Is spray foam worth the money?
Whether it is professionally applied, or you do it yourself, you might be looking at a few thousand dollars’ worth of expenses for the project to occur. Knowing this information, compare it to your energy bills and estimate any repair or pest control expenses you could potentially be looking at, and add up that amount. If you can break down those investments by month, you are likely to find that with lower bills and lack of needs for most repairs associated with uninsulated walls and attic, what you spend on the spray foam insulation install will quickly be outweighed by the other expenses. Depending on the situation, this may take a different number of months for different people, but it is a safe bet that the upfront expenses will soon pay for themselves.
