Spray Foam Insulation in Bonita Springs, FL

Spray Foam Insulation in Bonita Springs covers a mixed housing stock. Point2Homes' census summary gives a median build year of 1998, with about half of housing built from 1990 to 2009. About 45% of units are detached single-family houses and about 12% are mobile or manufactured homes. The Imperial River, called Surveyor's Creek until about 1912, runs through downtown and empties into Estero Bay.

Floods and storms

In September 2017 the eye of Hurricane Irma passed over Bonita Springs, damaging many structures and causing significant flooding, and the river area has flooded again since. Homes that took water may have had lower walls opened. Closed-cell foam in those walls resists future water better than batts.

Attics

In site-built homes from the 1990s and 2000s, the attic is usually the best place to start: seal the ceiling and ducts and bring insulation to R-38 or R-49. A sealed attic with roof deck foam is worth pricing where the roof is newer.

Manufactured homes

With about 12% of units being manufactured homes, we often get asked about them. Options depend on access to the roof cavity and underbelly; we look and tell you what is practical.

Costs

HomeGuide lists a typical attic job at $1,000 to $2,700 and Fixr lists foam in existing walls at $3.15 to $7.50 per square foot. The written estimate after our visit is the price.

Seasonal homes

Bonita Springs has many winter residents. A house closed up from May to November still bakes under the roof and can turn musty if humidity is not managed. A sealed ceiling and ducts help the AC hold humidity down with less runtime. If you will be away, tell us when someone can let us in, and we can do the work while the house is empty.
