Report
The purpose of this account is to report poor performance of a company and their product. That company is RetroFoamTM whose headquarters is located in Knoxville TN. I used their division/subsidiary located in Diamondhead MS. Their offering/proposal is to shoot foam from exterior of home behind any bat insulation and fill the void in between the studs with foam to better insulate your home. During the initial appraisal and assessment of my home, I was told that their customers have been obtaining 20-30% better electrical/energy bills after RetroFoaming their homes. At 20%, that would have been

We had Gulf Coast Retrofoam spray foam all of our outside walls in our home. Our house is 45+ years old and was in need of insulation. After speaking with the owner and getting an estimate, we had our house done. We did notice a difference in our electric bill the next month. Because our house is older, we do need to do the attic, and replace some windows, but we are pleased with the walls so far. They were very professional and made sure their work area was cleaned before leaving the job site. We will save and call them back when we are ready to do the attic.
