Spray Foam Insulation in Fruita, CO

Spray Foam Insulation in Fruita deals with some of the widest temperature swings in the valley. Fruita averages about 9.89 inches of precipitation and a 145-day freeze-free period, and its records run from 111F down to -36F. William Pabor founded Fruita in 1884, and it was incorporated on April 18, 1894.

A town that doubled

Fruita's population went from 6,478 in 2000 to 12,646 in 2010 and 13,395 in 2020. That means a lot of houses from the 2000s, with the usual builder-era gaps: unsealed duct boots, open chases and kneewalls without an air barrier. Sealing those and evening out the attic insulation usually helps more than anything else.

Older Fruita

The town received its first water from the Colorado River in 1907, and the town center was electrified in 1909. Older homes near the center often have little wall insulation and thin attics. Dense-pack cellulose can fill closed walls; attics get sealed and deepened.

Farm and ranch buildings

Fruita still has farmland and ranches around it, with shops and barns. Closed-cell foam on steel stops condensation and frost, and makes heating a shop practical.

Planning around the freeze-free season

With a freeze-free period of only about 145 days, heating season in Fruita is long. That is why we start with air sealing at the top and bottom of the house, the cheapest heat savings available, and then build the attic toward the R-60 the 2021 IECC lists for Zone 5. Crawl spaces and rim joists come next, priced separately so you can spread the work out.
