Home & Commercial Insulation FAQ

Insulation reduces heat transfer and air movement, helping keep buildings comfortable and energy efficient. Materials include spray foam, fiberglass batts, blown-in cellulose, and more.

Insulation lowers energy bills, improves comfort, manages moisture, and keeps HVAC systems from overworking. For commercial properties, it also supports code compliance and long-term ROI.

It depends on your goals. Spray foam provides superior air sealing and moisture resistance. Fiberglass batts are budget-friendly and work well when installed with precision. Commercial jobs often require closed-cell foam for durability and fire ratings.

Common areas include attics, crawl spaces, walls, basements, and rim joists. Commercial projects often target metal buildings, warehouses, and office fit-outs.

Costs vary by material, thickness, and project type. Residential batts may be cheaper upfront, while spray foam has higher ROI over time. Commercial installs are priced by square footage and building specs—contact us for a tailored quote.

Yes. Between energy savings, comfort, and durability, insulation pays back quickly. Spray foam often reduces bills by 25–50%. Commercial clients see reduced operating costs and improved tenant comfort.

Some state and federal programs provide rebates or incentives. We can help guide you toward current Houston-area programs if available.

A two-part liquid that expands to form an air- and moisture-tight seal. It comes in open-cell (lighter, sound-absorbing) and closed-cell (dense, structural, vapor barrier) options.

Fiberglass batts are pre-cut panels of spun glass fibers, installed between studs, joists, or rafters. They’re cost-effective but require precise fitting to avoid gaps.

Insulation slows heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation) and prevents air leakage. Spray foam also acts as an air barrier, while batts rely on fit and vapor barriers.

Most residential installs take 1–2 days. Commercial projects vary by square footage, with crews scaled to meet deadlines.

Yes. We recommend leaving until the foam has cured and the space is ventilated—usually 24 hours. For fiberglass installs, no vacancy is typically required.

Yes. Old insulation can be removed for upgrades or remediation. Spray foam retrofits may require specialized removal tools; fiberglass can be bagged and disposed of.

Spray foam lasts the lifetime of the structure. Fiberglass batts can last decades if kept dry and intact. Moisture or pests reduce lifespan.

Yes. Open-cell spray foam and fiberglass batts both reduce airborne sound. Closed-cell foam also stiffens walls, reducing vibration transfer.

Yes. We follow PPE and ventilation protocols during install. Once cured, spray foam is inert. Fiberglass batts are safe when covered with drywall or vapor barriers.

Insulation must meet fire-safety codes. Spray foam requires thermal barriers (like drywall) in living spaces. Fiberglass is naturally non-combustible but facings may need fire rating review.
