Spray foam insulation in Burley ID - a tighter, warmer house with fewer drafts
Drafty rooms, a hot upstairs or cold floors over the crawl space? We seal and insulate with the right foam for each spot.
Is spray foam the right insulation for my Burley house?
Spray foam insulation is foam our crew sprays onto the attic, walls or crawl space of your Burley house, where it expands into the gaps, so it stops drafts while it insulates.
Most calls start with a drafty house, a hot upstairs or a room over the garage that never warms up, and foam is one way to fix that, though it isn't always the best one for attic insulation on its own. The price mostly turns on which foam each space needs, how much area we're covering, how much prep comes first, like pulling out old soaked insulation, and how easy the space is to get into. The schedule turns on that prep and on the time you'll spend out of the house while the foam goes on, and the estimate I write after looking at your house spells out the foam, the area and the prep work.

I started this business here five years ago, after learning the trade on another contractor's crew.
Which spray foam goes where in your house
We pick the foam by what each space has to do, whether that's stopping drafts, keeping moisture out or both, and by where the ductwork and wiring run.

Why homeowners trust Total Burley Spray Foam Insulation
When I come out, I look at the whole space before we talk foam, because foam sprayed over a leak or wet insulation seals the problem in. If something has to be fixed first, like a roof leak or old insulation that needs insulation removal, I'll tell you the job isn't ready yet and put that prep in the estimate.
On the day, our crew masks off whatever shouldn't get foam, seals around can lights, pipes and the attic hatch, and sprays the edges and corners as carefully as the open runs. Before we leave, we clean up and walk you through what was done. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
Spray foam questions we hear in Burley
How much does spray foam insulation cost in Burley, ID?
The price depends on your house, so I give you a figure after I've seen the spaces you want foamed. Closed-cell costs more than open-cell, and bigger areas, thicker coats, tight crawl spaces and prep like pulling out old insulation all add to it. Foam on the gaps with loose fill on top often costs less than foaming everything, and your estimate lists each part so you can see where the money goes.
How do I choose between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam for my walls?
Open-cell foam stops air well but lets water vapor through, while closed-cell foam at the usual thickness slows moisture, so a frame wall sprayed with closed-cell can't dry well to the outside. The choice comes down to how each wall is built and where moisture comes from, and I walk you through that before we settle on either one.
What is the best spray foam for a crawl space or basement?
Open-cell foam is a poor fit below ground in many cases, because it lets moisture pass, so closed-cell is usually the one we look at there. That's why we settle the foam type first on a crawl space or basement job, before thickness or anything else, and sometimes a crawl space vapor barrier belongs in the plan too.
How long do we have to stay out of the house after spray foam insulation?
Plan to be out while the foam is sprayed and for at least 24 hours after, which is what some makers recommend, though the wait can vary by product. The chemicals can cause irritation and, in people who aren't protected, long-term lung problems, so the family stays elsewhere and painters or electricians come on another day. I tell you which product we're using and what its maker asks for, and we set the schedule around that.
Does spray foam need to be covered after it's installed?
Sometimes it does, depending on the foam's maker, which may call for a thermal or ignition barrier, a protective layer placed over the foam. I check what the product we're using needs in your space and put any covering in the estimate, so it isn't a surprise later.
What paperwork should a contractor give me before a home job in Idaho?
Idaho law requires a general contractor to give you a disclosure statement before a contract over $2,000 to alter or repair your home. Ask for it before you sign, along with a written estimate that names the foam, the areas and the prep work.
