Your attic is the biggest source of energy loss in your home. Spray foam seals it completely.

In winter, the warm air your furnace produces goes straight up into your attic and escapes through gaps around pipes, wiring, light fixtures, HVAC ducts, and the attic hatch. In summer, the Alabama sun bakes your roof and turns your attic into a 140-degree oven that radiates heat down into your living space. Your air conditioner fights that heat all day long.
The Department of Energy estimates that 25-40% of a home's energy is lost through the attic. In a typical Huntsville home, that translates to hundreds of dollars per year in wasted heating and cooling costs. If your attic has fiberglass batts that were installed when the house was built, they have almost certainly degraded. Fiberglass sags over time, compresses where people have walked on it, and does nothing to stop air movement through the gaps it sits over.
Spray foam insulation eliminates all of these problems. When we spray foam your attic, the foam expands to fill every crack, seam, gap, and penetration in the attic floor or roofline. Air infiltration stops completely. Your HVAC system runs less. Your home stays at a more consistent temperature from room to room and floor to floor.
This is the most common approach for existing Huntsville homes. We spray open-cell foam across the attic floor, sealing the barrier between your conditioned living space and the unconditioned attic above. The attic stays vented to the outside, which allows moisture to escape. This method is cost-effective and works well when your HVAC equipment and ductwork are not in the attic.
If your HVAC system, ductwork, or water heater is located in the attic (which is common in newer Huntsville subdivisions), insulating the roofline makes more sense. We spray closed-cell or open-cell foam directly to the underside of the roof deck, bringing the attic inside your home's thermal envelope. Your HVAC equipment now operates in conditioned space instead of a 140-degree attic, which improves efficiency dramatically and extends the life of your equipment.
The process starts with a free on-site evaluation. We inspect your current insulation, check for air leaks, assess the condition of your attic, and measure the space. You get a clear, written quote the same day in most cases.
On installation day, our crew prepares the work area by covering floors and furniture below the attic access. We remove old insulation if needed, then apply the spray foam. Most attic jobs are completed in four to six hours. The foam cures within 24 hours. You can stay in your home during the entire process.
After installation, many homeowners notice the difference the same evening. The house holds temperature better, rooms that were previously uncomfortable become livable, and the HVAC system cycles less frequently.
If you notice any of these issues, your attic insulation is likely part of the problem: rooms on the upper floor are noticeably hotter or colder than the rest of the house, your energy bills have increased over the past few years without explanation, ice dams form on your roof in winter, your HVAC system runs constantly, you see daylight through gaps in the attic floor, or your attic insulation is flat, discolored, or less than 10 inches deep.
If any of that sounds familiar, call us at (256) 203-4490 for a free attic evaluation. We will tell you exactly what's going on and whether spray foam makes sense for your situation. No pressure, no obligation.
We serve Huntsville, Madison, Decatur, and all of North Alabama.
