Why spray foam fits Boca Raton
On the Palm Beach County coast, spray foam does two jobs at once: it insulates and it air-seals. Closed-cell foam adds structural rigidity and blocks wind-driven moisture — a real advantage on Boca's Atlantic-facing homes — while open-cell is a cost-effective choice for interior walls and sound control in two-story houses.
Sealed attics for West Boca two-story homes
Many newer homes in west Boca's gated communities have the AC air handler and ductwork in the attic. Spraying closed-cell foam to the underside of the roof deck brings that whole space inside the conditioned envelope, dropping attic temperatures from 130°F+ to near room temperature and taking a big load off the AC.
Moisture done right on the coast
Foam is powerful, but only when the assembly is designed correctly for a hot-humid coastal climate. We evaluate ventilation, roof type, and vapor drive before we spray so you get performance without trapping moisture in the roof structure.
