Burke homes - many of them older wood-frame houses on pier-and-beam foundations - lose a significant amount of conditioned air through under-insulated floors, walls, and attics. Our home insulation service addresses the whole house, not just one area, so you get even comfort in every room without running your AC nonstop through East Texas summers.
Pier-and-beam homes throughout Houston County have open crawl spaces that let cold air, humidity, and pests move freely under the floors. Insulating the crawl space eliminates the drafts that make floors uncomfortable in winter and keeps the floor structure dry year-round in Burke's wet climate.
With 45 to 50 inches of rain per year, bare soil in a Burke crawl space releases moisture into floor joists and sub-floors continuously. A properly installed vapor barrier cuts off that moisture path before it leads to wood rot, mold, and insulation failure in your home's structure.
Burke attics absorb intense summer heat, and when the attic insulation is old or thin, that heat radiates into the living space and forces the AC to work overtime. Upgrading attic insulation is one of the fastest ways to reduce energy costs for homes in this part of Houston County.
Spray foam is well suited to the gaps and irregular framing found in older Burke homes, where batts or blown-in material can shift and leave cold spots over time. It creates a sealed barrier that handles both heat and moisture, which is important for homes in the heavily wooded, high-humidity Piney Woods environment.
Homes in the Burke area that were built decades ago often have original insulation that has been damaged by moisture, compressed by settling, or contaminated by pests. Removing the old material and starting fresh is often the most effective approach before installing new insulation in attics or crawl spaces.
Burke sits in Houston County in the heart of the East Texas Piney Woods, one of the rainiest parts of the state. The area receives around 45 to 50 inches of rain per year, and the combination of heavy rainfall, clay-heavy soil, and year-round humidity creates moisture conditions that are unlike what you find in drier parts of Texas. For homes on pier-and-beam foundations - which are common throughout this part of Houston County - that moisture travels up from the soil into the floor structure unless something stops it. A contractor who has not worked in this environment will not know where to look or what materials hold up over time here.
The housing stock in Burke also skews older. Many homes were built before 1980, and some date back to the 1950s and 1960s, often on large wooded lots with mature pine trees close to the house. These properties deal with a steady stream of debris on roofs, shade that keeps siding and attics damp, and original insulation that has long since passed its useful life. Mobile and manufactured homes are also common in this part of Houston County, and they have different insulation needs than site-built houses. Knowing which material works for which home type is part of what we bring to every job in this area.
Our crew works throughout the Burke area regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect insulation work here. Pier-and-beam homes with open crawl spaces are among the most common jobs we handle in this part of Houston County, and we know what to look for - wood rot near piers, insulation that has fallen from the joists, and vapor barriers that have been torn or were never installed in the first place. We also work on manufactured homes throughout the area, which require different materials and methods than standard stick-built construction.
Burke is a rural community southeast of Lufkin along US-59, and much of the surrounding land is part of the Davy Crockett National Forest. Many properties here sit on large wooded lots with long gravel driveways, and the nearest building authority is Houston County in Crockett, about 10 to 15 miles to the south. We are familiar with that territory and make the drive without hesitation. Homeowners in this area should not have to wait weeks for a contractor who is willing to come out to them.
We also serve homeowners in Zavalla, TX and neighboring Diboll, both of which share the same Piney Woods climate and older housing challenges that Burke homeowners deal with every day.
Reach us by phone or through the online form and we will respond within one business day. No deposit is needed to schedule a free estimate - we just need your address and a general description of what you are noticing.
We come to your Burke property, inspect the attic, crawl space, walls, and any other areas of concern, and give you a written estimate before we leave. There is no cost for the assessment and no pressure to commit on the spot.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work at a time that suits you. Most jobs in the Burke area are completed in a single day, though larger projects or jobs that include insulation removal may take two days.
When the work is done, we walk you through what was installed and where, answer questions, and leave the work area clean. If anything concerns you after we leave, call us and we will make it right.

(936) 955-1207Burke is a small, unincorporated community in Houston County in Deep East Texas, sitting in the Piney Woods region surrounded by tall pines and hardwoods. The nearest town of any size is Crockett, the Houston County seat, located roughly 10 to 15 miles to the south along US-59. Most Burke-area homes are single-family houses on large rural lots - often an acre or more - with mature trees close to the structure, long gravel driveways, and outbuildings like sheds or carports. The area is sparsely populated and strongly owner-occupied, with a housing stock that reflects decades of careful stewardship by families who have lived in the same home for years. You can learn more about the broader Houston County area through the Houston County Wikipedia article.
The landscape around Burke is defined by the Davy Crockett National Forest, which covers a large stretch of Houston County and is known for hiking, fishing, and camping in the East Texas Piney Woods. Homeowners in this area deal with the practical realities of wooded rural living: pine needle buildup on roofs, shade that holds moisture on siding and in attics, red clay soil that drains slowly after heavy rains, and occasional hard freezes that arrive without much warning. Many of the homes here were built before 1980 and have original insulation that is well past its useful life. Nearby communities we also serve include Diboll, TX and Angelina, TX.
