Getting into the spray foam industry has proven to be a major stepping stone onto the path of success for many an insulation contractor, whether they are just getting
into the insulation game or they are an existing insulation
company that specializes in fiberglass or cellulose applications
and are considering augmenting their business. As the
construction industry – with refined government regulations
for energy-efficient structures in tow – expanded, so did the
demand for energy-efficient technologies like SPF. Guided
by this consistent need for spray foam applications in the
residential and commercial construction sectors, insulation
contractors grew less hesitant to make respective investments
to add spray foam to their list of services. However, there
How the proper spray foam equipment can facilitate
success for entry-level contractors, traditional spray
foam contractors, and seasoned SPF contractors
are many current and potential contractors out there that
still find taking the initial step to incorporate SPF to their
business somewhat daunting.
This uncertainty stems from the initial cost, as well as
the complexities of spray foam equipment in terms of
maintenance. Truth is, spray foam equipment can be expensive
and it can break down in the field, so a contractor may not
be willing to sustain the additional cost or the intensive labor
required to troubleshoot equipment issues. Therefore, finding
cost-effective, yet efficient, SPF equipment can be the tipping
point for a contractor to break into spray foam and, in doing
so, revamp their business model.
