New homes and old

Growth means new homes, and new homes are the best time to get insulation right. If you are building, foam in the walls and on the roof deck goes in after rough-in and before drywall. Older homes here need the usual attic and crawl space work.

Early industry

A sawmill, grist mill and cotton gin started here in the early 1900s, and telephone service arrived in 1909. A few older farmhouses from that era remain, with walls and floors that were never insulated.

Shops on acreage

Rural lots here often have steel shops and barns. Closed-cell foam on the steel stops condensation and makes the building usable year-round.

New construction checklist

If you are building in West Point, decide early whether the attic will be vented or sealed, because a sealed attic changes the roof vent plan and the HVAC layout. Plan the order: rough-in inspections, then insulation, then drywall. Alabama's code summary lists R-30 ceilings and R-20 or R-13 plus R-5 continuous walls in zone 3. Foam can meet or beat both. We coordinate with your builder so the foam goes in between inspection and drywall without holding up the schedule.
