Spray Foam Insulation
Huntland is a small town in Franklin County where Highway 64 and the Norfolk Southern rail line have defined the community's character for over a century. The homes here run toward the older side of the regional average, and the construction reflects the building practices of decades past: solid framing, but minimal attention to thermal envelope performance and essentially no air sealing by today's standards. The winters in Huntland can be sharp, coming off the Elk River ridge system and settling into the lower elevations along the main corridor through town. Spray foam insulation at the right locations in a Huntland home changes those utility numbers and those comfort conditions in ways that the original construction couldn't achieve. Prince Insulation has been doing exactly that work in Huntland and Franklin County since 1980.
Dewayne Hill runs the operation out of Decherd, less than ten miles from Huntland. When Huntland homeowners search for spray foam insulation near me, they're getting a crew that has been in Franklin County attics and crawlspaces for four decades. Three spray rigs, twelve full-time employees, and a family business history that predates most of the competing spray foam insulation contractors operating in the region.
Franklin County Construction and Why It Matters for Insulation
Huntland's building stock tells the story of rural Franklin County development: homes built from the 1940s through the 1980s that received whatever insulation was standard practice at the time, which was often marginal by current standards and almost always devoid of meaningful air sealing. Rim joists in these homes are typically open to the exterior. Crawlspaces under the older properties along Main Street and out toward the county line have been accumulating moisture through inadequate vapor barriers for years. Attics have original fiberglass batts, often compressed and without perimeter coverage, that deliver a fraction of their rated R-value.
These aren't unusual conditions. They're the standard starting point for insulation work in this part of Franklin County.
Featured Services
Spray Foam Insulation for Huntland Homes
Prince Insulation installs spray foam insulation in Huntland properties with a focus on the locations that produce the largest thermal performance improvement per dollar: rim joists, crawlspace perimeter walls, and attic bypass locations. Closed cell spray foam at exterior-facing and vapor-sensitive applications, open cell at interior applications. The product recommendation comes from the building assessment, not from a default package.
Crawlspace Encapsulation and Vapor Control
Huntland's Elk River adjacent properties have crawlspace moisture conditions that require a systematic response. Prince Insulation's encapsulation system addresses the ground vapor barrier, foundation vent sealing, rim joist and perimeter wall spray foam insulation, and mechanical humidity control through dehumidifiers where passive systems aren't adequate. The result is a crawlspace that stays stable through the fluctuating moisture conditions of a Tennessee year. Prince Insulation has been managing this specific problem in Franklin County since before most competing spray insulation companies existed in this area.
Fiberglass Insulation Correctly Installed
Prince Insulation's fiberglass work in Huntland and Franklin County goes back to 1980. Correctly installed fiberglass, without compression, without voids at penetrations, with full coverage to the framing perimeter, performs at its rated value. What most older Huntland homes have is something short of that. Prince Insulation either installs correctly or recommends a different product for the application.
Attic Air Sealing and Insulation
Huntland attics in older homes are consistently under-insulated and under-air-sealed. Prince Insulation's approach addresses the air sealing first: spray foam at penetrations, bypass locations, and eave perimeter areas before any blown-in coverage is added. This stops the air movement rather than just covering it. Blown-in coverage over the sealed substrate brings the R-value to current recommendations.
Why Huntland Homeowners Have Trusted Prince Insulation
The short answer is that Prince Insulation has been here continuously since 1980. That kind of regional tenure means the crew knows Franklin County construction, the soil and moisture conditions, and the specific failure modes that appear in Huntland properties. It also means that the workmanship guarantee offered on every project is backed by a business that has been operating and accountable in this area for over four decades.
Every installer on a Huntland project is a full-time Prince Insulation employee. No subcontractors. The same crew that works Huntland jobs works the rest of Franklin County. They know what they're doing because they've been doing it in these specific conditions for years.
The spray foam installers on Prince Insulation projects work with equipment that is maintained to manufacturer specification to prevent the off-ratio mixing problems that produce foam that looks correct and performs below spec. That's a detail that matters and one that's impossible to verify from the outside after installation.
Key Benefits
Huntland homeowners who address the primary insulation and air sealing deficiencies in their homes through spray foam insulation see the results in utility costs within the first full season after installation. Rim joist air sealing stops the cold infiltration that makes perimeter rooms and lower floors uncomfortable in winter. Crawlspace encapsulation stops the moisture progression that degrades floor framing in older Franklin County homes. Attic air sealing and insulation upgrades reduce the cooling load through summers that run long in Middle Tennessee. Sprayable foam insulation in Huntland properties produces real results when the installation is done by an experienced regional operator.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Prince Insulation been serving Huntland?
Prince Insulation has served Huntland and Franklin County since 1980, when Dewayne Hill's father-in-law founded the business. Dewayne took over in 2008 and expanded spray foam capability in 2010. The business is based in Decherd, less than ten miles from Huntland, and Franklin County is the company's home territory.
What spray foam insulation is best for an older Huntland home?
For most older Huntland homes, the highest-priority applications are rim joist spray foam with closed cell product and crawlspace perimeter wall insulation if the home has a vented crawlspace. These locations account for the largest share of air infiltration and heat loss in older Franklin County construction. An attic air sealing and insulation upgrade is typically the second priority.
