Burlington winters are long and unforgiving. If your heating bill keeps climbing and certain rooms never feel warm, spray foam insulation seals the gaps other insulation misses - cutting drafts, lowering energy costs, and protecting your home for decades.
Spray foam insulation in Burlington seals air leaks and insulates in a single step - most jobs covering crawl spaces, rim joists, or attics are completed in one to two days. Unlike fiberglass batts, it expands into every gap and stays put for the life of the home.
Most Burlington homes were built before 1960, and many still have original framing with hidden air channels running from basement to attic. Those gaps are where heating dollars disappear every winter. Spray foam gets into places other insulation cannot reach - around pipes, inside rim joists, and along stone foundation walls. If your home has a drafty basement or cold floors above a crawl space, this is likely the fix. For finished attics, our attic insulation service covers blown-in and batt options as well.
If your gas or electric bill climbs every January and February when Burlington temperatures drop below zero, poor insulation is often the culprit. Heat escapes fastest through attics, rim joists, and basement walls - and once it is gone, your furnace works twice as hard to replace it.
In Burlington's older homes, cold air sneaks in through gaps in the framing, around electrical outlets on exterior walls, and along the floor where the walls meet the foundation. If you feel a draft near the baseboards or a chill near an outside-wall outlet, air is moving through your home's structure in ways it should not.
If your upper floors are noticeably colder than the main level even with the thermostat turned up, the attic insulation is likely inadequate or has settled over time. This is common in Burlington's older two- and three-story homes where original insulation has compressed or shifted over decades.
Burlington's older homes frequently have stone or rubble foundations that allow ground moisture to seep in. If your crawl space feels damp, smells earthy, or shows white chalky deposits on the concrete, that moisture is also affecting the floors above. Spray foam on rim joists and foundation walls seals out both cold air and moisture.
We install both open-cell and closed-cell foam insulation, and the right choice depends on where in your home we are working and what problems you are trying to solve. Open-cell foam is softer and more flexible - it is ideal for interior walls and attics where you want sound dampening along with an air seal. Closed-cell foam is denser and moisture-resistant, which makes it the better choice for crawl spaces, rim joists, and any surface that faces the outdoors directly in a Vermont winter.
Beyond the foam type, application matters just as much. We check for existing moisture and framing issues before spraying, apply consistent layers with no thin spots, and walk you through the finished work. Most Burlington jobs also pair spray foam with our attic insulation work to address heat loss from multiple directions at once.
Best for interior walls and attics where air sealing and sound dampening are the priorities.
Best for crawl spaces, rim joists, and exterior-facing surfaces in Vermont's cold, wet climate.
Seals the gap between your foundation and first floor - one of the biggest sources of cold air in older Burlington homes.
Stops cold air and ground moisture from moving up into your living space through the floors.
Burlington averages around 100 inches of snowfall per year and regularly sees temperatures below zero in January and February. That kind of cold puts real pressure on a home's thermal envelope. Most Burlington homes - especially those in the Old North End, the Hill Section, and the South End - were built with balloon-frame construction, where wall cavities run continuously from the basement to the attic. Those hidden channels let cold air travel freely through the entire house. Spray foam is one of the most effective ways to address them without tearing out walls. Vermont also has one of the strongest energy efficiency programs in the country through Efficiency Vermont, which offers rebates that can meaningfully reduce your project cost.
We serve homeowners throughout the greater Burlington area. Homeowners in Winooski and South Burlington call us regularly for the same issues - older homes with stone foundations, settled insulation, and heating bills that do not match the size of the house.
Call or submit a request and we will ask a few basic questions - what area you want insulated, whether you have had moisture issues, and roughly how old your home is. We reply within 1 business day.
We walk through the areas you want insulated, check for existing moisture, look at the framing, and confirm ventilation is adequate. You get a written estimate that breaks down cost by area.
You and your pets will need to be out of the home for at least 24 hours while the foam cures. We set up protective sheeting, spray consistent layers, and leave the space ventilating before we go.
Once the re-entry window passes, we do a final walkthrough with you. If you are applying for an Efficiency Vermont rebate, we can help with the documentation so you do not have to navigate it alone.
We will walk through your home, explain exactly what we recommend and why, and let you know what Efficiency Vermont rebates you may qualify for. No obligation - just honest answers.
(802) 307-1480A large share of Burlington's homes were built before 1960 with construction techniques that create unique insulation challenges - balloon framing, stone foundations, and inaccessible wall cavities. We have worked on these homes extensively and know what to look for before the first can of foam is opened.
We hold a current Vermont contractor's license, verifiable through the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation. That means you have real recourse if anything goes wrong - and it means we carry the insurance to back it up.
We are familiar with Efficiency Vermont's rebate programs and can help you understand what you qualify for before the project starts. Some Burlington homeowners reduce their out-of-pocket cost significantly - we make sure you do not leave that money on the table.
We have completed spray foam projects across Burlington and the surrounding areas since opening. Ask us for references from jobs in your neighborhood - we are happy to provide them. Local experience matters when the homes are a century old.
These are not marketing claims - they are the specific reasons Burlington homeowners call us back when they need additional work done. We do the job right the first time, and we stand behind it. Learn more about our credentials on our About page.
