"They showed up when they said they would and finished the spray foam in our crawl space the same day. My floors used to feel cold all winter - that problem is gone. The crew cleaned up completely before leaving."

Crawl Space Insulation
"We had three other quotes before calling Cape Girardeau Insulation Company. They were the only ones who actually went into the attic first and measured what was there before giving us a price. The attic insulation made a real difference on our July electric bill."
Karen T., Cape Girardeau, MO
Attic Insulation
"Our 1960s home had almost no wall insulation and the drafts in winter were bad. The blown-in retrofit job they did on the exterior walls took two days and the house feels completely different now. Worth every dollar."

Heat rises, and without adequate attic insulation it pours down through your ceiling all summer long. Addressing the attic is typically the single highest-impact fix for uneven temperatures in a home.
Air sealing closes the actual gaps where outside air enters your home. Insulation added on top of a leaky attic or wall only does part of the job - sealing first makes the insulation far more effective.
Homes built before the 1980s were built before modern energy codes existed. If you can see the wooden floor joists when you peek into your attic, your insulation is almost certainly too thin. The U.S. Department of Energy publishes{' '}recommended depth ranges{' '} by climate zone - Missouri falls in Zone 4.
Yes. The federal energy efficiency tax credit currently allows homeowners to claim a percentage of insulation upgrade costs on their federal return. AmerenMO also offers rebates to Cape Girardeau residents. Ask your contractor to document materials so you can claim both.
Closed-cell foam is denser, has a higher R-value per inch, and acts as a moisture barrier - best for crawl spaces, basements, and anywhere humidity is a concern. Open-cell is softer, more affordable, and better for interior walls and attic rafter bays where sound dampening is also a goal.
The Mississippi Valley humidity that defines Cape Girardeau's summers means vented crawl spaces pull warm, moist air under your home from May through September. According to{' '} the{' '}Building Science Corporation, encapsulated crawl spaces significantly reduce moisture-related structural damage in humid climates like southeast Missouri.
The U.S. Department of Energy maintains a comprehensive insulation guide for homeowners with R-value recommendations by climate zone.

Learn more about our companyIf your existing insulation is wet, compressed by pests, or more than 40 years old with no upgrades, removal is usually the right call. Adding new material over damaged insulation traps the problem and reduces the performance of both layers.
R-value measures resistance to heat flow - higher means better. Missouri's climate zone calls for R-49 to R-60 in attics, which translates to roughly 13 to 19 inches of blown-in material. Most pre-1980 homes fall well below this threshold.
Not always. Spray foam excels in crawl spaces, rim joists, and areas needing both insulation and moisture control. Blown-in fiberglass or cellulose is often the better value for attic top-ups in homes with no existing moisture issues.

Cape Girardeau is the largest city in southeast Missouri, with a population of roughly 40,000 residents spread across neighborhoods ranging from the older homes near the Mississippi River floodwall murals and downtown riverfront to the newer subdivisions on the west and south sides of the city. The city sits on bluffs and lower ground directly along the river, and a significant share of its housing stock was built before 1980 - homes that frequently need insulation upgrades to meet current performance standards.
The community is anchored by Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO), one of the city's largest employers and a landmark that orients the entire area. Neighborhoods near campus tend to have higher turnover and rental mix, while areas farther from campus - including parts of the west side - are more stable owner-occupied residential zones. Many of those homes sit on lots shaped by the city's bluff terrain, and moisture management and energy efficiency are practical concerns for homeowners across the area. Trail of Tears State Park sits just north of the city along the river, a landmark most Cape Girardeau residents know well.
Cape Girardeau's climate - hot, humid summers and cold winters with regular freeze-thaw cycles - makes insulation a year-round concern for local homeowners, not just a seasonal one. Cape Girardeau Insulation Company is based in Cape Girardeau and focused on helping homeowners here and across the region get the energy efficiency and comfort their homes should deliver. Census data shows the median home value in Cape Girardeau is in the $160,000 to $180,000 range - a market where value, reliability, and fair pricing matter as much as the quality of the work itself.
