We recently hired Illinois Insulators in Downers Grove, Illinois, for insulation and mold remediation, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, their team led by John was professional, thorough, and highly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the entire process, answered all our questions and addressed all our concerns. The insulation work was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail. We noticed an improvement in comfort almost immediately. Their mold remediation services were equally outstanding—meticulous, safe, and effective. They addressed the issue at its source and left the space spotless and healthy. What stood out most was the team’s courtesy and respect for our home. They arrived on time, worked cleanly, and treated the job with true care and expertise, and afterwards left our home as spotless as it was before they started. It’s rare to find a company that combines quality workmanship with outstanding customer service, but Illinois Insulators delivered on all fronts. We highly recommend them to anyone needing insulation or mold remediation. Exceptional work and a great experience from beginning to end!

Our experience with Illinois Insulators was all positive. They came on time, did their job efficiently, cleaned up perfectly and both John and Liam were very nice and polite. Their prices were great and if we ever needed their services again we would definitely call them. We would like to give an extra shout out to Liam for going above and beyond to make sure this picky woman was pleased with the job he did! Highly recommend!

Benny and John did a fantastic job fixing the insulation in our attic and sealing it from the outside elements. Their team was communicative and timely with the insulation. I felt a massive difference in the temperature on the second story within 2 hours of them completing the job and look forward to lower future energy bills.

Joe from Gasca Spray Foam inspected my house, gave a detailed explanation about how energy is lost in a home, answered all of my questions, then proceeded with an equally detailed explanation of what would be required to remedy the situation. Very impressive. I asked if there was a more inexpensive option. He said unfortunately, no. Upon further research, it solidified exactly what Joe had explained to me. There is a well established science to correcting home energy loss. This was clearly a company with integrity. I’m happy to say that the install was every bit as impressive as our initial meeting. The consistency of the temperature in my house, upstairs & downstairs, as well as the duration of the comfort zone has dramatically improved. My furnace must think it’s on vacation. Joe, Nick, & George are not only experts in their field as evidenced by the work they performed at my house, they are also incredibly nice people. I highly recommend this company.

Vicki Nguyen★★★★★3 years ago

Great quality service from the friendliest people! Gasca Construction did an awesome job with spray foaming my attic. My energy bill immediately and drastically reduced and the temperature in my home feels so nice. Joe Gasca did the spraying and the foam application is so smooth unlike other jobs I’ve seen posted on Facebook which would appear all lumpy. They also respected my home and made sure they cleaned up well after they finished. They were fast with scheduling and patient with my many questions. Spray foam insulation is one of the best investments I’ve ever made. And I’m so glad I had the right people with the best quality product. I can’t wait to have them come again when it’s time to replace my roof. Thank you guys for being so awesome!

I hired Gasca to do a drywall, tape and paint job for a condo bathroom. Our association never used them so when they finished the job, the owner having the work done sent me a text saying “They did a superb job and he was very impressed with the work”. Gasca will remain on our condo association’s vendor list for future work.

Prior to contacting Koala, a couple other companies were contacted concerning what needed to be done. I knew exactly what I wanted from the service for what needed to be foamed. Let's just say, while speaking with Adam from Koala, he agreed with what was needed, gave a reasonable price, therefore I booked the appointment. Mark came out 7am ready. Thank you Mark. The fantastic crew came by 7:30am. They completed the task. Looked superb, outstanding. Even though Koala has been in business less years than the others I contacted, the main contacts were more understandable, got straight to how they could help and the price was more reasonable than the others. I sincerely recommend Koala Installations.

Shane Wright★★★★★9 months ago

Very happy with the work Adam and his team have done with my attic. I had 4 other companies bid the job and ultimately decided to choose Koala for the job. Adam answered all the questions I had and was easy to work with. I decided to increase my attic insulation to R-60 due to horrible existing insulation, and air seal my attic. Kyle and his team showed up on time, communicated clearly, left my house as clean as before they came and even provided me with pictures of the whole job start to finish which was very nice. Good people, good price, and good results.

It was a pleasure to work with Brian, Andrew, and their family business. I recently had Eco Tec at my home doing wall cavity insulation. My house is over 100 years old and largely stucco exterior, both of which present more challenges, but they were able to do get the job done mostly from the outside. I only had a short turn around time for completion of the work, repair, and clean up. Brian went above and beyond to get my final clean up done by my required deadline - thank you Andrew and Ryan. I want to acknowledge Ruben for his efforts and thorough work getting my drywall repaired, painted and back to normal. Brian is very responsive and has such a friendly, calm and competent attitude. I thought my initial quote was very reasonable considering the scope of the work. My final invoice and payment due amount was really good value. I would definitely recommend Eco Tec Insulation.

