Serving Canon City, CO and surrounding areas. (719) 618-9724
Empty wall cavities bleed heat all winter long. We fill them without tearing out your drywall, so your Canon City home stays comfortable through every cold month.
Wall insulation in Canon City slows heat from moving through your exterior walls - most jobs on a typical single-story home are completed in one to two days without removing drywall or siding. The installer drills small access holes, fills each wall cavity with blown-in or injected material, then patches the holes when finished. The result is a home that holds the warmth your furnace creates instead of letting it escape into the cold air outside.
A large share of Canon City homes were built before the 1980s, when wall insulation requirements were minimal or simply did not exist. If your home falls into that category, the wall cavities may be partially filled, settled down to almost nothing, or completely empty. You will feel it on cold mornings as walls that radiate chill, on hot afternoons as rooms that just will not cool down, and every month as a heating bill that climbs and stays high. Pairing wall insulation with air sealing services addresses both the slow heat loss through your walls and the faster loss through gaps - giving you the full benefit of both upgrades.
The good news is that adding insulation to existing walls is far less disruptive than most homeowners expect. You do not need to gut a room or move out. The crew works methodically from outside or inside, fills each cavity, patches the access points, and leaves your home ready to use the same day.
Canon City's heating season runs nearly six months, and a home with under-insulated walls shows up clearly in your utility bills. If your gas or electric costs jump sharply as soon as the weather turns and stay elevated through April, your walls may be letting heat escape faster than your furnace can replace it. This is especially common in homes built before 1980.
Stand close to an exterior wall on a cold morning - not near a window, but on the flat wall surface itself. If it feels noticeably cold to the touch or you feel a chill radiating from it, that is a sign the wall cavity has little or no insulation. In a well-insulated home, interior wall surfaces stay close to room temperature even when it is freezing outside.
Canon City receives intense sun exposure on south- and west-facing walls. If certain rooms feel significantly hotter than the rest of the house during summer afternoons - even with air conditioning running - under-insulated walls on those exposures are a likely cause. Insulation works in both directions, and adding it to sun-exposed walls can make a real difference in summer comfort.
Homes built in Canon City before modern energy codes were adopted were often constructed with little or no wall insulation. If your home is more than 40 years old and you have never had an insulation assessment, there is a good chance your walls are under-performing. A quick assessment can tell you exactly what is there - and what is missing.
We install blown-in and injected wall insulation for existing homes in Canon City and throughout Fremont County. Blown-in material - cellulose or fiberglass - is pumped into wall cavities through small holes drilled from inside or outside. Injected foam expands slightly as it sets, which helps it reach irregular gaps and voids that loose-fill material may miss. Both approaches avoid the major disruption of opening up your walls, and both are well suited to the older construction you find throughout Canon City neighborhoods. We also offer spray foam insulation for situations where a cavity needs both insulation and a sealed air barrier at the same time.
Every wall insulation project starts with an assessment to find out what is currently in your walls and where the gaps are. We use a thermal camera or probe to check before we drill anything, so we are not doing work that has already been done. After installation, we verify the fill with the same tools - so you have confirmation that every cavity was addressed, not just a contractor's assurance. The Department of Energy recommends wall R-values of R-13 to R-21 for Colorado's climate zone - a standard we keep in mind on every job.
Best for existing homes where you want to add insulation without removing drywall or siding.
Best for walls with irregular cavities or gaps where blown-in material may not reach all areas.
Best for homeowners who are not sure what is already in their walls before committing to a full project.
Best for homeowners who want proof that every wall cavity was fully filled before we leave the job site.
Canon City sits at about 5,300 feet in the Arkansas River valley, where temperatures can swing 40 or more degrees in a single day - especially in spring and fall. That thermal stress puts constant pressure on your home's walls. A gap that seems minor on a calm fall afternoon becomes a significant heat loss channel on a January night when the temperature drops well below freezing. Fremont County averages around 5,700 heating degree days per year, meaning your heating system works hard for a long stretch. Under-insulated walls compound that work directly and show up in your bills every month from October through April.
The older neighborhoods near downtown Canon City - Victorian-era and Craftsman bungalows built between the 1880s and 1950s - are the homes that benefit most. Many of them were constructed before wall insulation was standard, and decades of freeze-thaw cycles at elevation have only added to the gaps and settling. Homeowners in Florence and Penrose face the same conditions - similar elevations, similar older housing stock, and the same long heating season that makes wall insulation one of the highest-return upgrades available.
Reach us by phone or through our online form. We respond within 1 business day to schedule your estimate visit. Come prepared with the age of your home and any specific rooms where comfort has been a problem.
We walk through your home, check exterior walls with a probe or thermal camera, and give you a written estimate that covers what we recommend and why. No obligation to proceed after the visit.
The crew drills small access holes in your exterior walls, fills each cavity with insulation material, then patches and finishes the holes so they are ready to paint. The work is not loud - most homeowners stay home comfortably during the project.
We clean up the work area and walk you through what was done - showing you the patched holes and explaining what to expect in terms of comfort. Your home is fully usable as soon as the crew leaves.

(719) 618-9724We live and work here in Fremont County, which means faster scheduling and a crew that knows what Canon City homes look like from the inside. We are not driving in from another city and rushing to the next job.
Every wall insulation job we do is covered by full liability insurance and worker's compensation. We pull any permits required by the City of Canon City or Fremont County before work begins - you will never be left managing that yourself.
A wall insulation job that leaves gaps or voids will not deliver the savings you are paying for. We confirm every wall cavity is fully filled before packing up - using a probe check or thermal imaging so you have proof, not just a receipt.
We do not quote wall insulation over the phone because the price depends on what we actually find in your home. We come out, assess the walls, and give you a written number before any work begins - no surprises when the job is done.
The Insulation Contractors Association of America sets professional standards for the trade, and we stay current with installation best practices that matter in Colorado's climate. When you call us, you get a crew that knows Canon City homes and stands behind the work it does.
Insulation slows heat loss, but air sealing stops drafts at the source. Pairing both gives your Canon City home the best possible return on your investment.
