Gave a quick estimate and they were prompt and professional. They had to work from two separate locations in the house and were still able to finish in a hour and a half. Would use them again.

Perfection Insulation came out and completed the blown in insulation installation in a reasonable time and cleaned up after themselves once they were done. My upstairs is much more comfortable now since they added the insulation to the proper depth. I really appreciate these guys!

Tim Conway★★★★★a year ago

Wesley was fast to come out and give a quote after doing a thorough assessment of my current insulation and beat the price of two local competitors by a good bit! He scheduled a day to come blow insulation in my attic the day after I called to give him the go ahead. He did a great job providing even coverage in my attic and cleaned up afterwards. Very professional, friendly and courteous while in my home. I would recommend him to anyone needing more insulation in their home.

Isbell recently screened our entire back porch in and we love it! Keith was amazing to work with. We had a certain look we wanted and a fireplace we had to work around. Keith and his team worked to give us exactly what we wanted and with quality work! I would recommend them anytime for screening in porches and other services they offer! Thanks again

I should have read the reviews prior since I see someone else had the exact same problem as me., but this is who my contractor recommended so I went with it. I do not recommend using them. They installed shelving for my closet and the next day the shelves went through my wall of my new home causing two huge holes. They installed the shelves on the sheetrock and not the studs. Tommy blamed Closetmaid and said this had NEVER happened before, but based on the reviews I see that was a lie. After 3 weeks, they finally found a random guy (luckily a nice Christian man) to come out and do the repairs to the sheetrock. I had to miss work two days to be available for him to come out. I also had to be home prior for Tommy to come and inspect the damage. I also noticed several more holes in my wall that I informed them about and they said "Oh the guys just misdrilled". However, no one told me about them or offered to fix it. They were just hoping I wouldn't see it. I paid them to re-hang a mirror in one of my bathrooms and they just put a nail in the wall that was already there and placed it back. So I had to pay to have that re-done. I have 2 shelves that are shaking. Tommy promised to come back out "on his way home" to install more support rods and that was over 2 weeks ago and I haven't heard from him since. Meanwhile, they are sending me nice nasty emails and invoices in the mail requesting payment. If this is the only company you have, I strongly recommend to DIY. You will save yourself some trouble and a botch job. I was also not impressed at all with the level of professionalism once I notified them of the issue. Angela kept telling me a manager would call me and to be patient with them. After a week, they finally did. Tommy implied several times that he didn't know who could fix the damage. I had to offer suggestions of finding a drywall contractor. He acted as if he didn't have any resources and took a week to find someone to come and do the repairs after me calling them multiple times to check the status.

I want to know why I have been mislead concerning the installation of the insulation in my basement ceiling.!! Installer came out to do job, issues with the R value… didn’t have what I wanted. Had something thicker, was not going to fit in space. Was told by salesman, but was not informed of the thickness issue. I don’t know why they didn’t know they did not have the R30 I requested. The installer did not finish. Most people expect them to come back the following day, NOPE !! I ask salesman when to expect him ( at 9:59 am) he finally got back in touch at 10:26am. He said he was trying to reach him… after an hour passed I ask if there was an issue. He called me, telling me he KNEW the job was not complete. The scheduler had sent installer to another job even after they had been told that my basement was not finished. I have called the office once at 11:40 am and again at 2:42 pm, left number both times. Apparently I am not important enough to call back. So I am going to be left with an incomplete job?? I am rather annoyed that I can’t get in touch with anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions — Spray Foam Insulation in Tuscaloosa

These are the questions Tuscaloosa homeowners ask most about spray foam cost, R-value, and open- vs. closed-cell foam — with context for local pricing and roughly 27% typical energy savings. Compare the 3 verified Tuscaloosa contractors above for exact quotes.

Does spray foam insulation work well in hot dry climates like Tuscaloosa?▼
Yes — spray foam is highly effective in hot dry climates like Tuscaloosa, AL. While moisture control is less of a concern than in humid climates, the air sealing properties are critical for keeping hot desert air out and cooled air in. In extreme heat climates, an unsealed attic can reach 150°F+, dramatically increasing AC load. Spray foam in the attic can reduce attic temperatures by 30–40°F.
What is the best area of my home to insulate in Tuscaloosa?▼
In hot dry climates like Tuscaloosa, AL, the attic is typically the highest-impact area to spray foam insulate. Desert sun heats roofs to extreme temperatures, and an uninsulated attic transfers that heat directly into your living space. After the attic, crawl spaces and rim joists are the next highest-impact areas. A local contractor can perform an energy audit to identify where your home loses the most conditioned air.
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 Tuscaloosa, AL?▼
In Tuscaloosa, AL 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 Tuscaloosa costs $2,000–$6,000. Most Tuscaloosa 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 Tuscaloosa, AL?▼
When searching for a spray foam contractor in Tuscaloosa, AL, 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 Tuscaloosa 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 Tuscaloosa 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.
