Services
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam insulation combats heat loss and air infiltration more effectively than traditional systems. It strengthens walls, reduces energy bills, and improves indoor air quality. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, including attics, crawl spaces, and marine environments. Our BASF WALLTITE product provides up to 50% energy savings and meets Canadian building code standards.
Traditional insulation
Traditional insulation options include fiberglass batts, blown-in cellulose, and soundproofing materials. These systems are cost-effective for new construction or upgrades. We recommend them for projects where spray foam is unnecessary, ensuring clients receive tailored solutions without upselling.
Commercial insulation
Commercial insulation services cover attics, ceilings, walk-in coolers, and concrete slabs. We use spray foam and conventional materials to enhance energy efficiency for businesses. Our WorkSafeBC-registered team ensures projects meet deadlines and budgets while adhering to safety protocols.
Residential insulation
Residential insulation includes attic top-ups, wall cavity fills, and basement upgrades. We help homeowners reduce energy costs and improve comfort. As the sole EfficiencyBC Program Registered Contractor in the East Kootenay, we assist with rebate applications for qualifying projects.
Soundproofing
Soundproofing services utilize spray foam and specialized materials to minimize noise transmission. Ideal for walls, ceilings, and industrial settings, our solutions improve acoustic comfort while enhancing energy efficiency. We install systems that block airborne particles and reduce allergens.

We had spray foam done by these guys recently on a renovation project. They seem to do quality work, but did not show up for the last day of installation on a Friday. Not only was it a complete nightmare finding additional accommodations with our cats during the period we needed to be out - it also put the rest of the construction behind by a week as nobody can be in the space for 24 hours after they finish spraying.

Really impressed with how they took the time to make sure my crawlspace was completely sealed with foam even though it was so tight to work in. Job looks professional and I'm already noticing the difference in warmth. Thanks all!
