You're so far up your ass you totally missed the point of those kits, which is that no professional will show up for a 200ft job. Most won't even call you back for a job that small.

There was no cap gap…air flow must occur in order to prevent moisture build up…

nice.. how do you keep hose keep clean

Thanks!

Bullshit!! I have a project of 128sq ft and they want $1200 min. Take them 15 minutes to spray and they😊😊they want $1200

This is not the Space Shutle 😂, Nice Job!

Here's a guy who fkd up, bought all thus expensive equipment then realized he could of went to his local box store and picked up some. He's basically telling us that we can't do it ourselves, that we are dummies. He's protecting his investment. CZcams has lost of videos on how to. If others can do the DIY foam and there's success, then I'm going that route to.

Thanks for the video. The best I watched so far! Can I ask a couple questions? First, some people warned me that the closed cell foam can hinder the expansion and retraction of the wooden ceiling structure possibly damaging it. Is that true? Second, do you recommend a vapor barrier or chamber on a wooden ceiling before applying the foam? Thank you so much!

Hardly hear the man talk then music blasts.

I am looking for different information: I am looking for a picture of the can of spray foam on the shelf at Menads, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc. that says >>> this can of spray foam is open cell >>>> this can of spray foam is closed cell. What I am thinking, or finding, is that the low-expanding type that they sell for window and door frame is probably Closed Cell. They claim it will not bow the frame of the window or door, so it will still open and close easy. They say it only expands up to 1 inch layer. On the other hand, the one they advertize as Gap Filler that expands 3 inches or more is probably Open Cell.

Broooo, that vise tho… absolute game changer💪🏼💥

So if you have a sofit vent with ridge venting shouldn't there be a continuous air barrier between the sheathing and your foam? By code it's required for fiberglass insulation why is spray foam exempt from this code?

Wow the mixed comments some pretty damn rude, but my question is: You repeatedly stated the average homeowner what does a person do when for example they live in an off grid situation in a 396 Sq Ft Tiny Home and the nearest foam contract is a 3 1/2 drive away. The price point as I figured it would be cheaper to use closed cell and do it myself at $2,500.00 versus the quotes I have received that ranged $4,200.00 to $8,500.00 with the biggest chuck of that cost being the 3 1/2 hour drive time. I only post this because I learned real quick having to have a simple perk test on property completed with contractors a mere 20 miles away wanted $3,850.00 just to dig a hole and do a soil test.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain the difference between open and closed . I hung batts like r-11 to r-38, kraft & unfaced, poly, flame spread, etc. then our company went to spray foam insulation, but I was trained poorly bc the new guys just wanted to get the job done. I no longer work there, but I found out they made serious mistakes on the job that got them into a lot of lawsuits.

What kind of tape do you use for seams?

Not a very good video. He doesn't really say anything other than its too hard for a non-professional to do. But why exactly?

I had a project that was moderately sized. A 12 foot by 24 foot metal building. I priced kits I could use and a professional. It was cheaper for the pros. To do than me buying the kits.

You are so full of $hit. I was quoted $11,000 for my pole barn from a contractor. I knew the kid he had working with him and paid him $500 + $2,700 for the kits. He did a fantastic job. I could have save the $500 and did it myself but it was well worth it. The kits can save you a crapload and do the job just as well if you know what you're doing.

Thank you!

Great to know. Wishing you success in your business.

One of the most precise and clearest explanations I've heard on CZcams for a while.

Thank you for the information! What is the make and model of the large flush pot?

Hello, my name is Mario and I don't know what foam to use to fill a hot tub inflatable instead of air so it will be a closed chamber to be filled with foam.please can you advise me what foam would be best for this task high density and is able to cure in closed chamber thankyou

I was dreaming of building a dome home myself and I knew there was a lot to spray foam. Your video helped me see a little bit of Just how much there is to know In order to do it right. Thank you!

"You can't do what we can do" ? Like it's magic or something... lol As an automotive mechanic, I've dealt with this type of guy plenty of times. He's been around the world once and met everybody twice. He's always one step ahead, yep, had it figured out himself just doesn't have the time to do it himself, oh he supplies his own parts too, calls every 10 min for an update, swipes three cards and pawns his watch to pay the bill, then talks shit at the local pub about what a cheat you are. One thing's for sure, he aint mossing any meals.

