How often does insulation need to be replaced?

Typically 10 to 15 years, depending on type, quality, and home conditions.

How do I know if my insulation should be replaced?

Signs include inconsistent room temperatures, unusually high energy bills, insulation only installed to minimum code, or insulation over 10 years old.

How do I choose the right insulation type for my home?

Depends on the space; Zone 4 code recommends at least R-13 in walls and R-38 in the attic; a free home health visit is recommended.

How much insulation should be installed in my home?

Varies by location, climate zone, and home age; Missouri is Climate Zone 4 bordering Zone 5, and Foam Co. targets up to R49.

How long will insulation installation take?

Generally completed in one day; timeline varies by space size.

What is the average cost of your service?

Cost varies depending on the home's needs and insulation type chosen; a free home health visit gives an accurate estimate.

Where do I need insulation in my home?

The attic is crucial since heat rises; air-sealing all cracks and exposures is also essential.

Are there any incentives or rebates for installing insulation?

Possible government incentives, tax credits, or utility rebates — up to 30% of cost back, up to $1,200 (installation itself is not covered).

Is the home's insulation being done to Code only?

If only to Code, consider upgrading to the Missouri Zone 4 level and R49; a free consultation can assess and advise.

What is the best insulation for walls and attic?

Spray foam is recommended for most St. Louis homes for thermal resistance and air-sealing.

Is there a difference between attic insulation and wall insulation?

Attic insulation prevents heat escaping through the top; wall insulation maintains an energy-efficient barrier around living spaces.

Is there a difference between wall insulation and ceiling insulation?

Ceiling insulation often needs denser materials to prevent rising heat loss.

Do I need to insulate the walls of my attic?

Crucial for a complete thermal barrier, especially if the attic is used as living space.

Are there any incentives or rebates for installing insulation?

Up to 30% of cost back, up to $1,200, via tax credits/rebates (installation not covered).

Is the home's insulation being done to Code only?

Attic Insulation Contractors Who Build a Stronger Top Floor

Check your roof the morning after a St. Louis snowfall. If your shingles are bare while the neighbors’ roofs are still white, warm air is leaking out through your ceiling. That same weak spot lets July heat pour back in, so the upstairs bakes and the AC runs from lunch until bedtime. As attic insulation contractors, we upgrade the layer at the top of the house, where your home insulation takes the hardest hits all year.

Foam Co. treats the attic as one working system. We close hidden air leaks first. Then we choose spray foam insulation, blown-in attic insulation, or batts based on your framing and goals. We also keep soffit airflow open so moisture can escape. The payoff is steady temperatures, smaller energy bills, and an HVAC unit that finally gets a break.

Sealed, Then Covered

Every attic insulation installation we do starts with air sealing. We seal top plates, recessed lights, and plumbing chases so conditioned air stays downstairs. Next, we install the right material at an even depth, with no compressed spots. Our attic insulation contractors also add baffles at the eaves. Clear vents help limit moisture and ice dams.

Comfort Every Season

Old, flattened fill from decades ago can’t hold back a 100-degree afternoon. Attic insulation replacement or a fresh top-up changes how your house feels. Bedrooms cool down faster in summer. Winter heat stays in the living room instead of drifting into the attic. Your furnace and AC cycle less, which also trims monthly energy bills.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt P came out and really helped me get to the bottom of an air duct/insulation issue. I already had other companies out and no one else offered any answers or solutions. Matt offered both, and took the time to explain everything. Zero upsell, zero pressure, wonderful communication. Highly recommend!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Foam Co was easy to work with. They gave an honest price that I was able to negotiate to come to an agreement on blown in attic insulation. They came on time, worked efficiently, let us know when it would be loud due to having a newborn, and cleaned up when they were done.

About Us

We’ve crawled through St. Louis attics from nearly every decade. Story-and-a-half bungalows hide cramped knee walls. Wide 1970s ranches often sit on a few inches of settled fill. Newer two-story builds may meet code on paper and still run hot upstairs. Knowing those patterns helps us plan house insulation that fits the structure in front of us.

We check permit needs by address, since St. Louis City and St. Louis County handle them differently. We also add approved thermal barriers wherever open-cell foam lines a roof deck. Your appointment starts when you pick, and we leave every room tidy. Learn more about our crew today.
