Insulating Along the River
Spray Foam Insulation in the South Valley is work on a big, varied community. The 2020 census counted 38,338 people and 14,721 housing units here, making it larger than most towns in the state, but it remains unincorporated. In 2010 voters rejected incorporation by 93 to 7 percent, so Bernalillo County, not a city government, handles permits and building services.
What the houses look like
The Rio Grande runs north to south through the middle of the South Valley, with Albuquerque bordering it on the north, east and part of the west. The housing mixes older adobe and frame homes on irrigated land, mid-century houses, and newer construction. Flat roofs are common on the older homes, and many lots have a garage or shop that started out uninsulated.
Low elevation, hot afternoons
At about 4,928 feet, the South Valley sits near the lowest part of the metro. Summers are hot and dry and winter nights still drop below freezing. The roof takes most of the summer heat, so that is where we start: attic insulation and sealing on pitched roofs, foam on top of flat ones.
Practical upgrades
Not every house needs foam everywhere. Often the best plan is to seal the ceiling and blow in more insulation, or to foam just a flat-roofed section. If the budget is tight, we list each area separately so the most important part can be done first.
Rebates
New Mexico Gas Company lists rebates of up to $1,000 for attic or roof and crawlspace insulation and up to $200 for air sealing. If your home is on its service, those can cover part of the cost. Check the program terms before work starts.

South Valley Questions
Who issues permits in the South Valley?
Bernalillo County, since the South Valley is unincorporated. Roofing and remodel work may need a county permit; we let you know what applies.
Can I do the insulation in stages?
Yes. Each area is priced separately, so you can do the roof or attic first and walls or a shop later.
Is foam worth it on an older flat roof?
If the roof is due for replacement, a foam roof adds insulation and a new surface in one job. If the roof is fine, we look at other options.
Does New Mexico Gas Company give rebates in the South Valley?
Its rebates apply to its residential customers. If you are one, the insulation rebate lists up to $1,000. Check the current terms first.
