What the buildings here are like.
Shirley is one of 6 towns we cover in Hancock County, and half of its 409 homes were standing before 1956. That is the era we do most of our retrofit work in, and it is why we usually start with the attic and the crawlspace.
Population and housing figures: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey ACS 2024 5-year. Hancock County is in climate zone 5, the colder of the two zones Indiana spans.

Old houses, and a lot of them.
46.0% of Shirley's homes were built before 1950 — 188 of roughly 409. Houses that old were framed before anyone was sealing them: the attic is usually vented with batts thrown over the joists, and the crawlspace is open to the outside. Foam in those two places is the change people feel first.
What is around Shirley.
From Shirley, Knightstown is 7.1 miles south, New Castle is 11.3 miles east, Middletown is 11.8 miles north. New Castle is the larger of them at 17,367 people against Shirley's 1,022. We cover all of them, so if we are quoting your building we are often already working nearby that week — it is worth asking when you call.
A small town, and we quote it like one.
Shirley has about 1,022 people and 409 homes. In a town this size the work is word of mouth: we do one building, the neighbour sees the trailer, and we end up doing three that week. Ask us who else we have worked for nearby and we will tell you.
The oldest housing stock in Hancock County.
Of the 6 towns we cover in Hancock County, Shirley has the oldest housing: the middle of it dates to 1956, against 2009 in McCordsville. Older stock is where foam makes the biggest difference, and where we find the most that was never sealed at all.
Owners, not landlords.
83.5% of homes in Shirley are owner-occupied. People who intend to stay tend to weigh a foam job against twenty more winters in the building rather than against next year's rent roll, and that usually changes which option makes sense.

Questions about Shirley.

My Shirley house is old. Does foam still work?
It usually works better. 46.0% of homes here pre-date 1950, and buildings from that era were never sealed, so there is more to gain. We do have to look first: knob-and-tube wiring, an old roof leak or existing insulation that needs to come out all change the job. That is what the visit is for.
What does spray foam cost in Shirley?
It depends on the building, the foam and the thickness, so we quote every job rather than publish a price. Our minimum job is $2,000. Tell us about the building and we'll come out and measure.
Which foam is right for a Shirley building?
Hancock County is in climate zone 5, the colder of the two zones Indiana spans. Open cell (R-3.8 to 4.2 per inch) is the usual choice for attics and interior walls. Closed cell (R-7.6 to 8.1 per inch) goes where moisture matters, like crawlspaces, rim joists and metal buildings. We tell you which one the building needs when we quote it.
