Rural Homes in a New Town
Spray Foam Insulation in Peralta deals with rural homes in one of the county's newest towns. Peralta was a census-designated place until it incorporated on July 1, 2007, though its history goes back much further: Wikipedia notes the 1862 Battle of Peralta at the end of the Confederate campaign in New Mexico. The 2020 census counted 3,342 residents and 1,353 housing units.
A mix of house types
Peralta's homes sit on larger rural lots between Bosque Farms and Los Lunas, near the river. Larger lots often carry a garage, shed or shop along with the house.
What we look at
In site-built homes with attics, sealing and adding insulation is usually the first step. For flat-roofed sections, foam on the roof can add insulation without opening the ceiling. Detached garages and shops come next. For manufactured homes, options depend on access to the roof and underbelly, so we inspect before quoting.
Low elevation, big swings
Peralta sits at about 4,859 feet, low for the metro, so summers are hot. Winter nights still freeze. OpenEI lists Valencia County in IECC Climate Zone 4B, where DOE recommends R-60 for an empty attic and R-19 for an uninsulated floor.
Phasing the work
Many Peralta owners want to spread projects out. Our quotes list each area separately with its own price, so you can do the attic or roof first and come back for a shop or walls later.
