YouTube makes it look easy. Grab a can, spray some foam, and save money right? Not so fast. When it comes to whole-home or barn insulation, DIY can become a disaster.

By hiring a certified team like Aires Spray Foam, you get the job done safely, quickly, and with guaranteed results. We follow Alberta’s building codes, use commercial-grade equipment, and leave zero mess behind.


Save yourself the stress. Book a pro-level spray foam install with Aires done right the first time.
