Insulation & Air Sealing in McMinnville, OR

Insulation without air sealing is like wearing a warm coat full of holes. McMinnville’s housing stock spans more than a century and a half, from homes near the historic downtown core to newer construction on the city’s edges, which means a wide range of building envelopes and a wide range of potential problem spots. A house can look well maintained on the outside while still losing a lot of heat through gaps that were never sealed in the first place.

What that means day to day: rooms that never quite match the thermostat, drafts around older windows and doors, and a heating system working harder than it should. Adding insulation without addressing air sealing underneath it rarely solves the problem on its own. We treat the two as one job because that’s how building science works.
