Spray Foam Insulation in Buffalo, NY

Our contractor recommended that we use closed cell spray foam insulation to help solve the problem with ice damming that had caused extensive damage to 3 rooms of our house. Although, we had the best insurance plan with our company - full replacement at today's market value - it took several years of fighting them to get our claim settled. As a result, we had to undergo mold mitigation. Since our walls and ceilings were stripped down to the studs and rafters because of this, new insulation was going to be required. I received 4 quotes and decided to use Buffalo Spray Foam Insulation, a smaller company than the rest. Zach Miller is the owner, which has been in business for 5 years. He personally comes out to do the work himself. He had worked for one of the firms from which we had received a quote and told us he had learned a great deal during his time there. I didn't use that company because they were insisting on using open cell spray foam, which is not what was needed. Zach also took many classes and is certified in the closed cell process. I was impressed by his knowledge and explanation of both the product and the process to us. He was able to get the work done in a timely manner, which was important to me. One of the companies had a 12-week waiting period. The application is messy and has an odor. All the rooms were sealed, ventilated, and belongings were covered. Afterwards, all the rooms were thoroughly cleaned. We were able to stay in our house the entire time. They arrived promptly at 8 a.m. and were finished by 1:30. I was told to leave windows open afterwards to remove any remaining odors, which I did. The next day, there was a slightly fishy smell in my house and I contacted Zach to see if this was due to the foam. He said it probably was and to continue to leave windows open. If that didn't work, he would bring large fans out to help. It wasn't necessary because the smell was gone the next day. However, Zach followed up on his own to make sure that we weren't experiencing any more odor. Not only were his prices the most reasonable (Spray foam is more expensive than traditional fiberglass batting.), his personalized attention to every detail was impressive. The end result is outstanding. Zach told me that this was his company and he tried to do things as he would want them done in his own home since it was his name on the business. For many of the "big firms," this is just another job. For Buffalo Spray Foam Insulation, it's personal and that makes all the difference in the world! I couldn't give them a higher recommendation!

the Owner, Zach, was very personable, flexible, and easy to work with! I had alot of questions about the install process and which specific products were being used and he was always made himself available when needed to answer them. He was very communicative every step of the way: From the time of him coming out to do the original bid, to scheduling the job and his crew coming out to perform the work. I had a couple scheduling issues on my end due to prior work not being completed when it was supposed to be and he was very flexible to work around that. Day of install went great and very pleased with the result. Joey, the installer, you can tell takes his profession seriously and is very dedicated to his craft. He had a high attention to the details which was great to see. You could tell by his application process and the result that he is very skilled at what he does and has been in the trade for quite some time. Their prep work and cleanup was especially good. They left the area as clean as when they started and were careful with the prep work to cover windows and any exposed plumbing or other fixtures that could not get spray foam on. There was a hairline crack in my upstairs wall where they were working that no one noticed and when they filled the wall in with foam a tiny bit of overspray went through the crack and speckled and old piece of furniture in my sitting room below. Joey the installer, informed me and was very apologetic. I told him it wasn't a big deal and wasn't worried about it at all but thanked him for letting me know. I then later received a call directly from Zach the owner to touch base about the situation which I didn't expect. He offered to replace the couch or do whatever was needed to correct the mistake. Again, none of that was necessary but I did appreciate the call and him offering to fix the situation... I feel like that is hard to come by from contractors nowadays! That made me as a client feel valued and went a long way to show his integrity as a business owner and caring about upholding a good reputation and name. Zach, the owner then came out again after the work was completed to collect payment and check/inspect his crews work to make sure it was up to his standard. He even left me with 4 cans of touch up spray foam and a gun, at no cost. for other areas of my house I could seal up that wasnt part of the area they were contracted to do. Again, a nice gesture that I appreciated. I would definitely recommend Buffalo Spray Foam to anyone that needs spray foam done!!

Sprayed foamed the walls of my new pole barn. Everything was properly covered before spraying. Employee left everything nice and clean. Could not be more pleased. Highly recommended.

Hello, Thank you for insulating my home. I can feel the warmth. Out of all the years I have been here (30 +). I finally can be warmer. Words cannot express what I feel. Your company has an excellent team of workers beginning with the first two who showed up on Thursday January 28, 2026.. Boomer and everyone has done an excellent job. As a homeowner I am truly and honestly satisfied. my taxes has doubled this year. I am on a fixed income and cannot afford to do the repair that your company has done. I am reaching out to other agencies for help also. I highly recommend this team who has been here for me. This means the world to me. 💯 🙏👌

We had a great experience with this insulation company. They were very professional, showed up on time, and did excellent work. The crew was friendly, respectful, and took the time to make sure everything was done right. Highly recommend!

On 1/23/26 I had weatherization done in my home, Eric, Myron, and the team Lead by Troy and Oscar were amazing. They were friendly, polite, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the job. It was a pleasure to be serviced by your crew thank you so much! I would welcome the opportunity to work with Prime Energy again.

I called Kevin he came right out to give an estimate. His pricing was inline with other competitors and I explained to him i needed the job asap. His response was i took the week off for the holidays but if you need it done that quick I will come tomorrow and will take a couple days because he does the jobs himself. I love owner/operators because for so many years I've done the same myself. He did exactly what he said and the job looks great I'd definitely recommend this company to everyone 😊

Very good experience. I framed a shipping container and required spray urethane insulation. I received a quote from Great Lakes within 24hrs after requesting. Kevin was communicative and accommodating. We settled on a date and the crew arrived on time. They worked quickly and efficiently with modern equipment. Their equipment was also quieter than any spray insulator I have used in the past. They were clean and worked to protect from overspray and did a good job cleaning up. Crew was pleasant and I would recommend them for your next insulation job.

I am so pleased that We hired Great Lakes for our insulation install. Kevin was super professional and prompt when he came to estimate. He returned when I had more questions and gave me a price that was super fair!! The installation was fantastic!! They cleaned up everything and not a drop of overspray on our new windows I would recommend anyone considering spray foam for their project call Kevin first!!!

We recently had a water pipe break that caused extensive damage to our home. We used Energsmart for our new build 18 years ago, so we gave them a call for the repair work. Bob’s estimate was fair, and he scheduled the work within a couple of days’ time. His crew, Carl and Cam, were fantastic! They were personable neat and did quality work. We will use Energsmart again if we need spray foam for any future projects. Rick and Kari Roll

I had a great experience with Energsmart and would highly recommend them. They spray foam insulated a crawlspace under an addition on my house and did a great job. Bob who quoted the work was pleasant to deal with, prompt in his communication, and answered all questions I had. I did some of the prep work in the crawlspace and he was happy to help guide me on the best way to do things. Carl who was the foreman was great to work with, and he and his crew were neat, thorough and professional. Carl did well to answer any questions I had on the day of foam application. And last but not least, Linda at the office who dealt with my request for quote and scheduling got back to me very quickly in all communication, and included both a call/voicemail and a text. Seriously, I had nothing but a good experience. Don't hesitate to do business with Energsmart!
