New-Construction Insulation in Bellvue & Larimer County, CO
Whole-home insulation and air-barrier packages for builders, ranch homes, ADUs, and barn conversions — engineered to pass Larimer County's energy code and perform for decades.
A whole-home system, not just one product
The best-performing new homes don't rely on a single insulation type — they use the right product in each location. We commonly specify closed-cell spray foam at rim joists and problem areas for its air seal and moisture control, blown-in or batts in the walls, and a deep blown-in blanket in the attic, all tied together with a continuous air barrier. Designing the system as a whole is how you hit aggressive energy targets efficiently rather than overspending on foam everywhere.

- Whole-home system: foam, blown-in, and batt where each fits

- One accountable insulation partner for the whole project
Building or remodeling in Larimer County means building to a demanding energy code — and the insulation and air-barrier system is at the heart of meeting it. We partner with builders, general contractors, and homeowners on new-construction and major-remodel projects across Fort Collins, Bellvue, LaPorte, Wellington, and rural Rist Canyon acreage to design and install a complete insulation package that passes inspection, hits performance targets, and delivers the comfort a new build should have.
Ranch homes, ADUs, and barn conversions are common projects out here, and each has its own quirks. Insulating during construction, while the framing is open, is the ideal time to get everything right: the best materials in the right places, a continuous air barrier, and the details that are impossible to fix later. We bring the products, the crews, and the code knowledge to make that happen on schedule.
Meeting Larimer County's energy code
Larimer County and its municipalities enforce energy codes with requirements for insulation levels, air-tightness (verified by blower-door testing), and sometimes whole-home energy performance. We build to those requirements and coordinate the blower-door and inspection steps so your project passes the first time. Knowing the code — and how inspectors verify it locally — keeps your build on schedule and avoids costly rework, whether it's a new Fort Collins subdivision home or a Bellvue ADU permit.
On schedule, coordinated with your trades
On a job site, insulation timing matters. We coordinate closely with framing, electrical, plumbing, and drywall so we're in and out at the right moment, the air barrier is detailed before it's covered, and inspections line up. Builders work with us because we show up when scheduled, install to spec, and keep the project moving. For homeowners running their own build — a rural ADU, a barn conversion, a ranch-home addition — we bring that same reliability and translate the code requirements into a system that simply performs.
Ideal for
- Custom and spec home builders across Larimer County
- ADU and barn/outbuilding conversion projects on rural acreage
- Major remodels and additions with open framing
- Homeowners building an energy-efficient custom home
- Builders needing a reliable, code-savvy insulation subcontractor

New-Construction Insulation questions, answered
Yes — builders and general contractors are a core part of our work across Larimer County. We act as a reliable, code-savvy insulation subcontractor: designing the whole-home system, installing to spec on schedule, and coordinating blower-door testing and inspections so the project passes the first time.
Absolutely — these are common projects on Bellvue, LaPorte, and Rist Canyon acreage. Whether it's a new ADU, a barn being converted into living or shop space, or a ranch-home addition, we design and install the right insulation system for the building and its use.
Larimer County and its municipalities enforce energy codes with specific insulation R-values, air-tightness requirements verified by blower-door testing, and sometimes whole-home performance targets. The exact requirements depend on the project and jurisdiction. We build to the applicable code and handle the verification steps so your build passes.
Because open framing is the only time you can get every detail right — the best product in each location and a truly continuous air barrier, including spots that are impossible to reach once drywall is up. Insulating during construction produces a higher-performing, more comfortable home than any retrofit can.
