Old insulation lets heat pour out and cold air sneak in. Open-cell foam fills every gap so your Vermont home stays warm and your bills go down.
Open-cell foam insulation in South Burlington, VT expands to fill gaps, cracks, and irregular spaces in attics and walls while acting as an air barrier at the same time, and most residential jobs are completed in one to two days.
Open-cell foam insulation is one of the most effective upgrades for South Burlington homes built before modern air-sealing standards existed. It gets into the small pathways around wires, pipes, and framing that let cold air move freely through your walls - spaces that fiberglass batts simply leave open. The result is a home that holds heat more consistently through a Vermont winter.
If your home also has older attic insulation that has settled or compressed, pairing open-cell foam with a full commercial insulation assessment - or exploring spray foam insulation options more broadly - can help you get the full picture of what your home needs.
If your fuel or electric bills have been creeping up year over year but your habits have not changed, your home is likely losing heat faster than it should. In South Burlington's climate, even a modest improvement in insulation can translate to meaningful annual savings. This is one of the clearest signs your current insulation is no longer doing its job.
If a bedroom over the garage or the back corner of your house never catches up with the thermostat in January, that is a strong signal cold air is getting in somewhere nearby. In older South Burlington homes built before modern air-sealing standards, gaps in framing and around pipes are often the culprit. Open-cell foam fills those hidden pathways and evens out temperatures across the whole home.
Hold your hand near an electrical outlet on an exterior wall on a cold day. If you feel a draft, air is moving through your wall cavity. This is extremely common in South Burlington homes built before the 1990s. Spray foam addresses this directly by filling the gaps that let outside air travel through the wall.
Ice dams form when heat escaping through your attic melts snow on the roof, which then refreezes at the cold eaves. In South Burlington, where heavy snowfall is common, ice dams can cause serious water damage to ceilings and walls. Properly insulating and air-sealing your attic is one of the most effective ways to prevent them.
We install open-cell spray foam in attics, wall cavities, and above-grade living spaces throughout South Burlington and the surrounding area. Our crew sizes every job to Vermont's energy code requirements, which set specific insulation depths for a climate this demanding. Before we spray a single inch, we assess the space, note any existing insulation that needs to be addressed, and walk you through exactly what we plan to do and why.
For homes where some spaces call for a different approach - like a basement or crawl space where moisture resistance matters more - we can also discuss commercial insulation solutions or the benefits of spray foam insulation more broadly. The goal is always the right material in the right place, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
Best for homeowners with older attic insulation that has settled, thin spots near eaves, or a history of ice dams.
Best for homes with drafty exterior walls, uneven room temperatures, or walls that have never been properly air-sealed.
Best for homeowners who want to address both heat loss and air infiltration in a single project, reducing disruption and cost.
Best for homeowners looking to maximize Efficiency Vermont incentives by bundling insulation and air sealing into a qualifying scope of work.
South Burlington sits in a climate zone where Vermont winters regularly push temperatures well below zero, and the state's energy code requires insulation depths higher than most of the country. A large share of the residential neighborhoods here were built in the 1950s through 1980s, before modern air-sealing practices existed. That means homes from that era typically have dozens of small gaps around pipes, wires, and framing that let cold air move freely. Open-cell foam is particularly well-suited to these homes because it fills the irregular spaces that batts and blown-in material cannot reach. Efficiency Vermont also offers rebates for qualifying insulation upgrades, which can meaningfully reduce the upfront cost of a project.
We work throughout the South Burlington area and in nearby communities. Homeowners in Williston, VT and Shelburne, VT deal with the same cold-climate challenges and aging housing stock, and we bring the same Vermont-specific knowledge to every job across our service area. Cold weather during installation requires heating the chemical drums and the work area to ensure the foam bonds and cures correctly - that is something we plan for on every winter and early spring job.
Contact us by phone or through the form and we will get back to you within one business day. We ask a few questions about your home's age, the areas you want insulated, and any comfort problems you have noticed.
We visit your home to look at attic depth, wall conditions, and existing insulation. This is also where we identify air-sealing opportunities and measure spaces accurately so your estimate reflects what the job actually requires.
You receive a written estimate that spells out the scope, the foam depth, and the total cost. We identify which Efficiency Vermont rebates apply to your project at this stage so there are no surprises later.
Our crew arrives, sets up protective sheeting, and sprays the foam in sections. Before we leave we walk through the completed work with you and confirm the foam meets Vermont's required depth throughout.

(802) 352-8211Vermont sets specific minimum insulation depths for a Climate Zone 6 region, and we size every open-cell foam job to meet them. You get written documentation of what was installed so the work passes inspection and qualifies for rebates.
Efficiency Vermont offers rebates for qualifying insulation and air sealing upgrades, and we help you apply. We know which project scopes qualify and how to document the work correctly - so you capture every dollar you are entitled to.
Spray foam chemicals need to be within a specific temperature range to bond and cure correctly. Our crew heats chemical drums and work areas during cold-weather jobs, a detail that separates contractors who work here year-round from those who do not.
We assess your home and recommend what it actually needs. If open-cell foam is not the right choice for a particular space - like a below-grade basement - we will tell you and explain why, rather than selling you the same product everywhere.
Every one of these points comes back to one thing: a job done right the first time. For more on safety and installation standards, the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance and the U.S. Department of Energy are two reliable resources. We back our work with written documentation so you can verify exactly what was installed, when, and at what depth.
