I worked with these guys last year and it was a great experience. The customer service was extremely helpful from the time I first contacted until the project was completed. I will work with them again any chance I get.

I’ve used AQI for a number of projects. Every aspect of working with them is seamless. You call, they pick up. You have questions, they have answers. You schedule a date, they show up early ready to work. Another bonus is how quickly they get you on the schedule. In addition to having fantastic customer service, their quality of work is excellent. Lastly, when it’s time to pay there are no surprises. The quote you receive is the amount you are charged, it’s completely transparent. I highly recommend AQI. I will continue to use them for all of my builds.

I highly recommend Ely's for insulation work. They are knowledgeable and professional. They added extra, high quality insulation to our existing roof, and did a great job. They worked quickly and efficiently, and answered all our questions. Our contractor picked them out for this work, and I'm glad he did.

Jeff and his crew did a phenomenal job on my house. From the vapor barrier to the batts in the floor to the blow in cellulose, they always went above and beyond with a great attitude.

I contacted Jeff at Elys Insulation for a quote on adding insulation to my attic. Imagine my surprise when he actually answered his phone - a live person instead of voice mail! We set up an appointment for him to determine a price, then lo and behold - after the appointment, he actually gave me a price quote that very evening!! I accepted the quote (which was very fair), a date was set for the job, and once again I marveled; he arrived with his crew as scheduled and completed the work in a timely and efficient manner. He is very knowledgeable about his trade. I heartily recommend Jeff Elys. He is professional, helpful, and knows his business. It was a pleasure to work with him. :)

Frequently Asked Questions — Spray Foam Insulation in Fairbanks

Below are common questions Fairbanks, AK homeowners ask about spray foam insulation cost, types, and installation. For local pricing and to compare verified contractors in Fairbanks, browse the listings above.

Is spray foam insulation worth the cost?▼
For most homeowners, yes. Spray foam creates an air-tight seal that traditional insulation cannot match, reducing energy bills by 15–35% annually. It also adds structural rigidity, acts as a moisture and vapor barrier, reduces outside noise, and can increase home resale value. The higher upfront cost compared to fiberglass is typically recovered within 3–7 years. One important note: because spray foam creates a very tight building envelope, proper mechanical ventilation is important to maintain healthy indoor air quality and prevent interior moisture buildup. This is typically handled by an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) — a system that brings fresh outside air in while pushing stale air out, recovering the energy from the outgoing air so you don't waste what you paid to heat or cool — or a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV), which works similarly but is optimized for cold climates. A qualified contractor will assess whether your home needs ventilation upgrades as part of the installation.
How much does spray foam insulation cost in Fairbanks, AK?▼
In Fairbanks, AK and the surrounding area, spray foam insulation typically costs $1.00–$3.00 per square foot installed, depending on the type and your home's specifics. Open-cell foam runs $0.44–$0.65 per board foot, while closed-cell foam costs $1.00–$2.00 per board foot. A typical 2,000 sq ft home attic in Fairbanks costs $2,000–$6,000. Most Fairbanks homeowners recoup this investment within 3–7 years through energy savings of 15–35% annually.
What is the difference between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam?▼
Open-cell spray foam is softer, less dense, and less expensive. It expands significantly and is ideal for interior walls, attics, and soundproofing. Closed-cell spray foam is denser, stronger, and provides a moisture barrier — making it better for exterior applications, crawl spaces, and areas prone to flooding or humidity. Closed-cell also has a higher R-value per inch (R-6 to R-7 vs R-3.5 to R-4 for open-cell). One key difference: open-cell foam allows some vapor movement, while closed-cell acts as a vapor barrier — an important consideration for your home's ventilation needs.
How long does spray foam insulation last?▼
Spray foam insulation is one of the most durable insulation options available, with a lifespan of 80+ years when properly installed. Unlike fiberglass batting which can sag and settle over time, spray foam maintains its shape and insulating properties indefinitely. It will typically outlast the building it is installed in.
How do I find a qualified spray foam insulation contractor in Fairbanks, AK?▼
When searching for a spray foam contractor in Fairbanks, AK, look for ones who are licensed, insured, and have verifiable reviews. Spray foam requires specialized equipment and training — improper installation can cause off-gassing, adhesion failure, or fire hazards. Ask for references, verify their insurance, and get at least 2–3 quotes. A qualified Fairbanks contractor will also assess your home's ventilation needs — a tightly sealed spray foam installation requires adequate mechanical ventilation to prevent moisture and indoor air quality issues. FoamMatch pre-screens all listed contractors in Fairbanks for licensing and insurance so you can compare verified professionals in your area.
How long does spray foam installation take?▼
Most residential spray foam jobs take 1–2 days depending on the size of the area. A standard attic takes 4–8 hours. After spraying, the foam cures within 24 hours, though most contractors recommend waiting 24–72 hours before occupying the space due to off-gassing during the curing process.
Does spray foam insulation need to be replaced?▼
No — spray foam insulation does not need to be replaced under normal circumstances. Unlike fiberglass insulation which degrades over time, spray foam maintains its R-value and air sealing properties for the life of the building. The only reasons to remove or replace spray foam are water damage, renovation work, or improper original installation.
