Saturday Sept 11th - "Muddy Boots" Meet the Builder - LIVE Spray Foam Demonstrations

Join Stanton Homes for a special "Muddy Boots Meet the Builder" open house in Chatham County, just off 15/501!

LIVE Spray Foam Demonstrations - 1 pm, Saturday Sept 11th

Stanton Homes will be offering a LIVE Demonstration with Spray Foam Insulation!

Spray foam insulation is sprayed directly on to the walls and roofline of the home.

It expands and sets in a matter of minutes, offering superior insulation, humidity control, and cleaner indoor air.

Foam insulation is 3-4 times more energy efficient than conventional insulation.

Watch exactly how it works in this live demonstration open house!
