Seals every gap and crack while insulating - spray foam fills irregular shapes that batts and blown-in materials simply cannot reach.

Heat rises, and a thin attic lets it escape all winter. Proper attic insulation keeps warmth where you need it and cuts your heating bill.

Loose-fill material blown into your attic fills corners and irregular spaces that rigid batts miss, creating an even thermal blanket.

From attic to basement, whole-home insulation means every room stays comfortable - not just the ones near the furnace vents.
Learn More
Old, damaged, or pest-contaminated insulation has to go before new work can perform. We remove it cleanly and dispose of it properly.
Learn More
A cold, damp crawl space pulls heat out of your floors and raises humidity throughout the house. Proper insulation fixes both problems.
Learn More
Exterior walls without insulation are invisible heat-loss zones. Wall insulation makes every room easier to heat and quieter too.
Learn More
Insulation slows heat but air sealing stops it from bypassing your insulation entirely through gaps around pipes, wires, and framing.

Uninsulated basement walls and rim joists are among the biggest heat-loss areas in older Minnesota homes - and one of the easiest to fix.

Dense, rigid closed-cell foam delivers the highest R-value per inch and doubles as a moisture barrier for basements and crawl spaces.
Learn More
Softer and more flexible, open-cell foam is ideal for interior walls and attics where you want coverage without the rigid density.
Learn More
Warehouses, offices, and commercial buildings lose heat through the same gaps as homes - we insulate commercial properties right.
Learn More
A vapor barrier in your crawl space stops ground moisture from rising into your subfloor, protecting wood framing and air quality.
Learn More
Moisture in walls and crawl spaces leads to mold and rot. A properly installed vapor barrier keeps that moisture out for good.
Learn More
Sealing the air gaps in your attic floor stops warm air from escaping into the attic - the root cause of ice dams and heat loss.

"They came out, measured everything, and gave me a written quote the same day. The crew finished our attic in one afternoon and the heating bill dropped noticeably that first winter. No surprises, no nonsense."
Mike T., Austin - Attic insulation
"We had ice dams every year on the north side of the house. After they sealed the attic and added blown-in insulation, we went through the whole winter without a single one. That alone was worth every dollar."
Karen R., Albert Lea - Blown-in insulation
"Our crawl space was damp every spring. They insulated the walls and installed a vapor barrier, and the basement air quality is completely different now. I wish we had done it years ago."
Dave S., Owatonna - Crawl space insulation

Austin sits in Climate Zone 6, one of the coldest residential zones in the continental U.S. Homes here need significantly more insulation than homes in warmer states - and most older Austin homes fall well short of what is recommended.
Ice dams form when heat escaping through your attic melts roof snow, which refreezes at the cold eaves. Proper attic insulation and air sealing keep attic temperatures even, stopping the melt-refreeze cycle before it starts. The University of Minnesota Extension has a detailed guide on ice dam prevention.
Most homes built before 1980 were insulated to standards far below what is needed for a Minnesota winter. The gap between what is there and what is recommended often translates directly to hundreds of dollars in wasted heating costs every year.
Mower County's spring thaw pushes moisture through the soil, and crawl spaces in older homes are often the first place it shows up. Without insulation and a vapor barrier, that moisture can cause mold, wood rot, and poor air quality throughout the home.
Insulation slows heat movement. Air sealing stops air from bypassing insulation entirely through gaps around pipes, wires, and framing. Doing one without the other leaves a significant portion of your energy savings on the table.
Federal tax credits currently cover up to 30% of qualifying insulation material costs for existing homes. Minnesota utilities also offer rebates for energy efficiency upgrades. Learn more at ENERGY STAR, which tracks available federal credits by year.

Older homes in Austin were built with far less insulation than today's standards require. Adding blown-in or spray foam insulation is one of the highest-return upgrades available for these homes - the energy savings often pay back the investment within a few years.
Insulation slows heat movement through surfaces, but air leaks bypass it entirely. A home with good insulation and no air sealing still loses significant heat through gaps around pipes, wires, and light fixtures. The Department of Energy recommends doing both together.
A reputable contractor installs depth markers in attics so you can verify coverage after the job. For spray foam and crawl space work, a walkthrough before the crew leaves is standard practice. Keep your paperwork - it documents what was installed and when.
The U.S. Department of Energy Insulation guide explains recommended insulation levels by climate zone - a useful starting point before your first contractor conversation. Call (507) 509-6204 to schedule your free on-site assessment.
Austin is a city of about 26,000 people in Mower County in southern Minnesota, roughly 100 miles south of the Twin Cities. It is best known as the home of Hormel Foods, which has been headquartered here since 1891 and is the reason Austin exists as the city it is today. The SPAM Museum on Main Street draws visitors from across the country. Austin is a working-class city with strong homeownership rates - most people here own their homes and plan to stay in them.
The housing stock reflects the city's age. A large share of Austin's homes were built before 1970, many in the early to mid-1900s. These older wood-frame homes were constructed before modern insulation standards existed, and many have never had meaningful insulation upgrades. The Cedar River runs through town, and low-lying neighborhoods near its banks can deal with wet basements and crawl space moisture every spring when snowmelt and rain raise the water table. The Jay C. Hormel Nature Center on the east side of Austin is a 300-acre park that gives residents a sense of how much open space still surrounds this small city.
Premier Austin Insulation works in Austin neighborhoods and the surrounding area every week. Whether your home is near the Cedar River, in one of the older established neighborhoods downtown, or on the edges of the city, we know the kind of homes here - the older framing, the tight crawl spaces, and the attics that have been losing heat through Minnesota winters for decades. If you own a home in Austin, we can help you make it tighter, warmer, and less expensive to heat.
