Dear prospective client,
I would like to take a moment to share with you some of the unique reasons that set us apart from other companies and ensure you are getting the best possible value as well as the best possible service.
First, we truly are a small “Mom & Pop” business, literally. My wonderful wife and life companion is active behind the scenes answering phones and doing bookwork - all while keeping our three children fed, entertained, and attending sports and extracurricular activities.
– Doing business with us literally helps care for my family.
Second, you are doing business DIRECTLY with the owner. It will only be myself or an apprentice working on your project. This ensures that you are not dealing with an employee who is only “there for the paycheck”, and you can rest assured I will pay attention to details that are important and it is actually MY REPUTATION on the line every step of the way.
– You will not be dealing with a salesperson who has never actually sprayed Foam Insulation!
Third, experience, experience, experience! I have sprayed foam for several years and have a VERY DIVERSE background in construction. I've built homes, done tons of remodeling, and replaced many many roofs. I have found that because of this I can often help foresee challenges and work proactively to ensure that the Foam Application does not cause unforeseen problems for you later in your project.
– You have a seasoned and experienced tradesman, not a rookie on your project.
Fourth, I have well maintained equipment and only use high-quality raw materials, not cheap knock-offs. I can’t express enough how important the equipment is to ensure that the Foam applied to your project is ON-RATIO, and provides CONSISTENT RESULTS. The spray Foam Insulation brands I use are tested and proven by well established and reputable manufacturers. This helps eliminate the risk of “Bad Foam” being applied to your project.
– Quality in, Quality out. It’s that simple
Finally, we provide daily substrate and ratio reporting as well as job conditions documentation. It is absolutely CRITICAL that foam be applied in the proper conditions and that the machinery produces the PROPER RATIO to avoid warranty issues or product failure. By checking and documenting temperature and moisture readings on substrate and ambient air, we are ensuring that...
– Your project will not be completed under compromised conditions!
Sincerely: Shane Reimenschneider - Proprietor

The short and simple answer is NO. The foam itself is the result of mixing two parts (A + B) at a 50/50 ratio. When combined, the two parts interact to create the Polyurethane foam. This reaction causes each part to become inert. They are no longer two liquids,
they are a cured plastic, full of tiny bubbles that create high-performance insulating properties.
The uncured liquids do need to be handled with care but are no more of a
risk than a large container of paint, or motor oil. Pesticides and fertilizers pose a much greater danger and yet these items are on a shelf in nearly every household.
Absolutely! In fact, we often recommend a painted finish in shops, or barns, or other areas where the foam will be left exposed. You might be surprised to know that many commercial buildings including restaurants, museums, and churches have spray foam on their ceilings, and are often painted black, or gray. Some applications may require a
layer of special Thermally protective paint to meet fire codes, but this too can be tinted, or painted over with a custom color if desired.
Today’s modern foam blends typically contain ignition inhibitors to help reduce or eliminate the foam itself catching fire. The temperatures at which foam catches fire are MUCH higher than the temperatures that ignite wood. One fire preventative benefit of spray foam is that by creating a tight air seal it REDUCES the speed at which fire can
spread in some instances by limiting the amount of airflow to the fire.
This can be a little tricky at times, but a good rule of thumb is that 2”-2.5” on walls, and 4”-6” on ceilings/roofs will pass code using closed cell foam. For open cell foam you double that number. Another perspective is that we typically like to see 4” on coolers or Kilns, and 6” on Freezers, or Ice houses. (Next time you buy a bag of ice, check out how
thin the cooler door is: they are filled with Closed Cell Foam, and typically are only 1.5” Thick!).
There are several key reasons, the biggest factor being the actual material itself. Fiberglass is fine strands of glass, which rely on trapped air to insulate. Glass is a poor insulator by itself, whereas Spray Foam is a plastic. Plastic insulates fairly well, and with the addition of tiny bubbles (Cells) inside the plastic that are actually filled with special insulating gases, the difference is quite immense. Add to that the expanding, and sealing
properties which fill every nook and crevice, and we have all the characteristics of a perfect insulation.
