Improve comfort and cut energy costs in your Decatur or Morgan County home.
Call For a Free EstimateDecatur sits along the Tennessee River in Morgan County, about 25 miles southwest of Huntsville. The city has a mix of older homes in established neighborhoods near downtown and newer construction spreading outward toward Priceville, Hartselle, and along Highway 31. Both older and newer Decatur homes benefit from spray foam insulation, though the specific issues tend to differ.
Homes built before 2000 in Decatur typically have fiberglass batt insulation that has degraded significantly. Many of these homes were insulated to standards that are well below current energy code requirements. The attics have thin, compressed fiberglass. The crawl spaces often have fiberglass hanging loose between floor joists, and some have no crawl space insulation at all. These homes are the ones where spray foam makes the biggest difference, because the gap between current insulation performance and what spray foam delivers is so large.
We regularly work with Decatur homeowners who are shocked by how much their comfort improves after spray foam installation. Rooms that were always too hot or too cold suddenly stay at a consistent temperature. The HVAC system runs less. Energy bills drop noticeably within the first billing cycle after installation.
Homes built in the past decade along the Highway 31 corridor and in Priceville often have blown-in cellulose or fiberglass in the attic but still lack proper air sealing. The insulation material may be sufficient in R-value on paper, but air leaks around recessed lights, plumbing penetrations, HVAC boots, and the attic hatch undermine its effectiveness. Spray foam applied over or in place of these materials seals every penetration and transforms the attic's thermal performance.
Decatur shares North Alabama's climate: hot, humid summers where temperatures regularly exceed 90 degrees, and winters where lows dip into the 20s and 30s. The Tennessee River corridor adds extra humidity to the air, which makes crawl space moisture problems especially common in the Decatur area. Closed-cell spray foam in your crawl space is the most effective way to manage that moisture and prevent the mold, wood rot, and musty air quality issues that come with it.
Summer cooling costs are the largest energy expense for most Decatur homeowners. Spray foam in the attic reduces attic temperatures dramatically, which means your air conditioner works against a much smaller heat load. The savings are most noticeable in June, July, and August when cooling costs are at their peak.
We provide spray foam insulation throughout Decatur and the surrounding Morgan County area, including Priceville, Hartselle, Trinity, Somerville, Falkville, Eva, and Lacey's Spring. We also serve nearby Lawrence County communities including Moulton and Town Creek.
