Servicing Michigan's Lower Peninsula & Greater Toledo
You are sitting in your home during the winter and feel an annoying, cold draft.
Unfortunately, nobody forgot to shut the door - it is just another day in an uncomfortable home with insufficient or no wall insulation. Insulating the exterior wall cavities with RetroFoam injection foam will compress any old insulation in the walls and seal up the area to prevent air leakage - helping to reduce drafts, keep rooms more comfortable, control energy costs, and deaden outside noise.
Foam insulation fills all the nooks and crannies in existing walls to provide the necessary air seal to reduce drafts and keep indoor temperatures consistent.
Foam insulation in exterior walls can help deaden the outside noise of loud vehicles, noisy neighbors, and barking dogs.
Preventing air leakage improves your home’s energy efficiency, reduces the carbon footprint, and puts more money back in your pocket.
The easy and convenient install process turns your family’s dream of a comfortable home into a reality - without the stress and mess of a full remodel.
Our retrofit exterior wall insulation process is quick, simple, and typically installed in just one day. Most walls are insulated from the outside, but we can also inject foam into walls from the inside if needed. However, the install process is slightly different depending on the home’s siding type - whether it is vinyl, aluminum, wood, brick, or block siding.
We started insulating existing walls with RetroFoam in 2002. Thousands of projects later, we know what it takes to install a great product.
Our consultative project managers, highly skilled crews, and helpful office staff aim to guide you through the process with ease. To top things off, our lifetime warranty gives your family access to our family long after the job is complete.
You get premium injection foam insulation and top-of-the-line technology that delivers a consistent, reliable, and safe product.
You receive experienced, highly skilled, and professional crews - who are our employees - to complete your install.
We stand behind our work with a lifetime warranty on the product and workmanship, so you’re now part of the family.
Kevin Volker didn't just find frost outside in the winter -- he also found it forming inside his home on the walls.
As you can imagine, that is a real problem and a problem that led Kevin to update his existing wall insulation with RetroFoam.
Kevin’s home has siding and a brick exterior. He said the crews took such care removing his siding and drilling into the mortar -- there's no evidence on the outside the work was done. But on the inside, there's nothing but comfort.
“You can’t even tell they were there,” Kevin said.
