Cellulose & Spray Foam Insulation for Homes in Athens, VT
We provide spray foam and cellulose insulation to homeowners in Athens, VT and across Windham County. Depending on the space, that might mean cellulose for the attic or spray foam for the basement or crawl space. Every home gets a proper look before we make a recommendation.
Spray Foam & Cellulose for Athens, Vermont Homes
The right insulation depends on the property, not a fixed package, so we start by looking at what’s actually there. Spray foam and cellulose solve different problems, and older basements or attics in the Athens area usually make the right call obvious. Both qualify for Efficiency Vermont incentives.
Spray Foam Insulation
In basements, crawl spaces, and rim joists, spray foam locks out air and moisture with a continuous seal. It offers a high R-value per inch, and we keep the installation process clean and efficient.
Cellulose Insulation
In attics, cellulose is our first choice. Made from recycled materials and treated against fire, mold, and pests, it’s blown in to reach every corner of the attic floor, including the gaps around framing and wiring.

What insulation do you recommend for older Vermont farmhouses?
