New home spray foam insulation wraps a new build's walls, rim joists and roof in one step. It helps builders reach the tighter energy and air leakage targets in the current Ontario code.
Builders and custom home owners across Waterloo book us for this work. Full insurance coverage comes with every site, and the written quote breaks out each part of the house.
New homes must meet higher insulation levels than homes built a few years ago, and the code puts more weight on air leakage testing. Basement walls, above-grade walls and ceilings all face tougher targets.
New home spray foam insulation makes those targets easier to hit because the foam is both insulation and an air barrier. A tighter house also tests better on the blower door.
Foam goes in after framing, windows, wiring and plumbing are done and before drywall. We book the spray date with the site supervisor and arrive ready to work. Each area is probed for depth, and we send photos of the readings.
Custom builds on larger lots in Beechwood and Erbsville, and new homes in Vista Hills, often have vaulted ceilings, bonus rooms and complex rooflines. Those spots are hard to fill with batts and easy to fill with foam.
New build walls usually run about $2.50 to $5 per square foot. Many builders keep cost in check with open cell in the attic and closed cell spray foam at the rim joists.
New homes in Ontario now face more weight on air leakage, and many are tested with a blower door before move-in. Batts leave gaps at every outlet and corner, and those gaps show up on the test. New home spray foam insulation seals them as part of the insulation step, so the house is tighter before the drywall even goes up.
A tighter house also needs a smaller furnace and air conditioner, which helps the builder's budget.
An addition on a Westvale or Colonial Acres home has to tie into walls and a roof that were built decades earlier. The joint between old and new is where drafts usually start. New home spray foam insulation seals that joint as well as the new walls, so the addition does not become the cold room in the house.
A vaulted ceiling has only the depth of the rafter to work with, and there is no attic above it. Closed cell foam reaches a high R-value in that shallow space and seals the air at the same time. It is the simplest way to keep a great room or a loft from feeling cold in January and hot in July.

Pairing two of these in one trip means the rig only sets up once.
Attic spray foam insulation is how we keep warm air from rising out of upstairs rooms, by sealing across the attic floor or coating the roof boards from below. It is the quickest way to cut ice dams and cold upstairs bedrooms.

Basement spray foam insulation grips the concrete itself, so humid air never touches the cold wall. It keeps the room warmer in winter and stops the damp smell in summer.

Closed cell spray foam sets hard and blocks moisture, while open cell foam is soft and costs less per inch. Putting each in the right place gets the most value from the job.

Wall spray foam insulation packs the stud cavity from side to side, so there are no gaps for cold air to move through. It is the best way to insulate an outside wall when you have the drywall or plaster off.

With closed cell foam on the rim joist, the wooden band between floor frame and concrete stops leaking air. It takes one day and makes a big difference to basement comfort.

Garage spray foam insulation lets you work in the garage all winter and takes the chill off the bedroom over it. It seals the walls and ceiling against cold air and moisture in one step.
