Measuring comes first at Belleville Spray Foam Insulation, both before the price and during the spraying. A quote from us names the product, the inches and the square feet, so it lines up item by item against any competing price you collect. Once the job wraps up, the depth on the wall matches the depth on the paper.
Spray foam insulation is the only product we install. That keeps the advice simple. If a part of your house would be better served by something else, we will say so before you spend money, and we will still price the parts where foam is the right answer.
Our about page covers the way a Belleville job runs, and finished spaces are pictured on our work page.
Eleven services, from the cellar wall to the roof boards, each with its own page.
Warm air escaping upward is the main cost of a leaky Belleville attic. Attic spray foam insulation closes those openings, either across the ceiling or up on the roof boards, depending on what the attic is used for. Each attic job is fully insured.

A finished basement goes mouldy when warm room air touches cold concrete. Basement spray foam insulation sticks directly to the poured or block wall so that air never reaches it. Closed cell foam goes on the foundation, the rim joists and the slab edge, and each basement job is fully insured.

Basement apartment spray foam insulation gives a second unit warm walls, a dry floor edge and a quieter ceiling. We install closed cell foam on the foundation and rim joists and open cell foam between the floors. Each job we do is fully insured.

Frozen pipes and icy floors usually trace back to the crawl space. Crawl space spray foam insulation goes on the foundation walls and rim joists, over a taped ground sheet, so the space holds close to house temperature. Insurance covers every crawl space we do.

Bedrooms over a garage are cold, and exhaust can drift in from below. Foam closes the shared wall, the ceiling and the outside walls of attached and detached garages alike. Garage work is fully insured.

A Victorian house loses most of its heat through the attic, the knee walls, the basement and the band joist. Century home spray foam insulation goes after those four places first and leaves the old brick alone. Work on heritage homes is fully insured.

Cold concrete, crawl space walls and the floor over a garage all call for closed cell spray foam insulation. It packs roughly R-6 to R-7 into each inch, stops air outright and stops vapour once two inches are on. Closed cell jobs are fully insured.

Noise through a ceiling or a bathroom wall is the usual reason to choose open cell spray foam insulation. It is light and springy, rates about R-3.5 to R-3.8 an inch, stops drafts and soaks up sound. Open cell work is fully insured.

A new Belleville house only has one chance to be sealed properly, and it is before the drywall. New construction spray foam insulation fills the stud bays, corners and pipe holes while everything is exposed. We fit the builder's calendar, and new-build work is fully insured.

Sunrooms, additions and closed-in porches are often the coldest rooms in a house, with three outside walls and a chilly floor. Home addition spray foam insulation brings the new room up to the comfort of the old one. Addition jobs are fully insured.

