Broward Insulation has completed more insulation projects in Margate than any other city in our service area — over 90 jobs across every neighborhood, construction type, and property class this city has to offer. When you hire an insulation contractor in Margate, you want someone who already knows what’s behind your walls. That’s us.

Margate is not a glamorous market. It’s a city of working families, longtime residents, and properties that were built to last — concrete block homes from the 1960s and 70s, ranch-style houses from the 80s and 90s, apartment complexes along Copans Road, and commercial strips on State Road 7 that have been there longer than most of their tenants.

None of these buildings were insulated to today’s standards. Most were never upgraded. And every single month, that gap between what was installed and what should be there shows up on an FPL bill.

What Makes Margate Different From Every Other City We Serve

Most Broward County cities have a mix of construction types. Margate is overwhelmingly CBS — concrete block and stucco. That single fact changes everything about how insulation work gets done here.

Standard attic blown-in upgrades help. But in a CBS home, a significant portion of heat gain comes straight through the walls — not the roof. You can upgrade your attic to R-38 and still have a hot house in July because nobody addressed the walls.

Most insulation contractors in Broward County don’t offer CBS wall foam injection. We do. We inject two-component foam directly into the hollow cores of the block — no demolition, no drywall, no mess. The wall cavity gets filled, the heat transfer drops dramatically, and the homeowner finally understands why their neighbor with the same floor plan has a lower electric bill.

The Real Cost of Doing Nothing in a Margate Home

A typical Margate CBS home built in the 1970s is losing conditioned air through the roof and through every exterior wall simultaneously. R-8 attic insulation — which is what most of these homes still have — was barely adequate when it was installed. After 40 years of compression and settling, it’s doing almost nothing.

The math is straightforward. Upgrading to R-38 attic insulation cuts cooling costs by 25–40%. Adding CBS wall foam injection on top of that pushes total savings higher. For a home spending $300/month on cooling, that’s $75–$120 back every single month — and most Margate attic upgrades qualify for a $220 FPL rebate on top of that.

The average payback period for a combined attic and wall upgrade in a Margate CBS home is two to three years. After that, every month is pure savings.

Margate’s Apartment and Commercial Properties

Single-family homes are only part of the picture in Margate. This city has a substantial inventory of older apartment complexes, condominium buildings, and commercial properties — all of which share the same insulation deficit as the residential stock.

For property managers and building owners, the economics are even more compelling. Larger square footage means larger energy losses — and larger savings when those losses are addressed. We work directly with HOA boards, property management companies, and commercial owners to schedule building-wide upgrades that minimize tenant disruption and maximize energy performance.

We handle permits, FPL documentation, and scheduling logistics. You get a cooler building and a lower operating cost. That’s the whole transaction.
