Residential Spray Foam in Gwinnett County

What to know in Gwinnett County

Three generations of homes

Southwest Gwinnett skews to late-1980s homes, the I-85 corridor to the mid-1990s and the north and east of the county to the 2000s and 2010s. Older homes need air sealing most; newer ones need their attic ducts brought inside.

Additions and remodels

Remodels open walls and ceilings, the best moment to spray foam. For new homes and additions in unincorporated Gwinnett, the county requires an energy code affidavit listing insulation R-values, and we give your builder the product data.

Lake Lanier side

Homes near Lake Lanier in Buford and Sugar Hill deal with summer humidity. Sealing the roof deck and rim joists keeps damp air away from ducts and living space.
