Massive Spray Foam Installation in Port Crane, NY

Challenge

When Mr. Hussar of Port Crane, NY contacted Foam It Insulation, his goal was clear: improve the comfort and efficiency of his 1968 single-family brick home by properly insulating the attic roof deck. Like many homes of that era, the attic was packed with aging fiberglass and cellulose insulation—materials that had settled over time and were no longer delivering optimal performance.

During a comprehensive evaluation, home comfort advisor Eric Johnston discovered an important challenge: the home’s HVAC system was located directly in the attic. This added a layer of complexity to the project, as the ductwork and mechanical equipment would need to operate within a properly conditioned space to prevent energy loss, condensation issues, and temperature fluctuations.

Fortunately, the basement and exterior walls had already been insulated, meaning the attic was the primary source of energy inefficiency. By focusing on the roof deck, the team could transform the attic into a conditioned space—helping protect the HVAC system, improve overall energy performance, and enhance year-round comfort throughout the home.

Solution

Frank and his crew—Kevin and Lityk—took on this massive four-day attic transformation designed to dramatically improve the home’s energy efficiency and safety.

The project began with thorough preparation: the team carefully removed the 832 square feet of existing fiberglass insulation around the attic perimeter to create a clean, debris-free surface ready for spray foam application.

As part of their safety protocol, they also installed an insulated chimney wrap to create a protective barrier between the new insulation and the chimney, reducing fire risk.

Once the attic was fully prepped, Frank installed an impressive 2,340 square feet of 3-inch closed-cell spray foam to the roof deck and gable ends. This high-performance insulation not only provides superior thermal resistance but also air seals and acts as a moisture barrier. Following closely behind, Kevin and Lityk applied a fire-resistant coating over the spray foam. Since the attic space will remain unfinished and not be covered with sheetrock, this protective layer is essential for enhancing fire safety!

The result: a safer, stronger, and significantly more energy-efficient attic space built to perform for years to come!
