Our Services

Three core insulation solutions for Sturgis homes and buildings.

Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam creates an airtight seal in attics, basements, and crawl spaces. It's ideal for older Sturgis properties where traditional insulation leaves gaps. The foam expands to fill crevices in homes with irregular framing from the early 1900s.

• Seals air leaks around pipes and electrical penetrations
• Adds structural support to attics and walls
• Reduces heating and cooling costs significantly

Cellulose Insulation

Blown cellulose is made from recycled paper and fits snugly in cavities. Perfect for mid-century ranch homes and properties in residential neighborhoods like those near Klinger Lake. It settles evenly and provides excellent coverage.

• Eco-friendly recycled material
• Fills cavities without gaps or cold spots
• Absorbs sound and adds thermal mass

• Safe removal of degraded materials
• Thorough cleanup and decontamination
• Prepares spaces for new insulation installation

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for insulation work in Sturgis?

Building permits are required for most insulation projects in Sturgis. Contact the Community Development Department at City Hall to confirm requirements for your property before work begins.

What's the difference between spray foam and cellulose?

Spray foam creates an airtight seal and adds structural strength; cellulose is blown into cavities for even coverage and is eco-friendly. Spray foam is better for gaps and air leaks; cellulose suits standard wall and attic cavities. We recommend the right option for your home's construction type.

Will new insulation help reduce my heating bill?

Yes. Better insulation reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Most homes see noticeable savings within the first heating or cooling season, especially older Sturgis homes with poor original insulation.

Can you work on Victorian or historic homes?

Yes. We have experience with Victorian, Craftsman, and early-20th-century homes. We work to preserve character while improving energy performance and meeting current building standards.

What if my attic or basement has moisture problems?

Moisture issues must be addressed before insulation. We'll assess the problem, discuss solutions (ventilation, sealing, dehumidification), and ensure your space is dry before insulating.
