Lake Homes in Timber Town
Spray Foam Insulation in Lewiston covers a lake community that started as a lumber town. Lewiston's post office opened on April 25, 1892, and the town is still known as Timber Town. The Lewiston Area Historical Society Museum is in an original 1892 home built for the manager of the Michelson & Hanson Lumber Company. The community sits on the north side of East Twin Lake in southwestern Montmorency County, 27 miles southeast of Gaylord.
Water everywhere
The Lewiston CDP covers 4.1 square miles, and over 38% of it is water. East and West Twin lakes are part of the Au Sable watershed. Lake homes here see moisture in crawl spaces and basements, which makes closed-cell foam and ground liners important.
Retirement and seasonal homes
The census showed an older community, with a third of residents 65 or older. Many homes are year-round retirement houses; others are seasonal. Full-time owners want warm floors and lower bills; seasonal owners want a house that stays protected while closed.
Cottage conversions
Cottages built for summer often need floors, ceilings and walls insulated before they can be used comfortably in winter. We plan each one around how it will be used.
Climate
Montmorency County is in Climate Zone 6A on OpenEI's list. ENERGY STAR recommends R-60 for an empty attic.
