Services
Spray Foam Insulation
Our spray foam insulation creates a monolithic air seal that prevents energy loss through cracks and crevices. This high-performance solution provides R-values exceeding 7.0 per inch while acting as both an air and vapor barrier. Ideal for wood and metal-framed buildings, it reduces energy bills by up to 50% and improves indoor air quality by blocking pollutants.
Attic Insulation
We install closed-cell spray foam at the underside of roof rafters to create energy-efficient attics. This method prevents heat transfer while maintaining structural integrity. Our R-30 (4.3") closed-cell applications meet FEMA standards for moisture resistance and provide superior thermal performance in Santa Barbara's climate.
Air Sealing
Our comprehensive air sealing process eliminates drafts by sealing attic floor penetrations and wall plates. Using spray foam and caulk, we target hidden leaks that account for up to 40% of energy loss. This critical step ensures maximum efficiency when combined with proper insulation installation.
Crawl Space Insulation
We apply closed-cell spray foam to crawl space walls and ceilings to prevent moisture intrusion and thermal bridging. This solution creates a conditioned space that maintains stable temperatures while protecting against mold growth. Our installations meet California's strict building code requirements for vapor barriers.
Fiberglass Batt Insulation
Our eco-friendly fiberglass batt insulation contains 65-70% recycled content and provides cost-effective thermal performance. Designed for wall and floor systems, this non-combustible material maintains R-value over time without settling. Ideal for applications where soundproofing and fire resistance are primary concerns.
