Spray Foam Insulation in New Springville, NY

Spray foam insulation in New Springville goes into houses built during the island's biggest growth spurt. Wikipedia notes the neighborhood stayed largely rural until 1964, the year the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge opened, and changed completely after the Staten Island Mall opened in 1973 on the grounds of a little-used airport. It also experienced massive residential growth in the last third of the 20th century, with thousands of single-family homes built along with apartment and condominium complexes near the mall.

What 1970s and 1980s houses need

Houses from those decades usually have some insulation everywhere but not much anywhere. Attics often hold old batts well short of today's R-49 ceiling target in the 2025 NYC Energy Conservation Code. Rim joists are often bare. Rooms over attached garages run cold in winter and hot in summer. Walls usually have thin batts that cannot be upgraded without opening them, so we focus first on the attic, rim joist and garage ceiling, which give the most comfort for the cost.

Condos and townhouses

In attached homes, much of the work is in the attic and the unit's own lower level, and some changes may need association approval. We can work with you on what the association allows. Air sealing the top-floor ceiling and the rim joist usually stays inside your unit.

Old creek and springs

New Springville was founded in 1680 and later named for its freshwater springs and a dock on Richmond Creek. Some lots near the creek and lower ground can be damp. Before insulating a basement or crawl space, we check for moisture and choose closed-cell foam where damp is a concern.

Renters and owners

Wikipedia's census summary for the New Springville-Willowbrook-Bulls Head-Travis tabulation area shows 33.4% of occupied units are rented. Most of our New Springville work is for owner-occupants.
