Local insulation context

What do Palomar Mountain insulation systems need?

Backcountry homes — Julian, Pine Valley, Ramona, Campo — see real winters along with hot summers. We push to R-49 minimum in attics, pay close attention to crawlspace rim joists for freeze protection, and often spec mineral wool on exterior assemblies that see freeze-thaw cycles. Closed-cell spray foam at rim joists is the most cost-effective single move for cabin and rural homes here.
