Sherman Insulation serves Ardmore, OK with home and commercial insulation, blown-in attic upgrades, spray foam, and crawl space services. We respond to all inquiries within one business day and provide free on-site estimates with no obligation.
Ardmore has a mix of older downtown commercial buildings and newer industrial facilities, and insulation needs vary widely depending on the building type and use. Our commercial insulation service covers spray foam, batt, and rigid board applications for warehouses, retail spaces, and office buildings throughout Carter County, with estimates that account for thermal performance, code compliance, and operational budgets.
Blown-in insulation is the most practical way to upgrade attic performance in Ardmore's older single-family homes. It lays over existing material without tearout in most cases, fills voids and gaps that batt insulation leaves behind, and brings R-values up to current standards for Oklahoma summers. Most mid-century ranch homes in Ardmore benefit from adding depth to what is already there.
Spray foam seals and insulates in a single pass, making it ideal for crawl space walls, rim joists, and wall cavities in older Ardmore homes that were built before modern air sealing standards. Closed-cell foam provides the highest R-value per inch and also serves as a vapor barrier, which matters in homes dealing with Oklahoma humidity and seasonal soil moisture.
Many homes in Ardmore were built in the 1950s and 1960s with little to no wall insulation, aging attic insulation, and no attention to air sealing. Whole-home insulation upgrades bring these properties up to modern performance standards, reducing energy costs and making rooms more comfortable year-round without major renovation work.
Ardmore's clay soil releases moisture upward during wet seasons, and homes with vented crawl spaces pull that moisture into the floor system where it can damage wood framing and reduce insulation effectiveness. Crawl space insulation paired with a vapor barrier creates a controlled environment that protects the structure and improves comfort in the rooms above.
Older homes in Ardmore were not built with air sealing in mind, and leaks at attic penetrations, sill plates, duct chases, and recessed lighting allow conditioned air to escape and hot attic air to mix with living space air. Sealing those leaks before adding insulation is what makes the difference between an upgrade that tests well and one that actually lowers your energy bills.
Ardmore is the county seat of Carter County and home to roughly 24,000 people. The city sits along Interstate 35, about 100 miles south of Oklahoma City and 100 miles north of Dallas, with a housing stock that reflects decades of stable ownership and aging construction. A large share of Ardmore homes were built before 1980 - many in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s - which means original insulation levels, if they existed at all, fall well below what modern energy codes recommend for Oklahoma summers. These are brick ranch-style homes with low-pitched roofs, concrete slab or pier-and-beam foundations, and attic spaces that were insulated to the minimum standard of the time, if they were insulated at all. The result is homes that work harder than they should to stay cool in the summer and homeowners who pay more for energy than they would if the insulation matched current performance standards.
The local climate and soil conditions make insulation upgrades especially important in Ardmore. Summer temperatures regularly reach 95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and attic temperatures inside poorly insulated homes can exceed 130 degrees, driving up cooling costs and wearing out HVAC systems faster. The heavy clay soil under Ardmore foundations swells when it absorbs moisture during wet seasons and shrinks when it dries out in the heat, creating cracks in driveways, sidewalks, and foundations and opening gaps at sill plates and other penetrations where conditioned air escapes. That seasonal soil movement, combined with older construction standards, means Ardmore homes often have air leakage issues that need to be addressed before adding insulation depth will deliver its full benefit.
Our crew works throughout Ardmore regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect insulation work here. Most of the homes we work on in Ardmore are single-story brick ranch houses built between the 1950s and 1980s - the kind of homes that line the neighborhoods near downtown and along the older residential streets off Washington Street and Main Street. These homes were built before modern insulation standards, and many have original attic insulation that has compressed or degraded over time. The upgrade usually involves air sealing at penetrations first - recessed lights, plumbing stacks, duct chases - and then adding blown-in insulation to bring the R-value up to where it needs to be for Oklahoma summers.
Ardmore is close to Lake Murray State Park, one of Oklahoma's most visited outdoor destinations, and many homeowners in the area own properties on larger lots or near the lake itself. These properties often have different needs than in-town homes - more exposure to wind, larger rooflines, and sometimes outbuildings that also need insulation attention. We also serve Durant, OK to the north, another southern Oklahoma city with a similar mix of older housing stock and newer commercial development.
Call us directly or submit the online estimate form. We respond within one business day and schedule your free on-site assessment at a time that fits your schedule - morning, afternoon, or weekend appointments are all available.
We inspect the attic, crawl space, and any other areas of concern, measure existing insulation depth and condition, and provide a written estimate with exact pricing for the recommended work. You do not have to decide right away - the estimate is yours to review with no pressure to proceed.
Once you approve the scope, our crew handles setup, the work itself, and full cleanup. A typical blown-in attic job on an Ardmore ranch home takes four to eight hours depending on attic access. You do not need to be home during the attic portion once we have access.
After the work is finished, we walk you through what was done, answer any questions you have, and provide documentation for your records. If any warranty applies, we explain the terms clearly so you know what is covered.

(903) 294-5640Ardmore sits in south-central Oklahoma along Interstate 35, roughly halfway between Oklahoma City and Dallas. The city has a population of about 24,000 and serves as the county seat of Carter County. Ardmore's economy has long been tied to the oil and gas industry, and the city's historic downtown square is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Neighborhoods near downtown include homes built in the early 1900s, many of which are Victorian and Craftsman-style houses on tree-lined streets. Farther out from the city center, the housing stock shifts to mid-century ranch homes built in the 1950s through the 1980s, most of which are brick with low-pitched roofs and attached garages.
Lake Murray State Park, one of Oklahoma's largest and most popular state parks, sits just a few miles southeast of Ardmore. Many residents either live near the lake or own property in that area, which adds to the mix of housing types and property maintenance needs throughout Carter County. We also serve nearby communities including Durant, OK and parts of southern Oklahoma along the I-35 corridor.
