Insta Insulation

I'm a real estate investor and contractor. I am converting a single family home into a duplex with a legal rental apartment in the basement. The basement walls were framed with 2x4's with a one inch gap between the foundation walls. After doing much research I found WALLTITE ECO™ was the best product to use. I was able to achieve an R 20 value and bring a home that was built in the 50's up to today's building standards. Using Roxul insulation I would have had to construct the walls out of 2x6's in order to achieve an R 20 value. One of the benefits of using spray foam is it speeds up the lengthy renovation process. A job that would have normally taken 2-3 days using batt insulation was done in 5 hours. No 6 mil poly or tuck tape was needed for a vapor barrier! We have noticed a huge difference in the home's efficiency now. I had to close a few vents in the basement because it was too hot. Which is a huge difference compared to the old drafty basement.

I also took advantage of Enbridges Home Energy Conservation Program. Getting the spray foam done contributed towards my $1,600.00 rebate. It also helped improve the homes energy score from 50 to 70 out of 100.

The installer Scott was very experienced and made his job look easy. It is an art to spray the foam evenly. With that being said buyer beware when getting spray foam installed. If it's done by a inexperienced contractor you can have a lot of issues. I had three quotes and Insta-Insulation offered the best price and I enjoyed my dealing with Jeremy (Sales Rep) the best. The only negative comment I have is they were a few hours late. That was due to some unforeseen problems they had at the job site previous to mine.

I would highly recommend insta-insulation. I will be using them for any of my future income properties or customer renovation jobs.
