Why the Assessment Comes First
Most of our peers show up, hear that you want spray foam, measure the space, and throw a number at you. Nobody asks what the assembly is doing, whether it is vented, where the moisture is going, or whether foam is even the right product for the cavity in question.
Foam is permanent and it is expensive. Applied to the wrong assembly it can trap moisture, complicate future work, and cost you money for performance you could have had another way.
Every spray foam quote we write starts with an assessment of the assembly, the ventilation strategy and what the building actually needs. Sometimes the answer is foam. Sometimes it is blown in with proper air sealing for a fraction of the price. We would rather give you the cheaper correct answer and keep you as a customer.
Shopping on price alone with foam is a losing game. It is the one product where the wrong call is difficult and costly to undo.
A Superior
Where Spray Foam Earns Its Cost
A significant share of our foam work comes through general contractors, remodelers, builders and property owners. New construction, gut remodels, multifamily, commercial and industrial.
Colorado energy code has tightened repeatedly and envelope requirements have moved with it. On new builds and gut remodels, foam has become the common path to hitting those numbers, particularly in unvented conditioned attic assemblies and low slope roofs.
We schedule as a trade, we show up when we said we would, and we hold our sequence so we are not the reason drywall slips. If you are building new in Erie, Superior, Broomfield, Westminster, Golden, Arvada, Lafayette or anywhere across the Front Range, or converting an attic in an older home, this is the conversation to have before the framing gets closed up.
These capabilities define the insulation type:
- Modern low slope and flat roof designs where there is no attic at all, just roof deck, sheathing, trusses and the interior of the home directly below. There is nowhere to blow loose fill in that assembly. Foam at the deck is the system.
- Rim joists
- Cathedral and vaulted ceilings with no ventilation path
- Crawl space and basement walls
- Any tight cavity where you need air sealing and insulation from a single material
Advantages Of
Spray Foam Insulation in Boulder
Spray foam insulation outperforms all other types of insulation by large margins because its long-term benefits outweigh its initial installation costs. Spray foam also offers superior sealing properties and is environmentally friendly.
Improved Air Quality
In Boulder’s dry climate, a tightly sealed home is essential for preventing dust, pollen, and mountain allergens from entering your living space. Spray foam insulation enhances indoor air quality by creating a high-performance barrier that reduces air infiltration and manages moisture, ensuring your home remains healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient year-round.
Water & Fire Resistance
Spray foam insulation is an ideal solution for Boulder’s unique climate, providing a critical barrier against moisture and enhancing fire safety for local properties. Its superior sealing properties help prevent mold growth and water damage from mountain snowmelt, while also meeting modern fire-safety standards. This high-performance insulation ensures a safer, more comfortable living environment that withstands Colorado’s diverse weather conditions year-round.
Pest and Wildlife Protection
Spray foam insulation provides an effective barrier against common Boulder pests, including rodents and insects that seek refuge from mountain winters. Its seamless application creates an airtight seal that significantly reduces the chances of these unwanted visitors entering your home, delivering long-lasting protection and added peace of mind for Colorado homeowners.
Strengthens Buildings
Spray foam insulation provides more than just a thermal barrier; it reinforces the structural integrity of your Boulder home to withstand the region’s diverse weather demands. Once cured, the foam creates a rigid bond with framing, sheathing, and drywall, helping your property resist shifting from mountain soil settling or high wind loads. This added rigidity reduces wall flex, dampens vibrations for enhanced soundproofing, and provides the long-term durability essential for preserving the value and energy efficiency of Colorado residences.
Soundproofing
By sealing gaps and creating a continuous barrier within walls, floors, and ceilings, spray foam insulation significantly reduces unwanted noise throughout your Boulder home. Its dense structure effectively absorbs and dampens sound waves, muting both external mountain winds and internal disruptions from HVAC systems and plumbing to create a more peaceful living environment.
Environmentally Friendly
Choosing spray foam insulation is a sustainable way for Boulder homeowners to create a more energy-efficient and resilient residence that aligns with Colorado’s environmental values. Unlike traditional materials that may shed fibers, cured spray foam is chemically inert, meaning it does not release harmful particles into your living space. During our professional installation process, we use specialized equipment to ensure a precise application tailored to the unique demands of the Front Range climate. While a brief off-gassing period is standard, once cured, the foam provides a permanent, seamless air seal. Because spray foam, specifically closed-cell varieties, does not retain moisture or support mold growth, it acts as a robust barrier against snowmelt and water damage, preserving your home’s structural integrity for decades to come.

