Insulation in Gorham, ME
Ice dams on a Gorham roof are usually not a roofing problem — they're a heat-loss problem. Warm air escaping into the attic melts snow from underneath, the melt refreezes at the cold eave, and water backs up under the shingles. Fixing the insulation and air sealing is what stops it happening again, and it's the same work that cuts the heating bill. 207 Leads matches Gorham homeowners with local insulation contractors in Cumberland County.

What Gorham homeowners call us for
Attic insulation
Blown cellulose, fiberglass, and spray foam, taken to a depth that actually meets a Maine winter rather than the minimum.
Air sealing
Closing the gaps around chimneys, recessed lights, top plates, and plumbing penetrations. Often the biggest single gain for the money, and routinely skipped.
Spray foam insulation
Closed-cell in basements, rim joists, and crawl spaces; open-cell in the right interior applications.
Rim joist & sill sealing
The band around the top of the foundation, which is cold in almost every older Maine house and rarely insulated.
Basement & crawl space
Rigid board, foam, and vapour management — including doing it in the order that doesn't trap moisture.
Wall insulation
Dense-pack cellulose in existing wall cavities, and insulating during a renovation when the walls are already open.
Ice dam prevention
The insulation and ventilation work that addresses the cause, rather than heat cable that treats the symptom.
Efficiency Maine rebates
Guidance on available efficiency incentives and the paperwork, including what qualifies and what doesn't.

Gorham questions
- What should I do first — insulation or windows?
- Insulation and air sealing, almost always. Dollar for dollar it does more in a Maine house, and windows are usually the most expensive way to save the least energy. Drafts that feel like they come from a window are often air being pulled through the house from a leaky attic floor.
- Will more insulation stop my ice dams?
- It's the actual fix, along with air sealing and ventilation, because ice dams form from heat escaping the house. That's why adding heat cable or shovelling the roof works for one winter and the dam comes back — nothing about the heat loss changed. A contractor should want to look in the attic, not just at the roof.
- How soon will someone reach out?
- Usually within one business day. If you're waiting longer than that, text (207) 779-8533 and we'll chase it.
- What does this cost me as a homeowner?
- Nothing. Submitting a request is free and you're under no obligation. You talk to the contractor, ask what you want, and hire them or don't.
- Who are these contractors?
- Local Maine companies that cover your town — not a national call centre. If a company does poor work, tell us and we stop sending them work. That's the only reason it's worth going through us instead of cold-calling.
- Is this an emergency — what do I do?
- Call or text (207) 779-8533 and say so. Emergencies get moved to the front instead of sitting in a quote queue.
