A Village on Spring Lake
Spray Foam Insulation in Fruitport covers both the small village and the township around it. Fruitport was founded by Edward L. Craw in 1868 as Crawville and renamed a year later when the Pere Marquette Railroad built a station; the town sat in a fruit-growing area and at the head of Spring Lake, which connects to Lake Michigan through the Grand River at Grand Haven. It was incorporated as a village in 1891.
Village and township homes
Homes in the village are older and closer together; out in Fruitport Charter Township, newer homes sit on larger lots with attached garages and pole buildings. Muskegon is about 10 miles northwest and Grand Haven about 8 miles southwest.
Pole barns and garages
Township lots often have steel pole buildings for vehicles, boats and workshops. Closed-cell foam on the steel stops condensation and lets the building hold heat.
Lake houses
Homes on Spring Lake face wind and moisture off the water. Walk-out basements and rooms over garages are common, and closed-cell foam handles most of those spaces well.
The village question
Village voters have considered dissolving the village several times since 1979, most recently in 2005, when the proposal fell short of the two-thirds majority it needed. Whichever local government issues your permits, we describe the work so you can check what applies.
Basements in the township
Newer township homes often have unfinished basements with fiberglass blankets on the upper walls or nothing at all. If you plan to finish the space, closed-cell foam on the walls and rim joist first gives you a warmer, drier room and keeps the framing off cold concrete.
