Fergus Falls has a lot of homes that are 50 to 100 years old. Many still have whatever insulation went in decades ago, plus air leaks around chimneys, plumbing stacks and old attic hatches. Those houses can be made a lot more comfortable without tearing them apart.
Outside town, we insulate lake homes on the lakes around Fergus, along with the shops, pole barns and garages that come with country living.
Every job starts with someone actually walking the house, the attic or the shop. We tell you what we found, what we’d fix first and why. If something doesn’t need to be done, we’ll say so.
In older homes, attic problems stack up. There isn’t much insulation, it’s been disturbed by electrical work over the years, and the soffits may have been closed off when the house was re-sided. Warm air leaks up, melts snow on the roof, and you end up with ice dams and water stains.
Our free attic inspection looks at insulation, air sealing and ventilation together. From there we can remove old or damaged insulation, seal the ceiling, open up the vents with baffles and blow in new insulation.
Spray Foam Solutions
Closed-cell spray foam is our go-to for basements and crawlspaces in older Fergus Falls homes, where stone or block foundations let in cold air and moisture. It’s also what we use on metal shops and pole barns, because it bonds right to the steel.
Spray foam needs temperatures of 30°F or higher to go on and cure. We schedule around the weather and can often heat a garage or shop to make it work.
Building in Fergus Falls or out on the lake? We help plan the insulation before the walls close up, including rim joists, walls, attic and air sealing. We install spray foam, fiberglass batts and blown-in fiberglass, and we can coordinate directly with your builder.
We cover Fergus Falls and the towns and lakes within about a half hour of it. Further north toward Pelican Rapids or Ottertail? Our Ottertail area page covers those towns.