Koala did a great job of replacing our attic insulation! The super nice technicians arrived on time and took special care with every step of the process. They removed the old insulation, sealed up all openings including around wires and fixtures, and blew in brand new insulation. They left everything, including the driveway, clean—no lingering bits of fluff anywhere! Thank you, Koala, for a job well done!

Such a professional company to work with. They are quick to respond, and they left my home in great condition. After we had issues with our attic fan due to the box, they put around it to ensure our new insulation was protected. The Sales Manager and Project Manager came out to fix the problem themselves. They had it figured out and running like normal within an hour. I won't need insulation again for several years but would recommend them to anyone looking to replace theirs.

Best possible experience. Estimator came out right away and the crew arrived even early the next day. They were fast and efficient and did the expected work in no time at all, even cleaned up so that you would never know they had been there. Superior service.

These guys are fantastic. I had them come in to blow insulation into my 1980s home between my main floor wood floors and my basement ceiling. It no longer sounds like my kids are a herd of elephants and I have the unexpected benefit of not having to use as much heat in the basement. The technicians were all courteous and the company was great to work with.

Devin was super flexible and worked around our chaotic schedule. The spray foam in our crawlspace has made such a huge difference for our house—the downstairs is no longer drafty at all (and it used to be very drafty). I’m a bit OCD and noticed a few places where the foam was a tiny bit scant, and Koala came out right away, no questions asked, to spray more foam. They truly did an amazing job and I would highly recommend Koala Insulation.

I cannot say enough about Koala Insulation! I had a small job but it needed to be done at a specific time when we were having other work done. Probably one of their smallest jobs and KI was incredibly helpful and accommodating as if it were a much bigger deal. From the person who did the estimate to the support I got in person or one the phone every single person was kind, willing to explain every step and the result is phenomenal. The area of my home that wasn’t insulated was always freezing when it was cold out. We just had a cold snap and I was thrilled to see it was a good 10 degrees warmer than it used to be. I’m thrilled for the cost savings in heat and AC! Well worth it!

Great service. Team was professional.
Explained what they were doing in detail and then showed pictures after. They were respectful of furniture and fixtures. They left everything as they found it. My goal was to improve insulation in a cold bathroom. so far so good. I may even get some reduction in noise. Thank you Koala.

Company responded to my inquiry and a consultation was scheduled quickly. Consultation was direct and to the point with minimal salesmanship, which was appreciated. When I was ready for the project to be scheduled, that was handled quickly as well. Work was completed quickly and efficiently with minimal hassle. Workers were communicative about progress, and reviewed everything after it was completed. Workers were also very clean during the work and cleaned everything up when they were completed. Overall, very satisfied with my experience with the company and the service.

I hired Koala to insulate my crawl space and replace the old insulation in my attic. They came by pretty quickly to inspect the space and provide an estimate, and offered a really reasonable price. On the actual day of installation, they worked quickly and pretty quietly. I can feel an immediate difference in the warmth of my kitchen (the biggest issue on cold days). Really happy with their work and professionalism.

