What we do in St. Maries
Local or not, the job starts with your building
Empire is based here in St. Maries, the Benewah County seat where the St. Joe and St. Maries rivers meet. Being close does not change the first question: what is the building and how do you use it? A heated shop needs a tight shell so the heat stays inside. A pole barn or metal building needs a plan for condensation, because warm, moist air meets cold steel all winter. A house needs a thermal barrier over the foam and a decision about the attic or crawl space. Describe yours to Nick and he will walk you through the options.
Empire installs 2-lb closed-cell and HFO closed-cell spray foam. Find your building type below to see where the work usually starts.
Closed-cell spray foam
Closed-cell foam is dense and can act as a vapor retarder at a product-specified thickness. It suits many walls, roofs and floors, but not every assembly. Product data sheets settle the details.
Shop and garage insulation
Sprayed between wall framing, foam fills the gaps around studs, girts and openings. That can cut air leakage and heat loss in a workspace. Heating and door seals still matter.
Pole barn and metal building insulation
Foam can go on metal panels and between framing members. In an appropriate assembly, closed-cell foam can help control condensation on the metal. It does not fix roof leaks.
Crawl space insulation
Crawl space work can include encapsulation and vapor barriers. Foam does not replace ground-moisture control or drainage. Some crawl spaces allow an ignition barrier instead of a thermal barrier.
Attic insulation
Foam can go on the attic floor or on the roof deck. Those create different insulated boundaries. A roof-deck conversion needs a ventilation and moisture-control plan before spraying.
New construction insulation
Open framing is the easiest access. Foam can be sprayed into wall and roof assemblies before drywall goes up. Occupied spaces generally need an approved thermal barrier over the foam.
Commercial insulation
Commercial jobs range from shops and storefronts to larger buildings. Empire also handles shipping containers, sound control, coatings and hybrid insulation packages.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit means adding insulation to a building that is already standing. Access decides the method. Empire does not remove old insulation or do blown-in.

Photos from our jobs
Look at how the foam meets the structure: up a crawl space foundation wall and into the rim joist bays, and over the posts and girts of a wall, built up in even passes beside a masked window.

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
Nick quotes each job on its own, and the estimate is free. What you pay follows the walls, roof and other surfaces getting foam and how thick it goes on, not the size of the floor. 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 |
- Foam type and thickness: Closed-cell and HFO closed-cell foam differ in material, and thicker layers use more of it. The thickness you need depends on the assembly and the product's documentation.
- Wall and roof surface area: Cost follows the square footage of walls, roof deck or floor being sprayed, not just the footprint of the building.
- Access and framing: Exposed framing is quicker to reach. Tight crawl spaces, finished walls or hard-to-reach roof areas add work and change how the job is done.
- Preparation and protective coverings: Masking, prep and any required thermal or ignition barrier can change scope. Ask any bidder whether these are included so estimates compare fairly.

Questions we get
Is Empire Insulation based in St. Maries?
Yes. Empire is a St. Maries business, and Nick Bond runs it from here. He also travels 100+ miles for projects in Idaho, so a St. Maries job is close to home. Call or text with what the building is and what you want insulated, and he will talk it through with you.
Which service fits my building?
Go by how you use it. A heated shop needs the walls and roof sealed so the heat stays put. A pole barn or metal building needs foam on the steel to keep condensation off it. An attic or crawl space comes down to where the insulated boundary goes. If you are not sure, describe the building and Nick will sort it out with you.
Will spray foam stop condensation dripping from my metal roof?
Closed-cell foam on metal panels stops the warm, moist air and the vapor drive from reaching the cold steel, which is what makes it sweat. It does not fix roof leaks or replace ground-moisture control. Tell Nick where the moisture shows up and how you heat the building.
Who actually does the work?
Nick Bond does. He quotes the job, sprays it with one consistent crew member and stays on site throughout. An Angi customer review put it this way: "Their price was excellent, the work was perfect, and they are extremely clean and organized."
What should I send to get a quote?
Call, text or use the form with what the building is, how you use it, its rough size and the areas you want insulated. Photos of the framing help. Estimates are free, and veterans and service members get a discount that depends on the job.
