A Planned Development Grown Up
Spray Foam Insulation in Rio Communities works with homes from a planned development across the river from Belen. Wikipedia notes that the community was developed by the Horizon Corporation, which sold lots, and that it remained a census-designated place until it incorporated as a city on May 16, 2013. The 2020 census counted 4,926 residents and 2,160 housing units.
Similar houses, similar problems
Planned developments tend to share floor plans and construction methods, which means homes of the same age often have the same weak spots. Thin attic insulation, gaps at the attic hatch and light fixtures, and uninsulated garage ceilings are the usual suspects in homes of this kind, and we confirm on the visit.
Budget and phasing
For owners watching costs, the quote breaks the work into separate items, so the attic or roof can come first and other areas can wait.
Roofs
Some homes have flat or low-slope roofs. When those come due for replacement, foam roofing adds insulation on top of the deck along with a new coated surface. For pitched roofs, attic sealing and blown-in insulation are usually the best value.
Zone and elevation
Rio Communities sits at about 4,944 feet in Valencia County, Climate Zone 4B on OpenEI's list. DOE recommends R-60 for an empty attic and adding R-49 to an attic with 3 to 4 inches.
