A Priest River shop that holds its heat all winter
Closed-cell foam insulates and seals the shell in one pass, so the heat you pay for stays in and drafts around doors and framing drop.

What we do in Priest River
Tell us how you use the building, and the plan follows
Like the rest of North Idaho, Priest River gets cold, snowy winters. That is when a building shows its weak spots: heat leaking out, drafts at the doors, water forming where warm air meets cold steel. Tell Nick whether you heat the space, how often you are in it and which surfaces are still open. A shop you work in daily, a barn that stores equipment and a home being framed each get a different plan, and Nick sizes the foam to that use.
Start with the problem you want gone. Each line shows what foam does about it and what still needs planning.
Heat leaking out of a shop
Foam between the girts and on the ceiling insulates and air-seals in one step, so a heated shop holds its temperature longer. Your heater and doors still matter.
Drafts at doors and framing
Sprayed foam fills the irregular gaps around openings, girts and plates that batts tend to leave behind, so wind has fewer ways in.
Water on cold metal
Closed-cell foam against metal panels stops the air and vapor that make the metal sweat. It does not fix roof leaks.
Pole barns and metal buildings
Walls first or walls and roof together. Nick can tell you which order makes sense for how you heat and use the building.
Homes and new framing
Open walls and roofs are the easiest to spray. Air sealing, sound control and wall assemblies can be planned before the drywall goes up.
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.

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.

- Surface area being sprayed: A tall shop has far more wall and roof than its footprint suggests. Rough dimensions and wall height help Nick price it.
- Foam type and thickness: Empire installs 2-lb closed-cell and HFO closed-cell foam. Thickness depends on the product and what you want the building to do.
- Walls only or walls and roof: Adding the roof adds area. On a metal roof, foam is what keeps condensation off the steel.
- Access and prep: Open framing, door openings, stored equipment and how close the rig can get all change setup time.

Questions we get
Does Empire Insulation work in Priest River?
Yes. Priest River 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, and he will talk it through.
Should I insulate the walls, the roof, or both?
It depends on how you heat and use the building. Walls alone make a real difference in a heated shop. The roof is where condensation on metal usually shows up, and foam on the roof deck is the practical way to insulate it. Nick can walk you through both options before you decide.
Will foam stop the dripping in my metal building?
Foam is how Nick deals with it. Metal moves heat right through it, so when temperatures swing the steel drops below the dew point and drips. Closed-cell foam against the panels stops the air and vapor from reaching the cold steel. It will not fix an actual roof leak, so sort any leaks out first.
Who actually does the work on my building?
Nick Bond, the owner. He quotes the job, sprays the foam himself with one consistent crew member and stays on site from start to finish. His Graco rig monitors the foam's mix ratio while he sprays, and he can produce an application report for you or your contractor on request.
What should I send for an estimate?
Call, text or use the form with what the building is, how you use it, its rough size and what you want insulated. Photos of the framing help. Estimates are free, and veterans and service members get a discount that depends on the job.
