Dorr Centre

The first settler arrived in 1856 and the town was platted in 1869. First known as Dorr Centre, it is believed to be named for Thomas Wilson Dorr, leader of the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island. Nearby Moline was settled in 1840 and platted in 1872.

Homes on bigger lots

Houses here sit on larger lots with attached and detached garages and pole barns. Rim joist foam and attic sealing are the most common house jobs; shops and barns get closed-cell foam.

Shops and pole barns

Almost every rural lot around Dorr has a pole barn, garage or shop. When an owner wants to heat it, the steel needs insulating or it will drip and waste heat. Closed-cell foam on the walls and under the roof panels does both jobs. We measure the building and quote the thickness that matches how warm you want to keep it.

Code and climate

Dorr is in Allegan County's Climate Zone 5A. Michigan's code table lists R-38 for ceilings and R-10 continuous or R-13 cavity for basement walls. For existing homes, the DOE recommends R-49 to R-60 in the attic. Many Dorr homes have code-level attic insulation but leaky rim joists and attic hatches, so sealing those is often the best first step. Attached garages with bedrooms above them also need their shared walls and ceilings sealed, which keeps cold air and fumes out of the house. During the visit we look at the house and any outbuildings you want heated, and write up each one separately with the material, thickness and price.
