Rigid Foam Insulation

What This Service Involves

Rigid foam panels provide a continuous layer of insulation that stops heat from short-circuiting through framing, a common weak point in older walls. Applied on exteriors, foundations, or beneath slabs, the boards resist moisture and boost overall R-value where cavity insulation alone falls short. We tape seams and detail the panels so the layer also improves air and water management. It's a high-value upgrade for energy performance in our demanding climate.

Benefits

Continuous coverage cuts thermal bridging; Adds significant R-value in thin profiles; Moisture-resistant for below-grade use; Improves air and water control when detailed; Boosts efficiency of the whole assembly

Our Process

1) Determine location and required foam thickness; 2) Prepare and clean the substrate surface; 3) Fasten rigid boards and tape all seams; 4) Detail transitions and protect exposed foam

What Affects the Cost

Board type and thickness selected; Area and location of application; Fastening and seam-taping labor; Protective cladding if exposed; Surface preparation needs

Best Time of Year

Rigid foam installs year-round and is often added during siding, foundation, or remodel work.
