Performance Foam Tech

My Pacifica house looks right at the ocean and when the wind blows that cold damp foggy air was blowing into my crawl space vents and creating a balloon effect in my subfloor. I crawled in there one time, squeezed a part of the fiberglass with my fist and water came dripping out. I never knew fiberglass could act like an absorbing sponge. Aside from an uncomfortable living situation, I was worried about my house being a mold factory and making the inhabitants sick if I just let it go.
Anyway, the cold-​air positive wind pressure in the crawlspace was forcing its way through all the nooks and crannies of my subfloor and through the fiberglass into the house. My first floor has always been cold and drafty, even after the heater just shut off.
Mikes team came in after the home depot squad pulled out all the existing fiberglass and sprayed out their 2 – 3 inches of closed cell foam insulation. Guess what… no more drafty areas on the first floor and the heater does not kick on half as much as it did before. Money well spent and no more drafty first floor.
Mikes team was good at protecting my house from any accidents. You will understand this better when you see how the unhardened foam behaves. Once you get it on something… chances you will not get it all off. The stuff can be really really nasty if you don’t know how to work with it.
Anyway, this was mid 2012 and I am considering have my attic done now. I have noticed the mice droppings up there and they are storing their food in pocket area corners. I figure that if I remove the fiberglass they wont have a nice blanket to live in when things get chilly outside. I have got to deal with this before things really get out of hand.
Anyway… nothing but 5 Stars to Mike and his team for the earlier work. Looks like I will be calling them again.

For years I’ve dreaded winters in our home. Part of our home’s original foundation is built on pier and post with an open crawl space. This area happens to be where the master bedroom/​bath and kitchen sit. Although we have forced air central heating, this part of the house was always freezing. I had to bring a small portable space heater wherever I was in this part of our home. We are so happy (and warm) now that we’ve had Performance Foam Tech insulate! An immediate, noticeable difference was felt. No more portable heater. Our heating system is not continuously turning on or running as before, as the air is staying warmer.
Mike and his crew were extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Jo was very friendly, courteous and accommodating in scheduling our time. Thank you so much!

We have a cottage that was built in ~1932 and if I told you the single pane windows and paper thin (non insulated) wooden walls create a rather costly or chilly evening it would be a total understatement.
Anyhow, we spent some time with a contractor asking how much it might cost to rectify, the answer was — ‘alot’.
We’d need to put a false wall in the inside of the house and replace all the windows, however, what he suggested was to place a call into Mike at foam tech and see what he said.
My wife spoke to him as did I. The general gist is that heat doesn’t rise but cold air does. Therefore any cold coming into the bottom of the house will try to push the hot air up. Conventional wisdom led me to think of insulating the loft, stoping the door drafts and changing the windows. Mike felt that by just putting a 2″ layer of foam in the crawl space on the bottom side of the floor thus insulating the largest single exterior surface area. By doing this is should make a big difference on the inside temp as well as strengthen the floors and provide better sound proofing.
I have to say I was pretty skeptical but faced with a monster ‘bill and build’ it seemed a smart hedge. Suffice to say Mike and team came over, foamed our under floor and forced air vent pipes in ½ day and the results were simply remarkable.
1… Have you ever stuck your hand over a forced air vent and felt a cold draft … Yup, Me too and no longer
2… We’ d never had to sleep with the window open in the bedroom and now we do
3… Pretty much every morning the 1^st thing to do was to turn on the gas fire and now it’s to open the door.
Net/​net, it actually made a massive difference so I would both recommend under floor foam insulation and of course foam tech. Much appreciated Mike, true professional from front to back…

Mike is extremely knowledgeable about foam. Had crawl space insulated and it took better part of the day.
He did not rec. insulating the attic.
Friendly and professional.
Seems like our house is warmer this winter. The biggest change is that our master bedroom is not as cold.
This is not as cheap as (3X more than) using BATS insulation.

Mike Morgan, the owner insulated a friend’s old victorian home here in Pacific Grove. He came highly recommended. Mike came to my home to measure and talk about the process.
A day of removing the old under the house insulation preceded the foam application. Pacific Grove is damp and cold. The insulation just wasn’t satisfactory for keeping the house warm.
Mike and his sidekick came, and while I vacated the house, they finished an hour early. There was no smell, no dust. Now, my home is warmer and retains the heat generated by the forced air heater.
He checked back a few days later to see if things were smooth.

Outstanding service! I recently hired them to foam under our floor boards to help eliminate cold spots in the house, like my son’s room. We already have R39 blown-​in insulation in the attic, rock wool in the walls and yet still we would have to turn the (new) heater up to 71 at night just to keep our son’s bedroom at 65 degrees. The only thing left to insulated was the floor. We have a stem/​wall constructed house with wood flooring. The guys were amazing. Not only were they able to get us on the schedule quickly, but they were fast and the house was clean when they left. We saw an immediate difference that night. Our heater is now down to 67 at night at my son’s room stays a perfect ⁶⁵⁄₆₆. Another added bonus, our wood floor doesn’t squeak at all!

Performance Foam Tech was and is awesome. Before ‘the foam’ we felt like we were camping in our own house (85 year old house) during the winter months. We priced double paned windows and couldn’t afford that. So, we foot the bill for the foam… AMAZING! Our house has all hardwood and tile… most of the squeaking from the wood floors stopped and stopped the echo when just walking down the hallway. Now, our house is at least 10 degrees warmer, feels more solid and the cost was less than half what the windows would have been. They took just 8 hours and they were on time. Thank you so much Michael Morgan and your amazing team! Joe and Heidi

these guys are amazing. They have more experience with foam insulation than anyone else I talked to, they are fast, meticulous, and are a better deal than most. I highly recommend them. Note — they’re not in SF but they work all over the Bay Area.
