In Preston, ID, where winter temperatures can plummet, and summers bring intense heat, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment is a necessity, not a luxury. High Country Solutions brings top-tier insulation technology to Franklin County, helping homeowners, farmers, and business owners slash energy waste. Whether you are retrofitting a historic farmhouse near Oneida Street or insulating a new agricultural facility, our approach creates a seamless thermal envelope. We specialize in reducing HVAC load and preventing moisture intrusion for the local community.
Effective insulation goes beyond simple temperature control; it is about creating a durable barrier against moisture, allergens, and structural degradation. In the unique climate of Southeastern Idaho, standard insulation often settles or fails to seal air leaks effectively. Our team utilizes advanced application techniques to ensure every nook, cranny, and crawl space is sealed. By upgrading your property with high-performance materials, you not only improve immediate comfort but also invest in the long-term structural integrity and resale value of your real estate asset.
Choosing High Country Solutions means partnering with a team that values integrity and results. We don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" fixes. Instead, we treat your building as a system, ensuring that insulation, ventilation, and waterproofing work in harmony. Our commitment to using low-VOC materials and state-of-the-art equipment provides a safe installation process and immediate energy savings. When you need a contractor who shows up on time, respects your property, and delivers measurable results, High Country Solutions is the answer.

We recently assisted a local agricultural producer in Preston who was struggling with "sweating" metal ceilings in a large equipment shed. During the winter, condensation was dripping onto expensive machinery, causing rust and freezing hazards. High Country Solutions applied 2 inches of closed-cell spray foam to the interior roofline. This application created a vapor barrier that immediately eliminated condensation and added structural rigidity to the building against snow loads. The client reported a dry interior and a significantly warmer workspace within 24 hours of application.
Spray foam offers superior performance because it acts as both an insulator and an air seal. In our cold climate, fiberglass can allow air to pass through, reducing its effectiveness. Spray foam expands to fill gaps, preventing drafts common during windy Idaho winters.
Yes, closed-cell foam is the standard for farming buildings. It is rigid, high-density, and moisture-resistant. It reinforces the metal structure and acts as a vapor barrier, helping prevent condensation drips in barns and storage sheds.
Absolutely. We use a technique called "drill and fill," or dense-pack cellulose injection. We drill small holes (usually from the exterior or interior), inject the insulation under pressure to fill the cavity, and then patch the holes, leaving the wall intact.
Open-cell foam is lighter, more flexible, and offers some breathability, making it great for interior sound damping. Closed-cell foam is dense, waterproof, and provides a higher R-value per inch, making it ideal for basements, exteriors, and thin walls.
Most residential projects, such as an attic or crawl space retrofit, can be completed in one day. Larger commercial projects or whole-home new construction may take 2-3 days, depending on the square footage and the structure's complexity.
Yes, insulation significantly reduces noise transmission. Open-cell foam is particularly effective at absorbing sound waves, making it a popular choice for media rooms, bedrooms, and offices to reduce traffic noise or sound between rooms.
Once the spray foam has cured (typically within 24 to 48 hours), it is inert and safe. We recommend that residents and pets leave the home during the application and curing process to avoid exposure to fumes. We use modern formulas designed for safety and low off-gassing.
In most cases, yes. To ensure the spray foam adheres properly to the substrate (studs and sheathing) and creates a perfect seal, we usually vacuum out old, dirty fiberglass or cellulose. This also allows us to inspect for mold or wiring issues before insulating.
Our concrete waterproofing solutions involve penetrating sealers or elastomeric coatings that bond to the concrete. This prevents water from seeping through capillaries in the slab or foundation walls, effectively stopping leaks and reducing humidity in basements.
Spray foam insulation is a permanent solution. Unlike fiberglass, which can sag or settle over time, spray foam maintains its shape and R-value indefinitely, meaning you likely won't need to replace it for the life of the building.
