A Railroad Village South of Town
Spray Foam Insulation in Kingsley covers village homes and the farm buildings in Paradise Township around it. The railroad between Cadillac and Traverse City was finished in 1872, Judson Kingsley platted Kingsley Station in 1876, and in 1893 Kingsley and the neighboring village of Paradise united and incorporated as Kingsley.
Village housing
The 2020 census counted 1,431 residents and 604 housing units, with 514 households. The population has stayed close to 1,450 to 1,480 since 2000. Homes range from older frame houses near the center to newer houses on the edges.
What we usually do
Older homes need attic sealing and depth, rim joist foam and sometimes wall filling. Newer homes usually need rim foam and attic hatch sealing.
Pole barns and shops
Farms and rural lots around Kingsley have pole barns, machine sheds and shops. Closed-cell foam on steel stops condensation and lets owners heat a shop through a Zone 6 winter.
Zone 6
Grand Traverse County is in Climate Zone 6A. The Department of Energy recommends R-60 for an empty attic or R-49 added over 3 to 4 inches.
Newer homes on the edges
Newer houses around Kingsley usually have reasonable attic insulation but open rim joists and leaky attic hatches. A day of foam on the rim and some sealing in the attic often makes the most difference for the money.
Basements and pipes
Where older homes have crawl spaces or partial basements, pipes can freeze in a cold snap. Closed-cell foam on the walls and rim keeps those spaces closer to house temperature.
