Houses in town

The 1950s through 1970s houses here are typical mid-century Michigan homes: modest attics with old insulation, bare rim joists and thin wall batts. The attic and rim are the first priorities.

Farms and outbuildings

Around town, farmhouses, pole barns and shops are common. Closed-cell foam on steel panels stops condensation; on old farmhouse rim joists and fieldstone foundations it seals the many gaps where cold air gets in.

Heating with propane or wood

Many rural homes around Montrose heat with propane or wood. Air sealing and insulation cut how much fuel a house needs, which matters more where fuel is delivered.

A typical Montrose visit

In town, we check the attic depth, the hatch, gaps around the chimney and plumbing vent, and the rim joist in the basement. Out on the farms, we measure barns and shops, look at the steel and framing and ask how you plan to heat the building. You get a written quote that lists each building and area on its own line with thickness or depth and price, so you can decide what to do first. Many owners start with the house and add the barn the following year.
