Atlantic Spray just finished up with my crawl insulation and attic insulation. I can already feel the difference in my home. The employees were very professional and explained everything to me.

I'm extremely satisfied with the spray foam insulation job they did for me. Friendly, fair price, prompt service and a local family business. That's about as good as it gets in my opinion. I had them foam the inside metal walls of a metal building I own. The product did an even better job than I imagined. It's rigid and as a bonus since I had them spray the bottom side of the metal roof, and this is closed cell foam, it's now impossible for the roof to leak, even if in the future the rubber gasket on roofing screws deteriorate. I highly recommend them and would use them again!

They insulated our garage in record time. Professional, efficient, and they even cleaned up after the job was completed. Easy communication with Jocelyn, quick response time, great work in installation. Would highly recommend.

Hired kings of insulation to blow fiberglass insulation in my attic. They offered competitive prices and were able to come quickly. This particular attic space was very low and cramped one of the workers Accidentally crushed a HVAC duct in attic while working. The company offered to pay for full replacement of duct with no issues. Great people to deal with would not hesitate to use them again.

Jarred and his team at East Coast Insulators are absolutely top-notch! We were in the middle of selling our house and needed some last-minute attic insulation touch-ups. Jarred came out the very next day, provided a clear and fair quote within a couple of hours, and had the work scheduled for the next business day. The quality of their work and attention to detail were excellent, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free. Jarred’s great communication and leadership made everything quick and easy—truly outstanding service from start to finish!

Virginia Foam did a great job; they were on-time, reasonable price, and they did quality work. They were great at communicating with me; everything from scheduling the free quote visit, to getting the contract, to scheduling the work, to performing the work. They even cleaned up their mess completely before they left the site (can't remember the last contractor that did that). VERY IMPRESSED! My recent experiences with contractors had not been all that good, and the folks at Virginia Foam gave me new hope that there are more great contractors out there.

Devin Lam★★★★★5 years ago

James came out to provide us a free estimate for crawlspace and attic insulation in the fall of 2019. He was timely, professional, and honest. After the inspection, he was very upfront about costs and not pushy, which was refreshing. We needed a new roof on our house, so we decided to postpone having the insulation installed. Several months after the initial inspection, we finally decided to pull the trigger. James' team came out in a matter of a week or two, despite their busy schedule during the summer 2020 season. Their team removed the old, blown-in insulation from our attic, which was over 50 years old. In a matter of 1.5 days, James' team had successfully completed the job flawlessly, working in tight spaces and around our HVAC system and ducting. I fully expected the price to be higher, with the hotter, busier, season, but it was to the penny of the original estimate. Our home is so much cooler now that we have the attic foam insulation! Thank you to Virginia Foam Insulators for a job well done! Would highly recommend, and we will be using them for all of our insulation needs in the future!

John Ansted★★★★★6 years ago

A few years ago I chose to use Virginia Foam for my home that had poor insulation from 35 years ago. What a difference both in utility bills and now I can walk upstairs with no change in temperature and humidity. One of the best investments for energy efficiency and payback on investment. They were professional and prompt. Because of this I contracted again for them to foam insulate a metal garage I have that is like an oven in the hot sun. They completed the job yesterday and what a difference. Also the professional job in the garage was so well done it looks smooth as glass. Great job a second time from Virginia Foam. Other companies may be here today and gone tomorrow but Virginia Foam has been there to help me for many years now. It pays to deal with professionals who are experienced.

Scott and his crew were professional, made very helpful recommendations about how best to add new insulation to our attic, and were a delight to have in our home. I highly recommend them.

Tom Walsh★★★★★a month ago

I recently worked with Scott Mazza, owner of Efficiency by Design, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Scott returned my call immediately and was able to come out to my home within just two days to provide an estimate—far faster than other companies I contacted, which were quoting 10–14 days just to come out. Even better, Scott does not charge for estimates, unlike several competitors. We initially realized we had a serious problem because our crawl space was creating a horrible smell throughout the house, clearly caused by excess moisture and humidity. After Scott encapsulated the crawl space, sealed all vents, and installed a dehumidifier, the results were dramatic. Within just a few days of the job being completed, the odor was completely gone. Before choosing Efficiency by Design, I received two over-the-phone estimates from other companies for essentially the same scope of work. Scott’s final price was literally more than $10,000 less than those estimates, and the quality of the work exceeded expectations. The crawl space is now clean, cool, and well-protected, and the workmanship and attention to detail are immediately apparent. Scott is professional, knowledgeable, and takes real pride in his work. I am extremely satisfied with both the process and the outcome, and I would highly recommend Scott and Efficiency by Design to anyone considering crawl space upgrades, encapsulation, vent sealing, or moisture-control solutions. This was an efficient, transparent, and genuinely positive experience.

