Factors That Affect the Cost

You might be wondering what factors affect the cost of our service!

Here’s a quick rundown of the main things that impact your spray foam quote:

• Type of foam: Closed-cell offers higher R-value and moisture resistance (great for basements, exteriors, steel buildings, containers, and more!).

• Area being insulated: Attics, basements, crawlspaces, shipping containers—each one has its own quirks.

• Square footage: More space = more material and time.

• Thickness needed: This depends on building code and performance goals (we'll guide you).

• Accessibility: Tight crawlspaces or high rooflines may take extra time or equipment.

• Prep work: Need old insulation removed? That adds a bit to the quote, too.
