GaiaCrete® is perfect for McKinney's historic downtown. It can be spray-applied into existing wall cavities without demolishing original plaster, brick, or woodwork. The result: 21st-century insulation performance in a 19th-century building, with zero VOCs to damage historic materials.
McKinney's growth has pushed development into Wilson Creek and East Fork corridors. Homes near creeks face periodic flooding that destroys fiberglass ($15,000+ remediation). GaiaCrete® absorbs floodwater, dries at pH 12+ (no mold), and requires zero remediation. Build smart near water.
A 2,500 sqft McKinney home with GaiaCrete® saves $1,200-$1,800/year in energy costs. Installation costs $12,500-$30,000. Payback: 8-12 years. Then 88+ years of pure savings, plus $50,000-$100,000 in added home value at resale. The math is simple.
