    What Insulation Services Do We Offer in Saint John?

    Greenfoot provides spray foam, blown-in, batt, and soundproofing insulation for Saint John 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 Saint John Homes Need Better Insulation?

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

    Saint John's position on the Bay of Fundy creates a uniquely challenging climate for homes. Extreme tides, persistent fog, and maritime cold demand insulation that handles both thermal and moisture performance. From Uptown heritage buildings to East Side developments, every home benefits from proper insulation.

    Saint John's Insulation Challenges

    Bay of Fundy fog and tidal moisture create extreme humidity conditions year-round

    Uptown Victorian and Edwardian homes have minimal insulation and significant air infiltration

    Salt air from the port accelerates deterioration of traditional insulation materials

    Port and industrial noise in the South End and Lower West Side requires soundproofing

    How Greenfoot Insulation Helps

    Closed-cell spray foam provides the moisture barrier that Fundy exposure demands for basements

    Blown-in attic insulation achieves R-60 in Victorian-era homes without disturbing plaster ceilings

    Batt insulation brings Kennebecasis Valley homes up to modern energy efficiency standards

    Soundproofing reduces port, rail, and industrial noise for South End and West Side residents

    What Do Saint John Homeowners Ask About Insulation?

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

    Common questions about insulation services in Saint John, NB

    What types of insulation does Greenfoot install in Saint John?
    We install four types of insulation in Saint John: 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 Saint John home need?
    Saint John is in Climate Zone 6, which requires R-60 attic, R-24 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 Saint John home needs.
    How much can I save on NB Power bills with better insulation in Saint John?
    Saint John homeowners with NB 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 Victorian row houses, post-war bungalows, and modern Kennebecasis Valley homes often see the biggest improvements. Contact us for a free assessment and personalized estimate.
    Which areas of my Saint John 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 Saint John's Zone 6 climate, bay of fundy tidal moisture and persistent fog create extreme humidity conditions for saint john building envelopes, so addressing moisture-prone areas with spray foam is often the first recommendation.
    How long does insulation installation take in Saint John?
    Most residential insulation projects in Saint John 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 Saint John 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 Saint John for home offices, bedrooms, media rooms, and homes near busy roads.
    What rebates are available for insulation in Saint John, New Brunswick?
    Saint John homeowners may qualify for federal and New Brunswick provincial energy efficiency rebates when upgrading insulation. NB Power and federal programs can help offset costs. Visit our provincial incentives page or contact us for current information about rebate programs available for your Saint John insulation project.

    "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.
