Services
Spray Foam Insulation
Our closed-cell spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal with built-in vapor barrier protection. This high-performance solution achieves R-values up to 7 per inch, significantly improving energy efficiency while preventing air leakage. Ideal for Minnesota's extreme winters, our 2lb density foam meets industry standards for durability and thermal performance.
Batt & Poly Insulation
Cost-effective batt & poly installation combines traditional fiberglass insulation with vapor barrier protection. Our team follows building envelope best practices to ensure proper installation that maximizes thermal resistance. This solution works particularly well in new construction projects requiring code-compliant insulation systems.
Attic Insulation
Comprehensive attic insulation solutions address ventilation, vapor barriers, and R-value optimization. Our experts evaluate existing conditions including potential asbestos concerns in older homes. We implement tailored approaches to prevent heat loss through the building's upper envelope while maintaining structural integrity.
