Vermont winters are long and expensive. If your home feels cold no matter how high you turn up the heat, spray foam insulation seals the gaps that other insulation types miss.
Vermont winters are long and expensive. If your home feels cold no matter how high you turn up the heat, spray foam insulation seals the gaps that other insulation types miss.
Spray foam insulation in South Burlington seals and insulates at the same time, filling gaps that fiberglass and blown-in materials cannot reach, and most residential jobs are completed in one to two days.
Most South Burlington homeowners call us because rooms feel cold, heating bills keep climbing, or ice dams show up on the roof every February. The root cause is usually the same: air is sneaking in and out through gaps that standard insulation does not stop. Spray foam expands to fill those gaps completely, so your furnace is not fighting a losing battle all winter.
If your home is older or you are dealing with a specific problem area like a rim joist or crawl space, spray foam is often the most practical fix. And if you are thinking about attic insulation at the same time, combining both services often produces the biggest improvement in comfort and energy costs.
If your fuel or electric bills have been creeping up year after year and nothing has changed in your home, heat is escaping faster than it should. In South Burlington, where heating costs are already among the highest in the country, even a modest improvement in your home's insulation can produce a noticeable drop in what you pay each winter.
Those thick ridges of ice along the edge of your roof are a direct sign that heat is escaping through your attic and melting snow unevenly. If you have been dealing with ice dams every winter in South Burlington, your insulation is almost certainly inadequate. Left unaddressed, they can force water under your shingles and cause serious damage to ceilings and walls.
If one or two rooms always feel colder than the rest, air is likely getting in through gaps in the walls, floor, or ceiling of those spaces. Run your hand along the baseboards or near electrical outlets on an exterior wall on a cold day. If you feel cool air moving, you have an air sealing problem that spray foam is specifically designed to fix.
Moisture problems in a basement or crawl space often trace back to gaps and cracks that let humid air in from outside. In South Burlington's shoulder seasons, temperature swings cause condensation to form on cold surfaces, leading to mold and wood rot over time. If you notice a musty smell or visible moisture on walls, inadequate insulation in the lower part of your home may be contributing.
We install both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam depending on where it is going and what problem you are solving. For crawl spaces, rim joists, and anywhere moisture is a concern, closed-cell is typically the right choice - it insulates and acts as a moisture barrier in one step. For interior wall cavities and attic applications, closed-cell foam insulation and open-cell both have a place depending on the layout and your goals. A good assessment tells us which type belongs where.
Spray foam is also the most common solution for retrofitting older South Burlington homes that have never had proper air sealing. Many homes built in the 1950s through 1980s have little or no insulation in the rim joist, which is one of the biggest sources of heat loss in a Vermont home. We can address the rim joist, the attic, the crawl space, or the whole envelope - whatever your home needs. If you also want to address your attic insulation at the same time, we can scope both into a single project visit.
Best for crawl spaces, rim joists, basement walls, and any area exposed to moisture or extreme cold - provides the highest R-value per inch and acts as a vapor barrier.
A cost-effective option for interior walls and attic applications where moisture control is handled separately - also provides sound dampening benefits.
One of the highest-impact improvements in older Vermont homes - spray foam fills the gaps around the perimeter of your basement ceiling where most cold air enters.
A comprehensive approach for homeowners who want to address the full thermal envelope - attic, walls, crawl space, and foundation in a coordinated scope.
South Burlington sits in one of the coldest climate zones in the continental United States, where winter temperatures regularly drop well below zero. In that kind of cold, even small gaps around pipes, at the rim joist, or in the attic let in enough frigid air to make rooms feel uncomfortable and drive up your heating bill significantly. A large share of South Burlington's housing stock dates from the 1950s through the 1980s - a period when insulation standards were far lower than they are today. These homes often have little or no insulation in the rim joist and attic insulation that has settled or degraded over time. Spray foam is frequently the most practical solution for retrofitting them because it fills tight, irregular spaces that other materials cannot reach.
We serve homeowners in South Burlington and the surrounding area, including Williston. Whether your home is one of the ranch-style houses off Williston Road or a newer Colonial near Dorset Street, Vermont's climate calls for a higher level of air sealing than most parts of the country. The good news is that Efficiency Vermont offers rebates for insulation upgrades that meet their standards, which can meaningfully reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
We will ask a few basic questions - your home's age, which areas concern you, and whether you have noticed specific problems like drafts or high bills. You can expect a response within one business day.
A technician visits your home, walks through the areas you flagged, and may use a thermal camera to find hidden air leaks. You get a written estimate that breaks down scope and cost before anything is scheduled.
Most residential jobs are completed in a single day. You, your family, and pets will need to be out of the home during installation and for at least 24 hours afterward while the foam cures - your contractor will confirm the exact re-entry time.
When you return, we walk you through the completed work and show you what was done. If your project qualifies for an Efficiency Vermont rebate, we provide the documentation you need to submit your claim.
Free estimates, no obligation. We respond within one business day.
(802) 352-8211We know Efficiency Vermont's rebate program and document every project to meet their requirements. You should not have to leave money on the table because your contractor did not handle the paperwork correctly.
We assess your home first, explain what we found and what we recommend, and give you a written quote. You always know what you are agreeing to before anyone picks up a tool.
Open-cell and closed-cell foam are different products with different jobs. We recommend the correct type for each area of your home rather than defaulting to a single product regardless of what the space actually needs.
South Burlington has a large stock of ranch and split-level homes from the 1950s to 1980s. We work in these homes regularly and know where the problem areas are - rim joists, attic bypasses, and irregular framing that fiberglass batts cannot adequately address. You can learn more from the U.S. Department of Energy's insulation guidance on why proper air sealing matters in cold climates.
Every spray foam job we do is backed by a clear scope, correct product selection, and documentation you can use - whether for an Efficiency Vermont rebate, a home sale, or your own records. That combination is what makes the difference between insulation that performs and insulation that just checks a box.
Bring your attic up to the depth Vermont's cold climate demands and stop the heat loss that causes ice dams and high heating bills.
