Where Winter Counts More

Spray Foam Insulation in Roxboro has a little more to do with winter than it does in Durham. Wikipedia notes Roxboro averages about 7.2 inches of snow a year, often gets the most snow in central North Carolina storms because of its elevation, and is sometimes called the Snow Capital of the Triangle. Freezing rain and sleet happen most winters, and the record low there is -9F, set in January 1985.

Older houses in town

Roxboro was incorporated in 1855 and is the only municipality in Person County. Its National Register listings include the Roxboro Commercial Historic District, the Roxboro Cotton Mill and several older houses. Many homes in and around town are decades old, with thin attic insulation, older windows and crawl spaces that let cold air under the floor in winter. Sealing the attic and insulating or sealing the crawl space helps in both seasons, and in Roxboro the winter benefit is easier to feel.

Vacant and seasonal houses

The 2020 census counted 3,937 housing units in Roxboro, with 10.9% vacant, more than in most towns we serve. Houses that sit empty or lightly heated through the winter can have frozen pipes in the crawl space. Insulating crawl space walls and sealing vents, or properly insulating the floor and the pipes, reduces that risk.

Lakes and outbuildings

Hyco Lake and Mayo Lake draw cabins and second homes, and rural lots often have shops and garages. Closed-cell foam is a good fit for both, insulating and air sealing in one step.

Costs

HomeGuide's national ranges list crawl space spray foam at $2,000 to $4,000, sealing foundation vents at $150 to $450 and an average attic insulation job at about $1,800. Roxboro houses vary widely, so we measure first. The number on our written estimate is the price.

Roxboro Questions

Can crawl space insulation help prevent frozen pipes in Roxboro?

Yes. Sealing vents and insulating crawl space walls keeps the space warmer, and pipes in a vented crawl space can be insulated directly. We look at where the pipes run before recommending one approach.

Do you insulate lake cabins near Hyco or Mayo Lake?

Yes. Cabins often need floor or crawl space work and attic sealing, and closed-cell foam is useful in odd-shaped or unfinished spaces.

Is Roxboro in your service area?

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

How much attic insulation does a Roxboro house need?

Person County is in Climate Zone 4A, where North Carolina's 2018 code calls for R-38 ceilings and ENERGY STAR suggests up to R-60 for uninsulated attics. We measure what you have and quote the depth that reaches the target.
