- ATAdam TaborFeb 18, 20235.0These guys came out to insulation my garage and also knocked out a small area of spray foam. Fair pricing. Good crew. On time and on budget. 5 stars!
- DLDavid LebsJul 3, 20215.0Very pleased with the repair of our roof after the wind and ice storm late last year. Will be keeping their contact information for any future work we might need to have done.
- MSMary SebastianJul 1, 20215.0We were very pleased with Bob and Ultimate Spray Foam Insulation. His team insulated our kitchen remodel in 2018 and our 2nd floor remodel in 2019. Before Ultimate Spray Foam, the 2nd floor was either roasting or freezing, depending on the season. After the insulation the 2nd floor is just about perfect. My OPPD monthly budget plan payment was reduced by 50%!!! All due to the Ultimate Spray Foam! I highly recommend Bob and his team! Great customer service and a fantastic product!

How Does spray foam compare with fiberglass batts?
Fiberglass batts will not stop air leakage. Blown-in cellulose will slow down air leakage. Spray-foam will STOP air leakage. Spray-foam is also mold and moisture resistant, unlike fiberglass and cellulose.
Fiberglass batts have an R-value of about 3.5 per inch. However, this is not a true R-Value since there is no air seal. Blown-in cellulose has an R-value of about 3 to 4 per inch) but also no air seal. Our spray foam has a true R-value of 3.8 - 6.8 depending on the density foam we use (1-inch thickness).
Fiberglass batts can sag over time; blown-in cellulose can settle over time, leaving sections of the stud cavity uninsulated. Spray-foam completely adheres to the wood studs and sheathing, resulting in a permanently sealed barrier against air penetration and leakage.
Spray foam will add strength and rigidity to your house. FEMA now requires homes in hurricane-prone areas to be constructed with spray foam insulation to withstand powerful winds.
What Is the R-value (insulation value) of SPF insulation?
Ultimate Spray Foam has a few different foam products of different densities. Our open-cell foam product has an R-value of 3.5 per inch, and in most applications, a house constructed with 2x4 studs will have 3.5 inches of open-cell foam, thus resulting in a total R-value of 12. If the house is constructed with 2x6 studs, the R-value when insulating with open-cell foam can reach a maximum of R-20. Our primary closed-cell foam has an R-value of 7.0 per inch and is usually sprayed between 2 to 3 inches thick, resulting in an R-value between 14 and 21. Spray foam is the only insulation product that offers a true R-value because it is the only product that creates an air seal.
I hear different opinions on open-cell vs. closed-cell foam. Which one is better and which one should I use for my property?
While Ultimate Spray Foam sprays both types of foam, the preferred choice has been closed-cell foam due to its higher R-value per inch, the strength it adds to the structure and the effectiveness of being a barrier against moisture. Although it is slightly more expensive, many owners and contractors prefer it due to these features. However, if the project has a limited budget, open-cell foam is a better choice.
How does spray foam insulation improve indoor air quality and comfort?
Spray foam insulation provides a sealed thermal envelope. When applied, the insulation conforms and fills each cavity, crack and void. By filling these voids, you seal the house against wind, dust, moisture, pollen, spores, insects, mold, and allergens. Insulating your home with spray foam insulation provides a healthier, quieter, draft-free, indoor environment with no harmful emissions that can cause allergic reactions.
How is the insulation installed?
Spray foam insulation is sprayed into the wall cavity in between the wooden studs with specialized equipment. The foam is sprayed on as a liquid, but within 2 to 10 seconds, the liquid will turn to foam and expand up to 100 times its original size filling every nook and cranny, sealing all gaps, and permanently adhering to the stud cavity.
How does spray foam insulation control moisture movement and condensation?
Most moisture damage in a building occurs when warm moist air inside the building is being exchanged with the cold, dry air inside an insulation cavity. As the moisture in the air condenses, it forms dew within the insulation. Because foam insulation is an air seal, this moisture movement and condensation do not occur. It is ideal for use in climates where buildings are both heated and air-conditioned because the situation is reversed in summer with moisture forming on the back of the interior vapor retarder.
Does spray foam insulation support bacteria, mold, or fungal growth?
No. Our foam products offer no food value. It is an inert substance; therefore, it does not support bacteria, mold, or fungal growth.
Does foam insulation cause any electrical wiring to overheat or any problems to any metal surfaces?
No, foam insulation has been thoroughly tested and is not a concern to electrical authorities, nor is it corrosive to any metals whatsoever.
Does the insulation contain formaldehyde?
No, it does not.
What are the main benefits of using spray polyurethane foam insulation from Ultimate Spray Foam, LLC?
Spray polyurethane foam insulation offers excellent insulating properties, reduces energy use by up to 50%, stops air leakage, improves indoor air quality, reduces noise, strengthens walls, deters pests, controls moisture, eliminates the need for vapor barriers, and increases property resale value.
How does spray foam insulation compare to traditional fiberglass batts?
Spray foam stops air leakage completely, is moisture and mold resistant, has a higher and true R-value, and adds structural strength to buildings. In contrast, fiberglass batts do not stop air leakage and can sag or leave insulation gaps over time.
What is the R-value of spray foam insulation offered by Ultimate Spray Foam, LLC?
Open-cell foam insulation has an R-value of about 3.5 per inch, with up to R-20 for 2x6 stud walls. Closed-cell foam has an R-value of approximately 7.0 per inch, commonly resulting in R-values between 14 and 21 depending on thickness.
Should I choose open-cell or closed-cell spray foam insulation for my property?
Closed-cell foam is preferred for its higher R-value, structural strength, and moisture barrier properties, though it is slightly more expensive. Open-cell foam is a budget-friendly alternative.
How does spray foam insulation improve indoor air quality and comfort?
Spray foam insulation seals all gaps and voids, preventing the infiltration of wind, dust, moisture, pollen, spores, insects, mold, and allergens, resulting in a healthier, quieter, and draft-free indoor environment.
