Spray foam insulation and air sealing are investments in your home's comfort, energy efficiency, and durability.

| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Attic Spray Foam Insulation | From $1.50/sq ft | Open-cell foam on the roof deck turns a Rochester attic that builds ice dams into conditioned space. The ductwork ends up inside the envelope. Every estimate lists the R-value target; the thickness per pass; the board footage. |
| Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation | From $1.20/board ft | Two-pound closed-cell foam delivers R-6.5 per inch with its own vapor retarder and real structural stiffening. The right product for basement foundation walls; rim joists; pole barns and any Rochester wall that faces a lake-effect January and a humid August. |
| Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation | From $0.55/board ft | Half-pound open-cell foam air-seals attics and walls at a friendlier price per board foot. Sound dampening between the upper and lower units of a Rochester two-family comes with it. We spell out where it belongs, and where a basement wall calls for closed cell. |
| Wall & Injection Foam Insulation | From $2/sq ft | Injection foam fills closed walls through small drilled ports, no demolition. The retrofit answer for balloon-framed Rochester foursquares; two-family homes and post-war capes with empty cavities. Ports go under a siding course and are patched; fire blocking is checked first. |
| Crawl Space Spray Foam Insulation | From $2,500 | Closed-cell foam on crawl spaces under kitchen additions and sunrooms ends cold lake-effect floors. Moisture problems get fixed first, we never spray over a wet crawl space. |
| Rim Joist & Band Joist Spray Foam | From $650 | Basement rim joists leak more cold air than almost anything in a Rochester house. Closed cell seals every bay along the foundation, the fastest comfort payback. On old Medina sandstone foundations the pass is sized so the stone can dry. |
| Garage Spray Foam Insulation | From $1,200 | Garage ceilings under bonus rooms and shared walls are foam-sealed against July heat and lake-effect cold. Workshop conversions are handled the same way. The difference between a storage box and usable space twelve months a year. |
| Metal Building & Barndominium Spray Foam | From $1.75/sq ft | Closed-cell foam stops a New York pole barn from sweating in spring and frosting inside in winter. Post-frame barns; shops; barndominiums and farm buildings sealed against condensation from Wayne County orchards to Genesee and Livingston farms. |
| Commercial & New Construction Spray Foam | Free commercial estimate | Warehouses; offices; churches and production builders served on schedule. Code-compliant assemblies come with documentation your building department will actually accept. Phased work keeps your operation running from Eastman Business Park to Henrietta and Victor. |
| Insulation Removal | From $950 | Old blown-in and batts vacuumed out before any new foam goes in, never buried. We also cut out failed spray foam; the job most installers will not touch. Vermiculite is common in older Rochester attics and gets flagged for testing; never disturbed. |
| Insulation Replacement & Re-Insulation | From $2,800 | The full reset: old material removed; gaps air-sealed; new foam installed to current code R-values. The right call when insulation is flattened; mouse-fouled; soaked by an ice dam leak or simply twenty years past its job. |
| Air Sealing | From $650 | Top plates, can lights, chimney chases and attic hatches leak the warm air that builds ice dams. We seal them before insulating, the cheapest comfort fix in a Rochester house. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically have lower per-unit costs due to equipment setup and material efficiency. A small attic will cost more per square foot than a 2,000 sq ft attic.
- Foam Type (Closed Cell vs. Open Cell) : Closed cell foam provides superior R-value and moisture resistance, commanding higher prices. Open cell foam is more budget-friendly while still delivering excellent insulation and air sealing benefits.
- Site Accessibility and Complexity : Hard-to-reach areas, tight crawl spaces, or homes with existing insulation removal needs require more labor and time, affecting your final estimate.
- Existing Conditions and Preparation : If insulation removal, mold remediation, or structural repairs are needed before foam application, these add to the project scope and cost.
