A Railroad Stop Turned Home Base
Spray Foam Insulation in Schriever serves a community named for John George Schriever, a railroad official, when the New Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western line opened toward Houma in the 1870s. Schriever is a census-designated place of 14.4 square miles, with 6,711 residents in 2020, sitting between Houma and Thibodaux in Terrebonne Parish.
Spread-out homes
Schriever has more room than the cities on either side, and many homes sit on larger lots with a detached shop or metal building. That gives two kinds of jobs. In the house: attic sealing and insulation, foam under raised floors, and walls during renovations. In the shop: closed-cell foam on steel to cut heat and stop condensation.
Metal shops
A steel building in this climate drips on humid mornings when warm air hits the cooled metal. Closed-cell foam bonds to the panels and keeps that air away from the steel. For a shop that is used as a workspace, more depth makes it bearable in July.
Code targets
Louisiana's code summary lists R-38 ceilings and R-13 walls in climate zone 2. For existing attics, the Department of Energy suggests R-49 to R-60 if there is nothing there now.
Moisture first
Lower ground near the bayou can mean damp conditions under raised homes. We check for standing water and wet framing before spraying anything under a floor.
Typical Schriever plan
For a house on a bigger lot with a shop out back, we usually write the quote in three parts: attic sealing and blown-in to the DOE target, closed-cell foam under the floor if the house is raised, and foam on the shop roof and walls. Each part has its own price, so you can do the house first and the shop later, or the other way around.
