I used Colonial Insulation & Fireproofing to spray foam my attic. My house was really cold and seems like I had no insulation in the attic at all, Colonial sent their tech to inspect what needs to be done exactly, he sent me a breakdown of the job which took a day to preform. They took their time cleaning out the old insulation and installing new. They cleaned up really well. The crew was professional and clean, the difference is definitely felt. On a very bright note was the "treasure" they found. It was an old jar of coins. They could have very easily left without me knowing a thing. They made sure to hand them to me. I have called them for other services as well. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone who is looking for professional service. Thank you Colonial Insulation & Fireproofing!

An overdue review that is very long but detailed.

Jan 2022 I started researching the best approach to insulate the underbelly of my mother’s trailer/mobile home. At the time, COVID had made it difficult to get the chemicals so prices sky rocketed per square board. Not sure how today’s market value is. It’s a messy job and it consisted of removing debris, old vapor barrier and insulating with a new vapor barrier or closed cell spray foam.

There are several companies throughout NH and was ready to schedule an estimate with those servicing the seacoast.
My list of 7-8 businesses quickly was cut to 3 or 4 once. Thankfully, scheduling a walkthrough and estimate was very easy with Anna.

Chris, the owner, and their PM, also Chris answered all our questions. Chris-1 was the most professional, communicating best approach of the work I wanted done of the company’s contacted. Vapor barrier would be a few thousand cheaper but we would be in a similar situation 10 years later. Colonial did the spray foam and we were not disappointed. It ended up being a 4-day job, 2.5 days of debris removal and 2.5 days of spraying 1050 sqf. They reconnected some ventilation ducts that had fallen off over the years and sprayed them in. Brian, their foam tech sprayed 4-5” underneath. Good team, professional and respectful of the property.

Here is the spec run down:
Remove and disposal: $2,288 average may have been $1500 at one time
We decided on a Zone 6 with 4” of foam: $7,377 for 1050 sqf
Depending on the winter/summer closed foam mix is 3500-5000 board feet per set. Both mixes are 2pounds per inch.

After the expansion and hardening of foam the flooring was super enforced. No sinking floor boards. The fully sealed floor has helped with keeping heat in the house longer and easily noticed the furnace has turned on less.

I contacted all the other companies and can save you time for your next project.
• Green Cocoon: Home advisor accolades for spray foam however after the first reschedule, Candace was a no call no show. Very disappointing
• Weatherize guyz: they do NH and MA energy saving programs and vapor barriers.
• USA Insulation of Southern NH. Franchise but they do have full time employees, no subcontracts. They have a spray foam injection for thin walls. Seems like a good idea but decided on doing underneath first. Estimator was professional.
• Yankee Thermal Imaging: asked for an estimator to contact me back, they eventually did, 3 months later.
• Anderson Insulation of Maine: does not service mobile homes
• Eric’s Maintenance: does a lot of NH energy saving contracts, vapor barrier. Was thorough by email but was offended when asked to meet for an estimate in person.
• Green Era Insulation: never responded
• MJW Drywall and insulation: never responded
• Precision Application: no response
• Preston’s Construction and Spray Foam: thought this would have been a close second. Email correspondence was very good. Unfortunately, once it came time to schedule an in person estimate in January, they said they were booked until November 2022. Possibly don’t do mobile homes. He was a fan of open cell spray foam and did it on his on cabin in northern NH. Some controversy on open foam sprayed underneath due to moisture.
• Valley Insulation: was honest: stopped doing insulation due to cost. Not a lot of experience with mobile homes, had done some vapor barrier work.

I consulted the folks at Colonial about how to reduce the heat loss and moisture problems in our basement, which is a concrete foundation poured in the 1970s, and the weakest link in our thermal envelope. They covered the concrete walls with closed cell foam spray a few inches thick from the floor up past the band joists, and it's made such a difference - much less dampness in the basement in summer, and wonderfully easy to manage temperatures in the space above. All done in a single morning. Great people to work with, and we're very happy with the return on investment - wish we'd done it years ago!

We called Colonial Insulation & Fireproofing and within a few days Chris was at our home advising us of our options for insulating . We chose option #3 after much discussion about heat, winter snow removal , and long run savings. We scheduled an appointment for the work and it consisted of a full day . The men worked very hard especially with the heat of the attic. The job was well done, clean up very efficient , and it looks like a winter wonderland in the attic. We are looking forward to seeing how warm our home will be this winter. Pauline

Crew arrived on schedule and did a remarkable job prepping the basement for closed cell foam application! They essentially covered EVERYTHING with plastic drop sheets! 2" of foam was applied to the sill and entire basement ceiling! Big job done very well! Thorough cleanup followed and they were completed after about 6 hrs on site. The results have been transformational! The floors are much warmer, drafts are gone and my pellet stove is able to keep the entire house warm at 2 lbs/hour feed rate. I would highly recommend this product and contractor! Thank you Colonial!
