A Sawmill Town Turned County Seat
Spray Foam Insulation in Standish covers older homes in the Arenac County seat and the farms around it. John D. Standish platted the town in 1871, and his sawmill was its first business; the Jackson and Lansing Railroad arrived the same year. Standish became a village in 1893 and a city in 1903, and it lies about 5 miles from Saginaw Bay.
Housing
The city had 1,458 residents at the 2020 census, and 682 housing units in 2010. Many homes are older frame houses from the town's early decades, with shallow attics, empty walls and old foundations.
Early electricity
Standish had commercial electric lighting by 1912 and 24-hour electricity by 1926. Older homes may still have early wiring, which we look for before filling walls.
What we usually do
Attic sealing and depth, rim and sill foam, and dense-pack walls where wiring allows. Farms around Standish have pole barns that benefit from closed-cell foam.
Planning
We price each area separately so you can do the most important work first.
Pole barns and dairy country
Farms around Standish have steel pole barns, machine sheds and shops that drip in cold weather. Closed-cell foam on the steel keeps damp air off the cold metal, and a thicker layer lets an owner heat a shop through the winter. We ask how the building is used before we size the foam.
Rentals
For rental houses in town, we schedule foam between tenants.
