We run commercial insulation as a real division, not as residential crews sent to a job site. Spray foam, batt, mineral wool, thermal and ignition barriers, firestopping, metal building insulation and intumescent coatings, scoped and scheduled to hold a construction calendar.

Current and recent work spans tenant improvement, hotels, multifamily, industrial, municipal, mining and oil and gas. That includes a 150,000 square foot parking structure being foamed and coated on the underside.

What We Self-Perform

• Open cell and closed cell spray polyurethane foam
• Intumescent coatings and thermal or ignition barriers over exposed foam
• Commercial batt and mineral wool, including acoustic assemblies
• Firestopping
• Metal building insulation
• Air and vapor barrier work
• Blown-in and loose fill where the assembly calls for it

Contractor Qualifications

The things a general contractor actually needs to know before shortlisting a sub:

• Bondable at approximately three percent
• Prevailing wage jobs performed and documented
• Substantial commercial general liability and workers compensation coverage, certificates available on request
• Dedicated commercial estimator, an engineer with more than ten years of estimating experience from both the general contractor and subcontractor sides
• Three certified BPI analysts on staff
• Five or more crews running daily, which means we can hold a schedule rather than promise one

How We Work With GCs

We are involved through the whole process, not just at the bid. RFIs, submittals, product data, sequencing conversations, and operations planning ahead of mobilization. Our estimator is the same person you talk to during construction, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between sales and the field.

On foam scopes, we will tell you at bid time whether exposed foam triggers a thermal or ignition barrier requirement and carry the coating in the number, rather than surfacing it as a change order after the inspector flags it.

We hold our sequence. We are not going to be the reason drywall slips.

Markets We Serve

Tenant improvement, hotel and hospitality, multifamily and mixed use, industrial and warehouse, municipal and public works, mining, oil and gas, and single family production building. Denver, Boulder, the Front Range and out into the mountain corridor where the project justifies the mobilization.

If you are building in the high country, foam is frequently the only practical path to the envelope numbers, particularly in unvented roof assemblies. We travel for that work.

Send us the plans and the spec section. We will get you a number and tell you where the drawings and the code are going to disagree.

Why Choose Koala Insulation of Boulder

CCEF Approved Contractor

Koala Insulation of Boulder is an approved contractor with the Colorado Clean Energy Fund. That means our customers can finance insulation work through RENU loans and ClearPath On-Bill financing, with terms built specifically for energy efficiency improvements rather than a generic home improvement loan.

Not every insulation contractor in Colorado carries this approval. Ask us about it on your estimate, and we will walk you through what you qualify for.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Our work carries a limited lifetime warranty. In practice, it is simpler than that sounds. If we did the work on your home and something is not right, you call us, and we come back and fix it. No claim forms, no argument about what is covered.

Three Certified BPI Analysts on Staff

The Building Performance Institute certifies professionals to assess how a home performs as a complete system: air leakage, insulation, ventilation, moisture, and combustion safety. Most insulation companies do not employ a single certified analyst. We have three.

It is the difference between someone who can install insulation and someone who can tell you why your house is uncomfortable in the first place.
