Spray foam insulation has a very high R-value, or capacity to retain heat, so it’s ideal for energy savings. However, you need a qualified contractor to install it. The guide below offers a few questions you should ask to vet a potential insulation contractor.

What to Ask a Spray Foam Insulation Contractor

Are you licensed and insured?

Even if your state has lax licensing requirements for contractors, a licensed business has put in the extra time to prove their business is up to standards.

A certified contractor will ensure that the insulation is covered with a fire-retardant material to improve home safety. They’ll also be insured in case any issues arise in the process.

How long have you been in business? How experienced are your employees?

It usually takes a few years for any problems with spray foam insulation to show, so you want a reliable contractor that will still be in business in the future if problems arise. You should also make sure the team is experienced with spray foam to avoid human errors.

Can you provide references?

You can tell the trustworthiness of a contractor by their past customers’ testimonials. When you contact a spray foam insulation contractor, ask if they’re willing to provide references from satisfied customers. You should also look for online reviews or also ask friends if they have a contractor they’ve been happy with.

What material are you using? Does it have a warranty?

There are many different formulations of spray foam insulation, so you want to make sure you’re getting one that’s been tested and held up over time. The foam your contractor uses should come with a manufacturer warranty. Your contractor should also be willing to offer a guarantee on their labor to protect you.
