Certified Michigan contractors serving Dearborn Heights and surrounding areas. Open-cell, closed-cell, attic, crawl space, pole barn, and commercial — same-week estimates.
The ranch homes and bungalows that fill Dearborn Heights neighborhoods were built between 1950 and 1970, when Wayne County was booming with automotive industry workers. Construction standards from that era prioritized square footage and fast build cycles — not air sealing. The rim joists, crawl spaces, and attic knee walls in these homes are exposed in ways that make heating bills climb every winter. Spray foam addresses the air infiltration that fiberglass cannot stop.
Dearborn Heights shares the same construction era and building type as neighboring Dearborn — small to mid-size ranch homes on modest lots, often with original uninsulated basements. Wayne County sits in Michigan's Zone 5B climate, where January lows regularly drop below 15 degrees F. That temperature differential between inside and outside creates the pressure that drives cold air through every gap in the building envelope.
DTE Energy serves most of Dearborn Heights. High winter gas bills in these homes trace directly to rim joist gaps, unprotected basement walls, and attics with insufficient coverage. Spray foam applied at these three locations cuts the infiltration load that drives those bills.
The rim joist — the wood framing that sits on top of the foundation wall — is typically uninsulated or covered with degraded fiberglass in most Dearborn Heights homes. Closed-cell spray foam applied directly to the rim joist and lower foundation wall creates an air seal and vapor barrier in a single pass. Finished or unfinished, the basement holds heat noticeably better in the first winter after treatment.
Ranch homes in Dearborn Heights have flat or low-pitch roof lines with attics that are consistently under-insulated. Open-cell spray foam at the underside of the roof deck converts the attic to conditioned space. This is the right approach for homes where HVAC ducts or water lines run through the attic.
Several Dearborn Heights neighborhoods have homes with crawl spaces rather than full basements. Closed-cell spray foam at the crawl space walls and floor perimeter creates a dry, stable environment that reduces both heating costs and structural moisture damage year-round.
Spray foam pricing in Dearborn Heights and Wayne County:
A rim joist job on a 1,100 sq ft ranch footprint runs $600 to $1,100 installed. A full attic conversion runs $1,600 to $3,200 depending on access and existing insulation. Most Dearborn Heights homeowners recover 20 to 30 percent of that cost in the first heating season.
We are licensed, insured, and serve Dearborn Heights and greater Wayne County.
