    Company Description

    Founded in 1982 in San Antonio, Texas, Alpha Insulation and Waterproofing has over 36 years of experience in commercial insulation, waterproofing, fireproofing, and firestopping. With a strong dedication and commitment to the people that form the very fabric of our company, Alpha has since expanded — we now have offices in Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Nashville, Orlando, Raleigh/Durham, Tulsa, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and San Antonio. There's a reason why we've sustained such a high level of excellence, quality, and exemplary service for a quarter-century. In fact, there are three reasons: Our Greatest Asset — Our People From the very beginning, we set stringent measures for recruiting and cultivating new talent to ensure our clients only deal with the highest quality and most qualified professionals throughout their experience working with Alpha. We also invest a vast amount of resources in training our people to become more knowledgeable about their respective field(s), which ultimately, leads to superior service, efficient finances, and timely delivery. We're Versatile — We Can Do More For You Another key factor that helps differentiate Alpha from our competitors is the varying scopes of work that we can perform; in fact, we can perform all of the scopes of work in Division 7 with the exception of roofing. Because there are fewer people and processes involved, our customers will benefit from a seamless experience that spans many scopes of work without having to leave Alpha. Efficient Project Supervision — Ensuring Quality and Timeliness At Alpha, we believe that jobsite supervision is fundamental to having a financially successful project. That's why we have non-working superintendents who manage field personnel at each of our offices to ensure quality installation. We strive to have one non-working superintendent for every 10-15 field employees. Our commitment to quality, efficiency, and timeliness has played a vital role in our growth over the last 36 years.
