Energy Plus Home Improvements is based in Riverdale, at 6649 NW Lumberjack Road, and has served Mid-Michigan since 1971. Homes around Riverdale and in Seville and Sumner townships range from older farmhouses to newer ranches, along with pole barns, shops and outbuildings that need insulation too. We air seal and insulate attics, spray foam walls and rim joists, and encapsulate crawlspaces. Every installation is backed by the EP Protection Plan™.

Quality You Can Trust
Country properties around Riverdale often have more to insulate than the house: shops, studios and outbuildings that need to stay warm or dry. Closed-cell spray foam is usually the best choice there, because it insulates, seals air and resists moisture in one layer, as on the Sand Road project.
Homes on open lots lose heat fast when winter wind finds gaps at the sill plate, rim joists and attic floor. We seal those gaps before insulating, then bring the attic toward the R-49 to R-60 the U.S. Department of Energy recommends for Michigan.
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 or building.
Riverdale is unincorporated, so requirements come from Seville or Sumner Township or Gratiot County, depending on the address and scope. We confirm the requirement and pull the permit when one is needed.
Local Expertise
Arthur Newton settled Riverdale in 1874 and platted it in 1875; the founders wanted to call it Riverside, but the name was taken, so it became Riverdale. The Pine River runs through town, the old rail line is now the Fred Meijer Heartland Trail between Alma and Greenville, and the Riverdale Tavern has operated since 1917.
Most properties here are farmhouses, ranches and country homes with outbuildings. Each estimate states what we found, what we recommend, and anything we cannot confirm until we are in the attic, crawlspace or wall.

See the difference quality insulation makes. Drag the slider to compare.
Near Sumner in early 2025, our crew insulated a backyard outbuilding on Sand Road with closed-cell spray foam, 2 inches in some areas and 4 inches in others, before drywall and paint. Closed-cell foam seals air leaks, adds R-value and helps keep moisture out of framed walls. Every job starts with an inspection and ends with a final coverage check and cleanup.

Answers to the questions we hear most often about insulation projects.
Yes. Closed-cell spray foam is usually the best choice for outbuildings because it insulates, seals air and resists moisture in a single layer.
Thicker foam adds more R-value. Two inches is common on rim joists and some walls; four inches is used where more insulation is needed. We recommend thickness by area and use.
Yes. Riverdale is our home base, and we insulate homes and buildings throughout Seville and Sumner townships and the surrounding countryside.
For most open attics, blown-in cellulose with air sealing is the most cost-effective choice. Spray foam fits tight spaces, rim joists, vaulted ceilings and outbuildings.
Riverdale is unincorporated, so requirements come from the township or Gratiot County and depend on the scope. We confirm the requirement and pull the permit when one is needed.
