"Ben and crew were wonderful and so easy to work with. I can be a very indecisive person at times and not once did I feel like that was an issue. Ben worked very hard to turn our ideas into reality while also sharing his own to create such a warm and inviting space. I would highly recommend Hitchcock & Co!"

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Avoid sleeping in a house immediately after spray foam insulation is applied due to the off-gassing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These fumes can cause respiratory irritation, headaches, and other health issues. It’s recommended to wait 24 to 72 hours after installation to allow the foam to fully cure and the fumes to dissipate. The exact time frame depends on the type of spray foam used and the ventilation during the application, but your installation pro can advise you on the best timeline. 

If you have intermediate DIY skills and protect yourself with a full PPE suit, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and a respirator, you can install spray foam insulation yourself. DIYers have access to two-part spray foam retail kits that are best for use on small projects. Hiring a professional installer is likely the best option if you need to insulate a large space.

When installed correctly, radiant barriers can have a life span of anywhere from 80 to 100 years—which, in some cases, is more than certain roofs. While most homeowners who have them installed don’t start to notice any issues for one or several decades, you can ensure no problems pop up by semi-regularly removing dust from reflective sides.

Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn’t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.

2x4 walls can hold R-13 or R-15 batts of insulation, which is usually about 3.5 inches thick. You should also check with your local building codes to see if there’s a required thickness you need to adhere to. 

You can also use R-value maps to determine the best thickness and ratings for where you live. For example, someone in Texas doesn’t need as thick of insulation as someone in Montana. Energy Star has a good one you can reference.