Reynoso Insulation did a great job with our second floor. For years, extreme temperatures outside, could be felt inside. This prevented us from even going upstairs in the middle of the Summer because our AC just couldn’t keep up due to the heat. And in the Winters, the heater would work overtime. We finally had enough and searched around for someone to insulate the whole upstairs. Reynoso insulation suggested a contractor to us to cut the drywall. We ended up hiring him. He was confused with the start of the project and showed up a bit late. And to finish the project, wouldn’t show up til 10 some days. But he ended up doing good work in the end. When it comes to the actual company, Reynoso Insulation came on time (8 am) for the days they worked. They worked quickly and efficiently as well as cleaned up nicely. Now, with this Summer’s heatwave, our AC is finally working like it should upstairs. Letting us know that the insulation was a job well done.

I can’t speak highly enough of South Chicago Insulation ( Gasca Brothers) the entire experience from the moment Joe Gasca walked in was fantastic !! Joe was friendly and knowledgeable, he took the time to explain and actually point out a few things we weren’t aware of, that was needed. (the other company failed to tell us) Joe also addressed all my questions that I was concerned with- I felt very confident in my decision having them continue with the work. We will be using South Chicago Insulation again ( roof and spray foam in another location ) I would HIGHLY recommend this company ! Thank you South Chicago Insulation our home will be nice and warm this the winter and months in the future ( definitely will help on gas bill ) Thank you again on a job well done 👍🏼 Erik and Sharon Peterson

When they came out to do the work, circumstances presented themselves a little differently, and it involved a change in plan. They were able to adapt, make it happen and still keep me very satisfied as a customer. Their work was very professional and when they were done they cleaned and it looked like they had never been there! I can highly recommend these guys.

Thermo-Insulation offered the best value of 8 different contractors I had come to look at the project. They were able to schedule me very soon after I made the decision to hire them, and Roberto, Eric, and crew got the entire attic air sealed, baffled, and insulated in one day with minimal disruption to our day. They marked all electrical work in case future work is needed and posted rulers around the attic so that we can see if any part of the insulation begins to compact. Overall, I am very happy with my experience and this project has unquestionably been one of the most impactful upgrades to my home. So thank you to the Thermo-Insulation crew.

We were left in a bit of a pickle after using another company to apply spray foam insulation but didn't apply the specialized fire retardant paint required by code for our storage area. As a commercial product, it is not possible for a consumer to buy just a small amount. Richard responded right away to an inquiry, happily provided me with the gallon I was looking for at essentially his cost, and advised me on how to apply it. There was nothing in it for him except being an honorable and kind human. I would happily trust and patronize this company.

Innovative Insualtion Solutions are the best. They sprayed closed cell foam in our open attic spaces. Communication prior to the project beginning from the office regarding timing and how the job would go was excellent. The crew sent over to my home were even better. They communicated well, showed up on time each day and were respectful of my home...three things that I, as a small business owner, can really appreciate. The owner, Richard Spies, also showed up onsite to make sure all was well and to answer any questions that I had. A really great experience from start to finish.

I contacted Chicago Green Insulation to see if anything could be done to prevent my pipes from freezing again this winter. Tom called me back and was over to inspect my house by the next day. He did a thorough inspection of the areas where I’ve had freezing and went down into the crawl space to see how well it was insulated. It turned out that my crawl space already was insulated but Tom alerted me to several other things I could do to help potentially avoid having my pipes freeze. A couple of his suggestions were ones I could do on my own while others will require professionals to do the work. Tom very nicely offered to help get a quote for one of the jobs with someone in the industry that he has worked with for many years. Although I wasn’t able to hire Tom to provide any insulation work for me, I really appreciate how much he has gone above and beyond, even long after he knew I wasn’t going to need his services.

Devin Franke★★★★★4 months ago

Called Tom to get some perspective on a moisture issue I'm having in my attic. He was very honest and shared that the issue is not something he needs to handle and gave me some technical knowledge and small tips to solve the problem. He generously gave of his time to help me solve the problem for much less money! Very friendly and approachable. Thank you, Tom!

Ryan Schiewe★★★★★5 months ago

Tom, the owner, came out to visit our home on short notice because we were experiencing vastly different temperatures on the 2nd floor of our 1890s home. He took a look at the situation, gauged temperatures, structure, and gave practical, honest alternative solutions to insulation. Since adding insulation would require certain renovations that we weren’t looking to do, Tom suggested dehumidification and hvac modification, and gave the names of reliable professionals from his contacts. He did not try to make a gratuitous sale. He maintained integrity and focused on problem-solving. So if you prefer to work with smart, innovative, and honest companies that truly want to fix the problem, give Chicago Green a call.

