Choosing the Right Spray Foam Contractor

St Louis - St Charles Insulation Company.

Insulating Your Home With Spray Foam

If you’re considering adding spray foam insulation to your home, you know it’s a big investment. You also know you need to partner with a St. Louis insulation contractor that you can trust to get the job done. But where do you start? How do you know you’re making the right choice?

Here are some things to keep in mind during the process.

Top 3 Considerations

When searching for an insulation contractor in St. Charles, don’t make the mistake of picking one at random online. Do your research first. Call your local Chamber of Commerce, check the Better Business Bureau, read online reviews, and research the company online by visiting their website.

Here’s what you should focus on in your search:

1. Check licensing and insurance

Ask if they are licensed and insured. You can usually find this information on their website, but you may have to call them if not. Check out their credentials and follow up to be sure. This is ultimately for your protection and that of your property. Without a license and insurance, you can’t be assured of professionalism.

If a contractor doesn’t provide this information or is not licensed and insured, go to the next name on the list.

2. Check for references and reviews

Go online and read Yelp, Google and Facebook reviews. It’s OK if you see a few negative reviews sprinkled in amongst the good ones, but what you should be more concerned with is the responsiveness of the contractor to those negative reviews. Are they respectful, grateful for the feedback, and polite? Do they offer to remedy the situation to ensure customer satisfaction? Do they respond quickly? Or do they respond in anger or not at all? This will tell you a lot about the professionalism and accountability of the contractor.

Next, ask for references from the contractor, and follow up with those recent customers to check their satisfaction level.

3. Look for experience

Newer contractors aren’t bad per se, but they lack the in-the-trenches experience of seasoned contractors who have a broader and more refined skillset. Experienced contractors have been in the business for a long time and they have seen it all. They have fixed all sorts of problems because they’ve dealt with them before. You can rest easy knowing you will not become a part of the contractor’s learning curve.

You may pay a bit more, but you can’t put a price on peace of mind. Plus, you know they will be around later if you have any issues, questions or concerns. Newer contractors aren’t as entrenched in the local community and may not still be in business when you need them.
