An 1870s Town's Homes
Spray foam insulation in Halstead serves an older Harvey County town. Halstead was laid out in 1873, the same year its post office opened, and incorporated in 1877. It was named for Murat Halstead, a Civil War correspondent and newspaper editor. Its restored Santa Fe depot now houses the Halstead Heritage Museum. The 2020 census counted 2,179 residents and 914 housing units, 9.1 percent vacant.
Older homes
Halstead's older frame houses usually have small attics, hollow walls and basements. Attic sealing and depth, rim joist foam and dense-packed walls are the usual plan.
Shops
Steel shops and garages in and around town benefit from closed-cell foam.
Newer homes
Newer homes need sealing at attic penetrations and topping up.
Low ground
Halstead sits along the Little Arkansas River. Homes on lower ground can have damp basements, so we check for water before insulating any foundation wall.
Visit and quote
We measure the attic, check the basement and rim joist, and look at any shop. Each area is priced on its own line.
Scheduling
Most attic jobs are done in a day; foam needs 24 hours or more to cure.
Comparing quotes
Ask each insulation company in Harvey County to list material, thickness and R-value by area. Our written quotes are set up that way.
Farm buildings outside town
Farms around Halstead have pole barns and machine sheds. Closed-cell foam on the steel stops the dripping.
Older downtown blocks
Houses on the older blocks near downtown Halstead often have tall walls and small attics. Dense-packed walls and a sealed attic make those rooms far more even in temperature, summer and winter.
