Residential Spray Foam in Bryan County
Coastal air carries moisture into vented attics around Richmond Hill. Sealing the roof deck keeps that air away from ducts and ceilings.
Even in zone 2, Georgia's amendments require R-13 walls and R-38 ceilings, or R-20 of spray foam at the roof deck on the trade-off path.
The county median build year is 2005, with fast growth around Richmond Hill and older homes around Pembroke. Newer homes need attic upgrades; older ones need air sealing first.
Open-cell and closed-cell spray foam for new and existing homes, applied to roof decks, exterior walls, rim joists and floors so the house is insulated and air-sealed in one step.
Insulation in new homes and additions is inspected under Georgia's state energy code by the city or Bryan County, depending on the address. We confirm the office before quoting.
