Red Seal CertifiedWhat Insulation Services Do We Offer in Kentville?
Greenfoot provides spray foam, blown-in, batt, and soundproofing insulation for Kentville homes, covering attics, walls, basements, and crawl spaces.
Our team of experts offers a wide range of insulation services to meet your specific needs — from thermal performance to acoustic comfort.
Spray Foam Insulation
R-6 to R-7 per inch (closed-cell)
Closed-cell and open-cell spray foam provides superior air sealing and the highest R-value per inch. Creates a seamless vapor barrier that eliminates drafts and moisture intrusion.
Best for: Basements, crawl spaces, rim joists, exterior walls, and areas requiring air sealing and moisture barrier
Blown-In Insulation
R-3.2 to R-3.8 per inch
Loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass blown into attics, walls, and enclosed cavities. Fills irregular spaces and gaps that batt insulation misses, providing excellent coverage.
Best for: Attics, enclosed wall cavities, hard-to-reach spaces, and topping up existing insulation
Batt & Poly Insulation
R-3.1 to R-4.2 per inch
Traditional fiberglass or mineral wool batts with poly vapor barrier. Cost-effective for new construction and accessible renovation projects with standard stud spacing.
Best for: New construction walls, accessible attics, floor assemblies, and renovation projects with open stud bays
Soundproofing Insulation
STC 45-65 rating
Specialized acoustic insulation to reduce noise transmission between rooms, floors, and from exterior sources. Mineral wool and resilient channel systems for maximum sound control.
Best for: Shared walls, home offices, media rooms, bedrooms above living spaces, and exterior noise reduction
Why Do Kentville Homes Need Better Insulation?
Kentville's cold winters and humid summers create unique insulation challenges, and upgrading can reduce heating costs by 30 to 50% while preventing moisture damage.
The Annapolis Valley's microclimate brings colder winters than the coast with significant temperature swings. Many Valley homes built in the 1960s–1980s have inadequate insulation by today's standards. A combination of spray foam, blown-in, and batt insulation addresses every area of your home.
Kentville's Insulation Challenges
Valley cold pockets trap frigid air in winter, making under-insulated homes extremely costly to heat
Many farmhouses and older homes have original insulation that has settled or deteriorated over decades
Spring thaw moisture enters basements and crawl spaces lacking proper insulation and vapor barriers
Growing tourism traffic on Highway 1 increases noise for homes in Kentville's residential areas
How Greenfoot Insulation Helps
Spray foam seals drafty basements and rim joists in older Valley farmhouses and bungalows
Blown-in attic insulation restores R-value lost from decades of settling in older homes
Batt insulation provides cost-effective upgrades for accessible wall cavities during renovations
Soundproofing creates quiet bedrooms in homes near Highway 1 and the Kentville business district

"I ONLY WISH THEY INSTALLED OUR HEAT PUMP ORIGINALLY"
Great company to deal with. We hired them to move an existing heat pump after the original installer refused to help us. The estimator and the installer were both very polite, careful and thorough. I only wish they installed our heat pump originally. I would hire them again without hesitation.

The young chaps, Marlon Marcuflo and Sylvia Richard, were wonderful to deal with. They were extremely polite, very tidy and efficient in their work, were right on schedule and did an excellent job. When they left the house there was no mess to clean up. I would recommend Greenfoot Energy Solutions to anyone thinking of upgrading their home.
