Spray foam insulation is extremely effective in sealing gaps and insulating hard-to-reach areas, but improper installation can reduce its efficiency or cause issues like off-gassing or expansion damage. That’s why professional application by licensed technicians—like our crew at Third Coast Spray Foam—is key to a safe, high-performing result.
DIY spray foam might seem tempting, but it can lead to uneven application, inadequate sealing, or even health risks. Often, the cost of DIY kits is greater than what you might pay a professional for a similar amount of insulation without factoring in your labor, preparation and clean up time, safety equipment, and the risk of off-ratio foam. For lasting comfort, energy savings, and peace of mind, it’s best to trust trained insulation specialists with the job.
Absolutely. Spray foam roofing systems perform well in Michigan’s climate, offering durability, leak resistance, and superior insulation. They reflect heat in the summer and lock in warmth during cold winters—ideal for year-round comfort and energy savings.
Closed cell spray foam is denser and offers higher R-value per inch. It is an air barrier, moisture barrier, and vapor retarder. Closed cell adds racking strength to walls and attics. It is great for basements, walls, attics, crawl spaces, and any area that may be in contact with water. Open-cell foam is lighter, more flexible, and better suited for soundproofing or use in dry locations.
Yes! Fibrous insulation products like cellulose and fiberglass typically have a useful lifespan of 20 years. At that point, it’s insulative strenght has dropped while having trapped dirt, odors, insects, and other undesirable elements. We provide professional insulation removal services to safely clear outdated, damaged, or mold-prone insulation—making way for efficient, modern upgrades like spray foam or blown-in insulation.
Both are great options depending on your needs. Fiberglass insulation is cost-effective and works well in attics and wall cavities. Blow-in insulation (also called loose-fill) is perfect for retrofitting or topping up existing insulation—providing full coverage and improved energy efficiency.
