Spray Foam Insulation
Our spray foam insulation creates an air barrier and insulator in one application. This two-component system expands to fill gaps, reducing energy costs by 15% while improving indoor air quality. Closed-cell foam provides R-values up to 7 per inch, ideal for new construction and retrofit projects. The material resists moisture absorption and maintains structural integrity for decades without settling.
Fiberglass Insulation
We install both batt and blown-in fiberglass insulation with formaldehyde-free composition. Our R-30 rated attic insulation reduces HVAC workload by 30% while meeting 2021 IECC code requirements. The non-corrosive material maintains thermal performance for 100+ years and reduces sound transmission between rooms by 50% compared to uninsulated walls.
Cellulose Insulation
Made from 85% recycled paper, our cellulose insulation achieves Class 1 fire rating through borate treatment. The loose-fill material fills irregular spaces completely, achieving 38% better thermal performance than standard fiberglass. It naturally resists mold growth and improves moisture management in attics while qualifying for federal tax credits.
Blow-In Blanket System
Our BIBS installation method densely packs fiberglass into wall cavities at 2-2.5x standard density. This creates continuous coverage without gaps, improving energy efficiency by 25% compared to batt insulation. The netting system ensures permanent installation with zero settling, maintaining R-value performance throughout the building's lifecycle.
Concrete Lifting
We restore sunken concrete using polyurethane foam injection that expands to 33x volume. This method lifts slabs to original grade with 98% accuracy using dime-sized injection ports. The closed-cell foam stabilizes soil beneath driveways and sidewalks while costing 50% less than full replacement, with immediate return to service after treatment.
Questions
What insulation types qualify for tax credits?
Our spray foam, cellulose, and fiberglass insulation products meet IRS requirements for 30% tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act when installed to specified R-values.
How does BIBS insulation differ from batt insulation?
BIBS insulation fills cavities completely with dense-packed fiberglass, eliminating gaps that reduce efficiency by 20-40% compared to traditional batt insulation methods.
Can you insulate existing homes?
Yes, we specialize in retrofit insulation using drill-and-fill methods for attics and walls, achieving R-49 attic standards without damaging interior finishes.
What energy audit services do you offer?
Our BPI-certified technicians perform blower door testing and thermal imaging to identify energy losses, providing customized solutions that reduce bills by 15-30%.
How long does spray foam insulation last?
Closed-cell spray foam maintains performance for 80+ years without degradation, with our one-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality and material integrity.
Do you service commercial buildings?
Yes, we provide multifamily insulation solutions including soundproofing systems for apartment complexes and energy-efficient upgrades for commercial structures.

Called the general manager, for a job on short notice, and he fit a service truck to meet our companies needs. Hard to find someone to take care of a smaller job. On short notice. I appreciate that.
