Spray Foam Insulation in McGregor, FL

The tidal Caloosahatchee borders it to the northwest and Whiskey Creek to the east.

Older attics

Homes from the 1970s and 1980s started with thin attic insulation and have lost more since. Sealing the ceiling, sealing the ducts and blowing in fiberglass to R-38 or R-49 is usually the first step.

Flooding

At sea level beside a tidal river, flooding is a real risk. Homes that took water in recent storms may have lower walls opened. Closed-cell foam in those walls resists future water better than batts. Lee County requires permits for repairs in its Special Flood Hazard Area.

Waterfront humidity

Riverfront air is humid nearly all year. Air sealing the ceiling keeps that humidity out of the house and helps the AC dry the indoor air.

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 nationally. The written estimate is the price.

Larger older homes

Some of McGregor's riverfront homes are larger, custom-built houses from the 1970s and 1980s with complex rooflines, vaulted ceilings and several attic sections. Those homes often have spots that can only be reached by foaming the roof deck, plus open attic floors that are cheaper to blow in. We map out each section and quote it separately.
