Village homes
Most houses are established homes on basements. Rim joist foam and attic sealing with added depth are the usual first projects, and they make the biggest difference in winter comfort.
Near the river
Homes close to the Bad River can have damp basements. We check for water entry and use closed-cell foam on rims and walls below grade.
Farm buildings
The area around St. Charles is agricultural, with pole barns and shops. Closed-cell foam turns a cold steel building into a usable winter space and stops condensation.
Ice dams
Older roofs over poorly sealed attics form ice dams after heavy snow. Sealing the attic and keeping vents clear is the fix.
Typical quote
