From Dairy Farms to Commuter Homes
Spray Foam Insulation in Stonewall covers homes and farm buildings in northern DeSoto Parish, about 19 miles south of Shreveport on U.S. 171. Stonewall grew up as a farming town: cotton first, then dairying from 1886, with 37 dairies operating by 1943. It stayed agricultural until the 1960s, when it became a bedroom community for Shreveport. The population has kept climbing, from 1,175 in 1980 to 1,814 in 2010 and 2,273 in 2020.
A mix of house ages
The 2020 census counted 963 housing units in Stonewall, 8.5% vacant. Growth since the 1960s means many homes are from the last few decades, alongside older farmhouses on bigger tracts. The newer homes usually need attic sealing and help with ducts in a hot attic. The older ones may have little in the walls, raised floors with damp crawl spaces, and attic insulation that has settled to a few inches.
Barns and shops
The farming history shows in the outbuildings. Metal barns, equipment sheds and shops are everywhere on the larger lots, and they bake in summer and sweat on cool, humid mornings. Closed-cell foam, at around R-5 to R-7 per inch, insulates the steel and keeps humid air off it, which ends the drip. For a shop you want to air condition, we quote the thickness needed to make that practical.
Targets
DeSoto Parish falls under the same statewide Climate Zone 2 energy code as Shreveport. For existing homes, the Department of Energy suggests R-49 to R-60 in an empty attic and about R-13 for an uninsulated floor over a crawl space.

Stonewall Questions
Can you insulate a barn with spray foam?
Yes. Closed-cell foam on steel walls and roofs is common for barns and equipment sheds. The building has to be cleared of animals, feed and equipment while we spray and while it cures.
Do you come out to Stonewall?
Yes, Stonewall and the rest of northern DeSoto Parish are part of our regular area.
What about an older farmhouse with no wall insulation?
Dense-pack blown-in can fill closed walls through small holes, and the attic and crawl space can be sealed and insulated at the same time.
Is it worth insulating a shop I only use on weekends?
If the steel drips or the heat makes the shop unusable, foam fixes both, and you can choose a thinner coat for drip control only. We quote by thickness so you can pick.
