What Makes a Good Spray Foam Contractor? 5 Questions to Ask Before You Hire

🛠️ Not all spray foam jobs are equal. Here’s how to hire the right crew near you

If you’ve searched “spray foam insulation near me,” you’re probably seeing a lot of options. So how do you choose the right contractor?


Spray foam insulation is a technical, high-performance job, and hiring the wrong crew can lead to wasted money, mess, and worse: insulation that doesn’t actually work.


Here are 5 smart questions to ask before hiring anyone.

❓ 1. Are You Certified and Insured?

Spray foam requires precision. A reputable contractor should have:

  • Spray foam certification (CUFCA or equivalent)
  • Liability insurance & WCB coverage
  • Knowledge of Alberta Building Code standards

Aires Spray Foam is fully certified, insured, and trusted across Edmonton & Alberta.


❓ 2. Do You Offer Both Open-Cell and Closed-Cell Foam?

Each type of spray foam has its place. Ask if the contractor offers both, and whether they can explain what’s best for your space (attic, basement, garage, metal building, etc.).

We assess each job and recommend the right product, not just one-size-fits-all.


❓ 3. Can I See Past Work or Customer Reviews?

Photos, reviews, and referrals speak volumes. Look for before/after shots, especially of similar projects (residential, commercial, ag). Check out our recent jobs in garages, Quonsets, and custom homes across Alberta. Clean, consistent results every time.


❓ 4. What’s Your Process for Prep and Clean-Up?

A good contractor takes care of your space — from masking off framing to cleaning up after the job. We pride ourselves on clean installs and flawless framing with zero overspray.


❓ 5. Do You Offer a Free, On-Site Quote?

The best contractors want to understand your space before pricing it. They’ll assess insulation needs, code requirements, and offer transparent, no-pressure pricing.

We offer free, no-obligation quotes across Edmonton, rural Alberta, and beyond.
