Insulation Contractor in Purcell, OK - Sealed Attics and Warmer Floors

It depends on the job, so we check with the city before any work starts. Purcell issues building permits through the Codes Department at City Hall for building, enlarging, altering, moving or placing a building, mobile homes included, and whenever structural changes cost more than $1,000.00. If your job calls for one, we pull it or walk you through getting it, and you can also ask City Hall yourself at 405-527-6561.

Your price comes from what I find in your attic or crawl space, so you get your figure after I've seen it, because two Purcell houses the same size can need very different work. If the job needs a city permit, the city's fee schedule puts remodel permits at $0.11 a square foot with a $30.00 minimum, plus $4.50 in state fees. Those fees are doubled when work starts before the permit is issued, which is one more reason we check first.

It can, because in Purcell's regulatory floodplain, building, adding on or any substantial improvement to a home needs a floodplain development permit, and work of any kind there starts only after that permit is issued. You can look up your property on FEMA's Map Service Center at msc.fema.gov or ask the city's Code Enforcement office, which issues the permit. Tell me what you find when you call, and we'll work out with the city whether your job counts before the crew is scheduled.

Usually it's water from the ground and the yard working its way under the house, and Purcell averages about 41.6 inches of rain a year to keep it coming. Wet insulation under the floor sags, holds the smell and stops doing its job, which is why cold floors and a musty smell tend to show up together. We find where the water's getting in, pull out what's ruined and can lay a ground cover before new insulation goes up.

The crew's time in your house is set mostly by the prep, meaning the removal and sealing, so I'll give you the schedule once I've seen what yours needs. With loose fill you can usually stay home while we work. With spray foam, you, the kids and the pets stay out until the re-entry time passes, the wait before it's safe to come back inside, and I'll tell you that time before we start.

Ask the contractor what licenses they hold and whether they carry insurance, then check with the city's Codes Department about anything that applies to your job. Purcell's code licenses certain occupations, and its fee schedule lists a contractor's license for electrical, plumbing and mechanical contractors at $150.00 new and $75.00 to renew. We're licensed and insured, and I'll answer those questions at the estimate.
