A County Seat in the Middle of a Boom

Spray Foam Insulation in Pittsboro serves a town that has been the Chatham County seat since shortly after the Revolution and is now one of the fastest-changing places in the region. The courthouse town grew slowly for two centuries; in 2000 it had 939 housing units. By 2020 the census counted 1,901, and the 7,100-acre Chatham Park development, announced in 2013, is planned for about 22,000 homes.

Older houses near the courthouse

Pittsboro's older houses, around the courthouse square and along the old streets, often have little attic insulation, uninsulated walls and crawl spaces with dirt floors. We start with the attic and crawl space and talk about walls if you are renovating.

New homes in Chatham Park

Brand-new houses are built to the current energy code, but owners who want better comfort or lower bills sometimes add insulation, especially over bonus rooms and in attics with ductwork. If you are buying new, ask your builder about air sealing and insulation upgrades before closing; if you have already moved in, we can look at what was installed and point out any gaps.

Water and moisture

Jordan Lake, about 8 miles east, covers 14,000 acres, and the Haw River passes just north of town. Low-lying lots and wooded slopes can mean damper crawl spaces. We check drainage and wood moisture before insulating under any house.

Costs

HomeGuide's national ranges put attic air sealing at $350 to $3,000, open-cell foam at $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot, and closed-cell at $3.00 to $5.00. Fixr lists foam in new construction at $2.75 to $6.50 per square foot. We price your house after looking, and the written estimate is what you pay.

Rural Chatham County

Outside town, many homes sit on larger lots with wells, crawl space plumbing and outbuildings. We check where pipes run before sealing a crawl space, and we can insulate detached shops and garages with closed-cell foam.

Chatham County is in IECC Climate Zone 4A. North Carolina's 2018 energy code lists R-38 for ceilings there, and ENERGY STAR suggests R-49 added over existing attic insulation of 3 to 4 inches. Get a free estimate

Pittsboro Questions

Should I upgrade insulation in a brand-new Chatham Park home?

Not everywhere. A targeted check of kneewalls, attic hatches, ductwork and the floor over the garage often finds the spots worth improving.

Do you work on older homes near the Pittsboro courthouse?

Yes. Attic and crawl space work usually comes first, with walls during renovations.

Is Pittsboro in your service area?

Yes, it is at the southern edge of the area we cover from Durham.

Do you insulate homes on wells with crawl space plumbing?

Yes. We check where the pipes and pressure tank are before sealing vents or insulating, so nothing is left exposed to freezing.
