Most of Minnesota is in Climate Zone 7. Because of that Closed cell foam is the best foam to use in this area. Although we prefer to use Closed Cell Foams we also offer Open Cell Foam which is great as a soundproof insulation that is also great for filling large voids that we can’t get with 2lb closed cell foam.

Your house does need to be ventilated, but you need to be able to control that ventilation through mechanical means, You do not want air going through the walls and cracks where you have no control. This means working with your HVAC installer so that he installs the proper equipment in your home. 

Yes Spray foam can be sprayed after electrical and plumbing are in place. It will not melt the sheathing on the wires or affect them in any way. 

Spray foam can be installed almost all locations we do have to be able to get to get to the area that needs to be sprayed we do not have any long wands or attachments to get to the hard to reach areas

Spray foam insulation will last as long as your home does and being that it is sprayed in place you will not have any sagging or settling of your insulation over time 

Spray foam insulation is sprayed in place by our trained professional spray foam insulation applicators. Spray foam starts off as two separate liquid chemicals that come in barrels located in our spray foam insulation trailer/truck. These two chemicals are  pumped to our specialized Graco portioning equipment that heats the chemicals, pressurizes them, and monitors the application process to make sure that the foam being sprayed is on ratio and processed to manufacturer’s specifications. The Graco equipment that we have choose to use to process spray foam has modern processing technologies that will shut down the machine if any parameters fall outside of manufacturer specifications during the  spray foam application process. This failsafe feature is not available on all spray foam processing equipment. We feel that having the most modern, high-end equipment, with extra Fail-Safe options, is well worth the peace of mind knowing that all our projects will be On-Ratio and meet the required manufacturer specifications.

When we bid a spray foam job we highly recommend sealing all stud unions in your building envelope to completely seal things up.

Trying to decide what insulation contractor to trust your project or home can be difficult.

 There are a few key factors to consider when choosing the right insulation contractor for your home.  First, it’s important to check for references and reviews from past clients to get an idea of the company’s reputation and the quality of their work. You should also ask about the contractor’s experience and training, as well as their insurance and licensing status.  Make sure to ask about the materials and techniques they will use, and be sure to select a contractor who uses high-quality materials and follows proper installation procedures for your local climate zone. Finally, don’t be afraid to ask questions and clarify any concerns you may have before making a decision.
