Serving Roseburg, OR and surrounding areas. (458) 803-7783
Roseburg Insulation is a locally owned insulation contractor serving Myrtle Point with vapor barrier installation, crawl space insulation, and attic insulation. We serve the Coquille River valley and have been working on older homes in Coos County for years - licensed and insured.
The Coquille River valley has heavy, moisture-retaining soils that stay saturated for much of the wet season. Homes built before 1970 in Myrtle Point frequently have no vapor barrier - or one that has deteriorated beyond usefulness - leaving the floor system directly exposed to ground moisture all winter. Our vapor barrier installation services use heavy-mil material to stop that moisture at the source, before it works its way into your framing and subfloor.
Most Myrtle Point homes were built on crawl space foundations, and many date to the early or mid-1900s when insulation was minimal and vapor control was rarely considered. Cold floors in winter and musty smells year-round are the usual signs. Closed-cell spray foam on the crawl space walls and rim joists is the most durable fix - it seals and insulates in one application, without absorbing the moisture that eventually destroys fiberglass batts in this climate.
Older homes in Myrtle Point typically have attics with a few inches of compressed original insulation - or none at all in homes from the 1920s and 1930s. When the attic is under-insulated, your heating system runs longer every day from November through March just to keep the living space livable. Upgrading to current R-value standards is the most direct way to cut those heating bills.
Wood-frame homes in Myrtle Point have accumulated gaps at rim joists, pipe penetrations, and framing joints over decades of settlement. Spray foam expands to fill those gaps and hardens, providing both insulation and air sealing in one pass. For homes that have never been sealed properly, a spray foam treatment at the rim joists alone can produce a noticeable improvement in how tight the house feels in winter.
Blown-in insulation is well suited for Myrtle Point attics where the existing framing layout makes batt installation difficult or incomplete. The loose-fill material flows into corners, around obstructions, and into irregular spaces that rigid batts leave bare. It is also one of the most practical options when adding insulation on top of existing material that is still in acceptable condition.
Myrtle Point has 60 or more inches of rain per year, and homes here deal with damp, heavy air moving through every gap in the building envelope. Air sealing closes those pathways before new insulation goes in, making every dollar you spend on insulation work harder. It also improves indoor comfort during summer heat events, when a tight home stays cooler without air conditioning for longer.
Myrtle Point sits in the upper Coquille River valley in Coos County, and its climate is defined by rain. The area receives roughly 60 to 70 inches annually, most of it falling in a long, steady stretch from October through April. The Coquille River valley has naturally heavy soils that hold water and drain slowly - which means the ground under homes in this area stays wet for months at a time. For homes built before 1970, which covers a large share of Myrtle Point's housing stock, this sustained moisture exposure has been working against the original construction materials for decades. Original vapor barriers, if they were installed at all, have often deteriorated. Fiberglass batts in crawl spaces have absorbed moisture, compressed, and in many cases are doing more harm than good by trapping dampness against the wood framing. This is the baseline condition we encounter on most jobs here.
The town also sits in mixed timber and agricultural country, with some properties extending onto rural parcels with outbuildings and detached structures that present the same insulation and moisture challenges as the main house. Summers shift the challenge - July and August bring noticeably drier, warmer weather, and homes without central air conditioning feel the heat in uninsulated attics quickly. The swing from a long, saturated winter to a hot, dry summer is hard on exterior paint, wood trim, and roofing as well. A contractor who works in this valley regularly understands how both seasons affect the work - and someone without that local experience may overlook the details that matter most here.
Our crew works throughout Myrtle Point regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect insulation work here. The homes in this area are predominantly older single-family wood-frame houses, many of them built in the early and mid-1900s, and we know what the Coquille River valley climate does to original construction materials over that length of time. Myrtle Point is a town where most residents own their homes and plan to stay - they want the job done right, not done fast - and we approach every job with that expectation in mind. For permit questions, the relevant authority for Myrtle Point is Coos County; see the Coos County government website for building and permit information.
Myrtle Point is a small city named for the Oregon myrtle tree that grows throughout this part of southwestern Oregon - a detail almost every long-time resident knows. The Coquille River runs through and near town, and homes close to the river on lower ground deal with more drainage pressure than those on higher streets. Myrtle Point High School - home to the Hardwood Loggers, a name that reflects the town's timber roots - is a daily landmark for most residents, and the community has a tight-knit, working-class character that shapes how people approach home maintenance decisions.
We serve Myrtle Point alongside the broader Coos County and Douglas County area. If you are looking for an insulation contractor in Coquille down the valley, or in Riddle to the north, we cover those communities too.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form on this site. We respond within 1 business day and will schedule a visit that fits your calendar. There is no commitment to this step.
We visit your Myrtle Point property, inspect the crawl space, attic, and other areas of concern, and measure what is actually there. You get a written estimate before any work begins - if the crawl space has moisture damage, we explain it plainly and tell you what the fix involves.
Most vapor barrier and crawl space insulation jobs in Myrtle Point are completed in one to two days. Attic work is usually finished in a single day. You can stay home during most projects, and our crew cleans up the access area when they leave.
When the job is finished, we walk you through the completed work so you can see what was done. If questions come up after we leave, you can reach us directly - not an answering service or a call center.

(458) 803-7783Myrtle Point is a small city of roughly 2,400 people in Coos County, sitting in the upper Coquille River valley in southwestern Oregon. The town gets its name from the Oregon myrtle tree, which grows abundantly in this corner of the state and has long been a local symbol - myrtlewood products are something nearly every long-time resident has in their home. The community has a strong timber heritage, reflected in the name of the local high school team, the Hardwood Loggers, and in the surrounding landscape of forests and rural properties. The Coquille River runs through and near town, giving residents a familiar natural landmark and contributing to the valley's characteristic moisture. Most of the housing is single-family homes on modest in-town lots, with a mix of rural properties on the edge of town that include detached garages, barns, and shop buildings.
The housing stock in Myrtle Point is older than in many Oregon cities. A large share of homes date to the early and mid-1900s, with wood-frame construction, original crawl space foundations, and the kind of deferred maintenance that accumulates on any property over 60 or 80 years. Median home values here run well below the Oregon state average, and the community has a practical, cost-conscious approach to home ownership - people want fair prices and work that lasts. We serve Myrtle Point alongside nearby communities including Coquille and Canyonville, which share the same older building stock and wet-season challenges.
