WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING A SPRAY FOAM INSULATION BUSINESS
Starting Your Business or Expanding Your Service? Get Help From Spray Foam Experts At IDI
Spray foam is so much more than what people think of when they think of insulation. Rather than installing something someone else made in a factory, you are custom manufacturing it on site. And the results are awesome. No single product is as versatile or performs quite as well as spray foam.
For almost two decades, IDI has been the industry leader in everything related to spray foam. In that time, IDI has trained well over 2,500 contractors and installers on building science, building codes, proper installation techniques, troubleshooting, parts and equipment, marketing and so much more. From building customized spray foam rigs to helping you build your own, our goal is to make it easy for you to succeed and be the best.
How to Start a Spray Foam Insulation Company
IDI is proud to help contractors take the fear out of getting into spray foam or even becoming a spray foam insulation contractor all together.
From your first call, and every step of the way after, we make sure you know exactly what you are getting into and help you avoid any unforeseen pitfalls. Once you purchase your spray foam rig, we send out one of IDI’s SPF Technical Experts. This individual is not a salesperson — we send someone who has spent a good portion of their career actually spraying good foam. They are passionate about foam and will train you on everything related to your rig.
We make our technicians’ jobs easier by only offering solid foams from great manufacturers for them to train you with. Once you’re ready to pull the trigger and start spraying your first job, you can rest easy knowing you are spraying industry-leading spray foam from the best manufacturers.
IDI carefully vets each supplier and makes sure the spray foams are fully credentialed with testing that goes above and beyond industry standards. Starting a business or new product line is hard enough, IDI provides the products, training, and support, specifically designed to eliminate headaches and ensure your success.
Why Your Business Should Start Using Spray Foam
Spray foam has become popular because it works. You will never have to apologize for the performance of the product. It is the only product that air seals, insulates, and addresses all three forms of thermal transfer. Spray foam can block moisture transfer, increase racking strength, and add to the resilience of a building. Additionally, spray foams can be used for sound attenuation, concrete lifting, ground stabilization, refrigeration, reduction of thermal bridging, flotation, and so much more.
From pole barns to houses, and from skyscrapers to strip malls, spray foam insulation is being used everywhere. And, like any other trade, the market is always looking for good contractors.
