Grapevine: Historic and New
Spray Foam Insulation in Grapevine has to account for history. Grapevine adopted a historic preservation ordinance in 1991 and has the Historic Township District, five local historic districts and individual landmarks. Exterior changes in those areas need a Certificate of Appropriateness, and properties in the Historic Grapevine Township or landmark properties need a documented pre-construction meeting before a building permit is issued.
Older homes
Insulation work happens inside, in attics and walls, so it rarely changes how a historic house looks. Dense-pack in closed walls and a sealed attic preserve the exterior while improving comfort. Where a job touches the exterior, such as vents or roof work, we plan for the city's review.
Newer homes
Grapevine grew from 7,049 residents in 1970 to 29,202 in 1990 after DFW Airport opened. Homes from that period and later often have ducts in hot attics and bonus rooms over garages.
Climate
Grapevine's record high is 115F and its record low is -12F, with about 39 inches of precipitation a year. Insulation works in both directions.
Pre-construction meetings
For properties in the Historic Grapevine Township and landmark properties, the city requires a documented pre-construction meeting with the owner, contractor, historic preservation officer and a building inspector before a building permit is issued. If your project needs a permit, we schedule around that.
High values, high expectations
The median owner-occupied value in Grapevine is $493,100. Owners often want roof deck foam to bring the attic inside, especially in larger homes with several HVAC zones.
Older wall cavities
In older homes the walls may have no insulation. Dense-pack cellulose fills them through small holes from inside, leaving the historic exterior untouched.

Grapevine Questions
Can you insulate a house in a Grapevine historic district?
Yes. Interior insulation usually does not change the exterior. If the job adds vents or touches the roof, we plan for the city's review first.
Is dense-pack safe for old walls?
Generally yes, if the walls are dry and the exterior sheds water well. We check for moisture first.
Do you work around the historic district rules?
Yes. We keep exterior changes to a minimum and coordinate with the city when a permit is needed.
