Spray Foam Insulation in Gretna, NE

Spray Foam Insulation in Gretna is shaped by growth. Gretna had 5,083 residents at the 2020 census and an estimated 9,071 just two years later. Gretna Public Schools covers about 70 square miles and has passed several bond issues to build new facilities. Most of the town's houses are new, and a lot of them are still going up.

New construction

For homes being built now, spray foam in the walls and either the attic floor or the roof deck can take a house well past Nebraska's code minimums of R-20 walls and R-49 ceilings, and help it pass the 3 ACH50 blower door limit with room to spare. Builders and owners usually ask us about open-cell foam in walls for its fill and sound control, and closed-cell foam on rim joists and in bonus room floors.

Homes a few years old

In newer Gretna houses, the complaints are specific: a bonus room that runs hot, a cold floor over the garage, a finished basement that never warms up. We look for the gap, which is often missing air sealing at a kneewall or rim, and fix just that.

Acreages and shops

Gretna began as a railroad town, platted in 1887 after the Burlington built its Omaha-Ashland line, and the land around it still has farms and acreages. The Elkhorn River meets the Platte a few miles southwest. Many acreage owners have a steel shop or pole barn, and closed-cell foam on the roof and walls stops condensation and makes the building usable in winter.
