Tacoma's historic neighborhoods are filled with character — and empty wall cavities. RetroFoam fills them without touching your drywall or tearing into your siding.
Tacoma has some of the most beautiful older homes in the Pacific Northwest — Stadium District Victorians, North End bungalows, Proctor Craftsmans. Most were built long before energy codes required wall insulation. RetroFoam is the minimal-disruption answer: we insulate through the siding in a single day, leaving everything inside untouched.
Tacoma's wet winters and older housing stock are a challenging combination.
Tacoma's gorgeous older stock deserves to be livable year-round. Injection foam fills wall cavities completely without altering your home's historic character — no interior damage, no exterior changes beyond a small patched hole per stud bay.
RetroFoam's closed-cell foam matrix absorbs sound as well as heat. Homes near busy Tacoma streets and corridors notice a significant reduction in traffic and neighbor noise after installation.
Uninsulated walls are the single biggest source of heat loss in older homes. Once filled, RetroFoam prevents that loss permanently — most homeowners see a meaningful reduction in heating costs within the first winter.
Simple, fast, no interior disruption.
