Spray Foam Insulation in Highland City, FL

Spray Foam Insulation in Highland City serves a community that began as the only stop on the 1885 rail line between Lakeland and Bartow. The stop was first called Haskell, after early railroad investors, and the community was briefly incorporated as Highlands City in 1925. Before that, the U.S. Army built Fort Fraser here in 1837. Today the Fort Fraser Trail runs 7.75 miles from Polk State College south to Bartow.

Homes

The 2020 census counted 12,355 residents and 4,727 housing units, just 5.9% vacant. That makes Highland City a mostly owner-occupied suburban community. Many homes are newer, with ducts and air handlers in the attic. Duct sealing and attic insulation, or roof-deck foam, are the most effective upgrades. Older homes need attic sealing and blown-in first.

Code targets

Polk County is in climate zone 2A. Florida's 8th Edition energy code lists R-38 for ceilings. The Department of Energy suggests R-49 to R-60 for an empty attic in zone 2, or adding R-38 to R-49 over 3 to 4 inches.

Utility programs

If your electric service is from Lakeland Electric, its $300 attic rebate applies when the attic starts at R-19 or less and finishes at R-30 or more, after a pre-inspection.

Planning

Each area is priced separately so you can choose the order of work.
