foam insulation/ spray in insulation

[birddoggin]

Hey yall,

I have been slowly building a hunting cabin over the last year and am now almost to where I need to do insulation. Just trying to get an idea if this will be worth it, if you all have any recs for good companies that do that and any other leads that would be helpful.

Any advice would be great. thanks in advance

You can rent the equipment yourself and it's fairly easy to operate.

I don't have anyone that I know in your area but as far as whether or not it's worth it, YES it's worth every extra penny.

Where do you rent equipment to do it yourself?

just too many other irons in the fire to do myself, but I guess it could be pretty straightforward, just figured there might be some guys who have had it done, and could make recommendations, or otherwise.....on who or who not to use

There is a guy here in Beeville that does the spray foam. He did my buddies house. Think its like $1 a sq ft, So a 10 x 10 wall would cost $100. Think he also has a $600 min...

I agree.. Its worth it in my opinion. $80/mo all electric house.

We have been in our house for about 5 weeks and the foam is great IMO. I can't speak for the electric bill verification yet but will find out in a few months. Good luck

My friends just had it done in their new home. I'll email them to see who they used.
All the best,

For the guys that have done it, has anyone ever just sprayed their roof and not the walls? My house is already built, but we struggle with heat during the summer. Would spraying the underside of the roof/rafters help at all? We have insulation in the attack covering the floor, but just curious if spraying the roof would help. Don't mean to hijack the thread, but thought that might be relevant to the discussion

problem i see is your attic is designed to breathe. ridge and soffit vents. if you spray the underside of the rafters you will seal all the moisture in.

it can be/has been done, just need to keep air flow in mind.

in my last house, it was designed as a sealed attic however it had only batt insulation. (before the spray foam rage) the insulation was stapled to the roof decking. the builder put a dehumidifier in the attic running 24/7.

current house is sprayed 100%

There is a partially built house on the land we bought. We're going to do that as well. Have a guy set up already. It's definitely more efficient.
