Mill town

Spring Grove was incorporated as a borough in 1882. Its growth since 1865 has followed the Glatfelter paper mill, which has changed owners in recent years and is now run by Pixelle Specialty Solutions.

Older homes

Mill-era houses need dense-pack walls, sealed attics and foamed rims. Newer homes from the 1990s and 2000s need air sealing and bonus room work.

Code target

Pennsylvania's code lists R-49 for Zone 4 ceilings, and the R-20 wall target is reachable in a 2x4 wall only with foam or exterior insulation.

What we check

We look at the attic depth and the gaps around the chimney and plumbing, check the basement rim and foundation for moisture, and check whether the walls have anything in them. Older mill-era homes often have balloon framing, where wall cavities run from the basement to the attic; those get blocked at the top and bottom before walls are filled. In newer homes, we focus on bonus rooms, knee walls, recessed lights and the attic hatch. Every area is listed separately on the written quote.

Small borough, quick jobs

Spring Grove covers less than a square mile, and many homes are modest in size. That makes attic sealing, rim foam and dense-pack walls quick jobs, often done in a day or two. Many foam installers carry a minimum charge, which HomeGuide puts at $1,000 to $2,000 or more, so combining the rim joist with attic work on one visit usually gives the best value. We list each area separately so you can see what each costs.
