Durango sits at the foot of the San Juans. Your insulation should be built for that.
Durango sits at 6,512 feet in the Animas River valley in IECC Climate Zone 5B — a genuine four-season Rocky Mountain climate, not a mild front-range winter. La Plata County's own adopted building code reflects that reality with a minimum of R-49 in attics and R-20 in walls.
Spray foam insulation is built for exactly this kind of climate. It insulates and air-seals in a single application, stopping the cold-air infiltration that drives up heating bills — and stopping the attic heat loss that causes snow to melt and refreeze into ice dams at your eaves. Traditional insulation alone can't do either of those things.
We're a dedicated spray foam insulation specialist for Durango and the surrounding La Plata County high country, including the log and timber-frame cabins that are common in this market.

Comfort and savings, built for the high country.
Ice dam prevention
Sealing the attic under the roof deck stops the heat-loss-to-snowmelt-to-refreeze cycle that causes ice dams — a fix at the source, not a band-aid.
Code-grounded R-values
We build to La Plata County's own adopted code — attic R-49, walls R-20, crawl space R-30+ — not a generic statewide guess.
Local, honest advice
We recommend open-cell, closed-cell, or a mix based on your home's actual needs — never a one-size-fits-all pitch.

Durango spray foam insulation FAQs
Durango sits at 6,512 feet in IECC Climate Zone 5B, and La Plata County's own adopted building code sets a minimum of R-49 in attics and R-20 in walls. For homeowners who want to go beyond the code minimum, R-49 to R-60 is a reasonable upgrade range for attics. We size the assembly to your specific home during a free on-site assessment rather than guessing.
Yes — this is one of the biggest reasons Durango-area homeowners call us. Ice dams form when attic heat loss melts snow on the roof, which then refreezes at the colder eave. A properly air-sealed, high-R-value attic (roof-deck or attic-floor application) stops that heat loss at the source, which is far more effective than reactive fixes like heat cables.
Installed spray foam typically runs in a $0.75-$4.50 per square foot range industry-wide, with closed-cell landing toward the higher end due to density and R-value. A whole-home job commonly falls in the $4,700-$11,250 range depending on size and scope — a free on-site assessment gets you a firm number for your specific home.
Open-cell is lighter and less expensive, a strong fit for interior walls and conditioned attic applications. Closed-cell is denser, delivers a higher R-value per inch (roughly R-6-7), adds structural rigidity, and resists moisture — making it the right call for rim joists, crawl spaces, and roof decks exposed to snowmelt.
For homes with under-insulated attics or leaky building envelopes, often meaningfully — spray foam air-seals and insulates in one step, which stops the cold-air infiltration that drives up heating costs through a Durango winter. Exact savings vary by home, so we walk through realistic expectations during your free assessment rather than quoting a number up front.
Yes. We serve Durango and the surrounding La Plata County high country — Bayfield, Vallecito Lake, Hermosa, Mancos, Hesperus, and Ignacio — including the cabins and second homes that make up a large share of this market.
