We just had our attic fully re-insulated and WOW did Zhe Industries go above and beyond. The level of professionalism and kindness was incredible. If you need new insulation and removal of the old this Is the company for you. Brian the owner and Brian the superintendent are a dynamic duo that will make sure you are well taken care of!

Alfred Stanley★★★★★4 weeks ago

I strongly recommend Zhe Industries for all your insulation needs! The entire team was knowledgeable and professional and brought my 60-year-old attic up to modern code. This is a quality company that’s interested in doing what’s right for the customer. When the Zhe team identified an electrical problem in the attic they paused work and helped arrange repairs. I am completely satisfied, and extremely happy, with the service, quality, and price provided by Zhe!

Devon Lee★★★★★9 months ago

We had a complete attic removal and installation. Zhe did an amazing job and some of the best costumer service we’ve ever experienced. The free quote was no hassle or was not a “salesman pitch”- very fair pricing and answered all of our questions. After receiving multiple quotes, they were the best priced and the ones we wanted to work with the most. Would recommend these guys to anyone!

Working with Puff Roofing literally saved me $150,000 and made it possible for me to rehab a 10,500 sqft building with a flat roof that otherwise would have been lost due to 25 years of neglect and growing water damage. Using infrared technology Puff was able to focus repairs on areas that where actually leaking. Best part is that their roofing solution saved the original flat roof aesthetic of the building making the building look more favorable for tenants. The foam solution also keeps the building much cooler inside as it is white and insulated than other dark membrane roofs I've worked with.

Samson Insulation did my attic and crawlspace. nice crew, showed up on time, walked me through what they were doing. Not the cheapest quote I got, but definitely worth it. House feels tighter and my electric bill’s already dropped.

Great Experience with Tredegar Construction! I recently had Tredegar Construction replace my roof and install blown-in attic insulation, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. As a first-time homeowner tackling a huge financial commitment like a new roof, the process was daunting, but the Tredegar team made it significantly less painful. From the very start, communication was outstanding. Luke, who provided the initial quote, was knowledgeable, patient, and thoroughly walked me through the different options without any pressure. Once the project began, Seth, the Project Manager, was fantastic—always accessible and ensuring the job stayed on track. The entire team made scheduling the work seamless and stress-free. Tredegar's flexibility and willingness to work with me was truly exceptional. They were happy to accommodate my specific payment needs and were proactive in helping me meet my budget, even by scheduling around my decision to handle the attic insulation removal myself. They also went above and beyond to ensure I received the necessary documentation and the final invoice before the end of the year, which was crucial for me to claim the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit. If you are looking for a highly professional company that delivers quality work and treats you like a partner—especially when navigating a major home investment—I wholeheartedly recommend Tredegar Construction.

Mike Shea★★★★★a month ago

I’ve never had more fun fixing a home crisis! Tredegar made my roof replacement easy and even enjoyable. Scott Sanchez is a gem: reliable, personable, and always quick to respond. I’d trust him with any project. I could say more, but my before-and-after photos speak for themselves.

C H★★★★★a week ago

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.

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.

I just recently had my crawl space encapsulated, all vents sealed & a dehumidifier installed by Scott of Efficiency by Design. I cannot tell you how satisfied I am with his work & professionalism! My crawl space looks amazing! It’s clean, cool & protected thanks to Scott! I highly recommend Scott & his company “Efficiency by Design “ to anyone who needs upgrade to their crawl space or treatment of vents, etc. I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Scott for an awesome experience!

Great experience! I selected them because of the consistently great reviews they had and was not disappointed. The office staff were so nice and the crew that put new insulation in my attic did a wonderful job. They were on time, very professional, and they put down a cloth on the steps leading upstairs and the hallway to keep the area from getting messed up. I would highly recommend them for their great work and their reasonable pricing.

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!

Patrick Fitzgerald★★★★★12 years ago

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.

Freaking awesome company to work with!!! I had many services performed by this company (insulation, garage doors, gutters, shower doors, etc.). With all the work I had done, they were wonderful to work with. I couldn't be more pleased. All this work doesn't happen with a glitch or two, but the customer service was top notch and they resolved every issue that arose. The salesperson, Garrett Pugh, is one of the most ethical people I've had the pleasure of working with. I'm in Sales and I pride myself on being ethical and maintaining my morals with a high degree and it was awesome to see someone that shared the same values. I have recommended Garrett/Quality Building Products many times and to my friends' satisfaction as well.

Frequently Asked Questions — Spray Foam Insulation in Richmond

These are the questions Richmond homeowners ask most about spray foam cost, R-value, and open- vs. closed-cell foam — with context for local pricing and roughly 33% typical energy savings. Compare the 15 verified Richmond contractors above for exact quotes.

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 in Richmond, VA?▼
In Richmond, VA 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 Richmond costs $2,000–$6,000. Most Richmond 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 Richmond, VA?▼
When searching for a spray foam contractor in Richmond, VA, 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 Richmond 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 Richmond 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.
