Rural Homes Up the River
Spray Foam Insulation in Alva serves an entirely rural community. The 2020 census classified 100% of Alva residents as rural, and local group Alva, Inc. works for rural preservation. The Caloosahatchee runs through Alva, which sits at about 3 feet of elevation.
A wide range of homes
Point2Homes' census summary shows about 11% of homes were built before 1960 and 19% since 2010, with a median build year of 1988. About 79% of units are detached single-family houses and about 20% are manufactured homes. Old farmhouses, 1980s block homes, newer construction and manufactured homes all need different plans.
Old houses
Homes built before 1960 may have frame walls with little insulation and older wiring. We check wiring before recommending wall insulation, and start with sealing the attic and adding loose fill.
Outbuildings
Rural properties here often have barns and steel buildings. Closed-cell foam on the steel cuts heat and stops condensation.
Costs
HomeGuide lists closed-cell foam at $3.00 to $5.00 per square foot and a blown-in attic at $900 to $3,600 nationally. The written estimate is your price.
Manufactured homes
About one in five Alva homes is a manufactured home. Their shallow roof cavities and underbellies limit what can be added, but sealing obvious air leaks, repairing damaged underbelly material and adding insulation where it can be reached can help. We look at each home and give an honest answer on what is practical before quoting anything.
