Spray Foam Insulation in Ingleside, GA

Spray foam insulation in Ingleside usually means upgrading mid-century homes. The Ingleside Historic District was added to the National Register on May 10, 2016. It covers about 549 acres with 641 contributing and 115 non-contributing buildings, with listed buildings ranging from a 1932 school to homes from the 1940s, 1950s and mid-1960s.

Homes of that era

Houses from the 1940s through the 1960s often have a few inches of settled attic insulation, little in the walls and vented crawl spaces. Sealing the attic floor and adding depth is usually first. Many also have ductwork in the attic, which makes roofline foam worth pricing.

Where it is

The district is roughly bounded by Vineville Avenue, Candler Drive, Bonita Place, High Point Road and Forest Hill Road. Its streets are lined with mature trees, which helps with summer shade but means roof leaks from storm damage are worth checking before any attic work.

Crawl spaces

Older crawl spaces here often have batts that have fallen. We remove them, check moisture and termite access, and recommend floor insulation or encapsulation.

Bonus rooms in converted attics

Some homes here have had attics finished into bedrooms or offices over the years. Those rooms often have kneewalls with thin batts and sloped ceilings with little insulation. Foam in the slopes and kneewalls usually makes them usable in July.

Duct leaks

Many mid-century homes had central air added later, with ducts run through the attic. Those ducts often leak at joints and boots. Sealing the ceiling and the duct boots where they meet the drywall, then adding depth, cuts a lot of the summer heat that reaches the rooms below.

Code targets

Georgia's code lists R-38 ceilings for new construction, and the Department of Energy suggests R-19 for floors, useful benchmarks for upgrades. Get a free estimate
