Insulation & Ventilation for Manchester homes

Manchester’s village and the surrounding rural Washtenaw County properties, many of them older farmhouses and outbuildings along the River Raisin, are well within the area we serve from Ann Arbor.

We air-seal and insulate attics and balance intake and exhaust ventilation so your roof stays cold in winter. That is the single best defense against the ice dams that damage Michigan roofs and gutters, and it is a year-round comfort and energy upgrade.

Built for Manchester weather. Open rural lots around Manchester catch wind and full snow load with little shelter. That melts attic-warmed snow into the ice dams that back water up under the shingles.

Permits handled for you. Permit requirements vary by location around Manchester. When your project needs one, we pull the permit and handle the inspection for you.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We air-seal and insulate the older farmhouse attics common around Manchester, which cuts drafts and heating costs and protects the roof from the ice dams that form on under-insulated, wind-exposed homes.

Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves. Proper air-sealing, insulation, and balanced ventilation keep the roof deck cold and even, so snow melts uniformly instead of backing up under the shingles.

Usually, yes. Air-sealing and properly insulating the attic is one of the most cost-effective efficiency upgrades for a Michigan home. It cuts the heat that escapes in winter and keeps cooled air in during summer.

Common signs are rooms that never feel comfortable, high heating and cooling bills, ice dams in winter, and visibly thin or uneven insulation. We inspect the attic and measure existing levels before recommending anything.
