Spray Foam Insulation in Oldtown, ID
Yes, Empire Insulation sprays closed-cell foam in Oldtown. Nick Bond quotes the job himself and sprays it with a ratio-monitored rig. Warm air rises, so the roof or ceiling is often the place to start. Tell him whether you want the attic floor, the roof deck, a shop roof or the whole shell done. Estimates are free.
Stop losing heat through the roof of your Oldtown building
Warm air rises and slips out overhead. Closed-cell foam on the roof or ceiling insulates and seals that boundary, so the heat stays where you use it.

What we do in Oldtown
Decide where the insulated boundary goes
In a North Idaho winter, a poorly insulated roof shows up fast, in heating costs and in water dripping off cold steel. In Oldtown, as anywhere, the biggest decision is where the insulated boundary sits. Foam on the attic floor keeps the attic cold. Foam on the roof deck or between the purlins brings that space inside. In a house that takes a ventilation and moisture plan; in a pole building, foam is the practical way to insulate the roof. Tell Nick what you have and how you heat it, and he will lay out both options.
Pick the part of the building that is losing heat or collecting moisture, and see what foam does there.
Pole building and shop roofs
Foam between the purlins insulates the roof and stops the air and vapor that make the metal sweat. It does not fix roof leaks.
Attic floors
Foam on the attic floor seals the ceiling below and keeps heat in the rooms you use. The attic stays a cold, vented space.
Roof decks and vaulted ceilings
Foam between the rafters brings the roof inside the insulated shell. It needs a coordinated ventilation and moisture plan.
Walls
Closed-cell foam fills the cavities and seals around windows and framing, so drafts drop and heated rooms stay warmer.
Crawl spaces
Encapsulation and foam are both options. Foam does not replace ground-moisture control, so the soil, vents and vapor barrier belong in the plan.
Retrofits
Adding foam to an existing building depends on access, finished surfaces and what is already in the cavities.

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.

- Attic floor or roof deck: A sloped roof deck usually has more area than the attic floor below it, and it adds ventilation and moisture planning.
- Foam type and thickness: Empire installs 2-lb closed-cell and HFO closed-cell foam. Thickness comes from the product documentation and the R-value you want.
- Access overhead: Roof height, ductwork, tight attics and stored items change setup time and how much prep the job takes.
- What is already there: Empire does not remove existing insulation, so anything that has to come out first is a separate step to plan.

Questions we get
Does Empire Insulation work in Oldtown?
Yes. Oldtown is in Empire's service area. Nick runs the business from St. Maries and travels 100+ miles for projects in Idaho, and longer trips depend on the size of the project. Call or text with the address and what you want insulated.
Should I foam the attic floor or the roof deck?
They create different insulated boundaries. Attic-floor foam keeps the attic cold and vented. Roof-deck foam brings the attic inside the insulated shell, but it needs a coordinated ventilation and moisture plan first. Filling every visible cavity is not a design rule, so talk both options through with Nick before you decide.
Can you foam over the insulation I already have?
Empire does not remove existing insulation, and it does not do blown-in. Whether foam can go in depends on what is there and what can be reached. If old material has to come out, plan for that before spray day and mention it when you call.
Does the foam need to be covered?
Often, yes. Spray foam is combustible, and codes generally require an approved thermal barrier, such as 1/2-inch gypsum drywall, between foam and occupied space. Some attics and crawl spaces allow an ignition barrier or a tested assembly instead. It depends on the product, use and local code.
What should I send for an estimate?
Call, text or use the form with what the building is, how you heat it, its rough size and whether you want the roof, ceiling or walls done. Photos of the framing help. Estimates are free, and veterans and service members get a discount that depends on the job.
