Stanton is the Montcalm County seat, a small city of about 1,350 people with older homes near the courthouse and newer homes on the edges of town. Many still have shallow or settled attic insulation. Energy Plus Home Improvements has served Mid-Michigan since 1971 from Riverdale, about 15 miles northeast of Stanton. We air seal the attic floor on our Better, Best and Premier packages, install baffles at the eaves and blow in cellulose to the depth your package calls for. Every installation is backed by the EP Protection Plan™.

Quality You Can Trust
The U.S. Department of Energy recommends R-49 to R-60 for Michigan attics. Sixteen inches of blown cellulose, as on the North Court Street project, reaches about R-49 and is our most recommended level. We measure what you have now and show you how far it is from the target.
Deep insulation can block the soffit vents if it is not held back. Baffles at each eave keep air moving under the roof deck, which keeps the deck cold and dry and helps prevent ice dams.
We also install EP FoamCore™ spray foam, EP RetroCore™ wall insulation and EP CrawlGuard™ crawlspace encapsulation. Final pricing is confirmed after we inspect the attic.
Inside the city, start with the City of Stanton; homes in surrounding Montcalm County townships follow the township or county process. We confirm the requirement for your address and pull the permit when one is needed.
Local Expertise
Stanton became the Montcalm County seat in 1860, when voters moved the seat from Greenville. The site was first named Fred and renamed in 1863 for Edwin M. Stanton, the U.S. Secretary of War. It became a village in 1869 and a city in 1881, and the 2000 census recorded the highest share of Finnish ancestry of any populated place in the country.
Homes range from older houses near downtown to postwar and newer homes outside it. Each estimate states the depth and air leaks we found, the package we recommend, and anything we cannot confirm until we are in the attic.

Our North Court Street project, ordered in December 2025, covers about 1,164 square feet of attic blown to 16 inches of cellulose, about R-49, with 36 vent baffles to keep the soffit intakes open. 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.
Sixteen inches of blown cellulose reaches about R-49, the low end of the Department of Energy's R-49 to R-60 recommendation for Michigan. EP ComfortCore™ 20 goes to about R-60 or more.
Usually one at each rafter bay along the eaves where there is a soffit vent. On North Court Street, that meant 36 baffles.
The attic is supposed to be cold. Insulation keeps the heat in the house, and ventilation keeps the attic close to outdoor temperature, which protects the roof.
Yes. Blown-in insulation is installed from inside the attic, so cold weather does not stop the work.
It depends on the scope and where the home is. Check with the City of Stanton or your township; we confirm the requirement and pull the permit when one is needed.
