I didn't think about insulation but met Jesse at Auburn Home show and he offered a thermal inspection. I was impressed that as the owner he was doing shows, doing the inspection, estimating, scheduling of the job, arranged zero financing and was on site managing and ensure it got done right, They sealed all the air leaks around ceiling seams and ceiling lights and we had a ton of them. Sprayed in additional insulation and were in and out fast, no mess no fuss. House is noticeably cooler --i.e, there is little temperature change during the day or night. Before the job we would be running A/C anytime we topped 80. today hit 90 and interior was 74 when I got home with no air. This winter should be nice and cozy.

We couldn’t be happier with the work that Clear Efficiency did on making our home more comfortable and quieter! Other vendors have come through for different jobs and remarked that the attic renovation seemed above and beyond the kind of work they normally see. When I had a couple questions about the job, they didn’t hesitate to come out the same day and help me understand the different aspects of the sealing job they did and how exactly it’s benefiting our energy usage and comfort. A+ 5 out of 5, highly highly recommended.

Had clear efficiency come out in November of 2024 to give quote for attic reseal and new insulation. Don was very professional and explained everything from work to rebates. I then asked about updating my HVAC system in my house and he also went over everything and was not pushy just provided estimates. I was very happy with his service that I got both the attic and HVAC redone with them. Jesse and his team got me right in and worked around my busy work schedule and was even able to get the attic done while I was at work. We did have some hiccups with the rebate for the work but I got all the rebates and I’m very pleased with there quality of work. Would recommend to anyone.

I’m writing this review while the Gold Star crew is finishing up one of my projects. This is as good of an outfit as you’ll find in construction. The office staff was super responsive - Jesse came out to visit the job site twice and addressed every concern and helped make the right insulation decisions when the project underwent a major siding upgrade. The crew of installers were polite and friendly; they fulfilled every request and were meticulous with their work. I also need to mention that the job site was left as clean as they found it. I am happy to have found an insulation pro that I can go back to on future projects. Five Gold Stars all the way.

Two excellent teams to complete the attic insulation. Julio, Arbeno,and Wilzon took out the old insulation. And Neptali and Isidro blown in the fiberglass insulation. Neptali is very helpful, meticulous and knowledgeable in making sure everything is properly sealed for the installation. Thank you for a job well done by both teams.

Alexandria Shankweiler★★★★★a year ago

Excellent service from the 1st phone call. They were right on time, professional and extremely polite. They cleaned up everything when they were done, and the best part is that I could tell a difference in the temperature in my house immediately!! I work remotely and normally my heater turns on and off all day but today my house has stayed at a steady temp and my heater has not come on for hours. On top of all that they had the best price in town.

Evidently they use an answering service, so calling and getting a response is dependent on how well that communication goes.. Doesn't feel like calling them puts you in direct contact. If and when they get back to me (3 days waiting) I'll write an honest review of their services..

Frequently Asked Questions — Spray Foam Insulation in Yuba City

These are the questions Yuba City 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 4 verified Yuba City contractors above for exact quotes.

Does spray foam insulation work well in hot dry climates like Yuba City?▼
Yes — spray foam is highly effective in hot dry climates like Yuba City, CA. 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 Yuba City?▼
In hot dry climates like Yuba City, CA, 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 Yuba City, CA?▼
In Yuba City, CA 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 Yuba City costs $2,000–$6,000. Most Yuba City 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 Yuba City, CA?▼
When searching for a spray foam contractor in Yuba City, CA, 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 Yuba City 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 Yuba City 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.
