J&K Carson City Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor working in Dayton, NV. We seal attics, top up thin insulation, insulate crawl spaces and walls, and use spray foam where it's worth the cost.
Dayton sits just east of us in Carson City, and the houses here cover a lot of ground. The older homes near the old town and the Carson River were mostly built when nobody worried much about the power bill, so their attics tend to have a few inches of tired insulation, if that. Out across the valley, the newer subdivisions started with more up there, but we still find the room over the garage running hot in summer and gaps nobody sealed at the hatch. Mixed in are manufactured homes and houses on bigger lots with crawl spaces, where cold floors are the usual complaint.
The weather pushes on all of it. Summer heat bakes the attic, winter nights get cold, and the valley wind drives fine dust into every gap, so before we add an inch of anything, we look at what's already up there and what the wind has been doing to it.
Spray foam seals and insulates in one pass. We plan it where ducts run through the attic or the room over the garage never warms up.
Explore serviceHot upstairs every July? We measure the inches already up there, check what shape they're in, then seal and add depth evenly out to the eaves.
Explore serviceBlown-in insulation is loose fill sent through a hose, so it settles around joists and wiring where batts leave gaps. Depth and clear vents shape the plan.
Explore serviceWhen the whole house feels drafty, we look at the attic, walls and crawl space together and fix them in the order that makes the biggest difference first.
Explore serviceOld insulation that's been soaked or is full of droppings comes out before anything new goes in. We vacuum it out, clean the attic floor and start fresh.
Explore serviceCold floors usually start below them. We insulate under the floor or along the crawl space walls, depending on how it's vented and where the pipes run.
Explore serviceFor finished walls, we drill small holes, fill each cavity and plug the holes. It's how we warm up an older house without tearing out drywall.
Explore serviceDrafty rooms often trace back to gaps where the house meets the foundation, around plumbing and behind outlets. We find and close those leaks room by room.
Explore serviceIf you have a basement, we insulate the foundation walls and the band of framing on top, choosing a material that handles the moisture concrete gives off.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam is dense and blocks moisture as well as air. We use it where water is a worry, like crawl space walls and metal buildings.
Explore serviceOpen-cell foam is softer and lighter and fills odd-shaped rafter bays well. We use it under rooflines and in walls where you want quiet as well as warmth.
Explore serviceShops, offices and rental units get the same walk-through a house does. We schedule around your hours and tenants so the crew stays out of the way.
Explore serviceA heavy plastic sheet over the crawl space dirt keeps ground moisture out of the floor framing. We tape the seams and run it up the walls.
Explore serviceWhether a wall or ceiling needs a vapor barrier, and on which side, depends on how it's built. We work that out before we hang any plastic.
Explore serviceBefore adding insulation, we seal the gaps around can lights, pipes, wiring holes and the hatch, so warm air stops leaking into the attic.
Explore serviceWant an older house warmer without remodeling? We add insulation where it's missing, working through the hatch, the crawl space or small holes instead of opening walls.
Explore serviceDayton is in Lyon County, so permits here come from the Lyon County Building Department, which generally issues them for new construction, repair and remodeling on residential lots. The rules aren't the same as in Carson City, so I check with the county for your address, and if your job needs a permit, we take care of the paperwork and set the start date around the county's review. We're fully licensed and insured.
Highway 50 makes Dayton a short run from Carson City, and the same installers who work Johnson Lane and the rest of our area work here. What moves the price is the size of the attic or crawl space, how many inches are already up there and whether they can stay, how much sealing the house needs, and whether foam or loose fill makes sense. The schedule mostly turns on whether a permit is needed and how much old material has to come out first, and at the estimate I go over what I found with you so you have your own price before you decide.
Got a cold room, a hot upstairs or a power bill that keeps climbing? Send the form or call (775) 227-5588 and we'll get back to you within one business day, and most of the time it's me calling. I come out, look at the attic, crawl space or walls with you, and go over what I found before you decide anything, with no charge and no obligation.
(775) 227-5588The county needs written authorization from the property owner, either your signature on the application or a separate signed authorization. A non-refundable plan review deposit goes in with the application too, which is why the county suggests calling first. If your insulation job needs a permit, we put the application together, and your part is usually just the signature.
The county's building department currently lists estimated review times of 3 to 5 weeks. That's the county's review, not our time in your attic, so when a permit is needed, we set the start date once it's approved.
For air sealing and blown-in insulation, you can usually stay home, since the work happens up in the attic. Spray foam is different. You, the kids and the pets stay out until the foam maker's re-entry time, the wait before it's safe to come back inside, has passed, and I'll tell you that time at the estimate.
We're based in Carson City and work across the cities around it, from Reno and Sparks down to Gardnerville and up to Incline Village, plus plenty of places in between. If your city isn't listed, give us a call anyway.
We answer the phone seven days a week until 9 PM, so call (775) 227-5588 or send the form whenever it suits you, before any work gets started.
If you're not sure your house needs anything at all, I'm happy to come take a look and tell you straight.
