Wonderful service! A very thorough inspection was done of attic with thermal imagery and pictures. Inspection, estimate and installation was done within one week. All questions were answered and thorough explanation given. Mike knows insulation!

JL Wallman★★★★★3 weeks ago

Knowledgeable, showed up when they said, charges matched the estimate, and went beyond the scope of the project by fixing problems they saw along the way. Definitely would recommend to others.

We had Mike come over and inspect our house. He was thorough and honest and did an excellent job of explaining all of the different ways in which we can improve the r value of our house. Very communicative, we used text to go back and forth. On the day his team came over and worked, it went very smoothly. They were here for about 6 hours and there were no issues. Mike's professionalism is something that most businesses should strive for. If Mike ever wanted a side business, he could have one explaining how to do customer service well.

The workers that came out were fast, friendly and respectful of the property. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Nick and Yanna are great people. They came out to view the project (a 48x72 shop in my case) right away, provided a quote and answered all of my questions. We had rain and condensation that slowed us down but they were patient and out there immediately when the roof dried and were able to spray again. They did an incredible job and I can’t say enough about their work ethic. I would absolutely use Advanced Spray Foam again.

Benjamin Hintz★★★★★2 years ago

Yanna and Nick were very flexible and accomodating with insulating our tiny house. We've only needed a small space heater to heat the whole space. We can't recommend them enough for your closed cell spray foam needs!

Garrett Richters★★★★★10 months ago

We had Advanced Spray Foam do the roof and gable ends of our garage and it looks even better than we expected. Looking forward to a warm garage for the rest of this winter. They were very reasonably priced, came out to do the project very quickly, and communicated with me regularly. Would highly recommend.

Incredible experience with Evan & Adam! The people that came out to complete the attic project were great at explaining the work they were going to do and even took the time to show me a video of the work that was done (as I cannot access the attic) Will absolutely be using this company again for any home maintenance or improvements that come along.

Franklin Drywall showed up quickly when we called for a consult, and then got the work done within a few days of our original call. Work was done very well, and the price was extremely reasonable. Call them for drywall work, and you won't be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jennifer Conzemius★★★★★4 months ago

I had Curt’s crew repair a very challenging drywall seam in my ceiling. They did a great job. It was not an easy job to complete. I am very happy with the work they did and will use them in the future along with recommending their work to others. Thank you so much!

Loretta H★★★★★a month ago

I have used Franklin Drywall for remodeling twice in the past two years. Curt is very experienced, professional and honest. He has given me a very good price for both jobs. I wanted flat, perfect ceilings, with no texture . And I got them! Aaron's work is absolutely perfect and amazing. True talent and attention to detail. Cares about his product and his work ethic! I highly recommend Franklin Drywall.

Frequently Asked Questions — Spray Foam Insulation in Lincoln

These are the questions Lincoln homeowners ask most about spray foam cost, R-value, and open- vs. closed-cell foam — with context for local pricing and roughly 35% typical energy savings. Compare the 7 verified Lincoln contractors above for exact quotes.

How much can spray foam insulation save on heating and cooling bills in Lincoln?
Homeowners in mixed climates like Lincoln, NE typically see 20–30% reductions in total energy costs after spray foam installation. The savings come from both reduced heating in winter and reduced cooling in summer. The exact savings depend on your home's current insulation, size, and local energy rates, but most homeowners recoup the investment within 3–6 years.
Is spray foam better than fiberglass insulation for homes in Lincoln?
For most homes in Lincoln, NE, spray foam outperforms fiberglass significantly. Fiberglass batts insulate but do not air seal — meaning conditioned air still escapes through gaps. Spray foam both insulates and creates an airtight seal, addressing the root cause of energy loss. While spray foam costs more upfront, the performance difference in mixed climates makes it the better long-term investment for most homeowners.
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 Lincoln, NE?
In Lincoln, NE 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 Lincoln costs $2,000–$6,000. Most Lincoln 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 Lincoln, NE?
When searching for a spray foam contractor in Lincoln, NE, 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 Lincoln 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 Lincoln 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.
