The Free State of Winston's County Seat

Spray Foam Insulation in Double Springs serves the seat of Winston County. Double Springs won the county seat from Houston by referendum in 1883 and incorporated on May 17, 1943. It had 1,119 residents in 2020. Winston County famously refused to secede in the Civil War, and the "Dual Destiny" statue in front of the courthouse, erected in 1987, marks that history.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 494 housing units with 13.4% vacant, and 428 households. About 34.3% of households were people living alone. Homes range from older frame houses to mid-century ranches, nearly all on crawl spaces.

Zone 3A

Winston County is in climate zone 3A, like Walker. Alabama's code summary lists R-30 ceilings and R-19 floors for zone 3. Older homes here usually fall short on both, and fixing the attic and floor is the first step.

Lake and forest country

The area around Double Springs is wooded hill country near Smith Lake. Cabins and lake homes benefit from crawl space and attic sealing.

Crawl space choices

In Double Springs homes we see two common setups under the floor. Some have a vented crawl space with batts falling from the joists; those get a liner, rim joist foam and better floor insulation. Some can be fully closed off: liner up the walls, vents sealed, walls insulated, plus a dehumidifier. HomeGuide lists encapsulation at $3,000 to $15,000 and a vapor barrier alone at $1,200 to $4,000, so the choice matters. We crawl the space and tell you which fits.
