Servicing Michigan's Lower Peninsula & Greater Toledo
Planning and building a new home takes a lot of time and can be stressful as you want everything to be just right.
From the flooring to the countertops to the right shade of paint, there are plenty of decisions to be made about your new home. However, one important decision is often overlooked -- choosing the right insulation.
This is a key decision that will have a major impact on your family’s overall comfort, as well as how much you end up paying the local utility company each month.
More and more people are now asking their home builders about spray foam insulation to avoid uncomfortable rooms, high energy bills, and other problems down the road.
Foam insulation provides the necessary air seal to keep indoor temperatures consistent across the rooms of your home all year, no matter the season.
Foam insulation will keep your furnace and air conditioner from working overtime, reducing the carbon footprint, and keeping your monthly energy bills under control.
Ice dams, moisture concerns, and cold bonus rooms are major problems that can be prevented by having the proper insulation and air seal from the start.
Your family will be happy for years to come that you made the smart insulation choice for your new home.
To help you and your builder along the way, our consultative project managers, highly skilled crews, and helpful office staff aim to guide you through the process with ease. To top things off, our lifetime warranty gives your family access to our family long after the job is complete.
You get premium high-pressure spray foam and top-of-the-line technology that consistently delivers a reliable and safe product.
You receive experienced, highly skilled, and professional crews - who are our employees - to complete your install.
We stand behind our work with a lifetime warranty on the product and workmanship, so you’re now part of the family.

If you want to avoid and have a permanent defense against comfort issues in your home or energy efficiency issues, then foam insulation is a good fit for you. An added bonus, it's a permanent solution, meaning you'll never have to replace or maintain the foam insulation like you would have to do with traditional insulation. Homeowners looking for a cheap option or DIY project aren't a good fit for foam insulation. Learn more.
Foam insulation creates an air seal, but also thermal resistance. That thermal resistance keeps heat from moving through the insulation to the other side. The air seal keeps the air you pay to treat inside where you want while keeping the outside air out where it belongs. Learn more.
While foam insulation is about two to three times more expensive than blown-in cellulose and fiberglass, it will pay you back with the air seal it creates on your monthly energy bills. Learn more.

The install process begins with the foreman doing a walkthrough with the homeowner to ensure they are on the same page in regards to the scope of work and foam to be used. Next, the crew will prep any areas that need it and begin spraying the foam. Once that is complete, the crew cuts back any foam that needs it and cleans up. Finally, the foreman will walkthrough again with the homeowner to ensure the work has been done to their satisfaction.
Most new home projects can be done in just a day. Larger or more complicated projects could take an extra day or two to complete.
There are a lot of variables to consider when talking about how much you can save on monthly energy bills. Your doors, windows, HVAC system, and insulation all play a role.
