Spray Foam Insulation in York County, ME

York County is a long county and we are honest about which part of it we serve. Our shop is in Denmark, up in Oxford County, and the natural run south takes us through Sebago and Baldwin into the inland corner of York - Cornish, Parsonsfield, Limington and the towns beside them. That is where we work. We do not go down to Kittery, Ogunquit, Wells or Biddeford, and a contractor telling you they cover the whole of York County from up here is telling you something about their pricing rather than their coverage. If you are in the inland corner, we are closer to you than most of the companies advertising in your area, and it shows in what the job costs.

What York County is built like

This corner is farmland and river valley rather than coast, and the buildings follow. Nineteenth century village houses, timber-frame and early stick-built farmhouses with the barns and carriage sheds that came with them, and capes and colonials strung along the older roads. Almost none of it was built with insulation in mind, because almost none of it was built in a century that thought about insulation. Cavities are irregular, framing is rarely on a consistent spacing, and there is often no sheathing behind the clapboards.

Working in York County

Old buildings are where expanding foam earns its keep, because it takes the shape of whatever it finds instead of needing a tidy rectangular bay to sit in. They are also where care matters most. A timber frame that has breathed freely for two centuries can be damaged by sealing it in the wrong place, so we look at the whole assembly and where the moisture is going before we decide which side to work from. Sometimes the right answer on part of a building is to leave it be, and we will tell you that rather than spray it anyway.

What a job costs depends on the space and the depth it needs. Here is how we price it, with the arithmetic shown rather than a number quoted down the phone.
