Spray foam for every part of the building
From the attic down to the rim joists, we seal the places where your heat gets out and the cold gets in.
-
Attic insulation
Foam sprayed to the roof deck or attic floor stops warm air from rising out of the house and keeps summer heat out of the rooms below.

Wall insulation
Open walls in a new build or a renovation are filled stud to stud, so there are no gaps at the edges for drafts to slip through.

Basements and rim joists
Rim joists are one of the leakiest spots in a house. Closed-cell foam seals them and keeps the floor above warmer.

Crawl spaces
Sealing crawl space walls cuts damp, cold air coming up into the house and makes the floors over it more comfortable.

Pole barns and garages
Metal buildings and garages sweat and swing with the weather. A layer of foam steadies the temperature and checks condensation.

Commercial buildings
Roof decks, walls and open bays in shops, offices and warehouses, sprayed to suit how the building is used.

Why spray foam
Why spray foam beats the old way
Fiberglass slows heat down. Spray foam also stops the air that carries it. That is the difference you feel in a drafty room.
-
Seals air leaks
Foam expands into cracks and gaps that batts leave open, so warm air stays inside.
-
Lower energy bills
When the house stops leaking air, the furnace and the air conditioner run less.
-
Even temperatures
No more cold bedroom over the garage or hot upstairs in July.
-
Moisture control
Closed-cell foam resists water and helps keep condensation out of walls and rim joists.
-
Quieter rooms
Open-cell foam softens outside noise and sound moving between rooms.
-
Built for our winters
Rochester winters are long. Foam keeps the heat you pay for where you want it.

Spray foam vs. fiberglass batts
A plain look at how the two hold up in a Rochester house.
| Feature | Fiberglass batts | Spray foam |
|---|---|---|
| Air sealing | Air moves through and around batts | Expands to seal gaps and cracks |
| Fit | Gaps where batts are cut to fit | Fills odd-shaped cavities completely |
| Moisture | Can hold moisture when it gets wet | Closed-cell foam resists water |
| Settling | Can sag and settle over the years | Bonds in place and does not sag |
| Pests | Soft material pests can nest in | Leaves fewer ways in |
| Noise | Some sound reduction | Open-cell foam softens noise well |
| Cost | Lower price up front | Costs more up front, saves on bills over time |
A general comparison. How either one performs depends on the building and how it is installed.
