  • What types of insulation does your company offer?

    As a full-service insulation company, we specialize in several types of insulation to meet various needs. Our primary services include installing spray foam insulation (both open-cell and closed-cell) and traditional fiberglass insulation. We also offer blown-in insulation services.

  • What is the difference between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam insulation?

    Open-cell spray foam is less dense and has a spongy texture. It's excellent for sound dampening and provides a good air seal, but it is not a vapor barrier. Closed-cell spray foam is much denser and more rigid. It offers a higher R-value per inch and acts as an effective air and vapor barrier, making it ideal for areas that may be exposed to moisture.

  • Which is better for my home: fiberglass or spray foam insulation?

    The best choice depends on your specific needs, budget, and the area being insulated. Spray foam insulation typically offers a higher R-value and superior air sealing, leading to greater energy efficiency and long-term savings. Fiberglass insulation is a more traditional and cost-effective option that provides solid thermal performance when installed correctly. Our experts can help you decide which is right for your project.

  • Are you a licensed and insured spray foam insulation contractor?

    Yes, D&A Spray Foam Insulation LLC is a fully licensed and insured spray foam insulation contractor. We have over 8 years of experience and adhere to the highest industry standards for safety and quality on every project.

  • What are the main benefits of upgrading my home's insulation?

    Upgrading your insulation offers numerous benefits, including lower energy bills by reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. It also improves indoor comfort, enhances soundproofing, and can increase your property's overall value.

  • Can you remove old or damaged insulation?

    Yes, we provide professional insulation removal services. It is crucial to safely remove old, inefficient, or contaminated (e.g., mold or pest-infested) insulation before installing a new system. Our team handles removal and disposal properly to ensure a clean and safe environment for your new insulation.

  • How long does an insulation installation take?

    The project timeline depends on the size of the area and the type of insulation being installed. A typical residential project can often be completed in one to two days. 

  • What areas do you serve?

    We are proud to serve a wide range of communities in Alabama. Our primary service areas include Clanton, Alexander City, Huntsville, Helena, Hoover, Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, and the surrounding counties like Shelby, Jefferson, and Chilton.

  • What is R-value and why is it important?

    R-value measures an insulation material's ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater its insulating power. Different areas of a home require different R-values, and our team can recommend the appropriate levels for your attic, walls, and crawl spaces based on local building codes and climate.
