Older and newer houses across Noble
Noble sits right below Norman, and since we're based in Norman, it's one of the closest places we work, along with Purcell a little farther down the road. The houses run from older ones near the middle of the city, many sitting over crawl spaces, to newer ones out on the edges, and a fair number are rentals that landlords call us about.
In the older houses the trouble is usually underneath, a crawl space with insulation sagging or missing and cold floors above it. In the newer ones it's more often the attic, where the ductwork runs through a space that gets hot and the insulation went in thin at the edges. Price and schedule mostly turn on what's already up there and whether anything has to come out before new material goes in, so I look first and write you an estimate with your own figure on it.
Our services in Noble, OK
Plenty of the Noble attics I climb into have a few inches of old loose fill, packed flat and thinnest at the edges, and that's usually why the room over the garage runs hot. We seal the gaps first, then bring the whole attic up to an even depth out to the eaves while keeping the eave vents clear so the attic can still breathe.
When old fill has been soaked by a roof leak or taken over by mice, we start with insulation removal, because new material laid on top just hides the problem. We bag it out and clean the space, and you can see the bare attic before anything new goes in.
Can lights, plumbing pipes and the attic hatch leave holes in the ceiling that let house air leak straight up, and insulation over an open hole works about like a sweater in the wind. Air sealing, closing those gaps before any insulation goes down, is where we start in a Noble attic.
In Noble's older houses, cold floors usually trace back to a crawl space where the insulation has fallen out of the floor or was never there. We go under, see what's damp or hanging, and fix the space before we insulate it so the new material stays where it belongs.
Newer houses around Noble often run their ductwork through the attic, and that's where spray foam earns its higher price, because it seals and insulates in one coat. Where the ducts aren't up there, I'll usually tell you that sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in fill, loose insulation blown through a hose, does the job for less.
Landlords and property managers call us about rental houses in Noble, and the stretch between tenants is the easiest time to insulate. We add to attics, floors and walls in the house as it stands, and I explain what we did in plain words you can pass along to the owner.

What happens when you call us about a house in Noble
Call or send a message
Call (405) 561-8031 or fill out the form and tell us what you've noticed, like a hot bedroom, a cold floor or a power bill that keeps climbing. We get back to you to set a time for me to come out.
I look through it myself
I go up in the attic or under the house, take photos and show you what I find before I suggest any work. Then I write it up with the price, so you know the cost before anything is decided.
We seal, then we insulate
A crew I've trained fixes whatever has to come first, seals the gaps and puts the insulation in evenly. If it's foam, the maker sets the re-entry time, how long before you, the kids and the pets can come back in, and I tell you that before we start.
I check it before we're done
Before we call it finished, I go back through the work and check it against what we agreed on. You can look too, and I'll show you what we did so you understand your house better than when we got there.
Noble insulation questions answered
Do I need a building permit for insulation work in Noble, OK?
The city's permit list doesn't settle that for insulation on its own, so we ask the city before we start. The City of Noble requires permits for new construction, renovations and many other jobs, and its examples name electrical, gas, plumbing and heating and air systems, so a project that also moves wiring or ductwork falls right in that list. We check with the city's Community Development office before work starts, and when a permit is needed we pull it or walk you through getting one.
What building codes does the City of Noble enforce?
Noble enforces the residential and commercial versions of the 2018 International Building Codes on any construction project in the city. Almost every project that goes through a permit gets inspected by the city building inspector, and the number of visits depends on the job, so a small project sees fewer than a new house.
Does my contractor need a state license or registration in Oklahoma?
The state doesn't currently require general contractors to hold a state license, but anyone doing or offering licensed trade work, like electrical, plumbing or mechanical, has to hold that trade's license. Those trades show the firm name and an "OK" license number on both sides of their trucks and on their ads, contracts and bids, which the state Construction Industries Board requires. We're licensed and insured, and if your job also needs an electrician or a heating and air contractor, ask to see that number.
How much does it cost to insulate an attic in Noble?
The cost comes down to what's already in your attic and what has to happen before new insulation goes in, so I don't put a number on it until I've been up there. How many inches you already have, whether old material has to come out, how many gaps need sealing and whether ductwork runs through the attic all move it. Choosing foam over loose fill raises it, and sealing and topping up an attic that's in decent shape keeps it lower.
How do I know if the old insulation in my Noble house needs to come out first?
It needs to come out if it's been soaked, matted down by a leak or filled with droppings, because new insulation over it leaves the problem in place. Water stains on the ceiling, a musty smell at the hatch or signs of mice are the usual hints. I'll take photos up there and show you before we decide anything.
How do I find out if my Noble house is in a flood zone before crawl space work?
Start with the City of Noble, because the flood rules are the city's, and it says Noble has few flood hazard areas, with the significant ones along the Canadian River and Dave Blue Creek plus a few others. New construction in one has to sit above the expected flood height, and older buildings there fall under the same rule when damage tops half their value. If your house is near either one and you're repairing damage, settle that with the city before we insulate, because raising or rebuilding comes first.
