Between Two Arms of the Bay
Spray Foam Insulation in Peninsula Township means homes, cottages and farm buildings on the Old Mission Peninsula, which runs about 17 miles north from Traverse City and divides Grand Traverse Bay into its East and West arms. At its widest it is only about 3.25 miles from shore to shore, so almost every home is exposed to wind off one bay or the other.
Old roots
The township was organized in 1853 as one of Grand Traverse County's first two townships. Presbyterian ministers Peter Dougherty and John Fleming founded a mission settlement there in May 1839, described as the first European settlement in the Grand Traverse Bay region. Mission Point Light sits at the northern tip, just south of the 45th parallel.
Orchards and wineries
The peninsula is known for cherries and wine; it is part of the Old Mission Peninsula AVA, home to eleven wineries. Farm buildings, tasting rooms and storage barns benefit from closed-cell foam, which stops condensation on steel and holds steady temperatures.
Homes on the water
The township had 6,068 residents at the 2020 census, up from 5,433 in 2010. Homes range from older farmhouses and cottages to large newer houses with vaulted ceilings and walkout basements. Wind exposure makes air sealing at the rim, walkout walls and attic floor especially important.
Zone 6
Grand Traverse County is in Climate Zone 6A, with an attic target of R-60.

Peninsula Township Questions
Do homes on the peninsula need more air sealing?
Wind off both bays pushes air through every gap, so sealing the rim, walkout walls and attic floor matters as much as adding insulation.
Can you insulate a winery or farm building?
Yes. Closed-cell foam on steel or wood stops condensation and helps hold steady temperatures.
What about vaulted ceilings in newer homes?
Closed-cell foam in the rafter bays gives the most R-value in shallow space and helps prevent ice dams.
Do you travel to the tip of the peninsula?
Yes. We cover the whole township.
