We provide independent Reflectix sales and service across Cedar Park, TX, with crews that diagnose and fix reflective insulation failures in the extreme attic heat specific to this market.

We’re not a Reflectix dealer, and we’re not manufacturer-affiliated. What we are is an independent insulation contractor that installs and retrofits Reflectix products daily in Cedar Park attics and crawl spaces. Our Reflectix sales & service depth comes from thousands of hours correcting what the Texas climate does to reflective insulation. If you’re in the Cedar Park service area, you’re getting a crew that knows your specific housing stock: 1990s-2010s two-story builder-grade homes with vented attics that routinely hit 140°F in July.
Why Cedar Park Residents Choose Us for Reflectix Service
Garrett Sloane, our owner, learned the insulation trade through the building construction program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before turning his focus to residential and commercial work across Central Texas. He’s been in Austin and Cedar Park attics for years. He knows what a settle R-30 batt looks like after a decade of Texas thermal cycling, and he knows what a properly installed Reflectix radiant barrier does to a 140°F roof deck.
We stock actual Reflectix material: Double Reflective Insulation, Double Bubble, Radiant Barrier, and Foil Tape. Not substitutes. When we repair a seam or replace a run in a Cedar Park attic, we use genuine Reflectix foil and tape to maintain consistent emissivity and seam integrity. The difference matters when your upstairs bedrooms are running 10-15°F hotter than downstairs every afternoon. Our technicians are background-checked, identity-verified, and you get their name and photo before anyone shows up. We write the price down before work begins. No surprises after the fact.
Common Reflectix Insulation Problems We Solve in Cedar Park
- Foil facing tears along stapled edges. In vented Cedar Park attics that hit 140°F in July, thermal expansion and contraction works staples loose and tears the foil facing. We see this constantly in homes built between 1990 and 2010. The fix is replacing the run, not patching it.
- Bubble-core delamination in crawl space applications. When trapped moisture condenses between foil layers, the bubble core separates and the insulation stops working. This is common in Cedar Park homes where crawl spaces stay humid most of the year. We inspect the full run and replace collapsed sections.
- Reflective surface degradation from dust accumulation. Attic floor installations collect dust, and within 3-5 years the effective R-value drops noticeably. Cedar Park’s dry, dusty summers accelerate this. If the reflective surface is dulled, it stops reflecting.
- Improper overlap at seams. Seams that weren’t overlapped and taped correctly leak radiant heat and create condensation points along the roof deck. We see this in newer Cedar Park homes where the original install was rushed to meet builder timelines.
- Sagging or collapsed bubble core. After years of heat and humidity, the bubble core loses its structure. A crushed run of double bubble does nothing for you. We replace it, and we don’t try to make a bad section work with extra tape.
Reflectix Service in Cedar Park: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what makes Cedar Park different from Austin, Round Rock, or anywhere else down the road. The city’s explosive suburban growth since the 2000s produced thousands of large, builder-grade homes with under-insulated attics and cheap fiberglass batts that settle and degrade quickly in the Texas heat, which is why many homeowners eventually need Cedar Park Attic Insulation upgrades. In Buttercup Creek and Ranch at Brushy Creek specifically, original attic insulation often settles to R-19 or worse within a decade. The result: upstairs rooms that run 10-15°F hotter than downstairs in July. We’ve measured it. A two-story brick or stone veneer home in Cedar Park with a vented attic and shallow roof pitch is the worst case for radiant heat gain. The roof deck bakes, the fiberglass between the joists has flattened out, and the upstairs AC runs nonstop trying to keep up. A Reflectix radiant barrier isn’t a replacement for that settled insulation; it’s the layer that stops the radiant heat before it loads up what insulation remains. Pairing the two is the only way we’ve found to get upstairs rooms within 5°F of downstairs during a July afternoon in Cedar Park.
Reflectix Models & Products We Service in Cedar Park
Our crews work with the full Reflectix line that matters in Cedar Park homes. We install and repair Reflectix Double Reflective Insulation (ST16025), used most often here as a stapled radiant barrier across rafters. We also handle Double Bubble Reflective Insulation (BP48010) for garage ceilings and crawl space walls, Radiant Barrier (RB48125) for attic floor and roof deck applications, and Foil Tape (FT210) for seams. When a section is torn, crushed, or the bubble core has collapsed, we recommend replacing that run rather than attempting a patch that will fail in the first hot summer. We keep common Reflectix stock on our trucks for same-week Cedar Park turnaround on standard retrofits.
Reflectix Service Pricing in Cedar Park
Reflectix service costs in Cedar Park depend on what you’re doing. Radiant barrier installation across rafters in a typical two-story home runs $1.80 to $2.75 per square foot installed. Crawl space double bubble vapor barrier work runs $1.50 to $2.25 per square foot. Seam repair and tape replacement is usually $150 to $400 depending on how much foil facing has torn. The bigger variable is whether we’re also topping up settled insulation, because most Cedar Park homes need both. A free estimate includes the written price for the full scope, with no post-job surprises. Call (325) 246-2929 for an exact quote on your home.

FAQs – Reflectix Insulation in Cedar Park
No. Reflectix radiant barrier reflects radiant heat; it does not replace the conductive resistance of fiberglass, cellulose, or spray foam. In Cedar Park’s hot summers, a radiant barrier reduces the heat load on your insulation, but you still need proper R-value in the attic floor-something Cedar Park Spray Foam Insulation can provide as part of a complete solution. We recommend pairing a Reflectix radiant barrier with a blown-in insulation top-up to R-49. Call (325) 246-2929 and we’ll tell you what your attic actually has right now.
Delamination happens when moisture gets trapped between the foil layers and the bubble core, then the glue fails. Cedar Park’s humid climate keeps crawl spaces damp for long stretches, and a vented crawl space pulls that humid air in. Once the core separates, the insulation loses its structure. The fix is replacement of the affected run, and often better crawl space ventilation to keep it from happening again.
Yes, for what it’s designed to do. Double bubble works as a radiant barrier on garage ceilings to cut radiant heat from a hot roof, but it’s not a substitute for actual insulation in a conditioned space. In Cedar Park garage applications, we install it with a 1-inch air gap, which is what lets it reflect heat properly. Installed tight against the surface, it does almost nothing.
Twenty years is realistic for a properly installed radiant barrier, but dust accumulation on attic floor installations can drop the effective performance within 3-5 years. Attached across rafters with staples and taped seams, it holds up much longer. The failure we see most in Cedar Park attics is foil tearing along stapled edges after years of thermal cycling. That’s a repair, not a full replacement. Call (325) 246-2929 and we’ll tell you whether what you have is worth saving.
Use Reflectix Foil Tape. Generic aluminum tapes use different adhesives that break down faster in a 140°F attic, and the emissivity of the metal surface matters for the seam to reflect heat consistently. We use genuine Reflectix foil and tape on every repair because a seam that fails leaks radiant heat and creates a condensation point. It’s not a place to save four dollars.
