Do you work with local builders and contractors?

Timelines vary by project size, but most home renovations range from two to eight weeks. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins.

Spray Foam Insulation Q&A
What’s the difference between open cell and closed cell spray foam?
Open cell is softer and more affordable, ideal for interior use. Closed cell is denser and provides higher insulation and moisture resistance, often used in basements, crawlspaces, and exterior walls.
Is spray foam better than fiberglass insulation?
Yes. Spray foam offers higher R-value, better air sealing, and long term energy savings compared to fiberglass batting or blown insulation.
Can spray foam be installed in existing homes?
Yes. Spray foam can be retrofitted into attics, crawlspaces, and walls with minimal disruption to your home.
How long does spray foam insulation last?
Spray foam insulation is designed to last the lifetime of your structure without settling or degrading.
Do you provide spray foam for new builds?
Absolutely. We work closely with builders to install spray foam insulation on schedule and to code.
Epoxy Floors Q&A
Where can epoxy floors be installed?
We install epoxy floors in garages, shops, basements, commercial spaces, and anywhere durability and appearance are important.
How long does it take to install epoxy flooring?
Most residential epoxy floor installations are completed in one to two days, depending on surface prep and square footage.
Are epoxy floors slippery when wet?
We offer slip resistant additives and finishes for added traction, especially in garages and commercial environments.
How long will my epoxy floor last?
With proper installation and care, epoxy floors can last 10 to 20 years or more.
Can epoxy be applied over old concrete?
Yes. We prep the surface thoroughly to ensure proper bonding and smooth, long lasting results.
Crawlspace Encapsulation Q&A
What is crawlspace encapsulation and why is it important?
Crawlspace encapsulation involves sealing the area with a vapor barrier, insulating block walls, and installing a dehumidifier to prevent moisture buildup and mold.
How long does it take to encapsulate a crawlspace?
Most projects are completed in two to three days, depending on size and access.
What materials do you use for crawlspace encapsulation?
We install a 16mil rubber vapor barrier across the floor and apply 1 inch of closed cell spray foam on all exposed block walls to fully seal and insulate the space.
Does crawlspace encapsulation improve energy efficiency?
Yes. By sealing off outside air and controlling moisture, encapsulation reduces HVAC load, leading to better energy efficiency and lower utility bills.
Is a dehumidifier required after encapsulation?
Yes. A properly sized dehumidifier is critical to maintaining dry air in the sealed space and preventing future mold or mildew growth.
