Serving West Memphis, AR and surrounding areas. (870) 551-9184
Total West Memphis Insulation serves Collierville homeowners with retrofit insulation, attic upgrades, crawl space sealing, and spray foam. We have worked on large brick homes throughout Shelby County since 2020 and understand the specific insulation challenges these properties face.
Most Collierville homes were built in the 1990s and 2000s, and the insulation installed then was built to older code standards that look thin by today's standards. Retrofitting means upgrading what is already there - adding coverage where it is lacking and sealing air leaks that have opened up over the years. Learn more about retrofit insulation.
Collierville summers push attic temperatures well above 130 degrees Fahrenheit, and a home with thin or settled attic insulation lets that heat press down into living spaces all day long. Upgrading attic insulation is the highest-impact improvement most Collierville homeowners can make for summer comfort and lower cooling bills.
Collierville's large homes have a lot of surface area and a lot of places where the building envelope can develop gaps - around recessed lights, through framing penetrations, and along the tops of interior walls. Spray foam fills those irregular spaces completely and creates an air barrier that batts and blown-in material alone cannot match.
Shelby County's clay-heavy soil holds moisture year-round, and homes with crawl space foundations in Collierville are constantly managing ground moisture rising up from below. Insulating and sealing the crawl space protects the floor structure and prevents the musty air that can work its way into living areas.
As Collierville homes age past 25 years, small gaps open up at every penetration in the building envelope - around recessed lighting, plumbing chases, HVAC ducts, and attic hatches. Sealing these pathways is often what makes the difference between a home that is merely insulated and one that is actually comfortable all year round.
Many Collierville attics already have some batt insulation from the original build, but it has often settled or compressed over 20-plus years. Blown-in insulation can be added on top of existing material to bring the depth up to current recommendations without removing what is already there.
Collierville sits on the same expansive clay soil that runs through most of Shelby County, and that soil shifts with every wet-dry cycle the seasons bring. Wet winters cause it to swell; dry summers cause it to pull back. Over 25 or 30 years, that movement stresses foundations, opens gaps at sill plates and band joists, and works insulation loose from the places it was originally installed. The homes here are large - many in the 2,500 to 4,000 square foot range - which means the total surface area where air and heat can move in or out is proportionally larger too.
The climate in this part of Tennessee adds another layer of demand. Summers are long and hot, with July averages around 92 degrees and humidity that makes every degree of heat gain feel worse. Winter freeze-thaw cycles are mild compared to the Midwest, but they still chip away at caulk joints, mortar, and any air seal that was not done with durable materials. Homes in established Collierville subdivisions are now old enough that the original insulation is due for a real evaluation - not just a top-off, but a proper inspection that accounts for everything that has changed since the house was built.
Our crew works throughout Collierville regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect insulation work here. The homes in this market are larger than average, which means jobs in Collierville tend to involve more square footage - more attic floor to cover, longer crawl spaces to seal, and more air leak locations to track down and close. We plan estimates accordingly rather than giving a quick number that does not account for the actual size of the job.
Collierville's Historic Town Square is the community's anchor, and the town's identity as a distinct place - separate from Memphis proper - is something we recognize in the homeowners we talk to here. Whether the home is one of the brick-front two-stories near Schilling Farms, a larger estate home in the older subdivisions closer to Shelby Drive, or a newer build in one of the communities developed since 2010, the insulation challenges follow the same general pattern. You can verify current contractor licensing requirements through the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors.
We also cover the areas just south of Collierville across the state line. Homeowners in Olive Branch, MS - Collierville's nearest neighbor to the south - and those in Germantown, TN just to the northwest can reach us the same way.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and describe the problem you are dealing with. We reply within one business day and schedule your free on-site assessment at a time that works for you.
We inspect the attic, crawl space, and any problem areas you have identified. The estimate we give you is written, covers the full scope of the work, and includes no surprise charges - so you can make an informed decision before anything is agreed to.
On the agreed day, our crew arrives on time and works through the project in the order that minimizes disruption to your household. For most Collierville homes, you do not need to vacate the property unless spray foam is being applied in occupied areas.
When the work is done, we walk through the completed areas with you, answer any questions, and leave the site clean. If anything comes up afterward, you can call us directly and we will address it promptly.

(870) 551-9184Collierville is a fast-growing town in the southeastern corner of Shelby County, about 25 miles from downtown Memphis along Poplar Avenue. The population has grown from around 31,000 in 2000 to over 55,000 today, driven largely by families who value the town's independent school district and the distinct character of its Historic Town Square - a walkable square with a gazebo, shops, and restaurants that dates back to the 1800s and remains the center of community life. Median home values in Collierville are among the highest in the Memphis metro, and most properties are owner-occupied single-family homes. You can learn more about the town at the Town of Collierville official website.
The housing stock is dominated by large brick-exterior homes built between 1990 and 2010, many in the 2,500 to 4,000 square foot range on half-acre to one-acre lots. Neighborhoods like Schilling Farms, Shelby Farms Estates, and Wynfield Farms represent the typical Collierville subdivision - two-story homes, mature trees, and concrete driveways that have been through 25 or more winters. These homes have a lot of value, and their owners expect contractors to treat them that way. Nearby communities we also serve include Olive Branch, MS to the south and Germantown, TN to the northwest.
