Spray Foam Insulation in Black Creek, WI

Spray foam insulation in Black Creek mostly involves older houses and farm buildings. The village covers about one square mile with 545 housing units in 2020. It grew after the Green Bay and Lake Pepin Railroad arrived in 1871, and many homes date from its years as a trade and shipping center.

Older homes

We usually find thin attic insulation, open rims and walls with little in them. Attic sealing and fill, rim joist foam and dense-pack walls make a big difference.

Farms and food plants

Black Creek was once the nation's leader in sauerkraut production, and the land around it is farm country. Shops and machine sheds get closed-cell foam to stop condensation.

Costs

HomeGuide lists attic jobs at $1,000 to $2,700, dense-pack walls at $1.60 to $4.20 per square foot and closed-cell foam at $3.00 to $5.00. Written estimates after a visit.

Planning an older home and a shed together

Many Black Creek properties have an older house and a shop or shed on the same lot. We look at both on one visit. For the house, that means the attic, the rim joist and sill, and the walls, where we check for old wiring before planning any dense-pack. For the shop, we measure the steel or framing and ask whether you heat it. The written estimate lists each area, so you can do the house before winter and the shop later, or the other way around.
