Moore's post-tornado rebuilding created one of the largest new construction markets in the OKC metro. Bo's Insulation delivers high-performance insulation that pairs with safe rooms and modern building standards to protect Moore families.
Moore, Oklahoma occupies a unique position in the OKC metro's construction landscape. The devastating tornadoes of 1999, 2003, and 2013 destroyed thousands of homes across the city, creating an extraordinary rebuilding effort that continues to this day. Entire neighborhoods were rebuilt from scratch, and the homes that replaced them are stronger, more energy-efficient, and better insulated than what stood before. Today, Moore continues to see new construction — not just rebuilds on tornado-impacted lots, but entirely new subdivisions along the city's expanding edges.
Bo's Insulation has been part of Moore's rebuilding story for over eight years. We have insulated hundreds of new homes throughout the city, working alongside builders who understand that Moore homeowners demand more from their homes than most. They want safe rooms, fortified construction, and insulation that performs — both as an energy-saver and as a contributor to the structural integrity of their home's envelope. That is exactly what we deliver.
Moore builders face a market shaped by severe weather awareness. Homebuyers in Moore ask about safe rooms, wind ratings, and building envelope performance before they ask about countertops. Builders who deliver homes with high-performance insulation — particularly spray foam — gain a genuine competitive advantage because they can speak to both energy efficiency and structural resilience.
Bo's Insulation works with Moore builders on both new subdivisions and individual lot rebuilds. For subdivision builders running multiple homes simultaneously, we coordinate rolling insulation schedules that keep your pipeline on track. For builders working on individual tornado-rebuild lots, we adapt to your specific timeline and can often schedule within a few days of your framing completion.
We are thoroughly familiar with Moore's building inspection requirements and ensure every home passes insulation inspection on the first attempt. Our installations comply with current energy code standards for Climate Zone 3, with correct R-values in attics, walls, and floors. We also understand the specific requirements that apply when insulating around FEMA-rated safe rooms, which are now standard in most Moore new construction.
Moore's new construction market presents unique opportunities to install insulation that goes beyond basic thermal performance. Here are the options we install in Moore's new homes:
Closed-cell spray foam is the premium choice for Moore new construction, and for good reason. At approximately R-6.5 per inch, it delivers the highest R-value of any common insulation material. But in Moore, the real advantage is structural. Closed-cell foam's rigid, dense composition adds measurable strength to walls and roof assemblies. It also serves as a complete air barrier and vapor retarder, preventing moisture infiltration after storms. For Moore homeowners who have lived through tornadoes and rebuilds, the additional structural benefit of closed-cell foam provides genuine peace of mind.
Open-cell spray foam applied to the underside of the roof deck creates a conditioned attic space that keeps Moore homes dramatically more comfortable. By sealing the attic within the thermal envelope, open-cell foam eliminates the extreme temperature differentials that force HVAC systems to overwork during Oklahoma's six-month summer. Open-cell foam also provides excellent sound dampening, reducing outside noise from traffic, storms, and neighbors. It costs between $1.50 and $2.50 per square foot installed.
For Moore builders focused on delivering value-conscious new homes, blown-in fiberglass and fiberglass batts provide solid thermal performance at lower price points. Dense-pack blown-in fiberglass fills wall cavities more completely than batts, while batts remain the most economical option when installed to Grade I standards. Bo's Insulation ensures precise installation regardless of material, with no gaps, voids, or compression that would compromise performance.
Moore's building codes now require safe rooms or storm shelters in new residential construction. Bo's Insulation has extensive experience insulating around these structures. We insulate the walls and ceiling adjacent to safe rooms without compromising their structural integrity, and we seal the transitions between the safe room and surrounding framing to prevent air leakage. The result is a home where the safe room protects your family and the insulation protects your comfort and energy bills.
Insulation costs for new construction in Moore typically range from $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot:
Many Moore homeowners opt for a hybrid approach — closed-cell spray foam in the walls for structural benefit combined with open-cell foam in the attic for comfort and efficiency. This provides the best of both worlds at a moderate price point. Call (405) 437-0146 for a free estimate on your Moore new construction project.
