    What Insulation Services Do We Offer in St. John’s?

    Greenfoot provides spray foam, blown-in, batt, and soundproofing insulation for St. John’s homes, covering attics, walls, basements, and crawl spaces.

    Our team of experts offers a wide range of insulation services to meet your specific needs — from thermal performance to acoustic comfort.

    Spray Foam Insulation

    R-6 to R-7 per inch (closed-cell)

    Closed-cell and open-cell spray foam provides superior air sealing and the highest R-value per inch. Creates a seamless vapor barrier that eliminates drafts and moisture intrusion.

    Best for: Basements, crawl spaces, rim joists, exterior walls, and areas requiring air sealing and moisture barrier

    Blown-In Insulation

    R-3.2 to R-3.8 per inch

    Loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass blown into attics, walls, and enclosed cavities. Fills irregular spaces and gaps that batt insulation misses, providing excellent coverage.

    Best for: Attics, enclosed wall cavities, hard-to-reach spaces, and topping up existing insulation

    Batt & Poly Insulation

    R-3.1 to R-4.2 per inch

    Traditional fiberglass or mineral wool batts with poly vapor barrier. Cost-effective for new construction and accessible renovation projects with standard stud spacing.

    Best for: New construction walls, accessible attics, floor assemblies, and renovation projects with open stud bays

    Soundproofing Insulation

    STC 45-65 rating

    Specialized acoustic insulation to reduce noise transmission between rooms, floors, and from exterior sources. Mineral wool and resilient channel systems for maximum sound control.

    Best for: Shared walls, home offices, media rooms, bedrooms above living spaces, and exterior noise reduction

    Why Do St. John’s Homes Need Better Insulation?

    St. John’s's cold winters and humid summers create unique insulation challenges, and upgrading can reduce heating costs by 30 to 50% while preventing moisture damage.

    St. John's is one of Canada's windiest, wettest, and snowiest cities. The combination of extreme marine weather and aging housing stock makes comprehensive insulation upgrades essential. From downtown row houses to suburban developments, every St. John's home benefits from proper insulation.

    St. John’s's Insulation Challenges

    Downtown row houses and older Signal Hill homes have minimal insulation and major air leakage

    Street noise in downtown and along major routes like Torbay Road disrupts residential quiet

    What Do St. John’s Homeowners Ask About Insulation?

    Below are expert answers to the most common insulation questions from St. John’s homeowners, covering costs, types, R-values, and rebates.

    Common questions about insulation services in St. John’s, NL

    What types of insulation does Greenfoot install in St. John’s?
    We install four types of insulation in St. John’s: spray foam (open-cell and closed-cell), blown-in cellulose and fiberglass, batt & poly insulation, and soundproofing insulation. Our Home Comfort Advisor recommends the right combination based on your home's specific needs, construction type, and budget.
    What R-value insulation does my St. John’s home need?
    St. John’s is in Climate Zone 6, which requires R-60 attic, R-22 walls for optimal energy efficiency. The right R-value depends on the area being insulated — attics need the highest R-value, while walls and basements have different requirements. Our free assessment determines exactly what your St. John’s home needs.
    How much can I save on Newfoundland Power bills with better insulation in St. John’s?
    St. John’s homeowners with Newfoundland Power service typically see meaningful reductions in heating costs after insulation upgrades. The exact savings depend on your current insulation levels, heating system, and home size. Homes with Downtown row houses, 1960s–1980s bungalows, and suburban developments often see the biggest improvements. Contact us for a free assessment and personalized estimate.
    Which areas of my St. John’s home should be insulated first?
    Priority areas include attics (the biggest source of heat loss), followed by basements and crawl spaces, exterior walls, and then interior walls for soundproofing. In St. John’s's Zone 6 climate, st. john's extreme wind-driven precipitation and fog create persistent moisture challenges for all housing types, so addressing moisture-prone areas with spray foam is often the first recommendation.
    How long does insulation installation take in St. John’s?
    Most residential insulation projects in St. John’s are completed in 1-3 days depending on the scope. A single-area project like attic blown-in takes 4-8 hours. Multi-area projects combining spray foam, blown-in, and batt may take 2-3 days. Note: for spray foam applications, you'll need to vacate the home for 24 hours after application.
    Can soundproofing insulation reduce noise in my St. John’s home?
    Yes — our soundproofing insulation significantly reduces noise transmission between rooms, floors, and from exterior sources. We use mineral wool and resilient channel systems to achieve STC ratings of 45-65, which dramatically reduces sound transfer. This is popular in St. John’s for home offices, bedrooms, media rooms, and homes near busy roads.
    Why is insulation especially important for homes in St. John’s, Newfoundland?
    St. John’s has one of Canada's longest heating seasons at 9+ months per year, and experiences extreme wind-driven rain and cold. Any insulation deficiency is amplified across this extended period, making proper insulation critical for managing Newfoundland Power costs. Our comprehensive approach addresses attic heat loss, basement moisture, and wind-driven air infiltration.

    "I ONLY WISH THEY INSTALLED OUR HEAT PUMP ORIGINALLY"

    Great company to deal with. We hired them to move an existing heat pump after the original installer refused to help us. The estimator and the installer were both very polite, careful and thorough. I only wish they installed our heat pump originally. I would hire them again without hesitation.
