Mid-Century Glass and 1970s Ranches

Spray Foam Insulation in Sarasota deals with a housing stock full of character and full of heat gain. ACS figures via Point2Homes give Sarasota a median year built of 1976, with 21.9% of units from the 1970s and 15.6% from the 1950s. Many of the older homes have flat or low-slope roofs and shallow attics, or none at all.

The Sarasota School

The Sarasota School of Architecture, active from 1941 to 1966, favored large planes of glass and clerestory windows, and that style is still common in local homes. Big glass walls let in a lot of heat. Many of these homes have flat roofs with little space for insulation. Foam roofing on a low-slope roof, or foam on the underside of the deck during a remodel, can add insulation where batts will not fit.

A city on the water

Sarasota covers about 24.09 square miles, and 9.39 of them, about 42.6%, is water. City limits include Lido, St. Armands and Bird keys and north Siesta Key. Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key on October 9, 2024, and water rose more than 8 feet near the city. Storm repairs have opened up many attics and walls.

Condos and apartments

About 20.6% of Sarasota housing units are in buildings of 50 or more units. For condos, insulation work is usually limited to top-floor ceilings or done through the association.

Older homes in town

Bungalows and 1950s ranches in neighborhoods near downtown often have shallow attics and low-slope roofs. Where there is an attic, sealing and a top-up are the first step. Where there is not, we look at roof options.

Same code on both sides of the county line

Sarasota County, like Manatee County, is in Florida's Climate Zone 2. The 2023 Florida energy code calls for R-38 ceilings and R-13 in wood-frame walls in that zone.

Rainy season

Wikipedia notes Sarasota's rainy season runs from about March through November, with around 49 inches of rain a year. We plan foam roofing and roof-related work around dry windows.

Sarasota Questions

My mid-century house has a flat roof with no attic. Can it be insulated?

Foam roofing on top of a low-slope roof adds insulation without an attic. During a remodel, foam can also go on the underside of the deck.

Do you work in Sarasota County as well as Manatee?

Yes. Both counties are in Florida's Climate Zone 2, so the code targets are the same.

Can you insulate a top-floor condo?

Often, through or with approval from the association.

What does foam roofing cost in Sarasota?

HomeAdvisor lists a typical foam roof at $7,500 to $18,000 nationally. Size, tear-off and coating choice drive the price, and we quote in writing after an inspection.
