Can I DIY Spray Foam Insulation?
Asked by J4cK_Fruit$
I'm curious about doing my own spray foam insulation. Is there a DIY option that works well or any kits you would recommend?
Answers
I used a Froth Pak spray foam kit that's about the size of a small propane canister. It ran me around $400 and could cover about 150 linear feet of 2x10 rim joist. The kit comes with everything you need to start spraying!

You can definitely DIY it, but be warned that buying a full spray foam rig can be pricier than hiring a contractor. Also, it's a good idea to get an energy audit before starting any foam work.

Yes! There are DIY spray foam kits available, like Tigerfoam. Just keep in mind that unless it's a tiny job, such as sealing rim joints, it might end up being more cost-effective to hire a pro for larger areas.
