Spray Foam Insulation in Bloomingdale, GA

Spray foam insulation in Bloomingdale often means a house and a shop on the same lot. Bloomingdale sits on the northwestern edge of Chatham County, about 13 miles west of downtown Savannah by U.S. 80 or I-16. It covers about 14 square miles but had just 2,790 residents in 2020, so lots tend to be bigger and more rural than in neighboring Pooler.

The houses

The census counted 1,319 housing units in Bloomingdale in 2020. Many are older single-story homes with vented crawl spaces and modest attic insulation, along with manufactured homes and some newer houses. The median age of residents is 40, older than most of west Chatham, and long-time owners often have original insulation.

Crawl spaces

At about 20 feet above sea level, with water covering nearly 9% of the city's area, Bloomingdale has damp ground. Under older homes we check for standing water and fallen batts, then quote encapsulation, a ground liner, or closed-cell foam under the floor.

Shops and outbuildings

Metal shops and garages are common on larger lots. Closed-cell foam on the steel keeps condensation off tools and vehicles and makes the building easier to cool if you add a window unit or mini-split.

Attics

For older homes, sealing the ceiling and blowing in insulation is usually the most cost-effective upgrade. Chatham County is in Climate Zone 2A, and the Department of Energy suggests adding R-38 to R-49 over a few inches of existing insulation. Get a free estimate

A typical Bloomingdale visit

We check the attic first, then crawl under the house, then look at any shop or garage. In older homes we often find the attic insulation pushed aside by past repairs or cable installs, and floor batts hanging under the house. Each fix goes on the quote separately so you can decide what to do first.

Cost guide

HomeGuide lists closed-cell spray foam at $3.00 to $5.00 per square foot and crawl space vapor barriers at about $1,200 to $4,000. A metal shop is priced by its wall and roof area. The written estimate after our visit is your price.
