Basehor's Newer Homes
Spray Foam Insulation in Basehor deals mostly with newer houses. Ephraim and Reuben Basehor founded the town in 1889 as a farming community, the same year the railroad was completed, and it incorporated in 1965. Basehor grew from 2,238 people in 2000 to 4,613 in 2010 and 6,896 in 2020, and housing units rose from 1,881 in 2010 to 2,596 in 2020.
Owners who stay
Census figures for 2020 to 2024 show a 79.9% owner-occupied rate and a $349,900 median home value. Owners planning to stay often choose a full upgrade: rim foam, attic sealing and depth, and bonus room fixes.
Newer homes still leak
Built-to-code homes still leak at rims, fixtures, attic hatches and bonus room floors. We find and seal those spots.
Finished basements
Closed-cell foam on the rim and walls before framing keeps finished basements warm.
