Farm Country Between the Cities
Spray Foam Insulation in Climax is mostly about farmhouses, village homes and the barns and shops that come with them. Climax sits in Kalamazoo County southwest of Battle Creek. The Eldred family found a prairie here in 1834 after months of searching for farmland, wider settlement began in 1838, and Climax was incorporated as a village in 1899.
A first in Michigan
On December 3, 1896, Climax and the area around it became the first community in Michigan to get free rural mail delivery from the U.S. Post Office. That fits a place that has always been about the farms around it.
Village size
The village had 712 residents at the 2020 census, down 7.2% from 767 in 2010, and 303 housing units in 2010. Most homes are older, with some newer houses on surrounding land.
Barns and machine sheds
Farms around Climax have steel and wood outbuildings that drip condensation in cold weather. Closed-cell foam on the steel stops it and turns a cold shed into a usable shop.
Older homes
Farmhouses and village homes often need attic sealing and depth, closed-cell foam on the rim and dense-pack in the walls.
Homes and outbuildings together
On a farm, we can often do the house and the barn on the same visit, which saves a trip. We price each separately so you can choose, and we tell you which jobs need the space empty for foam to cure and which, like blown-in attic work, do not.
