Spray Foam Insulation Installation

What Is It?

Spray foam insulation is one of the most advanced and effective ways to seal and insulate your home. Applied as a liquid that expands into a solid foam, it fills cracks, gaps, and cavities, creating an airtight barrier that dramatically reduces energy loss.

At REAP, we install both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam insulation depending on the project needs. This upgrade improves efficiency, comfort, and durability while qualifying homeowners for NYSERDA Comfort Home Program rebates and financing options.

Why It Matters

  • Superior Air Sealing: Eliminates drafts by sealing cracks and hard-to-reach spaces.

  • High R-Value: Provides more insulation per inch than traditional materials.

  • Moisture Barrier: Closed-cell spray foam helps control moisture and reduce risk of mold or rot.

  • Durability: Spray foam lasts longer than fiberglass or cellulose, reducing long-term maintenance.

  • Eco & Cost Benefits: Reduces heating and cooling costs, lowering your home’s carbon footprint.

  • Program Eligibility: Often qualifies for NYSERDA rebates, making it more affordable.

How It Works

  1. Energy Audit & Inspection
    We evaluate your home’s insulation needs, focusing on areas where spray foam offers the biggest impact (attics, rim joists, basements, crawlspaces, and new construction).

  2. Preparation
    Existing insulation may be removed. Surfaces are cleaned and prepped for foam application.

  3. Application
    Our certified team applies spray foam using specialized equipment, ensuring full coverage and sealing.

  4. Curing & Verification
    The foam expands, cures, and is inspected for proper installation. An optional blower door test confirms improved airtightness.
