Retrofit Spray Foam in Coweta County
Homes built in the 2000s have had two decades for blown-in insulation to settle and ducts to loosen. A retrofit seals the roof deck and the leaks around chases and top plates.
Older homes around the Newnan courthouse square and downtown Senoia need a careful look. We inspect framing, roof decking and moisture first and recommend foam only where it suits the structure.
Rooms over garages are the most common retrofit request. Foam on the garage ceiling and knee walls stops heat and fumes from reaching the room above.
Spray foam upgrades for homes and buildings that are already finished: we remove what is not working, seal the leaks and add foam where it can be reached without tearing the house apart.
Insulation in new homes and additions is inspected under Georgia's state energy code by the city or by Coweta County, depending on the address. We confirm the office before quoting.
