What we do in Fernwood
Open framing or finished walls changes the plan
Fernwood is an unincorporated community in Benewah County, the same county Empire works out of. For any building here, the first question is how much framing you can still reach. A new shop or pole barn with open walls and roof is the simplest to spray, and it is the moment to plan air sealing and vapor control. A building that is already finished takes more planning around access and what sits in the cavities now. Tell Nick where yours stands and how you use it.
Start with the building you have, then narrow to the area. Here is how each service fits.
Closed-cell spray foam
Empire installs 2-lb closed-cell and HFO closed-cell foam for residential and commercial projects. It is denser than open-cell and can act as a vapor retarder at the product's specified thickness.
Shop and garage insulation
For workshops and garages you heat or cool. Exposed studs and ceiling framing make the work straightforward. Air sealing can be part of the same job.
Pole Barn Insulation
Foam goes between the girts and purlins on walls and roof. Good for barns turned into shops, storage or living space. Tell us how you use the building.
Crawl Space Insulation
Options include crawl-space encapsulation and vapor barriers. Foam does not replace ground-moisture control or drainage, so the plan covers the whole space.
Attic Insulation
Insulating the attic floor and insulating the roof deck create different boundaries. A roof-deck approach needs a ventilation and moisture plan worked out first.
New construction and retrofit
New builds are simplest with open framing. For existing buildings, foam works where you can reach the cavities or surfaces. Empire does not remove old insulation.
Commercial and Metal Buildings
Closed-cell foam on metal panels can help control condensation when it is part of an appropriate assembly. It does not fix roof leaks.

I've utilized many insulation companies over the years and rarely write reviews, but Nick and his guys did an outstanding job and I would HIGHLY recommend them. Their price was excellent, the work was perfect, and they are extremely clean and organized.

- Foam type: 2-lb closed-cell and HFO closed-cell are the options Empire installs. The choice affects material needs and how the assembly is built.
- Installed thickness: Thicker foam means more material and more time. Thickness should come from the selected product's documentation and what the assembly calls for.
- Wall and roof surface area: Walls, rafters and roof decks add up differently than floor area. Estimates should compare the same coverage and thickness.
- Access and framing: Open framing, tall ceilings and stairwells change setup. Scaffolding or ladders add work compared with a low, open shop wall.
- Prep and protective coverings: Ask what preparation is included and whether a thermal barrier or other covering is needed for the space.

Questions we get
Does Empire Insulation work in Fernwood?
Yes. Fernwood is in Empire's service area, and it is in Benewah County, like Empire's home base of St. Maries. Nick Bond travels 100+ miles for projects in Idaho, so call or text with your building and what you want insulated.
Which service fits my building?
Start with where the project stands. Open walls and roofs on a new build are the easiest to spray, and air sealing, vapor barriers and sound control can be planned before drywall goes up. In an existing building, foam goes where the cavities or surfaces can be reached. Empire does not remove existing insulation, so mention what is in there now.
Which foam does Empire spray?
Mostly closed-cell. Empire sprays 2-lb closed-cell and HFO closed-cell foam for homes, shops and commercial buildings. Closed-cell is dense and can act as a vapor retarder at the thickness the product specifies. Open-cell can be provided for a specific project, but Empire generally does not spray it.
Do I need drywall over the foam?
Often, yes, in occupied space. Codes generally require an approved thermal barrier, such as 1/2-inch gypsum drywall, between foam and the rooms you live or work in. Some attics and crawl spaces allow an ignition barrier instead. It depends on the product, the assembly and local code, so ask Nick what applies to your building.
What should I send for an estimate?
Call, text or use the form with what you are building or insulating, how you will use it, rough dimensions and whether the framing is open. Photos of the framing help, and so do plans for a new build. Estimates are free, and veterans and service members get a discount that depends on the job.
