Spray Foam Insulation in Warren, MI

Spray foam insulation in Warren depends a lot on which side of Stephens Road you live on. Wikipedia notes that much of southeast Warren's housing is bungalows built right after World War II, while north of Stephens many homes were built after 1960 in the brick ranch style. Warren is the largest city in Macomb County, with 139,387 residents and 58,411 housing units at the 2020 census.

Post-war bungalows

Bungalows have a finished or half-finished upstairs under the roof, with kneewalls and short side attics. That is where they lose the most heat. We seal the floor bays behind the kneewalls, insulate the kneewalls and side attic floors or foam the roof line, and seal and blow the small attic at the top.

Brick ranches

Ranch homes have one long attic over the whole house, which is easy to seal and blow to depth. Their rim joists run around a full basement and are usually bare. The brick is veneer over a wood-frame wall in most ranches, and those walls can often be filled from inside.

Code and rebates

Macomb County is in Climate Zone 5A in Michigan's energy code. DTE lists insulation rebates for homes where it is the primary heat provider.

Detached garages and workshops

Many Warren lots have a detached garage, and some owners use it as a shop. If you want to heat it, spray foam on the walls and roof deck makes an uninsulated garage usable in winter. We price that as its own line on the quote.

Basement moisture

Wikipedia notes the Red Run and Bear Creek have been turned into a major storm drain flowing through Warren to the Clinton River. Homes in low spots can see damp basements in heavy rain. We check for moisture before insulating any basement wall.