Box sills were insulated in October. My home had a mouse problem for the past couple of years and paid a Pest Service (all they did was put bait boxes outside). Found information to insulate your box sills where the small leaks are allowing cold air and pests to come in. Wish I knew about this solution before. Now, absolutely no evidence of mice, spiders, webs, small bugs..... All perfectly and expertly sealed. Basement is warmer and less damp and wood floors above are warmer. ARC Company was excellent. They were easy to talk to and the crew was helpful and knowledgeable. Everything was sealed off and debris expertly removed . Old insulation had some mold AND dead mice.... UGH!!!! Everything was cleaned up and installed perfectly. Crew was professional, courteous and outstanding.... Wasted too much money on Pest Service and should have insulated with ARC . Highly recommend services and crew. Money well spent for great services and results.

Assured is absolutely the way to go. I had the pleasure of working with two extremely professional and sharp-looking gentlemen — Jelani (the assessor) and Hunter (the sales manager). From the moment they arrived, their professionalism stood out. They were respectful, well-spoken, and carried themselves in a way that immediately built trust. Beyond that, they were genuinely kind, personable, and even brought some humor to the appointment, which made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. What I appreciated most was their honesty — they only quoted me for what I actually needed, not what they could try to upsell. Hunter demonstrated a tremendous amount of knowledge and communicated everything in a clear, confident, and professional way. He knows how to sell without ever making you feel pressured or uncomfortable. Jelani was equally impressive, extremely respectful of my home, and handled the ladder and equipment with real care to ensure nothing was scratched or damaged. Their pricing is more than fair, and I truly feel Assured has my best interest in mind. I’m looking forward to having them complete the work, and for anyone shopping around, I highly recommend Assured Energy Solutions. Outstanding service from two top-tier professionals.

Had my attic insulated, some air sealing done, and an HVAC tune-up by the Ruiz brothers at Assured, and everything turned out awesome. The team was super friendly, showed up on time, and explained what they were doing in a way that really made sense. Norman installed a new bath fan as well, and he did a great job with it. The old one wouldn't even turn on, and after the install, he made sure everything was running perfectly before he left. The house feels way more comfortable now, and the HVAC is running smoother than it has in years. They were quick, clean, and really easy to work with. Definitely recommend them if you need insulation or HVAC work. Great crew and solid results!

From the initial quote to the install, Green Attic, was accommodating and fast. Frank came out on May 20 and squeezed up into the attic space. Found black mold on the rafters from poor ventilation due to a broken fan. I appreciated his honesty and recommendations. Ten days later, Edgar and his crew (Omar and Rigoberto) arrived. They did a great job remediating the black mold in the attic, adding thick insulation, baffles and replacing the attic fan with a solar powered fan for continuous attic air exchange. When they finished, Edgar showed me the final air flow and his crew were very respectful of the property, cleaning and tidying up the work area. I would recommend Green Attic to anyone needing mold remidiation and insulation.

We had four Green Attic workers involved over our three day project. The first day Alvaro & Jeff worked diligently at completing the mold remediation and insulation installation. They were polite, hard working and respectful of our home. The second day, Mario completed the initial mudding & sanding of the installation holes.

Frequently Asked Questions — Spray Foam Insulation in Chicago

Why is spray foam insulation especially important in cold climates like Chicago?
In cold climates like Chicago, IL, proper insulation is critical to preventing heat loss, ice dams, and frozen pipes. Spray foam's air-sealing properties stop the cold air infiltration that traditional insulation cannot address. It also prevents the moisture buildup inside walls that leads to mold in cold-weather freeze-thaw cycles. Homeowners in IL typically save 25–35% on heating costs. Note: in tightly sealed homes, proper mechanical ventilation is commonly recommended to maintain fresh air exchange without losing the heat you've paid for.
Does spray foam insulation prevent ice dams in Chicago?
Yes — spray foam insulation is one of the most effective solutions for preventing ice dams in cold climates like Chicago, IL. Ice dams form when heat escapes through a poorly insulated attic, melting snow that refreezes at the eaves. By creating an air-tight thermal barrier in the attic, spray foam eliminates the heat loss that causes ice dams in the first place.
What R-value do I need for spray foam insulation in Chicago?
For cold climates like Chicago, IL, the Department of Energy recommends attic insulation of R-49 to R-60. Closed-cell spray foam provides R-6 to R-7 per inch, meaning 8–10 inches achieves code-minimum performance. Open-cell foam at R-3.5 per inch requires greater thickness. A local contractor familiar with IL building codes can recommend the exact specification for your home.
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?
Spray foam insulation typically costs $1.00–$3.00 per square foot installed, depending on the type and your location. 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 costs $2,000–$6,000. Most 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?
Look for contractors 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 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 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.
