Insulation for the Chama, New Mexico Area
Spray foam, Rockwool, and cellulose for vacation homes, cabins, and shops around Chama. Foam Insulation Specialists serves the Chama area from our shop in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, about 49 miles north on US-84.
Down US-84 from Pagosa Springs
Chama is a little under an hour south of our shop: US-84 past Chromo, across the state line, and down into the Rio Chama valley. It's an easy drive for a walkthrough, and the walkthrough is free here too.
We're a Pagosa Springs company. We serve the Chama area from there, and your job is scheduled and quoted by the same office at 412 Bastille Dr that you call: 970-749-5711, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm Mountain.
High, snowy, and often empty
At about 7,800 feet, Chama sits higher than Pagosa Springs, right below the mountains along the Colorado line, and it gets real winters: deep snow, long stretches below freezing, and cold that settles into the valley at night.
A lot of homes and cabins around Chama belong to people who live somewhere else and come up for summer, hunting season, or a winter weekend. When a house sits empty through January, nobody's there to notice a frozen pipe or an ice dam building at the eaves until it's already a repair.
Working with owners who aren't nearby
Many Chama-area owners live out of town. That works fine. A property manager, a neighbor, or you can meet us on site for the walkthrough, and we go over what we found and the quote by phone. We'll tell you what's worth doing before winter and what can wait.
If the place is a rental, the same work shows up for your guests: warmer floors, fewer drafts, and a house that heats up faster after it's been sitting closed.
What we do on Chama-area homes and cabins
​
Crawlspaces and floors
Closed-cell foam on the stem walls and rim joist and a sealed ground liner keep the plumbing and floors out of the cold. See crawlspace insulation.
Attics under heavy snow
Air sealing first, then a blown-in cellulose top-up or roofline foam, to help stop ice dams. See attic insulation.
Hunting cabins, garages, and shops
Closed-cell spray foam on steel and post-frame buildings to stop condensation. See metal building insulation.
We also install Icynene spray foam in walls and vaulted ceilings, and Rockwool batts for quiet, fire-resistant interior walls. The full list is on our insulation services page.
