Spray foam insulation
Foam seals and insulates at once, which suits the room over the garage or an attic full of ductwork. It costs more, so I'll tell you when you don't need it.
Insulation contractor in Little Rock, AR - even rooms from attic to crawl space
Beacon Conway Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor working in Little Rock, AR. We insulate attics, walls and crawl spaces, seal the drafts around them and check what's already there before we add anything new.
Insulating Little Rock houses, older and newer
We're an insulation contractor based in Conway, AR, and Little Rock is the biggest city we drive to. The houses here run the whole range. Some are older homes near downtown with a few tired inches in the attic. Others are in newer subdivisions, where the attic looks fine from the hatch but thins out toward the edges. Building owners call us about commercial space here too, and we do the same work nearby in North Little Rock, Sherwood and Maumelle.
The price usually turns on four things. How many inches are already up there, whether old insulation has to come out first, how much sealing the gaps need and how easy the attic or crawl space is to reach. The schedule depends on the same things, plus any permit the city wants before we start. Your own figure comes from the estimate, where I write down what I found and what I'd do, in the order I'd do it. In the older houses, that list often starts with a cleanout or a repair, not new insulation.
I look at every job myself
I come out and look at your house before anything gets quoted. Then our crew does the work, with me or a lead installer on site.
Fix what's underneath first
If I find a roof leak, wet framing or bad wiring under the insulation, I'll tell you it has to be fixed first, even if that means we don't insulate yet.
Eave vents stay open
We keep new insulation back from the vents at the edge of the roof, because a buried vent stops the attic from breathing and moisture ends up in the framing.
Insulation work we do in Little Rock
Attic insulation
We measure how many inches are already up there and seal the gaps. Then we build the layer back up evenly, so the edges end up as deep as the middle.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in, loose fill blown through a hose, tops up an older attic without tearing anything out. We keep it even across the floor and clear of the eave vents.
Home insulation
When the whole house feels drafty or it's hot upstairs, I look at the attic, walls and crawl space together. Then I tell you which one to fix first.
Insulation removal
We vacuum old insulation through a hose into bags and haul it away, so it doesn't get dragged through your house. Then we clean up and seal before anything new goes in.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors usually trace back to a crawl space where the insulation is sagging or missing under the floor. We put it back tight against the subfloor so it stays up.
Wall insulation
Walls in older houses are often empty or half full. We can fill them through small holes from outside or inside, then patch, without opening the whole wall.
Air sealing services
Air sealing means closing gaps before insulating, and it covers the whole house, from outlets and baseboards to holes where pipes run through floors. Sometimes it fixes a drafty room on its own.
Basement insulation
Where a house has a basement, we insulate the walls and the rim joist, the framing on top of the foundation. That way the floor above warms up.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam, a dense foam that blocks moisture, suits damp crawl spaces and rim joists. It costs more than loose fill, so we use it where dampness is the problem.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is softer and lighter. It suits the underside of the roof when your ductwork lives in the attic and needs a milder space to run through.
Commercial insulation
Building owners call us about offices, shops and rentals too. I walk the space first, and we plan the work around the hours the building is in use.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A heavy plastic sheet laid over the dirt keeps ground moisture from rising into the crawl space and the floor above. We overlap the seams and run it up the walls.
Vapor barrier installation
Outside the crawl space, a vapor barrier goes where damp would soak the insulation, like a basement wall. I'll tell you when a wall needs one and when it shouldn't have one.
Attic air sealing
Before anything new goes up top, we seal around can lights, plumbing vents, wire holes and the hatch. That keeps the air you pay to cool downstairs.
Retrofit insulation
Adding insulation to a finished house means working through the attic, the crawl space or small holes in the walls. You keep your drywall and paint.

Questions about insulation work in Little Rock
These are the questions Little Rock homeowners usually ask us first about permits, time in the attic and which insulation to choose.
Do I need a permit for insulation work in Little Rock?
The city's Building Codes Division issues construction permits in Little Rock, so that office decides whether your insulation job needs one. It also handles plan review and inspections. Permit rules differ from city to city, so I check with that office about your job before we start. If the work needs a permit, we take care of it.
How long will the insulation crew be in my attic?
I'll give you the timing after I've been up in your attic. It depends on the attic's size, how easy it is to reach and whether old insulation has to come out first. A top-up of blown-in over a dry, clean layer usually goes faster than a cleanout followed by sealing and new insulation.
Do we have to leave the house during spray foam insulation?
Yes. With spray foam, you'll be out of the house while we spray and until the re-entry time, which is when it's okay to come back in. Before we start, we'll give you that time for the product we're using, so you can plan for the kids and pets. Blown-in and air sealing jobs usually don't need you to leave.
Is spray foam or blown-in insulation better for an attic in Little Rock?
For most attics, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in is the better buy. Foam costs more, and it seals air while it insulates. That earns the price when your ductwork lives up in the attic. I'll tell you which way I'd go once I've seen your attic, and why.
Can you put new insulation over the old insulation in my attic?
Often, yes, if the old layer is dry and clean, because there's no reason to pay to tear out insulation that's still doing its job. If it's been soaked or it's full of droppings, it comes out first, since fresh insulation over it keeps the problem in your attic. I'll show you what I find before we decide.
