The garage is the space people most want to be warmer and least often have treated properly. It is also the space whose insulation decides the comfort of a room you are already paying to heat, because whatever sits above it shares a floor with it.
Foam suits garages because it seals the difficult parts: the header over the door, the top plate, the junction with the house, and the ceiling.

When the room upstairs never comes up to temperature, the floor dividing it from the garage is the reason. That cavity is open to outdoor air on three sides and fibreglass in it achieves very little, because air simply flows around it.
Closed cell in that cavity seals and insulates together. It is among the most noticeable single improvements available to a house, because the change in that room shows up straight away.
The same holds for a floor that overhangs the storey below, or a room built above an open porch.
Where a garage adjoins the house, the party wall is a fire separation as well as an insulated one, so both the material going on it and the finish covering it matter.
A detached garage or shop is its own building. Walls and roof both want treating, and the roof is where the value sits if there is any intention of heating it.
Overhead doors leak regardless of what you do around them. We will tell you plainly what the door is costing you and whether it deserves attention before or after the insulation.
Sealed and insulated, a garage becomes a space a small heater can genuinely hold. Before that, heating one is close to heating the yard.
If a workshop, a gym or a woodshop is the plan, say so at quote stage. The depth we specify differs depending on whether you want to work in there in February or simply want the room above to stop being cold.
Foam in a garage that gets used falls under the same covering requirement as anywhere else people spend time, with half inch board the usual answer.
Most people finish a garage anyway, so this is often work already on the list. We will tell you where it applies before you set the budget.
We measure it, look at the door, the ceiling and the shared wall, and give you one written figure.

Cape Breton Spray Foam Insulation covers attics, foundations, crawl spaces, garages and new builds right across the island.
More heat leaves through the top of a house than through any other single surface, and the top of a house is also the cheapest place to intervene. Warm air rises, finds the openings around fixtures, hatches, plumbing stacks and wall plates, and departs.

Three separate problems meet in a basement. The wall touches wet ground, masonry moves heat readily, and the joint where framing lands on the foundation leaks air right around the building.
View Basement Insulation
Everything true of a foundation wall is true here, only on your elbows. Too little headroom, bare ground beneath, a difficult way in, and all of it directly under a floor people walk on.
View Crawl Space Insulation
A building still open is the one chance to get the envelope right with everything reachable and nothing to dismantle first. The air barrier can be continuous by design instead of assembled from patches.

Two products share the name and they are not substitutes for one another. Getting that choice right is most of what separates a lasting installation from an expensive lesson.
View Closed Cell and Open Cell Spray Foam
Some insulation has to leave before anything else can begin. Saturated batts, contaminated loose fill, material rodents have been through, and foam that went on badly the first time.
