What we do in Plummer
Close enough for Nick to come see the building
Plummer is in Benewah County with Empire's home town, west of St. Maries on the Coeur d'Alene Reservation. Being close means Nick can usually walk the building with you before he firms up a quote, which helps on jobs that are hard to judge from photos: a crawl space with moisture questions, an older house with partial access or a shop that is half finished.
Start with how the building is used. A shop you heat needs a sealed shell, with Nick's rule of thumb of 2 inches of closed-cell on the walls and 3 on the roof. A pole barn or metal building that sits cold needs foam right on the steel; in a North Idaho winter, moist air meeting cold panels turns to water and drips. Cold storage usually takes 4 to 6 inches.
In a house, the crawl space and attic come first. Foam on foundation walls and rim joists, with a vapor barrier over the ground, deals with the cold floor; foam in the attic stops warm air leaking out the top.
Empire sprays closed-cell foam in Plummer, in 2-lb or HFO. Choose your building below, and follow the service links further down the page.
Shop insulation
A sealed, insulated shell for a heated shop, with foam filling around posts, girts and door framing.
Pole barn spray foam
Foam on the panels and between girts and purlins keeps moist air off cold steel. It does not repair a roof leak.
Closed-cell spray foam
Dense foam that insulates, seals and slows vapor in one pass, a Class II vapor retarder at 1.5 to 2 inches. Open-cell is available on request.
Crawl space insulation
Foam on foundation walls and rim joists with a vapor barrier or encapsulation. Drainage problems need their own fix.
Attic insulation
Foam on the attic floor or the roof deck. They make different insulated boundaries, so the plan comes first.
Metal building insulation
Closed-cell bonds to steel and keeps warm, moist air off it, which helps control condensation.
New construction
The easiest time to foam is with the framing open, before drywall. Occupied rooms need a thermal barrier over the foam.
Retrofits
Foam wherever there is access in a building that is already up. Empire does not do blown-in or insulation removal.

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.

What affects the price
Empire does not publish prices. Nick gives a rough estimate from what you tell him and a firm quote after seeing the building. Estimates are free, and veterans and service members get a discount that depends on the job.
| Job | What affects the quote |
|---|---|
| Closed-Cell Spray Foam | Area sprayed, installed thickness and access |
| Shop & Garage Insulation | Building size, wall and roof area, and how the space is used |
| Pole Barn Insulation | Building size, wall and roof area, and foam thickness |
| Crawl Space Insulation | Wall and rim-joist area, access and moisture plan |
| Attic Insulation | Insulated boundary chosen, area and access |
| New Construction Insulation | Wall and roof area and the build stage |
| Commercial Insulation | Scope, access and time out of the work area |
| Metal Building Insulation | Steel area covered, surface condition and access |
| Retrofit Insulation | Open areas, access and existing materials |
- How the building is used: Heated shops, cold storage and living space each call for a different foam depth.
- Area being sprayed: Walls, roof, rim joists and crawl-space walls being foamed set the price, not the floor area.
- Access and clearing: Open framing is quick. Tight crawl spaces add time, and stored items need moving; the crew can help if you cannot.
- Moisture and barrier work: Vapor barriers, encapsulation and any required thermal or ignition barrier change scope. Compare bids on the same items.

Questions we get
Does Empire Insulation work in Plummer?
Yes. Plummer is in Benewah County, just west of Empire's base in St. Maries, so it is close to home. Nick Bond quotes each job himself, sprays it with one consistent crew member and stays on site from start to finish.
Can Nick come look at my building before quoting?
Usually. He gives a rough estimate from what you send and a firm quote once he has seen the job, and Plummer is a short trip. Photos and rough dimensions still help him come prepared with the right questions.
Do veterans get a discount?
Yes. Veterans and service members get a discount that depends on the job. Mention it when you call or text, and Nick will include it in the estimate. Estimates are free either way.
My floors are cold. Will foam in the crawl space help?
Often. Closed-cell foam on the foundation walls and rim joists insulates and seals the crawl space, and a vapor barrier covers the ground. If water is getting in, that needs its own fix first. Nick will look at it with you.
What happens on spray day?
Clear what you can away from the walls; if you cannot, tell Nick and the crew will help. Nick sprays with one consistent crew member. Everyone else stays out during spraying and the re-occupancy period, and the site is left cleaner than they found it.
