic?
It depends on how big the attic is, how easy it is to get into and whether old insulation has to come out first, and I'll tell you what to expect for your job at the estimate. Foam jobs also have a re-entry time, the stretch before you, the kids and the pets can come back inside, and we go over that before we start.
Is Atlas Roswell Spray Foam Insulation licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. Ask to see proof of insurance at the estimate, and ask the same of anyone else you're comparing, because it protects you if something goes wrong on your property.
Do you remove old insulation before adding new insulation?
We take it out when it's been soaked, packed flat or fouled with droppings, because new insulation on top just keeps the problem in the house. Clean, dry insulation can usually stay, and we add over it once the gaps are sealed. I'll show you photos of which one you've got before we decide.
Do you guarantee your insulation work?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If anything about the finished job bothers you, call me at (575) 363-2021, since I still answer the phone myself.
Is spray foam better than blown-in insulation for an attic?
Not always, and for a plain attic floor, sealing the gaps and topping up blown-in usually wins because it costs less and does the job. Foam costs more, but it seals air while it insulates, so it's worth it when your ductwork runs through the attic. We'll tell you which one fits your house after we've looked.
Do I need a permit to insulate my house in Roswell?
It depends on the job, so we check with the right city or state office for yours and go over what we learn at the estimate. The city's Building Inspection office issues building permits for renovations, remodels and additions, and electrical permits now go through the State of New Mexico until further notice. When your job needs a permit, we take care of it.
About Atlas Roswell Spray Foam Insulation
