Del Rio Insulation brings wall insulation, spray foam, and attic insulation directly to Comstock homes and ranch properties - so you do not have to wait on a contractor who has never been this far out on Highway 90.
Most homes along the Comstock stretch of Highway 90 were built in the 1960s and 1970s with little original wall insulation, leaving their walls nearly empty against summer heat that regularly tops 100 degrees. Our wall insulation service fills those cavities with blown-in or spray foam material without tearing out your drywall.
Open desert terrain around Comstock means wind-driven heat and occasional hard freezes both take a toll on homes and outbuildings. Spray foam seals air gaps and insulates at the same time, making it a strong fit for ranch structures and manufactured homes that have irregular framing or exposed floor cavities.
Attics in Comstock homes can reach extreme temperatures on summer afternoons, and most older houses in the area never had enough attic insulation to keep up with that kind of heat. Upgrading attic insulation is usually the fastest way to bring your cooling bills down in Val Verde County.
Blown-in insulation works well in the older, narrow wall cavities common in Comstock-area homes because it fills every corner without requiring demolition. It is also one of the most cost-effective ways to upgrade a home that was built with minimal insulation in an era when energy costs were far lower.
Manufactured homes and older pier-and-beam houses in the Comstock area often have uninsulated floor cavities that let heat in from below during summer and cold air in during the occasional hard freeze. Insulating the crawl space addresses both problems and helps floors feel more comfortable year-round.
Rocky caliche soil and shifting ground around Comstock can open gaps at the base of walls and around foundation penetrations over time. Air sealing closes those entry points before insulation is added, making the whole job more effective and preventing dust and insects from finding their way inside.
Comstock sits in the Chihuahuan Desert along the Highway 90 corridor in Val Verde County, where summer heat regularly exceeds 100 degrees and the sun beats down on homes for more than 220 days a year. That kind of climate punishes under-insulated homes hard. Most of the housing stock in and around Comstock was built between the 1950s and the 1980s - before modern energy codes set meaningful requirements for insulation - which means a large share of these homes are working against their owners every summer. Walls and attics that were marginal in 1970 are genuinely inadequate today.
The soil around Comstock is a mix of caliche, limestone, and thin desert topsoil that shifts with temperature and the occasional hard rain. That movement can open small gaps at the base of walls, around utility penetrations, and along rooflines over time - gaps that let outside air in year-round. Manufactured homes, which are common on rural lots and ranch properties throughout Val Verde County, face their own challenges: floor cavities that lose insulation effectiveness, skirting that lets cold air under the home during freezes, and rooflines that can be difficult to seal without the right equipment. A contractor who has worked throughout this part of far west Texas knows what to expect before they pull up the driveway.
Our crew works throughout Comstock regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect insulation work here. We make the drive out on Highway 90 prepared to handle the job in one visit, because we know getting a second trip scheduled is harder when you are 40 miles from Del Rio.
Comstock is a small community near the confluence of the Pecos River and the Rio Grande, just a few miles from Seminole Canyon State Park. Most properties here are on large lots or ranch acreage rather than small suburban parcels, and ranching is the primary land use throughout the surrounding countryside. We regularly work on ranch homes, outbuildings, and manufactured homes in this part of Val Verde County - not just standard stick-built houses in subdivisions.
We also serve Langtry, TX and the surrounding area along the Rio Grande corridor. If you are out on a ranch between Comstock and Langtry, we cover that stretch too. Neighbors in Del Rio are also part of our regular service area, which means our crew already knows Highway 90 from end to end.
Call us or fill out the contact form and we will follow up within one business day. We do not charge for estimates, and we can often answer basic questions about scope and cost during that first conversation.
We drive out to your Comstock property, assess your current insulation, identify gaps, and give you a written estimate before any work begins. No obligation - you decide whether to move forward once you know exactly what the job involves and what it will cost.
Most Comstock jobs are completed in one visit. We come prepared with the materials and equipment needed so we are not making multiple trips, and we keep the work area clean throughout the job.
Before we leave, we walk you through what was done and answer any questions. If anything needs a follow-up after the job, we come back - being local to this part of Texas means you are not waiting on a crew based in San Antonio or Austin.
We serve the Comstock area and make the drive on Highway 90. Call or submit a request and we will follow up within one business day.
(830) 507-8640Comstock is a small unincorporated community in Val Verde County, located in far west Texas near the point where the Pecos River meets the Rio Grande. The area is remote by most measures - fewer than 400 people live in the immediate community, and the nearest city with full services is Del Rio, about 40 miles to the east on US Highway 90. The landscape is classic Chihuahuan Desert: dry, rocky, and wide open, with caliche and limestone close to the surface. Seminole Canyon State Park, home to some of the oldest Native American rock art in North America, sits just a few miles from town and is a daily landmark for anyone who travels Highway 90.
The housing stock in and around Comstock is a mix of modest older single-family homes, manufactured homes on large rural lots, and ranch properties with multiple structures. Many homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s and have not had major updates since. Ranching - goats, sheep, and cattle - remains the backbone of the local economy, and properties tend to be large. For homeowners here, finding a contractor willing to make the drive is often the hardest part. Our team also serves Carta Valley, TX and the surrounding ranch country - so if you are farther out, we likely cover your area too.
