L&T French Valley Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor working in Hemet, CA. We insulate attics, walls and crawl spaces and close up drafts for homes with hot upstairs rooms, cold floors or a power bill that keeps climbing.
Hemet is mostly houses, a lot of them single-story, spread across neighborhoods built over many decades, with mobile home communities and newer tracts mixed in and shops along the main roads. Plenty of the homeowners who call us have lived in the same house a long time and have noticed the back bedroom running hot or the power bill creeping up. Past the city line, East Hemet and Homeland have more room between houses, and we work there the same way.
In the older homes here, we usually find insulation that has settled thin over the years, low attics where the roof meets the walls, and ductwork running overhead. That shapes the job, because it decides how much has to come out, how far into the edges we can reach and whether foam is worth it.
Spray foam insulation seals and insulates in one pass, and it earns its higher cost when your ducts run through the attic.
Explore serviceIn a single-story house, nearly every room sits under the attic, so attic insulation is usually the first fix we look at when rooms run hot.
Explore serviceBlown-in insulation is loose fill blown through a hose, so it works into corners and around framing in older attics where batts leave gaps.
Explore serviceFor a whole house that feels even, home insulation means we look at the attic, walls and floors together and do them in the right order.
Explore serviceWhen old insulation is wet, moldy or full of rodent droppings, insulation removal comes first, because new material laid over it keeps the problem in your attic.
Explore serviceCold floors usually trace back to the space under the house. Crawl space insulation fits between the floor joists, and we check for moisture down there first.
Explore serviceOlder walls are often empty. For wall insulation in a finished house, we fill the cavities through small holes and patch them, so your drywall stays.
Explore serviceAir sealing services close the gaps where air leaks through, around outlets, plumbing and wires, so the insulation you already have can do its job.
Explore serviceFew homes around here have basements, but when yours does, basement insulation covers the walls with a plan for moisture coming through from the soil.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam insulation is dense foam that blocks moisture, so we reach for it where damp is a problem, such as crawl space walls.
Explore serviceSofter and lighter than closed-cell, open-cell foam insulation seals air and quiets noise, and it suits the underside of the roof when moisture isn't the worry.
Explore serviceFor shops, offices and rentals, commercial insulation is planned around your hours and tenants, and we look at the roof, walls and ductwork before suggesting foam or batts.
Explore serviceA crawl space vapor barrier is heavy plastic laid over the dirt and run up the walls, so ground moisture stays out of floor framing and insulation.
Explore serviceVapor barrier installation puts a moisture layer on the right side of the insulation in walls, ceilings or floors, since one on the wrong side traps damp.
Explore serviceAttic air sealing closes the openings around can lights, pipes and the hatch before new insulation goes in, so air from the rooms below stops leaking up.
Explore serviceMany older houses got little insulation when they were built, and retrofit insulation adds it from the attic, crawl space and walls without tearing the house open.
Explore serviceInside Hemet city limits, the City's Building & Safety Division issues permits, reviews plans and does the field inspections, so that's where building questions for your address start. Some cities around here are covered by Riverside County instead, so I check which office covers your address before I write anything up. When a permit is part of the job, its review and inspection set part of the schedule, and we handle it with the division, asking them before work starts if anything is unclear. We're fully licensed and insured.
We drive over from French Valley for jobs here, the same as we do for Perris and the other cities around us. What moves the price is what's already in your attic: how many inches are up there, whether old insulation is wet or full of droppings and has to come out first, how much sealing the gaps need, and whether foam or loose fill is the right call. The schedule turns on those same things, plus any permit review and, with spray foam, the time you'll spend out of the house. I come out for the estimate myself, look the space over, explain what I found and put what I'd do in writing, and I'm on site leading our crew when the work gets done.
Tell us about the hot bedroom, the drafty hallway or the attic you aren't sure about, and we'll get back to you within one business day. Then I set a time to come out for a free estimate at your house, and there's no pressure to book.
(951) 417-1035Start with the City's "Do I Need a Permit" handout, since it's the City's own starting point for a homeowner planning work. If it's still unclear for your job, we ask the Building & Safety Division before any work starts.
Beginning August 11, all new permit applications in Hemet go through the City's online Tyler portal, and the City no longer accepts paper plans. Drawings go in as digital files, and for small projects the City will do an over-the-counter plan check, its review of the drawings before a permit is issued.
For spray foam, plan on it, because you, the kids and the pets stay out until the foam maker's re-entry time has passed, which is how long they say to wait before coming back inside. Blown-in insulation and air sealing usually don't send anyone out of the house, and I'll tell you before we book which applies to your job.
We're based in French Valley and work across the cities around it in southwest Riverside County. These are the ones with their own page, and if your city isn't listed, call and ask.
Call (951) 417-1035 or use the form any day until 11 PM, and start with the room that's hardest to keep comfortable, because that's usually where the trouble points.
If you've got a hot room or an attic you're not sure about, send us a note and I'll come take a look.
