Spray Foam Insulation in Charleston, NY

Spray foam insulation in Charleston covers some of the island's most varied houses. Wikipedia describes Charleston as one of the most remote and sparsely populated areas of New York City, once known as Kreischerville after the Kreischer Brick Manufactory, which operated from 1854 until 1927. A 2002 estimate quoted on the page put the area at about one third residential, one third commercial and industrial, and one third parkland.

Early 1900s houses

Wikipedia notes that a significant number of Charleston's houses date from the early 1900s, with styles including ranches, Victorians, detached colonials and French mansard houses. Older houses usually need walls filled, attics sealed and rim joists foamed. Mansard roofs have steep, short attic spaces that are hard to insulate with loose fill, so closed-cell foam often works better there.

Newer enclaves and custom homes

Newer homes tend to be semi-detached houses grouped in enclaves or large custom detached houses. Semi-detached homes share attic and wall connections where air can travel, and large custom homes often have vaulted ceilings and complex roofs. We tailor the plan to each type.

Open land and damp ground

Charleston holds the Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve and parts of Sandy Ground. Lots near ponds and wetlands can have high ground moisture, so we check basements and crawl spaces before insulating them.

Owners and renters

Wikipedia's census summary for the Tottenville-Charleston tabulation area shows 29.4% of occupied units are rented.
