Insulating Homes in The Colony
Spray Foam Insulation in The Colony deals with two distinct generations of houses. Fox and Jacobs bought about 3,000 acres in 1973 for a mostly single-family community, and the first families moved in during October 1974. Then a second wave of building came in the 2000s and 2010s. ACS data summarized by Point2Homes shows 18.4% of homes from the 1970s and 49.7% from the 2000s and 2010s combined.
The 1970s homes
The original Fox and Jacobs houses are now about 50 years old. They were insulated to 1970s standards, and the attic insulation has usually settled, been disturbed or partly replaced. Ductwork may be original or patched. These attics benefit most from sealing the ceiling, sealing duct boots and blowing to a much deeper depth. When owners remodel and open walls, we can spray foam the exterior walls too.
The 2000s and 2010s homes
Newer neighborhoods are mostly two-story homes with HVAC in the attic. They usually have more insulation on paper, but the air sealing details are hit or miss. Kneewalls, chases and duct boots are the usual targets.
By the lake
About 23 miles of Lewisville Lake shoreline lie within city limits, which is where the nickname City by the Lake comes from. About 67.7% of housing units are detached single-family homes and 59.8% are owner-occupied, so most of our jobs are single-family attics.
