Older Tulsa homes often have inadequate or deteriorated insulation that can't keep up with Oklahoma's extreme weather. Retrofit insulation allows you to upgrade your home's thermal performance without tearing down walls or major construction.
Using specialized injection foam and spray foam techniques, we can insulate enclosed wall cavities, add to existing attic insulation, and seal air leaks throughout your home—often in just one or two days.
Signs Your Home Needs Retrofit Insulation
High Energy Bills
If heating and cooling costs keep rising despite efficient HVAC equipment, poor insulation is likely the culprit.
Uneven Temperatures
Rooms that are too hot in summer or too cold in winter indicate insulation gaps or thermal bridging.
Drafts and Cold Spots
Feeling drafts near walls, windows, or electrical outlets means air is leaking through the building envelope.
Ice Dams or Moisture Issues
Ice dams on roofs and condensation on windows suggest inadequate attic insulation and air sealing.
Retrofit Techniques We Use
Injection Foam for Enclosed Walls
For walls that already have drywall, we drill small holes and inject slow-rise foam that expands to fill the entire cavity. The holes are then patched, leaving minimal evidence of the work.
Hole Size

Fill Rate

Spray Foam for Open Cavities
In areas where walls are open (during renovation or in unfinished spaces), we apply closed-cell or open-cell spray foam directly to the cavity for maximum performance.
Common Retrofit Applications
Benefits of Retrofit Insulation
- Lower energy bills—typically 20-40% savings on heating and cooling
- Improved comfort with consistent temperatures throughout your home
- Reduced noise from outside traffic and neighbors
- Better indoor air quality by sealing out dust and allergens