New foam will not stick to failed foam, soggy batts or dusty old loose fill. Insulation removal strips the space back to clean wood or concrete first, then new spray foam insulation goes on. We cut, bag and haul it all away, and removal work is fully insured.
View Insulation Removal and ReplacementSpray foam insulation seals the gaps that let warm air leak out, so the furnace runs less often through a long Quinte winter.
Closed cell foam stops water vapour at the thickness we install it, which keeps a cold basement wall from growing mould behind the finish.
The foam fills every corner of an odd-shaped cavity, including the ones a batt of fibreglass cannot reach in an old house.
Closed cell foam adds stiffness to the walls and roof it is bonded to, which matters on older framing.
Open cell foam soaks up sound, so it quiets the floor between a main house and a basement apartment.
Spray foam insulation does not sag, settle or slump over time, so the R-value you pay for is the R-value you keep.
We stop by, measure, and test the walls for damp and cold. Afterward a written quote arrives, priced space by space with the foam and inches named, and you are free to say no.
Damp basement walls are the most common call we get in Belleville, and closed cell spray foam insulation is usually the fix. The city is built on heavily fractured limestone. Water moves through the cracks in the rock and reaches the outside of the foundation, so the wall stays cold and wet for much of the year.
Fibreglass batts held against that wall trap moisture and turn musty. Closed cell foam bonds straight to the concrete or block, blocks the warm indoor air from reaching it, and holds up if the wall gets wet. Read the full basement insulation page before you frame a single wall.
Belleville now allows up to four homes on most serviced lots in town, which has turned a lot of basements into rental units. A basement apartment needs warm walls, a dry floor and a quiet ceiling between the two households. Spray foam insulation handles all three in one visit.
We use closed cell foam on the foundation walls and the rim joists, and open cell foam in the ceiling to cut noise from the floor above. The basement apartment insulation page covers what an inspector expects to see before the drywall goes up.
An ice dam is what happens when attic heat thaws the snow higher up the roof and the meltwater freezes again over the eaves. Belleville gets around 140 cm of snow in an average winter, so a leaky attic shows itself every February. Spray foam insulation seals the ceiling and the top plates where warm air escapes into the attic.
Cathedral ceilings and finished attic rooms get foam on the roof boards themselves. The attic insulation page explains which approach fits which house.
Belleville has a large stock of Victorian brick and stone homes, from Old East Hill to the streets around the downtown core. These homes were built without insulation, and their solid masonry walls behave differently from a modern stud wall. Spray foam insulation works very well in their attics, rim joists, basements and knee walls.
Solid brick walls need extra thought, because the brick has to stay able to dry. We will tell you where foam belongs in an older house and where it does not. The century home insulation page goes through it room by room.
A cold floor in a bungalow or an addition usually sits over a crawl space with fallen batts or none at all. That is common in the older parts of town and out in Cannifton, Corbyville and Foxboro. Closed cell spray foam insulation on the crawl space walls and rim joist brings the whole space inside the warm part of the house.
The pipes stop freezing, the floor warms up and the musty smell fades. See our crawl space insulation page for how the job is done.
A bedroom over an attached garage sits on top of an unheated space. Cold air moves under the floor and through every gap in the shared wall. Closed cell spray foam insulation under that floor and along the shared wall fixes the cold room and keeps garage fumes out of the house.
We also insulate detached garages and workshops so they can be heated in winter. Our garage insulation page has more detail.
Closed cell is the heavy, hard-setting product. Each inch is worth roughly R-6 to R-7, and two inches of it holds back water vapour, so it belongs on concrete, under floors and against roof boards. Open cell is the light, spongy product, worth about R-3.5 an inch, and vapour passes straight through it.
Open cell is the better choice for sound control inside the house and for deep cavities that stay warm. We explain the difference on the closed cell spray foam and open cell spray foam pages.
The best time to install spray foam insulation is while the framing is open. New subdivisions are going up in the west end of Belleville, and many families are adding rooms onto older homes. In both cases, every stud bay, corner and pipe hole is easy to reach before the walls are closed.
We work to the builder's schedule and leave the walls ready for the drywall crew. See the new construction insulation and home addition insulation pages.
Foam with a bad mix, a cold surface under it or too much laid on at once can shrink, split or keep smelling for months. More foam on top will not cure it. The bad layer gets cut away until bare, sound wood shows again.
The same goes for wet batts after a basement flood and for old blown-in insulation full of dust and droppings. Our insulation removal and replacement page explains the process.
Under the Ontario Building Code, foam inside a lived-in room has to sit behind a fire-resisting layer. Half-inch gypsum board is the normal answer for a finished room. Spaces nobody occupies, such as attics and crawl spaces, can take a tested coating sprayed over the foam.
We include that requirement in every quote, so you know before the job starts what has to go over the foam and who will do it.
Three things set the price of spray foam insulation: which foam, how many inches and how many square feet. Around the Quinte Region, closed cell usually lands between $1.75 and $3.50 for each board foot, while open cell lands between $0.90 and $1.60. One board foot means a square foot of foam an inch deep.
Access, prep work and any old insulation that has to come out also change the number. Your written quote is the real answer, and the visit to produce it is free.
Some insulation jobs qualify under Ontario's Home Renovation Savings Program. In most cases an energy advisor has to assess the house first, and eligibility turns on your heating fuel and how many upgrades are bundled. The program has changed its amounts and deadlines more than once.
Check the program's own website before you book, and tell us if you plan to apply. We will put the details the program asks for into your quote.
A visit to the house comes first. We tape each area, test the walls for damp and take their temperature, then send a written price broken down room by room.
Spray day starts with plastic over floors, windows and belongings, a sealed-off work zone and fans moving air out of the house.
The wall temperature is read before the gun is opened. Foam goes on in layers, with a depth probe checked between them.
We trim the foam where it is needed, clean up and remove the masking. We tell you when the area can be used again.
Before leaving, we show you what went in and hand over the details on paper.

We install spray foam insulation across the whole City of Belleville, including Old East Hill, West Hill, the west end subdivisions, Cannifton, Corbyville, Foxboro and Point Anne. We also work in Quinte West, Trenton, Frankford, Stirling, Shannonville, Deseronto, Tweed and Prince Edward County.
Houses along the Bay of Quinte and the Moira River tend to fight wet basements and raw wind off the water. Farmhouses north of the 401 tend to sit on stone walls and shallow crawl spaces. Both turn up on our schedule all the time. To check an address, phone (613) 912-7508 or send it through our contact page.

Local market pricing puts closed cell at $1.75 to $3.50 a board foot and open cell at $0.90 to $1.60. Square footage, inches and how hard the space is to reach move the final number. We come and quote for free.
Closed cell is better against a concrete or block foundation wall. It stops vapour at two inches and handles dampness. Open cell lets vapour pass and should not be used against a cold foundation.
No, not where people live. Code wants a protective layer over it, normally gypsum board half an inch thick. An attic or crawl space can have a tested coating instead.
Most families are back in the space the next day. Fans run while we spray, and you get the re-entry window for that specific product in writing.
Yes. Spray foam insulation goes in through every Belleville winter. A cold wall stops foam from sticking, so we take its temperature and bring in heaters when it needs them. More answers are on our FAQ page.
