Three weeks later, they arrived as scheduled to an attic stripped of obstructions and old ceiling components. The crew of two proceeded to insulate the entire roof, which has tall peaks, two dormers, deep eaves, high gables, and two large semi-obstructed openings into an adjacent cold attic. By 3PM every surface exposed to the exterior was fully foamed and cut back to the rafter surface, ready for sheetrocking. They sealed the irregular openings into the annex with foamed cardboard panels (one of which is removable for access). It was an amazing one day transformation. I now have a warm, cozy, usable attic instead of a giant heat radiator.
I'm pretty sure the job will pay back in about three years, without even accounting for the added usable space.
I cannot recommend Foamco highly enough as a contractor that does what they promise and then some. I would absolutely not want to do that work and I admire the employees, Jay and Pablo, for their dedication under very unpleasant conditions. This is the second vendor I've chosen from Angie's List, and both experiences have been very gratifying.
One warning, the scope of building codes have has now been extended into anything that affects the building envelope, so with the Foamco rig parked rather obviously in front of the house for less than 3 hours, I got an authoritative knock on the door from the town building inspector, flashing his badge and telling me I needed a permit for insulation. Fortunately, I was totally believable when i told him i had no inkling that such work needed a permit, so he let me pay for it without penalty. Beware the authorities. In my case, foam with a fire spread rating of 25 or less does not require sheetrock or other flame retardant covering.
"Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad that your experience with Foamco was nothing less than quality professionalism. We are happy to hear that you are extremely happy with the completion of such a big project in such a short time frame and that no corners were cut when it can to the quality of work. More importantly we are so glad that the issue you were having we were able to address and allow you to have an area that is now functional."
Scheduling was very easy, and they accommodated a last minute date change from us. Our spayer was Miguel, an absolute artist and craftsman. He didn't miss an inch and the team made sure to cover everything carefully with plastic & cleaned up completely after they had finished.
The best part is the dramatic difference in heat retention. We have yet to run the oil furnace this fall-- last night we hit 37 degrees outside and this morning it was still 68 in the main living area, and 70 upstairs. Before the foam insulation we would've been down into the low 60s inside and running the furnace already.
Thank you Dave and FoamCo!
"Thank you for your kind words towards Dave, and Miguel. We strive for nothing less than the best. More importantly our ability to help you maintain consistent temperatures throughout the entire house is our main priority. We are so glad to hear that the work we did is working as it should."
"I am so sorry to hear about the inconveniences that you had to bear during the instillation process. We appreciate your constructive criticism, it allows us to become better as an overall company. More importantly we are so glad to hear that the system that was installed is doing its' job properly to mitigate the heat and make your house more enjoyable."
"Thank you for your rating, if you could please provide an in depth review we would greatly appreciate it."
"We are so glad that everything went perfect."
"Thank you so much, we strive for the utmost quality service with everything we do."
"Thank you for allowing us to service your house in a quick and cost effective manner."
The best we can figure is that they mixed the foam improperly because the resulting off-gassing through the walls and from
the smudges of foam throughout the apartments was so noxious that the two homes were left uninhabitable for three months.
It created a burning sensation on the throats of anyone who breathed it for more than a few minutes, and gave one of us a headache who was in there without a mask for 30 minutes. They also spilled the mixture in the parking lot, which also had to be remediated because of the same overpowering smell, even outdoors. Sounds bad, right? That?s just the tip of the iceberg.
We let Foamco know about the problem as soon as we realized what was happening, seeking their support and guidance. They said they?d send someone to check it out. Nobody came. We called again. They said they?d have the appropriate person call us. Nobody did. Then they just stopped returning our calls and e-mails.
We kept Foamco updated and practically pleaded with them to call us or visit. They never did. So we had to figure out the whole remediation process by ourselves.
The cost to us of remediating the problem was over $3,000, plus three months of lost rent, plus over 45 documented hours of our time doing the remediation work, not to mention all the time trying to deal with FoamCo. Plus we still don?t even know if the foam in there is safe or if it?s even doing the insulation job it was supposed to. But the only other option would be to open the walls and completely remove all of it, a nightmare we cannot afford to face so we?re just leaving it. One of the two families refused to move back in and moved somewhere else instead because of health concerns about the off-gassing.
The following is an excerpt from one of many e-mails we sent them, which is documented as part of our complaint to the Better Business Bureau (which appears as ?resolved,? a pretty but deceptive word that simply means we do not have the time or money to fight FoamCo further).
11/8/2012: ?We've been appalled at the total lack of support or even communication from you all. I don't know what the thinking was over there, but the silence has spoken volumes. We were blown away at first by you all doing nothing to help us with this situation, not even offering suggestions from a distance, and then were blown away that there was zero interest from you in learning how we dealt with it so you would be better prepared if/when this kind of situation arises again.
?I hate to think of the consequences of this kind of situation for someone who doesn't have the in-house competence and confidence we have to deal with such a noxious and unhealthy environment, and can only pray that you wouldn't have completely neglected them the way you have us. We hope you will seriously consider creating a plan for how you can respond with integrity to this kind of situation if/when it happens again in the future.
?As it is, we continue to hope that you will inform us if you have any insight into the potential health impact of our continuing to live here with whatever is behind our walls."
They seemed great all through the estimate process and setting up dates. From there it was a disaster. If you want to have foam installed, DO NOT USE FOAMCO, and make sure you talk with the installers about what their commitment is to working with you if something goes wrong.
The crew that did the install took one day. The job was well done, looks great. They left the house clean as a whistle. I had a great experience with this vendor. Thank you.
answered questions ahead of appointment.
arrived on time, quickly set up plastic to protect windows & floor etc.
foam installation time was shorter than expected.
7 hours total
we did not stay in the house that night so the fumes could dissipate.
clean up up was good, some scrapings left over that were manageable with our shop-vac.
