Garage spray foam insulation makes an attached garage stop pulling heat out of the house beside it and above it, and makes a detached garage usable all winter. The work is insured, and the quote separates the ceiling, the shared wall and the outside walls so you can choose what to do.
Most Orillia garages were never insulated because nobody was supposed to live in them. Then a bedroom went over the top, a workshop went into the corner, and the mudroom on the other side of the wall became the coldest room in the house. Foam fixes the specific surfaces that matter rather than the whole box.
The bonus room above a two-car garage in West Ridge or Westmount has a floor over unheated space, usually a cantilevered front wall, and the longest duct run in the house. Cold air moves through the garage ceiling and around the joist ends all winter. Closed cell spray foam insulation sprayed to the underside of that ceiling, with the joist ends and the cantilever sealed, brings the room to the same temperature as the rest of the second floor. It also stops exhaust and gasoline vapour from moving up into the bedroom, which matters more than the comfort.
The wall between the garage and the house is usually framed like an interior wall with a batt pushed into it. Air moves through it freely, and the mudroom, the laundry room or the kitchen on the other side pays for it. Foam in that wall seals the air path and insulates it properly. Where the wall is already drywalled on the garage side and staying that way, we look at the rim joist and the ceiling first, because that is usually where most of the leak is.
A detached garage on a city lot or a shop out in Oro-Medonte becomes a heated space once its walls and roof are sprayed. Closed cell spray foam insulation goes directly onto the sheathing between the studs and the rafters, stiffens the building and seals it in the same pass. Two inches on the walls and three on the roof deck is a common spec; the quote states the thickness we recommend and the covering that Ontario's code requires over foam in an occupied space.
An insulated garage with an uninsulated door still leaks most of its heat through the door. We do not sell doors. We will tell you honestly whether the door is the bigger problem before you spend money on the walls, and price the walls anyway so you have the number when you are ready.
A garage ceiling is usually a half-day job and a full garage is a day. Book the visit or call +1 (705) 805-5871. Bonus rooms and cantilevers are also covered on the new construction page for houses still being built, and the home page covers the rest of the house.
The same closed cell and open cell spray foam insulation goes into every other part of the building.
Attic spray foam insulation seals the air leaks in the ceiling and insulates over them in one visit, which is what stops ice dams and bare roof stripes on Orillia houses. All of our work is fully insured, and the quote is written before anything is sprayed.

Basement spray foam insulation puts closed cell foam directly on the foundation wall, where it insulates, blocks vapour and seals the joint between concrete and wood in one product. The work is insured, and every basement quote names the thickness in writing.

Crawl space spray foam insulation seals the walls and the rim joist with closed cell foam, closes the vents and turns a cold, damp box under the floor into part of the heated house. Insurance covers the work, and the quote covers the ground sheet as well as the foam.

New construction spray foam insulation seals and insulates a new house, addition or cottage while the framing is open, so the envelope is right once and never has to be opened again. Insurance covers the work, and we schedule around the framer, the electrician and the drywall crew.

Closed cell and open cell spray foam insulation are two different products for two different jobs, and choosing the wrong one is the most common mistake we are called to fix around Orillia. All of our work is fully insured, and every quote names which product goes on which surface.

Insulation removal and replacement takes out foam that failed, or batts that got wet or were chewed through, and replaces them with foam installed properly. The work is insured, and we photograph what we remove so the quote shows why.

Cottage and waterfront spray foam insulation turns a seasonal building on Lake Simcoe, Lake Couchiching, Bass Lake or the Severn River into one that can be lived in through an Orillia winter. Insurance covers the work, and the quote is written in the order the work should be done so you can do it in stages.

Commercial, shop and pole barn spray foam insulation sprays closed cell foam straight onto the metal or wood skin of a building, which stops the condensation, stiffens the structure and makes the space possible to heat. The work is insured, and we quote by the square foot at a stated thickness.
View Commercial, Shop and Pole Barn InsulationWe come to the building, measure, and write the quote. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation to go ahead.
Describe the space as well as you can and we will phone to set the visit. The form sends with just a name and a number. If you would rather talk, call +1 (705) 805-5871.
