A. Ramos construction did a fantastic job. Roberto, Gonzalo, and the rest of the team were great to work with. Reliable, respectful, on time, and always communicated what was going to happen. Roberto kept in contact about changes in weather and letting us know what he found at each stage of the project. The price quoted was reasonable and the work that they provided was above and beyond. The quality of work and cleanliness of their team was pleasantly unexpected. Everyone was polite and professional. Any questions or concerns that we had were quickly addressed and taken care of. We will be hiring them again for all of our repairs and maintenance.

A Ramos Construction is a professional, Dependable company. We called them late at night and the owner Roberto Ramos answered and was very pleasant to speak with. I told him about our problem with the over flowing toilet that damaged 5 rooms. Right away he sent his guy Gonzalo Chayrez to meet with us with in a few days. Gonzalo was very friendly and professional, dependable. He pointed out somethings that he noticed that needed to be addressed to the insurance company. He spend over 3 hours really giving those rooms a good inspection. His report was 20 detailed pages long and included 80 pages of images to go along with that as well as his 2 drawings that he made into computer images of the layout of our home. I was very impressed with GONZALOS work. He was very friendly and went right to doing his job. He even shared pictures with me of other work that they had done on jobs as it's always good to see those images to be comfortable about work being done to your house. The images looked nice. I even checked out their website for more images. A Ramos has been the 2nd company to do a nice theral job! The nicest thing is we didn't have to wait long for our estimate during Gonzalos Chayez, busy schedule he was able to get it to us. If your looking to get a bid/estimate you can't go wrong with this company. We have been waiting to get this project moving for 3 months now. The insurance wanted 3 bids before they would settle. All three bids were pretty much on the nose for the damage done to our home. I want to Thank Gonzalo Chayez for doing a nice job! I wanted to post the drawings but no option for that. He measured and drew the upstairs and down stairs area. It is a nice drawing and explains things well.

We recently completed a commercial project in the City of Niagara Falls with United Thermal Systems. I would like to commend the efforts of the entire company in with their professional mannerisms. From the initial start of the project, they were there to assist with their extensive knowledge of the foam insulation systems and the standard building code requirements, to assure a successful completion. When U.T.S arrived on site, we were immediately greeted by 3 gentlemen. They were highly professional in their mannerisms and their immediate knowledge of the scope of work & how they were going to proceed. They take great pride in their work, through any means necessary to accomplish it. Hard-working, dedicated & knowledgeable employees that work for U.T.S. Would highly recommend establishing a line of communication with Larry, to ensure that you will be getting exactly what your project requires. He will offer great assistance to your project needs & offers many suggestions to ensure a quality job from start to finish. Thank you, Larry.

Excellent experience working with Evan at Hughesco! Evan guided the process with knowledge and skill. I’d rate 10 stars, if possible. The level of support was everything a customer seeks and needs. All questions were answered. Any concerns quickly resolved. Through Evan’s guidance, we were able to proceed with the NYSERDA’s electrical upgrade and heat pump dryer incentive, smoothly. It made an otherwise daunting and confusing process understandable and possible. So happy and highly recommend!!

Evan was a pleasure to work with, responsive and friendly and helped make the process for heat pump and electrical upgrade incentives through NYSERDA as smooth as possible. He went above and beyond to resolve an unforeseen issue with the new heat pump technology after it was installed and it is working great! Definitely recommend!

I should start with fact that I'm a building inspector. I see every level of workmanship... or lack thereof. We bought a derelict house to fix up and help restore a neighborhood. We knew it would be an uphill battle. When we removed the drywall to insulate, it was apparent that every stud cavity dimension was different. Spray foam insulation wasn't in the budget, but it was the only viable solution. We obtained six quotes for the roof, walls, and band joists. Derek Minscher(?) from MIG gave us a quote, plus great advice and helped obtain a grant to offset the emergency in our budget. The crew they sent to apply the spray foam was amazing. George (pretty sure it was really Jorge) and James got straight to work, protected every surface and made certain conditions were optimal for the application. James sprayed and George made sure that there was no spray anywhere but where it belonged. These guys worked hard and efficiently- every move was measured. They worked steadily, politely and without comment or complaint. They were a finely tuned machine. I'm used to being underwhelmed lately, so getting this effort was a really big deal. After witnessing their professionalism, I had the same crew insulate an addition on my own home. I recommend, without reservation, MIG for closed cell insulation.

Lindsay Penrose★★★★★5 months ago

MIG helped remove and reinsulate my attic. They were fast and efficient. They also offer low rates and helped me keep the cost down. Derek was my rep and he was excellent to work with. Responded fast and was kind. I highly recommend their services. I will be using them again for my fireplace. Thank you MIG!

Frequently Asked Questions — Spray Foam Insulation in Buffalo

These are the questions Buffalo 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 Buffalo contractors above for exact quotes.

How much can spray foam insulation save on heating and cooling bills in Buffalo?▼
Homeowners in mixed climates like Buffalo, NY 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 Buffalo?▼
For most homes in Buffalo, NY, 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 Buffalo, NY?▼
In Buffalo, NY 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 Buffalo costs $2,000–$6,000. Most Buffalo 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 Buffalo, NY?▼
When searching for a spray foam contractor in Buffalo, NY, 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 Buffalo 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 Buffalo 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.
