Open Country, Cold Winters
Spray Foam Insulation in Moriarty serves a small city on the open plain of the Estancia Valley. Moriarty sits at about 6,224 feet in Torrance County, roughly ten miles east of Edgewood, and had 1,946 residents at the 2020 census. Out here there is little to block the wind, and winter nights are colder than in Albuquerque, which is roughly 900 feet lower.
Homes and farm buildings
Moriarty grew as a farming and ranching town along old Route 66; Wikipedia notes the annual Pinto Bean Fiesta held there each October. Homes range from older frame houses in town to newer houses on acreage, and farm and ranch properties carry barns, equipment sheds and shops. At the 2000 census the city had 775 housing units.
Zone 5B
OpenEI lists Torrance County in IECC Climate Zone 5B. DOE recommends R-60 for an uninsulated attic and R-30 for uninsulated floors in that zone. Many older Moriarty houses have far less in the attic and nothing under the floor.
Steel buildings
A metal building in open country takes the full force of sun and wind. Closed-cell foam on the roof and walls stops the drip that forms when warm air meets cold steel, and makes a shop workable without running a heater all day. For equipment storage, a roof-only job may be enough.
Wind and air sealing
The same open terrain that makes Moriarty a destination for glider pilots pushes air through a house. Sealing the ceiling, sill and penetrations is often the cheapest improvement in comfort.

Moriarty Questions
Do you insulate farm buildings around Moriarty?
Yes. Equipment sheds, barns and shops can get closed-cell foam on the roof, the walls, or both, depending on how they are used.
Will air sealing help with wind in my Moriarty house?
Yes. Wind pushes air through gaps at the ceiling, sill and around penetrations. Sealing those often makes the biggest difference in comfort.
What R-value should my attic have here?
DOE recommends R-60 for an uninsulated attic in Climate Zone 5, which includes Torrance County. We measure what you have and quote the top-up.
Do you work on manufactured homes?
We can look at options such as underbelly and roof work. Some manufactured homes have limited access, so we inspect before quoting.
