Spray Foam Insulation in Perry, GA

Spray Foam Insulation in Perry serves one of the fastest-growing towns in Middle Georgia. Perry grew from 13,839 people in 2010 to 20,624 in 2020, a 49% jump. Point2Homes' census summary shows 33.4% of homes were built in the 2010s and 6.2% since 2020, with another 14.2% from the 1960s.

An old county seat

Perry was founded in 1823 as Wattsville and incorporated on December 9, 1824, with its first limits a one-mile circle bounded on the north by Big Indian Creek. I-75 came through the west side in the early 1960s, and the Georgia National Fairgrounds opened in 1990.

New homes, newer issues

Homes built in the 2010s meet a modern code, but builder-grade insulation can leave gaps: bonus rooms with thin kneewalls, attic ducts losing cool air, and attic stairs that leak. Foam on kneewalls and under the bonus room floor, and sealing the attic stairs, are common fixes.

1960s homes

The older part of Perry has 1960s ranches on crawl spaces, where encapsulation and attic top-ups are the main jobs.

Sealed attics in new construction

Some newer Perry homes were built with sealed attics and foam under the roof deck. If yours was, the attic should feel close to indoor temperature in summer. If it does not, the foam may be thin or have gaps at the eaves and gables, which we can find and fill.

Code then and now

Homes built in Perry's 2010s boom went up under Georgia's energy code, which since January 1, 2020 has been the 2015 IECC with state amendments, listing R-38 for ceilings and R-13 for walls in Zone 3. Older Perry homes from the 1960s were built long before any of that. The gap between the two is usually biggest in the attic and under the floor, which is where we look first in an older house. In a newer house, the code-level insulation is usually there, so the gains come from sealing the air leaks the builder left and filling the gaps around bonus rooms and vaulted ceilings.