Working with Tredegar Construction from my initial inquiry to final county approval was really what working with a contractor should be like. From the initial sales & job review with Luke, to talking and working with my project manager Brent, the project was really a breeze. Tredegar replaced my roof & gutters, cleaned out and replaced old attic insulation, and encapsulated my crawl space. The jobsite page they use helps you keep tabs on the current construction calendar & the timeliness, professionalism and superb work are worth giving them a try. I highly recommend them for your next construction project.

Working with Tredegar Construction on our nonprofit’s roofing project was such a great experience! They gave an honest and thorough evaluation of what our roof needed now, plus a clear long-term plan for the future. Their professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail were outstanding. They took the time to explain everything and truly cared about doing what was best for us. As a nonprofit that cares for the community, it meant so much to feel cared for in return. It was a tough decision, but we have absolutely no regrets — Tredegar Construction went above and beyond!

I highly recommend Koala. I called for an estimate a couple of weeks before Christmas, hoping to get crawlspace insulation, vapor barrier, and blow-in insulation for the walls in my 100-year old house all done before the end of the year. Estimator came out, took a look, sent me an estimate, answered my questions, sent me a contract, and had me scheduled all before lunch. Within a week the workers came out for 2 full days, about an hour away from their nearest location and got the work done. I noticed a minor issue a week later, texted them late that afternoon, and by the time I left for work the next day they were already there solving the problem. Incredibly responsive, great communication, easy online processes, and reasonably priced.

I hired Justin & his crew to clean out mold from our crawl space & encapsulate it with spray foam and a dehumidifier. Overall they did a great job. Got rid of all the mold and did an excellent job overlaying the vapor barrier where needed and sealing up the walls & any openings extremely well with spray foam. The only thing they didn’t do well is install the dehumidifier. It was clear they forgot cinderblocks and it was the last part of the job so they tried to lift it with a foam sheet they had & gravity drain the line outside. Only problem is that didn’t create enough of an angle (shown in the first photo) so when I checked on the crawl space a couple days after the job was done I found the drain line clogged and lots of water on the ground. I’m glad I caught it quick but it required me buying cinderblocks & a condensate pump and installing those myself (shown in the second photo). Annoying they didn’t do the last part well but they did everything else extremely well, which I would argue were the harder parts than buying cinderblocks and a condensate pump. I’d definitely recommend this company for anyone thinking about encapsulating their crawl space.

Last year we bought a home that was built in the early 1960's, and after our first few energy bills came in, I wanted to reduce my energy costs and improve the air quality in our home for our children. I got several quotes from local contractors that had wide ranging suggestions from minimal work to major construction. Larry, with Commonwealth Foam, was very knowledgeable and informative on what the most likely sources of energy loss were and how to make the biggest impact and get the most improvement for my money. Commonwealth Foam sealed and insulated our crawlspaces and re-insulated our attic at a fraction of the cost of the other contractors. We noticed an immediate improvement and our bills have been reduced. At the current rate, the work that Commonwealth Foam did on our house will completely pay for itself in only a couple of years!!! Amazing! The work crew was very professional, did a complete and thorough job, and left our house without making a huge mess, unlike other contractors in the past. I have been spreading the word to my neighbors. Thank you Commonwealth Foam!

My house was built in the 70's and the insulation was old and needed to be repalced. David came out and gave me a quote, that I was very impressed with. I thought this work would cost 2x the quote. The work crew came on time and were very polite and professional, and did an excellent job working around all the stuff I had in the attic. I look forward to my next heating bill I can tell already the heat pump runs a lot less than before. I am so impreesed with the results of the attic I plan on asking David for a quote of the crawl space.

Frequently Asked Questions — Spray Foam Insulation in Richmond

Is spray foam insulation a good investment in Richmond?
For homes in mixed-humid climates like Richmond, VA, spray foam is typically an excellent investment. The combination of hot summers, cold winters, and significant humidity means your home faces insulation challenges year-round. Spray foam addresses all three — providing thermal insulation in both seasons while controlling moisture infiltration. Most homeowners in VA see payback periods of 4–7 years. As with any tight building envelope, ensure your home has adequate mechanical ventilation to manage interior moisture.
How does humidity affect spray foam insulation performance in Richmond?
In mixed-humid climates like Richmond, VA, moisture management is as important as thermal performance. Closed-cell spray foam acts as a Class II vapor retarder, preventing moisture from infiltrating walls and attics where it causes mold and structural damage. This dual function — insulation plus moisture control — is why spray foam outperforms traditional insulation options in VA's climate. However, because the building envelope becomes tightly sealed, proper mechanical ventilation is strongly recommended to allow interior moisture from daily activities to escape without losing conditioned air.
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.
