What we do in Santa
Decide which surfaces need foam first
Santa is an unincorporated community in Benewah County, inside Empire's service area. Wherever the building sits, the plan comes down to the surfaces. Foam on the walls and roof of a shop or pole barn helps keep the heat in and condensation off the steel. An attic means choosing between foam on the floor and foam on the roof deck. A crawl space covers the floor above and the ground below, and foam does not replace moisture control there. Tell Nick what bothers you most, whether drafts, cold floors or dripping metal, and he will help you set the scope.
Match your building to the closest option below. Most projects come down to use, the surfaces being insulated and whether you can reach the framing.
Closed-cell spray foam
Empire installs 2-lb closed-cell and HFO closed-cell foam. It is dense, seals air gaps and can work as a vapor retarder at the thickness the product calls for.
Shop and garage insulation
Foam on walls and ceilings can cut air leakage in a workspace and hold heat better. Tell us if the walls are finished or open framing.
Pole barn insulation
Foam can be applied to roof and wall surfaces between purlins and girts. Building height and access affect how the work is set up.
Crawl space insulation
Encapsulation is one of the project options. Foam does not replace ground-moisture control, so drainage and vapor barriers are part of the discussion.
Attic insulation
Foam can go on the attic floor or on the roof deck. These create different insulated boundaries, and a roof-deck approach needs a ventilation and moisture plan.
New construction insulation
Open framing gives the easiest access to wall and roof assemblies. Options include wall assemblies, hybrid packages and air sealing.
Commercial and metal buildings
Closed-cell foam can help control condensation on metal panels when it is part of a suitable assembly. Shipping containers are also on the project list.
Retrofit insulation
For an existing building, foam goes where you can reach. Empire does not remove old insulation, so plan for that before you call.

Look at how the foam sits between framing members: a tall wall sprayed with the rig still on site, and roofs covered between the purlins and trusses, from the peak down the slope.

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 different products. The one you choose affects material cost and the thickness needed.
- Installed thickness: Thicker foam uses more material. The right depth depends on the assembly and the product documentation.
- Surface area: Walls, roof decks and gables add up differently than floor area. Rough dimensions of each surface help scope the job.
- Access and framing: Open framing is quicker to reach than finished walls. Height, tight spaces and crawl space entry change the work.
- Preparation and coverings: Air sealing, vapor barriers, coatings and any required thermal barrier can add to the scope. Ask what each estimate includes.

Questions we get
Does Empire Insulation work in Santa?
Yes. Santa is in Empire's service area. Nick Bond runs the business from St. Maries, also in Benewah County, and travels 100+ miles for projects in Idaho. Call or text with the building and the surfaces you want insulated.
What kinds of buildings can you insulate?
Homes, shops, garages, pole barns, metal buildings, attics, crawl spaces and shipping containers, new or existing. Start with how you use the building, then which surfaces need foam. Open framing is the simplest to spray. Finished spaces take more planning around access.
Can I get a record of how my foam was sprayed?
Yes. Nick sprays with Graco equipment that has ratio monitoring, and he can generate an application report for you or your contractor. Ask for it when you set up the job, and keep it with the rest of the building's paperwork.
What happens on spray day?
Nick sprays the foam himself with one consistent crew member and stays on site throughout. Keep people and other trades out of the work area during spraying and cleanup, and ask ahead of time for the product's ventilation and return instructions so you can plan around them.
What should I send to get an estimate?
Call, text or use the form with the building type, how you use it, its rough size and which surfaces you want foamed. Photos of the framing help. Estimates are free, and veterans and service members get a discount that depends on the job.
