Common Misconceptions About Insulation
Misinformation can make homeowners hesitant about insulating their historic homes. At Greenshield Insulation, we aim to provide clarity by sharing facts. With over 50 years combined experience in SW Michigan, you can trust our expert opinions.
Kalamazoo’s historic homes, from Queen Anne Victorians to Craftsman bungalows, are treasures—but they’re often drafty and uninsulated (per web:0). At Greenshield Insulation, a Mattawan-based, family-owned contractor with an A+ BBB rating, we specialize in insulating older homes in Kalamazoo, Portage, and Allegan County without compromising their character. Here’s how we do it.
Homes built before 1940, common in Kalamazoo’s Stuart Neighborhood, rarely have wall or attic insulation (per web:0). This leads to high energy bills and cold winters. Our client, a Mattawan couple with an 1895 Victorian, faced this issue until we intervened (per web:5).
Our Non-Invasive Approach Drilling from the exterior through original siding sounds risky, but Greenshield’s method is precise. We:
• Drill small holes, fill walls with eco-friendly cellulose or spray foam, and seal with wooden plugs (per web:5).
• Preserve interior plaster, like the cove in our Mattawan project.
• Ensure minimal visual impact—plugs are nearly invisible after painting.
Boost Comfort and Save Money
Our blown-in cellulose attic insulation meets Michigan’s R-38 code, cutting heating costs by up to 30% (per web:3). Pair it with a Consumers Energy rebate ($50–$400, per April 17, 2025), and your Kalamazoo home stays cozy affordably. paperwork and provide free estimates.
