The single biggest lever on your energy bill
Spray foam, batt, and blown-in insulation installed to code, sealed to perform, and documented for your warranty.
Insulation looks simple in a YouTube video. In the wall, it's not. Air gaps, compressed batts, missing vapor barriers, and electrical-box leaks erase most of what a fluffy R-value rating promises on paper. SBC Construction installs insulation the way the manufacturers actually specify — full-depth, air-sealed at every penetration, and inspected before the drywall goes up.
What professional work looks like.
Plenty of contractors deliver what looks like a finished project. Here's what separates work that holds up from work that fails quietly.
- Air-sealing penetrations (top plates, can lights, electrical boxes) before insulation goes in
- Full-depth batts cut around obstructions, not stuffed
- Spray foam applied at correct thickness and temperature so it cures properly
- Blown-in density measured, not guessed
- Vapor barrier oriented correctly for our Kentucky climate zone
- Insulation type matched to the assembly (attic vs. crawlspace vs. cathedral ceiling)
- Stuffing batts behind wires and pipes (compresses to half the R-value)
- Skipping air-sealing because 'the insulation will fill the gap' (it won't)
- Spraying foam too thick in one pass (causes shrinkage and pull-away from studs)
- Wrong vapor-barrier orientation (traps moisture in the wall)
- Treating the attic and crawlspace the same (they need different strategies)
How the project actually runs.
- 01Free assessment
We walk the home, measure existing R-values, and identify the air leaks that are actually costing you money.
- 02Written proposal
You see the exact materials, R-values, square footage, and cost — no surprise change orders.
- 03Pre-insulation air sealing
We seal penetrations before insulation goes in. This is what makes the rated R-value real.
- 04Install to spec
Full-depth batts, measured blown-in density, two-pass spray foam where called for. Photos at every stage.
- 05Inspection-ready handoff
Documentation for your records, your inspector, and your warranty.
