Spray Foam Insulation in Whitehall, MI

Spray Foam Insulation in Whitehall works with homes in a former lumber town on White Lake, the mouth of the White River, about 5 miles inland from Lake Michigan. Lumber baron Charles Mears platted the village around 1859 and named it Mears; it was renamed Whitehall in 1862, incorporated as a village in 1867 and became a city in 1943.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 2,909 residents and 1,378 housing units in Whitehall, 7.4% vacant. The median age was 46.0, and a quarter of residents were 65 or older. Many homes are older village houses near downtown; others are lake homes along White Lake.

Older homes

Lumber-era and early 20th century homes here often have balloon framing, basements with bare rim joists, and attics that have been added to only once. Foam at the rim, blocked and dense-packed walls, and a sealed, deep attic are the usual plan.

Lake homes

Homes on White Lake are often seasonal or partly used in winter. If a house will be heated year round, closing up the basement or crawl space and sealing vaulted ceilings come first.

Shared with Montague

Whitehall and Montague sit on either side of where the White River enters White Lake, and we cover both on the same trips north.

Downtown and the side streets

Older homes along Whitehall's downtown blocks and side streets were built close together, often with additions on the back. Additions may sit on crawl spaces or slabs while the main house has a basement, so we look at every foundation type in the house and price each one.