I have built a shop that is 20x28 and two stories. Unheated garage below, heated shop above. The shop is insulated with fiberglass. I want to insulate the floor of the shop, which is the ceiling of the garage with closed cell foam to provide a vapor barrier and rigidity. The floor joists are 9 1/2" TJI's 20" long. I was going to install a row of solid bridging when I thought that I would be insulating with fiberglass, but now wonder if it is needed with the additional structural support from the closed cell. I also wonder if the bridging/blocking would take away from the structural integrity of the foam by preventing a continuous application of foam. The floor is pretty stiff with only a little spring to it, but any improvement would be welcome. Thank you for reading my ramblings', and I look forward to your response. Thank you, Charlie

You flow a good video. 👍

Very interesting, nice pattern , i never do wall foam but i will buy one to try it on roofs, but nice technic man jod job

Bullshit. Nice try though. LMAO. Sure spray foam is much harder than just "Nailing two boards together....". So yeah, frame your own house, but don't DARE try to spray insulation.

People, these kits are GREAT. I was quoted 10 THOUSAND dollars to foam my shop, I spent $1500 (three kits of closed cell foam) and my shop is so nice now. I used to spray foam for ranger boats, these kits are GREAT and just fine. These guys are just pissed it's putting them out of business. LMAO

How are you going to say not to use it when you said it yourself that you use it on smaller jobs. The equipment you have is everything included in the kit. The only big difference is the spray nozzle may not be as efficient as the kit and the gas pressure not as constant as the air compressor. These sprayers are buying 55 gallon drums closed cell at like $3-3.5k thats 4500 board ft but in DIY kits its about $5500-6k but they are charging 15k minimum to spray that amount. These sprayers are gate keeping the spray foam. If you don't care about $, don't have time or intimidated then hire a professional but if you willing to try and decent at DIY projects, do your prep properly and you'll save yourself 50-60%.

I am only doing an 8’x8’ wall…. Not sure a spray foam contractor would even consider coming to do the job. To me this is the perfect answer for me. Thanks for the video.

What about in climates with very hot summers

“Don’t do it yourself! That hurts our business!”

Damn that big a video to be job scared

Thank you fantastic video easy and concise . Keep up the great work.

If you can do it I can do it too. The difference between you and I is I will actually show up to the job. The biggest problem with contractors is they don’t show up to do the job so homeowners are forced to learn and do it themselves

You are so Wrong! At least in my case. Crawl space PNW Sealed it great and keeps the rodents out.

If you are a DYI person in the first place, then doing it yourself is a no brainer. But I realize if the consumer does it himself, you'f lose business. Good video, but just reinforced for me do it myself.

This is Great information for the homeowner, like myself. Feel like I’m now well informed and prepared to ask the right questions of any spray foam contractor here in Connecticut. Thank you!

Great video. Thanks for the information. I'm looking to insulate a couple of 'vaulted' rooms in our home, that are easy to make isolated, due to the lay out of the rooms and roof rafters. I am thinking closed cell, because the rafters are 2x4. The home was built in the 50s. Also I am thinking about eliminating the vent baffles so the foam can be sprayed right on the roof sheeting, with no ventilation, and we get the maximum depth. The home is in CA..... any thoughts? Thanks again.

The target for these type products are small jobs. If the job is too small, you probably wouldn't find anyone to do it or they would charge you a huge setup charge. My labor cost is $0/hr and have the time to use much cheaper rigid foamboard and fill in the cracks with productss like Great Stuff and Froth Pack.

dose close cell mean its ok for wall cavities?

nice job.....but ten minute video... at minute 4 finally starts talking about the trailer...

Bad focus, Hard to watch when u know it😅

The only reason why the prices are comparative is because they package 2 cheap chemicals together in an easy manner and mark it up ridiculously… like you do with yours lol except you don’t mark up the material like them, you mark it up a bit and add labour.

quoted 2500 froth pack 405 lol

😮nice

Tape a clear plastic glass on to ur mask put a rolly on top of that

After listening to this DB! Im all about the do it yourself product! Tbis dude is a ding a ling
