Taylor's Housing and Insulation Needs
Taylor Borough developed during the anthracite era and has a housing stock typical of Lackawanna County's coal-region communities — pre-1960 single-family homes, twins, and row homes built before modern energy codes required insulation. The borough's compact, walkable layout means homes are close together and relatively consistent in their construction vintage and insulation profile.
The most common scenarios in Taylor: attics at R-0 to R-11, completely uninsulated rim joists at the foundation, and crawlspace or basement areas with degraded or absent insulation. Taylor's position in the lower Lackawanna Valley means cold air drainage on winter nights that compounds these heat loss areas — making effective insulation both more impactful and faster to pay back than in more sheltered locations.
Our Insulation Services in Taylor
Spray Foam Insulation — Taylor
Closed-cell spray foam for Taylor rim joists and crawlspace walls. At the foundation level, spray foam addresses the air infiltration and moisture issues that drive cold floors in Taylor's older homes — eliminating the most significant heat loss pathway in a single application.
Cellulose Insulation — Taylor
Blown cellulose to bring Taylor attics to R-49. Most homes in the borough are significantly below this threshold. Blown installation completes in a day, with no interior disruption to the living space below.
Retrofit Spray Foam — Taylor
One-day targeted retrofit for Taylor's rim joists and crawlspace walls. The single highest-return first improvement for most Taylor homeowners in older properties — significant heat loss addressed without any interior access.
Blower Door Testing — Taylor
Air infiltration testing to direct retrofit investment. Taylor's pre-1960 housing stock consistently shows high infiltration — testing first ensures insulation dollars go to the right locations.
Fiberglass Insulation — Taylor
Fiberglass batt installation for Taylor renovation projects and new construction in surrounding areas. Code-compliant, properly installed, and documented for permit inspections.
