A Newer City With an Old Core

Spray Foam Insulation in Fort Myers covers a wide range of buildings for one city. Thomas Edison bought land on the Caloosahatchee in 1885 and finished his winter home, Seminole Lodge, in 1886; Henry Ford bought the house next door in 1916. After the first bridge over the river, neighborhoods like Dean Park, Edison Park and Seminole Park grew around downtown, and Edison Park still holds some of the city's most stately homes. Most of today's housing is much newer: Point2Homes' census summary gives a median build year of 2001, with about 49% of homes built from 2000 to 2019.

Condos and shared buildings

About 52% of Fort Myers housing units are in buildings with two or more units, and about 36% are detached single-family homes. In condos and townhomes, attics and roofs are often shared or managed by an association, so the work we can do depends on the building. In single-family homes, the attic and its ductwork are the main target.

Rain, thunder and humidity

Fort Myers averages just over 57 inches of rain a year, with about two-thirds falling June through September, and logs about 89 thunder days a year, the most in the nation according to Wikipedia. That long, wet, hot season is when attics leak the most heat and humidity into houses.

Seasonal vacancy

The 2020 census counted 45,595 housing units in Fort Myers, 20.9% of them vacant on census day, many of them winter homes. Owners who are away for summer benefit from a sealed attic and good humidity control.

Costs

HomeGuide's national figures put a typical attic insulation job at $1,000 to $2,700 and roof deck foam at $1,500 to $9,000. Our written estimate after the visit is the price.

What a visit looks like

We start in the attic: measure the depth, check the condition of what is there, and look at the air handler platform, the return and the duct joints. Then we look at any room you say runs hot, and at walls that were opened after storms. You get a written quote with each area on its own line, so you can do the attic now and leave a garage or lanai for later if you like.

Fort Myers Questions

Can you insulate a condo?

Within your unit, often yes. Shared attics and roofs need association approval first.

Do historic Edison Park homes need special care?

Older homes need attention to wiring and moisture before insulation goes in. Attic sealing and loose fill are usually the first steps.

What R-value should a Fort Myers attic have?

Florida's 2023 code summary lists R-38 for ceilings in Zone 2; ENERGY STAR suggests R-49 for an uninsulated attic.

Do you work in older downtown neighborhoods?

Yes. Older homes near downtown need attention to wiring and moisture before insulation goes in, and we check both on the visit.
