Lake Michigan Cottages and Rural Homes
Spray Foam Insulation in Laketown Township covers a mix of summer cottages along Lake Michigan and year-round homes on the rural land behind them. The township, in Allegan County just south of Holland, had 5,928 residents at the 2020 census, up 7.7% from 5,505 in 2010.
Castle Park
Castle Park is an unincorporated community of roughly 100 cottages and summer houses along Lake Michigan. Its post office ran from 1903 to 1953, and the brick, turreted castle-style house built in 1890 for Michael Schwarz now serves as its community center. Cottages like these were built for warm months, often with uninsulated walls, open crawl spaces or piers and attics that were never sealed.
Macatawa and Graafschap
The township shares the community of Macatawa on Lake Macatawa with Park Township, where many early resort buildings were destroyed by fires, and the small community of Graafschap with Fillmore Township. Graafschap and the inland parts of the township have more year-round houses and farm buildings.
What we usually recommend
For cottages, the floor and crawl space come first, then the attic. For year-round homes, it is the usual sequence: seal and insulate the attic, foam the rim joist, then fill the walls if they are empty. Pole barns and garages on rural lots can take closed-cell foam on the steel to stop condensation.
Rural lots and outbuildings
Away from the shore, Laketown is mostly rural, with houses set on larger lots along with detached garages, shops and pole barns. A steel building that drips in cold weather, or a garage someone wants to heat for a workshop, is a good candidate for closed-cell foam on the roof and walls. We ask how you use the building and size the foam to that, since a storage barn that only needs to stay dry needs far less than a heated shop.

Laketown Township Questions
Can you make a Castle Park-style cottage usable in winter?
Often, yes. Sealing the floor or crawl space, foaming the rim, and sealing and insulating the attic make the biggest difference. Walls can be filled with dense-pack if they are closed.
Do you insulate pole barns in Laketown?
Yes. Closed-cell foam on steel stops condensation and insulates the building.
Can spray foam be done while the cottage is closed for the season?
Yes, as long as we can heat the space enough for the foam to go on properly. Many owners prefer it then.
Is there a rebate for insulation here?
If Consumers Energy serves you, its chart lists insulation rebates for attics, walls, basement walls, crawl spaces and rim joists.
