Vip Spray Foam Insulation & More

We had VIP Spray Foam come in and add more insulation into our attic. Peter was very friendly when I called and was very thorough in answering my questions. When they arrived the next day to do the job they were professional and inspected the attic prior to starting the job. They address a few small concerns which they fixed at a small minimal fee. The job took 5 hours from start to finish as we have a big home 3000 sq ft. I would highly recommend VIP Spray Foam to anyone needing this type of work done in their home. We will definitely be calling them back in the summer to spray foam our garage as we found their prices very reasonable.

We had a recommendation from a good friend who had just used VIP to spray foam his gutted basement. We contacted the company and arranged a quote. Walt came out to give a quote on our 1500 square foot basement outside walls. We agreed to the standard R14 on the walls and R20 in the joist headers. We agreed to a mutually convenient date within a few weeks. The whole job took about 5 hours. Excess foam was nicely trimmed and all debris was removed. We didn't have to leave the house and there was no bad odor. This is a small family run business and we were very happy with all our dealings and the end result.

Discovered some insulation/moisture issues from a previous basement reno done poorly, and wanted to get garage re-insulated as well as we have room above that's always cold and window frame completely drafty, large gaps in construction/ support walls letting in too much cold and causing mositure. Finished Basement was way too cold and drafty - didn't want to hang out there. Always wanted spray foam as performance is very high and no vapor barrier needed, perfect for basements and concrete walls, as they have special issues compared to other floors of house. (moisture)

Read about Peter from RFD and had him do spray foam insulation on complete basement and full garage, including ceiling and all walls.

Communication was excellent with Peter and he always called back, even if being late, etc no surprises or lack of knowing what's going on. Never hesitate to answer my questions or concerns and I called him several times. Always took the time to answer.

Peter showed up with his dad and they are a great combo, they believe in doing the job right and care about their work. This is important. Speaking with them together they have a lot of experience which is good and well rounded. Reminds me of my dad and I somewhat as well.

I called him back to touch up some small spots because of difficult ceiling overhang that was not really taken out, they didn't hesitate and came back no problem. This is what you want and the right thing to do if you ever have to call someone back. The service and support is there.

Some clean up was required as Peter did not have his vacumme with him, however the basement at that point was partially finished just didn't want to drag all through the house. THey did cover up and staple plastic, sweep etc and vent fumes outside. Ideally this is something that you would want done at the stage of unfinished areas or construction, but can be done on existing homes or previous finished basement.

Spray foam performance made my basement the warmest level on a two story house, had to reduce heating duct as it was too warm!! Basement is completely sealed now from many drafts and sill plate leaks before. No more moisture issues or mold, nothing. In my area of houses 27 years old, the basement was not well constructed to be well insulated either, so spray foam really helped. My neighbor wants a new fireplace installed in her basement as a result. However this has been a better investment now the basement is comfortable you actually WANT to use the space and has more utility now.

Word of advice, get all changes, electrical, framing or anything else done before spray foam is in, much easier to work with on previous finished. Give installer as much room as possible as they only really have a paint gun size to work with.

Thanks for the hard work and good job. Appreciate what this gives back now.

I had in a number of different companies and had my mind made up when I saw this thread and give Peter. Let me tell you I couldn't be more happy with the results. Even the city inspector commented on what a great job it was. Peter was knowledge, willing to take the time to careful review the job, offered suggestions to issues and very professional. He is just as helpful in person as he is here.

His prices wasn't the cheapest and it wasn't the most expense but the job was 1st rate in a home we plan on living in forever.

Our basement was cold and musty. We used Peter to put in 2lb foam, as he, was highly recommended by our neighbours. They were in and out, and left the place cleaner than when tehy arrived. As well as pointed out several insulation envelope issues which i would have never thought of. It's refreshing to be dealing with such a good company.

We have used Spray foam in previous projects, so obviously when building a new home, it was a must.
Peter from VIP was very knowledgable and helpful from the projects start to end.
The work was done exceptionally well.
We did the complete envelope, including the basement walls.
