How the business works

Every project begins with an on-site assessment at no charge. The assessment establishes the assembly type, the condition and depth of any existing insulation, where the heating and cooling ductwork runs, and how the space is ventilated. A written estimate follows, stating the specific product, the installed thickness and the area to be covered, so it can be compared directly against competing bids.

The choice between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam is made per assembly rather than per customer. Open-cell is lighter, more economical per inch, vapor permeable and acoustically useful, which suits interior partitions and vented assemblies. Closed-cell is denser, delivers more thermal resistance per inch, adds rigidity, and acts as its own vapor retarder at sufficient thickness, which suits roof decks, metal buildings and tight cavities.

Regional context

Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe sits in a hot arid climate where summer air temperatures regularly exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit and attic temperatures under a sun-exposed roof run considerably higher. Homes here are almost entirely slab on grade, so basements are effectively absent and crawl spaces are uncommon. Heating and cooling ductwork is frequently routed through unconditioned attic space, which makes the decision between insulating at the attic floor and sealing at the roof deck the most consequential specification choice on many properties.
