Why Should I Go Airtight?
Building an AirTight Home is a professional approach
to identify building envelope performance improvements that add value through
reduced life cycle costs and improved sustainability. Adding an advanced
insulation system is necessary to achieve optimal building performance
objectives.
Insulation should add value to energy savings, sustainability, air quality,
safety, durability and comfort. Creating an "airtight" building through the
installation of spray foam insulation, caulking and weather stripping is the
fastest way to reduce energy consumption, improve indoor air quality and
maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
The economic value of spray foam insulation lasts over the lifetime of a
building to maintain the environmental needs of future generations.
When shopping for a home, families and individuals are trying to find the best possible investment and comfort in
their new home. During the sale of your home, be sure to advertise the benefits of having an AirTight Home.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST???
That is the question isn't it... And to make the answer short... $0.70-$1.10 per sq ft/inch... But if you are just calling around to see what everyones price per sq foot is, then you could be paying more for your project then you really have to. Let us explain...
If someone calls looking for a sq ft price, that means that they are going to get there "estimates" over the phone. So it is in the best interest of the contractor to throw out a low sq ft price so that it ensures his foot in the door on the real project estimate. The problem is, the guys that are charging $1.00 per sq ft/inch are going in and measuring the space, then deducting from the total sq feet the windows, doors, unsprayable spaces, and they are probably going to make sure they use a low rise canned foam for around windows and in small spaces that cannot be sprayed with the gun. The guys that throw out the $0.70 per sq ft/inch are going to come in and measure the same space, but they may not deduct any of the windows, doors, unsprayable spaces, or do anything around the window jams. So what you are paying is really the same no matter what company you go with. The foam material cost is almost the same for everyone in the business, there are no real cut throat suppliers out there selling foam for substantially less then another. And most of the overhead of the applicators is similar. So what you are really paying for is the application. Go with a company that is professional, clean, certified, and stands behind their application.

Proof Of Savings With Spray Foam!!!
This is a graph of how much the furnace ran (red graph at bottom of picture) based on the outside temp (black line) and set indoor temp (green line). This was before the spray foam was applied to vented attic.
