Lumberton on the Rabbit River

Colonel Isaac Barnes ran a mill on the Rabbit River making lumber and shingles, giving the area its first name, Lumberton. The Barnes family began farming in 1837, a road linking Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo came through Chamber's Corners in 1855, and the name Wayland was adopted in 1868.

Newer homes

Houses from the 1990s and 2000s often have bonus rooms, vaulted ceilings and rim joists covered with batts. Sealing the attic and foaming the rim and kneewalls are common.

Old village and farms

The older village houses need walls and attics; farms outside town have pole barns and shops where closed-cell foam stops condensation.

Garage and bonus room comfort

Many Wayland homes from the 1990s and 2000s have bedrooms or bonus rooms over attached garages. The floor over the garage is often poorly sealed and thinly insulated, so the room runs cold in winter. Foam in that floor, plus sealing the kneewalls around the room, usually fixes it. We price it as its own line so you can decide.

Code and climate

Allegan County, including Wayland, is in Climate Zone 5A. The DOE recommends R-60 for an existing attic with little insulation, or adding R-49 on top of 3 to 4 inches. Older village homes are usually far short of that; newer subdivisions are closer but often have gaps at the edges and over garages. Rim joists in both are usually bare or covered only with a batt, and closed-cell foam fixes that in an afternoon.
