Retrofit Spray Foam in Bryan County: FAQ
Can you retrofit without opening my walls?
Yes, in most homes. Attics, rim joists, crawl spaces and garage ceilings are reachable without touching finished walls.
Do you remove wet insulation?
Yes. Insulation removal is one of our services, and wet insulation should come out before new work.
Is a retrofit worth it in a coastal home?
Usually, because sealing the attic and crawl space cuts humidity as well as heat.
