Spray Foam Insulation in Boyne City, MI

Spray Foam Insulation in Boyne City covers the largest city in Charlevoix County, at the eastern end of Lake Charlevoix, Michigan's third-largest inland lake. The area was first settled in 1856 by the Dixon and Miller families; the Boyne post office opened in 1869, the community became a village in 1885, was renamed Boyne City in 1904 and became a city in 1907.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 3,816 residents and 2,298 housing units, 26.6% vacant, a sign of many seasonal and second homes. The median age was 46.0. In-town homes are often older houses on basements; lake houses and newer homes on the hills around town add vaulted ceilings, walk-out basements and complex roofs.

Older in-town homes

Older homes near downtown benefit from rim joist foam, attic sealing and depth, and dense-pack walls where they are empty.

Lake houses

Lake houses on Lake Charlevoix face wind and moisture off the water. Walk-out basements, rooms over garages and vaulted great rooms are best handled with closed-cell foam.

Seasonal homes

With a quarter of homes vacant at census time, many owners need a house that stays protected while closed up. Sealed crawl spaces and basements help keep plumbing areas warmer.

Hillside homes

Newer homes on the hills above town often have garages under living space and bonus rooms. Floors over garages and kneewalls around bonus rooms are frequent cold spots, and closed-cell foam handles both well.
