Spray foam insulation
We spray foam on rooflines, rim joists and the walls of the room over the garage, where there are too many small gaps to seal one at a time.
Insulation contractor in Cabot, AR - comfortable rooms, problems fixed first
Beacon Conway Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor based in Conway, working in Cabot on attics, crawl spaces and walls. We look at what's already in your house, fix what's wrong under it, then insulate.
What insulation jobs in Cabot usually look like
Most of our calls in Cabot start with a hot upstairs, a room over the garage you can't keep cool or a power bill that keeps climbing. In the attic, I usually find that the layer the builder blew in years ago has settled thin, been walked through or gotten wet from a roof leak. In older houses, the crawl space under the cold floors often has its own trouble. We do the same work next door in Ward and out in Beebe, and in every one of those houses, what's under the old insulation decides what we do first.
The price and the schedule turn on the same few things: how many inches are up there now, whether old material has to come out, how many gaps need sealing and how easy the attic or crawl space is to get into. You'll see all of it on the estimate, with what I found and what I'd do written in the order I'd do it.
I come out to every job
I look at every Cabot house myself before we talk about adding anything, and our crew does the work with me or a lead installer on site.
Old problems come out first
If the old insulation is soaked or full of droppings, new material over it just buries the problem, so I'll tell you when removal or a repair has to come first.
Full depth at the edges
We keep the eave vents clear and bring the edges up to full depth, because buried vents trap moisture in the framing and thin edges leave rooms that stay hot.
Insulation services we do in Cabot
Attic insulation
Most attic calls start with a hot upstairs, so we measure the inches already up there and look for wet spots and droppings before adding anything.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in is loose fill blown through a hose, and we spread it so the edges near the eaves get full depth instead of piling up in the middle.
Home insulation
When several rooms are drafty or uneven, we walk the attic, walls and crawl space together and tell you which one is worth fixing first.
Insulation removal
Insulation that's been soaked, packed down or filled with droppings has to come out first, so we vacuum it out and clean up before anything new goes in.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors usually point to the crawl space, so we check for standing water and sagging batts under the house before we insulate between the floor joists.
Wall insulation
For walls that feel cold to the touch, we fill the empty cavities through small holes and plug them after, so you keep your drywall in place.
Air sealing services
Air sealing means closing gaps before insulating, and we work around doors, outlets and the spot where the house sits on its foundation so drafts stop at the source.
Basement insulation
Basement walls stay cool and damp, so we pick a material that handles moisture and pay close attention to the rim joist, where outside air usually gets in.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is a dense foam that also blocks moisture, so we use it in crawl spaces, rim joists and spots where damp air would ruin softer material.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is lighter and softer, and it fills odd roofline shapes well when we foam the underside of the roof, though it isn't the pick where moisture is the problem.
Commercial insulation
Building owners call us about offices and shops too, and we walk the space with you first so the work fits around your hours and your tenants.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A crawl space vapor barrier is plastic sheeting over the dirt under your house, and we overlap the seams and run it up the walls so ground moisture stays down.
Vapor barrier installation
In attics, walls and basements, we put the barrier where it keeps damp air away from the framing, because a barrier on the wrong side can trap water instead.
Attic air sealing
Before we add depth to an attic, we seal around can lights, the hatch and plumbing pipes, since that's where warm air usually slips straight through the insulation.
Retrofit insulation
Older houses rarely have what a new one would, so we add insulation where we can reach it without tearing out finished rooms, and tell you what isn't worth doing.

Questions Cabot homeowners ask about insulation
Here are the questions we hear most in Cabot, from flood maps and licenses to how long you'll be out of the house.
Does insulating my house in Cabot need a floodplain permit?
You need one only if your property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area on a FEMA flood map and the work counts as development, which the city's floodplain permit application describes as a new building, an addition, clearing land, fill or grading. Insulation isn't named there, so I check with the city before we start, and if your job needs a permit, we take care of it.
Does an insulation contractor in Arkansas need a state license?
Yes, in most cases for work over $2,000 on an existing single-family home. Arkansas requires a home improvement license from the state's Residential Contractors Committee to repair, remodel or add to a house, and a bigger job split into smaller contracts doesn't get under that limit. A specialty license covers only its specialty, so ask what a license covers. We're licensed and fully insured.
Do I need flood insurance for my house in Cabot?
You might, even if you're not in a high-risk zone. FEMA says a home may need flood insurance either way, because most homeowners policies leave out flood damage. You can look up your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, and that same map tells you whether the floodplain permit above could apply to your property.
How much does attic insulation cost in Cabot?
The price comes down to what's already up there and what has to happen before new insulation goes in. Wet or dirty material has to come out, gaps get sealed, and foam costs more than loose fill because it seals air while it insulates. Sealing the gaps and topping up loose fill usually wins, unless your ductwork runs through the attic.
Do we have to leave the house when you spray foam the attic?
For spray foam, yes, you, the kids and the pets stay out until the re-entry time passes, which is the wait the foam maker sets before people can come back in. Blown-in fill and air sealing usually don't need you out of the house. I'll tell you how long to plan to be gone before we start.
