Newer homes, specific gaps

Subdivision homes from the 1990s on are tighter than older homes, but bonus rooms over garages, vaulted ceilings and rim joists are common problem areas. We seal and insulate those spots.

Limestone and lakes

The Bethany Falls limestone runs under the city and forms bluffs near Longview Lake. Lake Jacomo and Blue Springs Lake are nearby. The city's name refers to the highest point on the railroad between Kansas City and St. Louis, at about 1,028 feet.
