Photographs from our own job sites across Greater Houston, and the record we keep of what was specified and why.

Free on-site assessment across Greater Houston. Monday to Saturday.

What you are looking at

These are our photographs, from our jobs. This set is new-construction spray foam in Greater Houston, shot before drywall — the only stage at which insulation is visible, and therefore the only stage at which it can honestly be photographed.

Underneath the photographs is the record we keep of the job: the assembly, the condition it was found in, the system that was specified, the reasoning, and the depth that was measured during application. Every job we do is recorded in that same format, and the copy you get is the one that stays with your building. If you want to see what that looks like before you commit, it is the written scope.


Job record

How every job is recorded

The same fields on every job, filled in on site rather than written up afterwards. A blank is a measurement that was not taken, and it stays blank.

Field note — photographed on site

New-construction wall and roofline foam, Greater Houston

Region
Greater Houston
Building type
Single-family, new construction
Stage
Pre-drywall, after the trades and before the inspection
Assembly
Exterior wall cavities and a vaulted ceiling at the roofline
Condition found
Open framing. Wiring, plumbing stub-outs, bracing and blocking through most bays.
System selected
Open-cell spray foam
Why this system
Cavities are irregular once the trades have finished, so a cut batt leaves voids behind pipes and blocking. Foam expands into them. Vapor-open at the roofline, so a future roof leak shows itself on the ceiling below instead of sitting in the assembly.
Not included
Garage ceiling and the party wall. Both were outside the scope that was agreed, and both were named on it as exclusions.
Documented
Applied depth verified with a gauge during application and recorded on the scope sheet left on site.

Questions

Common questions

Because insulation is only visible before the drywall goes on. Retrofit work is genuinely harder to photograph honestly — by the time it is finished, it is behind something. The service pages describe each assembly in detail, and the job record above is kept the same way whatever the building is.

Ask. Depending on the customer and the stage, we can sometimes arrange it, and we can always talk you through what we have done in your area. Start from your city page.

Yes. The scope sheet with the applied depth on it is handed over with the job and stays with the building. It is the document that tells the next person what is actually in the walls.

The visit is free. Someone comes out, looks at the building and gives you a written scope and a price, and the decision stays yours.
