L&T French Valley Spray Foam Insulation insulates attics, walls and crawl spaces in Nuevo, CA. We seal the gaps first, then add spray foam or blown-in so hot rooms and drafty floors settle down.
Nuevo is a rural community east of Lake Perris and Perris, and it feels different from the tracts closer to French Valley. Lots are bigger, the roads are quieter, and a lot of houses have open ground on every side, so wind, sun and dust reach them from all directions. The San Jacinto River, usually dry, runs along the north side of the area. On breezy days, dust from open dirt ends up in attics, on top of the insulation and in every gap it can find.
The houses range from older ranch homes to newer builds, and many have a garage, a shop or a room added over the years. That mix is why I look before I quote, because an addition often has its own attic with less in it than the main house, and older attics here usually need sealing and cleanup before anything new goes in.
We spray foam on the underside of the roof deck when ductwork runs through a hot attic, so the ducts sit inside a sealed, cooler space.
Explore serviceIf upstairs stays hot into the night, we check how many inches are up there, seal the gaps and bring the coverage up evenly, edges included.
Explore serviceBlown-in is loose fill blown through a hose, and it's usually the simplest way to top up an attic once the hatch, pipes and lights are sealed.
Explore serviceWhen the whole house feels uneven, I walk the attic, walls and crawl space and tell you which one is costing you the most.
Explore serviceWhen old insulation is matted, smells or is full of droppings, we vacuum it out and bag it so the attic starts clean before anything new goes in.
Explore serviceCold floors usually trace back to fallen or missing batts in the crawl space, so we check the moisture down there before choosing what goes between the joists.
Explore serviceFor finished walls with little inside, we fill the cavities through small holes that we patch, and open framing gets insulated before the drywall goes up.
Explore serviceAir sealing is closing gaps before insulating. Around the house, that means outlets on outside walls, plumbing holes under sinks and gaps where the garage meets the house.
Explore serviceBasements are less common out here. Where there is one, we insulate the walls so the space holds an even temperature through the year.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam is dense foam that blocks moisture, so we use it where dampness is the worry or where a shallow cavity needs the most insulation per inch.
Explore serviceOpen-cell foam is softer and lighter, so it costs less than closed-cell and quiets noise well, which makes it a good fit under a roof deck.
Explore serviceFor shops, offices and rental buildings, we plan around your hours and your tenants and work out access with property managers so the job fits around the business.
Explore serviceWe lay a heavy plastic sheet over the crawl space dirt and lap and tape the seams, so ground moisture stays out of the floor framing.
Explore serviceA vapor barrier only helps on the right side of the insulation, so we check where the moisture comes from before one goes into a wall.
Explore serviceIf dust and hot air come down from the attic, we seal the hatch and the holes cut for wiring, pipes and lights before any insulation goes down.
Explore serviceWe bring older houses up to today's coverage without gutting finished rooms, working from the attic, the crawl space and small holes in the walls.
Explore serviceNuevo has no city hall because it's an unincorporated community, so building permits here come from the County of Riverside's Building and Safety office. I check what the county wants for your job before we set a start date. When a permit is part of the work, we handle it with the county, and that can add some time before we begin. The county doesn't issue business licenses. Instead, anyone doing business in its unincorporated areas, including a contractor licensed by the state, has to hold the county's Business (Stormwater) Registration certificate, so that's the paper to ask any contractor about here. We're fully licensed and insured. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
We're based in French Valley and do the same work in Nuevo that we do in Moreno Valley and Homeland. The price moves with the size of the attic or crawl space, how hard it is to get into, how much is already up there, whether any of it has to come out, and whether we're topping up loose fill or spraying foam. The schedule mostly turns on the permit question and on removal, since spoiled material comes out before anything new goes in. When I come out, I look the space over, explain what I found and put what I'd do in writing, so you get your own figure instead of a guess.
Send the form or call (951) 417-1035, and we'll get back to you within one business day to set a time. I come out myself, look over the attic or crawl space, explain what I found and put what I'd do in writing. The estimate is free, and there's no pressure to book.
(951) 417-1035The county's permit list doesn't settle it for insulation on its own, so I ask before work starts instead of guessing. Riverside County requires a permit before a building is altered or repaired, and its examples include attic finishing. The permit counter at 955-1800 answers questions during regular business hours, and when a permit is part of the job, we take care of it.
You, someone acting for you, or the licensed contractor you hire can apply, either in person or online through PLUS Online, and the county explains the steps on its how to apply page. Fees are due within 72 hours of the invoice or the permit is voided, and you'd have to reapply when you're ready to pay. When we handle the permit, we keep track of that so the job doesn't stall.
Yes. For spray foam, you, the kids and the pets stay out while we spray and until the re-entry time, which is when the foam maker says it's safe to come back. I give you that time before we start so you can plan the day, and blown-in work in the attic usually doesn't send anyone out of the house.
Usually it can, as long as the old material is dry and clean. If it was soaked by a roof leak or holds droppings, it comes out first, and if the roof is still leaking, I'll tell you to fix that before you spend anything on insulation.
We're based in French Valley and work across the cities around it in southwest Riverside County. These cities have their own pages. If yours isn't listed, call and ask.
We answer the phone until 11 PM every day, so you can call (951) 417-1035 after work or send the form when the house finally cools down.
If a room in your Nuevo house never feels right, tell us about it and I'll come take a look.
