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.

Climate giants team came to insulate my house this week..and honestly these are some of the best people I have met. They did the basement, attic and closets in my house. They were so respectful, sweet and honest people. They left my house clean as hell too! I would choose them 100x over again. Their boss and team has not been anything short of amazing and kind. Highly recommend. I wish they did more things so I could have them do all the work in my house!

I’ve worked with Climate Giant on the last two programs I was approved for through NYSERDA. Hands-down the best customer service I’ve ever received. I will forever book any services I need through Climate Giant. Very efficient, professional, kind and quick response. Also, takes the time to educate you on important details around the service you’re receiving.

Everything was fantastic from this company. From the start, with the project lead Nick running the home energy test and follow ups, to the guys Michael, Luis, and Liban completing the work itself, everything went so well. The guys were prepared and thorough, laying down tarps through the house so as not to track mess everywhere. They completed an insulation job on my attic and as a result, I had a 42% decrease in air leakage in the house, and things are much more comfortable as the cold sets in. Overall, Wise has been an excellent choice, there was some communication issues early on with getting the work scheduled, everything still went well, and I understand as this is a smaller operation. I will be using them again.

Wise Home Energy did an awesome job on my home. Matt completed the home energy audit and was incredibly thorough and informative. The insulation crew—Jamie, Steven, Erik, Sean, Michael, Caleb, and Luis—were great and did fantastic work. They were efficient, respectful of my home, and clearly take pride in the quality of their work. The HVAC team—Tom, Alex, and Russ—also did a great job. The install went smoothly, and they were all super professional. Overall, I’m really happy with the whole experience and the results. Highly recommend Wise Home Energy for anyone looking to improve their home’s comfort and efficiency!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Arik, Sean, Lee, and Caleb, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service they provided. From start to finish, the entire team demonstrated outstanding professionalism. As senior guys Arik and Sean did a great job managing the team and the work completed. They were courteous, highly knowledgeable, and arrived on time, ready to get to work. Their attention to detail was evident in how thorough they were throughout the entire project. They took the time to clearly explain the full scope of work, ensuring I understood every step of the process. Their dedication to cleanliness—both during and after the job—made a noticeable difference and showed the pride they take in their work. Overall, Arik, Sean, Lee, and Caleb and the rest of the people at Wise delivered exceptional service, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable, high-quality workmanship.

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!!

Shout out to Justin for setting up this installation and making it all happen. The crew of Nick B, Nick C, Isaac and Orest did a phenomenal job on the installation. Absolutely professional, detail oriented and on time. Highly recommend this company.

Katie K★★★★★3 months ago

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!

Terrific Company. Jag Construction installed a foam roof with a silicone coating on our house in 2017. It is a low slope roof (2/12), so the obvious choice as EPDM, but we decided to use foam installed by Jag. The roof looks terrific--a lovely medium brown. It drains perfectly--but most important, our energy bills dropped by a solid 30%--no kidding, 300.00 to 200.00 in mid-winter. There have been a few contractors working on electrical and skylights since the roof was installed, so I called to ask Jag to come and check out the roof before winter. The owner came himself to check it out, found a few things to address and sent a crew. He called to ask how the work was, and when I asked about payment, he just said, we stand behind our work--I know some of the things his crew did were repairs needed because the skylight guys had been up there--but Mike just shrugged and said "this one is on me, we stand behind our work." It is nice to have a super energy-efficient roof and nice to be connected to such a great company.

We have worked with Scott at JAG several times regarding insulation on our home. The most recent was after a major disaster causing significant structural damage to our home. His professionalism is so appreciated especially since it is difficult to find in contractors these days. The quality of work and the professionalism of the workers was also exceptional! They stand behind their work and definitely have a solid understanding of their materials and the needs of homeowners. Thank you JAG!!

Ginger Gibson★★★★★3 years ago

Simply put, last winter my house had huge icicles all around, this winter, because of Jag, my house is icicle free. We hired them to spray foam insulation in the entire roof deck in August. Boy am I glad we did that! Didn't know it was going to be such a cold winter. The year prior, we hired them to insulate the rim joist in the basement. Also a wonderful job. If you've ever taken one of those canned foam spray to task, you'd know there's some art to having a beautiful finished look. It takes a professional to have it look as beautiful as they did. The whole process was pleasant. From the manager to the owner to the workers, everybody is reasonable and polite. Price is very fair as well. Highly recommend!!

Frequently Asked Questions — Spray Foam Insulation in Rochester

These are the questions Rochester homeowners ask most about spray foam cost, R-value, and open- vs. closed-cell foam — with context for local pricing and roughly 25% typical energy savings. Compare the 7 verified Rochester contractors above for exact quotes.

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 Rochester, NY?
In Rochester, 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 Rochester costs $2,000–$6,000. Most Rochester 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 Rochester, NY?
When searching for a spray foam contractor in Rochester, 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 Rochester 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 Rochester 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.
