Small Town, Farm Buildings, Old Houses
Spray Foam Insulation in Fennville covers in-town houses and the farmhouses, barns and shops around them. Fennville sits on M-89 about 13 miles south of Holland and 11 miles southeast of Saugatuck. A road reached the area in 1837 and a sawmill followed in 1860; a fire destroyed the town in 1871, and it was rebuilt after the railroad arrived. It became a village in 1889 and a city in 1961.
A growing town
Fennville grew 24.8% between 2010 and 2020, to 1,745 residents. The 2020 census counted 642 housing units, 7.8% of them vacant. Much of the housing is older, with some newer homes on the edges.
Wine and fruit country
The Fennville American Viticultural Area was recognized in 1981, based on glacial sandy soils and a climate moderated by Lake Michigan. Farms here once shipped fruit and mint by rail and grew grapes for juice, jelly and wine. That means pole barns, packing sheds and shops, many of them steel buildings that drip condensation in cold weather. Closed-cell foam on the steel stops that and insulates the building.
Older homes
In-town houses often have the problems we see across the region: thin attic insulation, bare rim joists and walls that were never filled. Farmhouses add stone or block foundations and additions built at different times, each with its own leaks.
Fruit packing and storage spaces
Farm buildings used for storing fruit or equipment often need to stay above freezing without being heated like a house. A moderate layer of closed-cell foam on the walls and roof, with doors and eaves sealed, can hold temperature far better than bare steel. We talk through what you store and how warm it needs to stay before we price the job.

Fennville Questions
Can you stop condensation in a steel pole barn?
Yes. Closed-cell foam on the steel keeps warm, damp air off the cold metal, which is what causes dripping.
Do you insulate farmhouses?
Yes. We seal and insulate the attic, foam the rim on stone or block foundations, and fill closed walls with dense-pack cellulose.
How thick should foam be in a heated shop?
Thicker than in a storage building. We size it to how you will use and heat the building and write the depth on the estimate.
Do you come out to Fennville for small jobs?
Yes. Most foam jobs have a minimum (HomeGuide puts it at $1,000 to $2,000 or more), and we tell you up front if yours falls under it.
