Spray Foam Insulation in Tanner, AL

Spray Foam Insulation in Tanner serves a rural community that has rebuilt more than once. Tanner is an unincorporated community in southern Limestone County, nine miles north of Decatur and four miles south of Athens, settled along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in the 1800s. It sits in tornado country: during the 1974 Super Outbreak two F5 tornadoes hit the community within 30 minutes, and on April 27, 2011, a large EF5 tornado struck Tanner and the surrounding area, the deadliest tornado in Alabama history.

Rebuilt houses and newer homes

Those storms mean a lot of the houses in and around Tanner were built or rebuilt in the last few decades. Newer construction usually starts with code-level insulation, but attic ductwork, bonus rooms and garage ceilings are still common trouble spots. Older farmhouses that survived tend to have little insulation and vented crawl spaces.

Shops, barns and metal buildings

Rural lots around Tanner often carry steel shops and barns. Closed-cell foam on steel roofs and walls stops condensation and cuts heat gain, which matters for anyone working in the building or storing equipment there.

Hot, humid summers

Tanner has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. That means the attic and the crawl space are where most comfort problems start, and those are the two spaces we always check.

Storm-ready sealing

After a storm, roofs and siding get replaced and attic insulation is often torn up, soaked or left thin. If your roof was replaced after 2011 or more recently, it is worth checking that the attic insulation was put back to depth and that the soffit vents are clear. HomeGuide lists a typical attic insulation job at about $1,800 on average nationally. Our written estimate is the price for your attic once we have seen it.
