Not sure about price but that is defiantly not a diy project.


Why do you say this?

I'm not a builder by trade, but I'm far from a novice at building and DIY. Having said that, I've never done spray foam insulation. It doesn't seem like anything more than time consuming. Or any more challenging than anything else I've been able to do. Do you have an experience as to why you say this.

First of all I’ve seen at least 2 times that experienced contractors ( not foam guys, but people that have been in construction for years ) didn’t spray it correctly and the foam caught on fire. It’s a chemical reaction.
And second it’s a science on how a house should be insulated, if done incorrectly it can and will cause mold and mildew issues..
That’s just my two cents, if you do decide to do it yourself do as much research as you can.

Oh and you can’t, or shouldn’t spray closed cell on roof decks because if the roof leaks it needs to drip through.
