  If you’re considering RetroFoam San Antonio, don’t. This has been one of the most frustrating and costly home service experiences I’ve ever dealt with. It started with the initial quote visit. The salesman assured me there would be noticeable noise reduction after the foam installation. Well, that was a complete lie. There is absolutely NO noise reduction. I paid for a benefit they promised, and it simply does not exist. Then came the install crew… and the real nightmare began. They overfilled foam into my entire bedroom wall so badly that the wall had to be completely replaced. This wasn’t a small patch or minor repair—this was major damage caused directly by their work. RetroFoam sent a contractor out to assess the repairs, but once they clearly didn’t like the estimate, suddenly they decided to send “their trusted guy” from San Antonio instead. That guy showed up acting like he was going to demo, hang drywall, sand, texture, and paint a 14x12 wall in ONE DAY. Completely unrealistic and honestly ridiculous. To make it worse, he was sanding wet drywall mud just to rush the job and get out of there. The result looked exactly like what it was: a rushed, sloppy “repair” done by someone trying to cut corners. After all that, RetroFoam still wasn’t done. They later claimed they were going to send someone out to fix sections of the wall that were still lacking foam. Mia told me they would use a heat gun to do it properly. No heat gun was ever used. Instead, the guy drilled multiple additional holes in my walls, creating even more damage for me to fix. And here’s the best part: they sent the same guy back out again—the same person involved in the first mess that damaged my wall in the first place. Apparently, RetroFoam doesn’t believe in learning from mistakes or preventing repeat issues. When all was said and done, after the false promises, the property damage, the rushed repair work, and the repeated wall drilling… I still had to pay the entire bill. No accountability. No meaningful resolution. Just excuses and more damage. RetroFoam San Antonio was careless, misleading, and unprofessional from start to finish. Save yourself the headache, save your walls, and hire someone else. Watch out for RetroFoam San Antonio.

  Crew arrived on time and explained the process each step of the way. The provided photos of before the installation to show what we were working with. Josh, Jacob and Vincent were respectful and great to work with. Highly recommend.

  Contacted Central Texas RetroFoam to help add insulation to my second floor. I had already contacted a contractor to remove the siding and add ridged foam board. Received an astronomical price. Noticed one of the RetroFoam truck&trailers. Called the number and am so glad I did. Craig gave me a honest quote and timeline. Mia scheduled my install date and stayed in touch with me every step of the way. Josh and Niko arrived early on the installation day. We performed a walkthrough of all four walls. They set up and began working. They were very professional and took care of my home. It was a long day, they finished just before the sun went down. The cool December Texas weather played a small part in that. Overall we feel the price quoted was very fair and the work performed was very professional. I appreciate the lifetime warranty and the follow up attention paid to our family. If you are interested in having this done on your home, don’t hesitate to pull the trigger on having this done.

  Everything went from scheduling to installation as expected. The team did a great job. Back office responds to questions in timely fashion. Small things like this builds confidence with a vendor that you are not gonna likely to use more than once or twice. The project started and completed as promised. I could definitely tell the difference since a few days after the installation there was a cold spell. In my single family home, I have not used my central heating system this year yet. It was sufficient just to use a space heater a few times to get more comfortable. It speaks volumes on the difference this insulation can make especially in houses that are old and the insulation is either inadequate, lacking or simply deteriorated. I was also incentivized to do this work this as opposed to later since the energy efficiency tax credits are due to expire at the end of the year.

  Josh and his other two crew members (forgot their names) were very thorough, very professional, and cleaned up after themselves. That was a very pleasant suprise for me considing they appeared to be in their 20's, and that's not what I usually expect of young men that age. The house they RetroFoamed was built in the late 70's and there were other contractors working on other things at the same time, but they managed to do a really fantastic job and none of the contractors got in anyone else's way. I don't have any energy bills for comparison (yet), but I do expect a big drop when it gets hot next summer. To summarize, I would definately recommend them. Edit1: It's about a month after my insulation was "installed" and I cut a hole in the side of my house to install a doggie door. The section of wall that I opened was retrofoam insulated, but not the bottom 6 inches or so. That's fair, and pretty much what they said to expect when I was quoted. I also have some sections where the expanding foam actually emerged on the outside of the house, so I'm pretty sure it does go all the way to the bottom on at least some sections. I haven't had a month of 100° days yet to compare utility bills, but I will update this review after I do. I'm still very happy with the work they did - just wanted to remind you that it might not be 100% floor to ceiling depending on your existing insulation. Bottom line - yea, I'd still recommend them. I'll update this review next September, maybe October - in Texas August and September are both brutally hot and expensive utility-wise. If you live in Austin you understand.
