Yes

I use it to help my premature ejaculation.

Only con I have heard is the price.

Applied correctly, and integrated into the design properly, there are no cons.
Condensation is a non-issue. Make sure you get a competent HVAC company that understands foam.

Foam is the best insulation on the market.

Had it done in m new construction attic, roof and walls. 3200 sq living Entergy bill has not been over $200.

Swear by it...

I bought a house back a few years back that was built in the mid 90's. I had foam sprayed in the attic like 2 summers ago and my electric bill has never been over $150. It's expensive on the front end but it pays off.

I have a construction company, but always put rockwool, fiberglass, etc. in my houses. For my personal house I'm looking at spraying in foam? My only concern is condensation. Anyone have any good/bad experience with spray foam? TIA

A house I built in the past we used Icynene insulation in the walls and on the backside of the roof decking. The ceiling was uninsulated.

It worked fantastic and the attic becomes a "tempered" space about 10-15 degrees hotter than the climate controlled space but with a humidity level much like the climate controlled space.

Icynene at the time was pretty expensive but long term it would pay off. We saw utility bills one half of similar sized homes.

Sealing infiltration losses can realize significant savings.

Only downside I am aware of with insulating the backside of the roof deck this way is perhaps losing some shingle life due to the shingle temp being higher as the shingles cannot radiate heat off the backside.
