Spray Foam Insulation in Arab, AL

Spray Foam Insulation in Arab serves homes on top of Brindlee Mountain. Arab sits at 1,100 feet near the southwest end of the Appalachian Plateau, mostly in Marshall County with a small part in Cullman County, about 10 miles from Guntersville Lake. State Route 69 leads 23 miles southwest to Cullman.

Higher and cooler

At 1,100 feet, Arab sits higher than Cullman. Winter nights are a touch colder, so floor insulation, crawl space sealing and attic depth all show up on heating bills. Marshall County is in climate zone 3A, where the Alabama code summary lists R-30 ceilings and R-19 floors.

Steady housing

Arab had 8,461 residents in 2020, with 3,739 housing units and 6.8% vacant. Housing ranges from older homes near the business district to newer subdivisions. Most need attic sealing and depth; many with crawl spaces need floor or crawl space work.

On the divide

The city lies on the Tennessee Valley Divide, with the north side draining toward the Tennessee River and the south side toward the Mulberry Fork. Hilly lots can send water toward foundations, so we check crawl spaces for standing water.

Attic insulation for a higher, cooler town

A sealed and well insulated attic matters in both seasons at Arab's elevation. The Department of Energy suggests R-49 to R-60 for an uninsulated attic in zone 3, or adding R-38 to R-49 on top of 3 to 4 inches. Blown cellulose or fiberglass gets there for a modest cost once the attic floor is sealed. If your ducts or air handler are in the attic, foam on the roof deck is the other option, and we price both.
