It’s too easy to make mistakes when installing spray foam insulation in Houston on your own. 

Many homeowners think that they can install their spray foam insulation on their own, but it’s always a good idea to hire a contractor. Not only will you get better results, but you’ll also be able to avoid the common DIY insulation mistakes many homeowners make. In our last blog, our experts went over just a couple of those mistakes. Here are a couple more DIY mistakes you can avoid when you hire an insulation installation contractor:

Mistake #3. Using the same kind of insulation in every part of your home. 

Both closed-cell and open-cell are unique, and each option has its own pros and cons. It is also important to note that both of these options have their own specific uses. For example, closed-cell spray foam is ideal for cold floors and metal buildings, whereas open-cell spray foam is ideal for home insulation and sound rooms.

Mistake #4. Guessing about home much insulation you’re going to need. 

Unless you regularly install insulation on a daily basis, you probably don’t have the experience to accurately guess how much insulation you’re going to need. This can leave you with inadequate coverage. Only a contractor who has experience and expertise will be able to make an accurate estimate about how much insulation you’ll need.

Although we’ve gone over several costly mistakes that are common with DIY insulation installations, you should know that there are many more you could avoid by hiring a professional. Get your insulation installation done right the first time by contacting Eskimo Insulation today!
