How much does spray foam insulation cost in Boca Raton?

Most Boca Raton homes run $3,500–$9,500 depending on square footage and scope. We give an itemized instant quote by ZIP code, and most homeowners recover the cost in 3–5 years on cooling savings.

Which areas does Cardinal Insulation serve?

We serve Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach, FL — the entire tri-city corridor from the Boca inlet to Boynton's western estates.

How is Cardinal different from other insulation companies?

We run a 10-point inspection the industry skips, use local crews, quote same day, and back every seal with a lifetime workmanship warranty with FLIR proof reports.

Will spray foam lower my FPL bill?

Yes. Our sealed homes average a 37% cooling-cost reduction. Closed-cell foam plus a radiant barrier reflects up to 97% of radiant heat gain.

How fast can you inspect my home?

Same-week — usually within 3–5 days, often faster. Use the Schedule Inspection button to grab a real-time slot.

Do you work on new construction and existing homes?

Both. We engineer thermal packages for new builds and retrofit existing homes across Boca, Delray, and Boynton.

Is spray foam safe for Florida humidity and coastal homes?

Yes. Closed-cell foam acts as a moisture barrier and structural reinforcement, ideal for salt-air coastal environments.

Attic Insulation in Greenacres, Florida

The attic is where South Florida homes lose the most conditioned air. Cardinal engineers attic insulation packages — spray foam, radiant barriers, and blown-in — that seal the thermal envelope and cut cooling costs by up to 40%. We start every job with a FLIR inspection to find exactly where your money is leaking.

Attic Insulation for Greenacres Properties

attic insulation is the workhorse of Florida attic retrofits. For Greenacres properties, this is frequently the right specification — but we will tell you plainly when it is not, and when a less expensive approach delivers the same outcome.

Greenacres sits in South Florida, where the recommended attic target is R-38 to R-49. That number, along with where your ductwork runs and what condition the existing assembly is in, is what determines the right specification for your property.

Types and Methods

Spray foam attic insulation

Closed-cell or open-cell foam applied to the roof deck, bringing the attic into the conditioned envelope. This is the highest-performance option — it stops ductwork from running through 140°F air and delivers the largest cooling-cost reduction. It costs more but lasts the life of the home.

Blown-in attic insulation

Fiberglass or cellulose blown to a uniform depth across the attic floor. The most affordable way to reach code R-30 or higher. It fills gaps and voids that batts miss but does not air-seal — we pair it with air sealing for the best result.

Radiant barrier + blown-in

A radiant barrier on the roof deck paired with blown-in on the attic floor. The barrier reflects 97% of radiant heat gain while the blown-in resists conductive heat transfer — a layered defense at a mid-range price point.

Every attic insulation job starts with a FLIR inspection. If we find roof leaks, blocked ventilation, or moisture-damaged insulation, those get corrected first — burying a moisture problem under fresh insulation only hides it and accelerates the damage.

FAQs

Attic Insulation FAQs — Greenacres

Florida code requires R-30 minimum, but we recommend R-38+ for South Florida's cooling load. With spray foam on the roof deck, the attic becomes conditioned space and the effective R-value jumps dramatically — we spec this per home.

Blown-in attic insulation runs $1,500–$4,000. Spray foam attic insulation runs $3,500–$9,500 but delivers far higher performance and air sealing. We quote both options instantly by ZIP code.

Often yes — if it's compressed, contaminated, or moisture-damaged. We inspect with FLIR first and recommend removal only when it actually improves the outcome. Never an upsell for its own sake.
