Spray foam insulation in Upper Arlington
What Upper Arlington homes mean for spray foam insulation
Upper Arlington's housing stock is dominated by 1920s through 1950s bungalows, capes, and Tudor Revival homes with lath and plaster walls and largely empty or minimal wall cavities. Mature landscaping and an established tree canopy across most of the suburb's older sections limit exterior equipment staging, which favors a drill-and-fill approach that works through small access holes rather than a full exterior retrofit. Attic and rim-joist packages remain the most requested add-on alongside the wall work.
Upper Arlington's eastern border runs along the Olentangy River, separating it from Clintonville and the Ohio State University campus across the water.
