Small City, Mostly Post-1960 Housing

Spray foam insulation in Little Canada usually involves homes from the 1960s on. Point2Homes' summary of 2019-2023 census data gives a median construction year of 1979. The settlement goes back to 1844, when Benjamin Gervais built a grist mill by the lake that now bears his name, and the village was established in 1953 when the township faced suburban growth around it.

Typical houses

Little Canada has a mix of ramblers, split-levels, townhomes and condos. The rim joist and attic are the usual targets. In split-levels, the lower level often needs rim and wall foam.

Lakes

Lake Gervais and other lakes take up about 0.59 of the city's 4.48 square miles, and homes near the water should have basements checked for moisture before insulating.

Code and frost

Ramsey County is in Climate Zone 6 of Minnesota's energy code and frost Zone II.

Townhomes and condos

Many Little Canada homes are townhomes or condos. Associations often control exterior work, so we check which areas are yours before quoting.

Split-level lower levels

Split-levels have lower levels partly below grade. Closed-cell foam on the rim and above-grade wall sections helps those rooms stay warm.

Costs

National ranges: rim joist foam $2,000 to $2,500 and average attic insulation $1,000 to $2,700 (HomeGuide). We measure and price in writing.

Rebates

Xcel Energy's 2024-2026 rebate summary lists 40% of cost, up to $1,200, for attics going from R-19 or less to R-49 or more, when air sealing is included.
