Harrison’s homes have a median build year of 1962, and the city has 1,225 housing units, plus year-round homes and cottages on the lakes around town. Many have shallow or settled attic insulation, and cottages that sit closed in winter are prone to moisture problems. Energy Plus Home Improvements has served Mid-Michigan since 1971 from Riverdale, about 43 miles south, and our crews have insulation, window, door and roofing projects across the Harrison area. Every installation is backed by the EP Protection Plan™.

Quality You Can Trust
Harrison’s motto, “20 Lakes in 20 Minutes,” means many homes are lake houses and cottages, some with low-slope roofs, small attics or additions with their own attic spaces. We insulate each attic area separately, as on the Maplewood Street project, with baffles at every eave so the soffit vents stay open and the roof deck stays cold.
A cottage that sits closed all winter can collect moisture in the attic and crawlspace. Air sealing the attic floor and sealing the crawlspace keep damp air from condensing on cold framing. We look for staining, frost and mold during the inspection.
We also install EP FoamCore™ spray foam, EP RetroCore™ wall insulation and EP CrawlGuard™ crawlspace encapsulation. Final pricing is confirmed after we inspect the home.
Inside the city limits, start with the City of Harrison at City Hall, 2105 Sullivan Drive. Homes in Hayes, Hatton and other Clare County townships follow the township or county process. We confirm the requirement and pull the permit when one is needed.
Local Expertise
Harrison has been the Clare County seat since 1877, when it replaced Farwell. The railroad platted the town in 1879, and it became a city in 1891. Budd Lake sits mostly inside the city limits with Wilson State Park on its shore, and Mid Michigan College has a campus just southeast of town.
Homes range from older houses in town to lake homes and cottages. Each estimate states what we found, what we recommend, and anything we cannot confirm until we are in the attic or crawlspace.

Our 2026 Maplewood Street project covers about 684 square feet of attic blown to 12 inches of cellulose with 32 vent baffles, plus a second 168-square-foot attic area with 14 more baffles. Every job starts with a depth check and air-leak inspection and ends with a final coverage check and full cleanup.

Answers to the questions we hear most often about insulation projects.
Yes. Additions, garages and dormers often have their own attic spaces. We measure and insulate each one, with baffles at every eave.
Air seal the attic floor, seal the crawlspace and keep vents clear. That stops damp indoor air from condensing on cold framing while the cottage is empty.
The Department of Energy recommends R-49 to R-60 for Michigan attics. EP ComfortCore™ 16 reaches about R-49 and EP ComfortCore™ 20 about R-60 or more.
Baffles hold insulation back from the soffit vents so outside air can flow under the roof deck. That keeps the deck cold and helps prevent ice dams.
It depends on the scope and where the home is. Inside the city, check with City Hall at 2105 Sullivan Drive; township homes follow their own process. We confirm the requirement and pull the permit when one is needed.
