Spray Foam Insulation in Fenton, MI

Spray Foam Insulation in Fenton covers two very different kinds of houses. Point2Homes' census summary shows 13.7% of Fenton's homes date to 1939 or earlier, while 13.7% were built in the 1990s and 18.4% in the 2000s, the city's biggest decade. The old village core needs one approach; the newer subdivisions another.

Dibbleville to Fenton

Fenton was settled in 1834 as Dibbleville, platted as Fentonville in 1837 and incorporated as a village under the Fenton name in 1863. Several historic buildings remain downtown. Older homes near the center have balloon framing and plaster walls, where dense-pack insulation and sealing the open framing paths at the top and bottom help most.

Newer subdivisions

Homes from the 1990s and 2000s have insulation, but often with gaps: bonus rooms over garages, kneewalls with batts falling out, recessed lights in the top floor ceiling, and rim joists covered only by a batt. Foam on the bonus room floor and kneewalls is one of the most common fixes we quote here.

Lake homes

Fenton sits among a chain of lakes, and lakefront houses face open wind off the water in winter. Walk-out basements facing a lake are common, and they benefit from closed-cell foam on the rim and the exposed walls.

Village and township

The city of Fenton is separate from Fenton Township, and each has its own building office. If your project includes a remodel, we can tell you which office to call.

Finished lower levels

Newer Fenton homes often have finished basements and walk-outs. When the basement is already finished, we usually can still foam the rim joist from above a drop ceiling or through small access cuts. If you are finishing a basement now, closed-cell on the concrete before framing is the best time to get the walls right, and it keeps drywall off cold, damp concrete.
