We're EnergyFit Visalia Insulation Solutions, and we insulate attics, walls and crawl spaces in Farmersville homes and small commercial buildings, from sealing drafty gaps and topping up thin attics to pulling out old, dirty insulation.
Farmersville is a small city a short drive from where we're based in Visalia, and most of our calls there come from single-family homes, with some rentals and a few shops and offices mixed in. The houses run from older single-story places near the center to newer homes toward the edges, and the calls usually come down to the same few things: a hot back bedroom, a drafty room over the garage, cold floors or a power bill that won't come down.
In the older houses we usually find a few settled inches over open gaps around can lights, pipes and the hatch, and sometimes old material that got wet or dirty and has to come out first. Newer homes tend to have more up there but the same open gaps, much like what we see in Exeter, so on most Farmersville jobs the sealing and the order of the work matter more than the depth.
Spray foam insulation along the roofline when your ductwork runs through the attic, so the ducts end up inside the sealed part of the house instead of out in the heat.
Explore serviceAttic insulation for the hot upstairs room or the one over the garage, starting with how many inches are already up there and what shape they're in.
Explore serviceBlown-in insulation, loose fill blown through a hose, to bring a thin, settled Farmersville attic up to an even depth all the way out to the edges.
Explore serviceHome insulation planned room by room when the whole house runs drafty and you can't tell where the power bill is going.
Explore serviceInsulation removal for old attic material soaked by a roof leak or full of droppings, because new insulation laid over it just keeps the problem in place.
Explore serviceCrawl space insulation under raised floors, for the cold floors that come with older houses built up off the ground.
Explore serviceWall insulation added through small openings in finished walls, for older Farmersville houses where the walls were left empty when they were built.
Explore serviceAir sealing services, closing the gaps around pipes, wires and fixtures before any insulation goes in, so the new material isn't fighting a draft.
Explore serviceBasement insulation for a basement or below-grade room, where we check that the walls stay dry before anything covers them.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam insulation, dense foam that blocks moisture, for rim joists, crawl space walls and other spots where damp and air both get in.
Explore serviceOpen-cell foam insulation, a lighter, softer foam, for rooflines and interior walls where you want the air sealed and the noise cut without paying for closed-cell.
Explore serviceCommercial insulation for shops, offices and rental buildings, planned around the other work going on in the building and the people using it.
Explore serviceCrawl space vapor barrier, a heavy sheet laid over the dirt under the house, so ground moisture stays out of the floor framing and the insulation above it.
Explore serviceVapor barrier installation on the side of the wall or ceiling where it belongs, because a barrier on the wrong side traps moisture instead of stopping it.
Explore serviceAttic air sealing around can lights, the attic hatch, plumbing vents and wire holes, done before we add a single inch on top.
Explore serviceRetrofit insulation for lived-in Farmersville houses, working around the wiring, ducts and stored boxes that sit right where the insulation needs to go.
Explore serviceWhen a Farmersville job needs a building permit, the application and a site plan go to the City of Farmersville first, and once the city approves them, the plans move on to Tulare County RMA, the county office that reviews them next. Two reviews in a row take time, so on a permitted job we set the start date around them instead of guessing at one. Before any work starts, we check with the office that covers your address, and when a permit is needed, we apply for it as your licensed contractor and meet the inspector on site. I come out myself to write the estimate, and you get it in writing with photos of what we found, so your own price and schedule are on paper before you decide anything.
A lot of what we do here is in lived-in houses, where boxes, old wiring and ductwork sit right where the insulation needs to go, so we work out the order of the job before the crew climbs up. Property managers and business owners call us too, usually when a rental or a shop needs insulation fit around other work, and it's the same planning we do for buildings in Tulare and the other cities around Visalia.
Describe the rooms that bother you and ask about any permit steps, and we'll reply within one business day. I'll set a time to come out, look at the attic or crawl space myself and give you a free on-site estimate in writing, with photos of what I found. There's no obligation to go ahead.
(559) 409-1169The Tulare County Building Department does plan check and inspection for the City of Farmersville under contract, so on a permitted job a county inspector is the one who comes out. The work is held to the codes and standards the city adopted from the California Building Code. That's one more reason I'd rather plan a permitted job a little ahead than squeeze it in.
A contractor needs a state license whenever the job needs a building permit, uses any other workers, or adds up to $1,000 or more in labor and materials across one or more contracts. The state lets someone skip the license only on a small job where every one of these holds: under $1,000 all in, no permit, no employees and no advertising as a licensed contractor. We're licensed and insured, and you can look up any contractor with the board linked above.
For blown-in loose fill and air sealing, you can usually stay home, because the work happens up in the attic and we close off the hatch area. Spray foam is different, so you, the kids and the pets leave while it goes in, and the re-entry time, when it's safe to come back, comes from the foam maker's instructions. I'll tell you that time before the day so you can plan around it.
We're based in Visalia and work across the cities around it, from Kingsburg and Selma to Hanford, Lemoore and Woodlake. If your city isn't listed here, call and ask.
Call (559) 409-1169 or use the form and tell me which rooms feel worst, because that tells me where to look first when I come out.
If you're not sure your attic needs work yet, send us a note and I'll tell you what I'd look at first.