Koala Insulation of Boulder:
I contacted Chris White from Koala Insulation of Boulder in late November and he was able to get me scheduled before the holidays. His spray technician Bernie and assistant Brandon showed up promptly on the morning of installation. They were both very professional, polite and friendly. I was communicated to exceedingly well, and knew from start to finish what was happening. Care in clean up was also done well.
My back office and garage attic now feel much warmer and quieter and these efficiency improvements will add value to my home. I can now do some final wiring and finish work with confidence.
I am quite pleased with the results and would recommend Koala Insulation to anyone. Money well spent!

UPDATE: It's been over a month now and I'm so happy I did this! I used to know how cold it was outside the second I put my feet on my bedroom floor, but now I have no idea because it's toasty warm! Thanks again guys!
- - -
I'm a hard guy to impress, but impress me they did! Devin was thorough when we went over my needs, and he was great with communication and getting me an estimate quickly. The price for the foam insulation job was very reasonable (I'd looked previously and had sky high estimates).
The Job. My house has numerous rooms with cantilevers that overhang the level below, and they were poorly insulated in the late 70's. The floor over these cantilever areas was freezing all winter long! I had enough, time to fix it properly!
Bernie was the specialist that was sent to do my job and he was great! He and his assistant were extremely courteous, professional and clean! They went above and beyond when hearing what was most important to me, and did an outstanding job! They were fast, polite and made a big effort to work cleanly.
I'm extremely happy with the job that Koala Insulation of Boulder did, and will definitely call them back for the other insulation projects that my older house needs. Bring on the cold!
Thanks guys! - Craig

Chris the owner was very communicative and his team helped us figure out what we needed. They didn’t push for anything we weren’t interested in. The quality of work was outstanding- the install team made sure to dam all the areas of the attic where blown in insulation could fall as well as around the attic hatch, which also forces the batting above the hatch to stay in place. I feel like they offered a fair price for materials & services and were able to schedule us quickly. All in all, a great company to work with.

The Koala team provided great service from start to finish. The free evaluation was easy and they provided us with thoughtful recommendations along with a few different packages to choose from. On the day of the install, the crew was efficient, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Zero issues with installation and they were very considerate regarding prep and clean up. Overall, we've been very happy with our decision to use Koala and would gladly recommend their services to others. We're looking forward to enjoying a much warmer winter!

After replacing our metal barn roof we discovered the last spray foam company ripped us off, charging for 3” of foam and only applying 1.5” of foam. Koala was extremely fair on price for removing the old material and quoting an entire reapplication. This is a very expensive process regardless, however they’re worth it! From start to finish it was clear that honesty, quality and customer satisfaction is what their company is built upon. We’re very happy with our end result!

Amazing service, the team was very quick, got us in earlier than expected and was in and out quickly. They added more insulation than I expected and left our house very clean. We opted for the solar fan and added a few soffits. Man was that the right move. After adding central air to our house we noticed the upstairs would not cool down when sun was shinning on house but after this service it is night and day difference. Our AC isn’t running all day, we are cool and saving tons of $$

Is spray foam right for my attic in Boulder?
Spray foam insulation can be an excellent choice for attics, but there are a few key factors to consider:
Moisture and Preparation: Any existing dampness or water intrusion should be resolved before installation to ensure strong adhesion and long-term performance.
Surface Readiness: Concrete or masonry walls may need light cleaning or preparation so the foam bonds evenly and seals effectively.
By addressing these factors, spray foam creates a dry, comfortable, and energy-efficient environment that helps protect your home from the ground up. When applied by certified Koala Insulation professionals, spray foam provides lasting comfort, reduced energy costs, and year-round peace of mind. Learn More

How much does basement spray foam installation cost in Boulder?
The cost to insulate a basement with spray foam depends on the size of the area, existing insulation, and project complexity.
Small basement (≈500 sq ft): $1,200 – $2,800
Medium basement (≈1,000 sq ft): $2,400 – $5,600
Large basement (≈2,000+ sq ft): $4,800 – $9,000
Spray foam insulation helps eliminate drafts and moisture, providing a more comfortable, energy-efficient lower level. Pricing per square foot may increase if your basement requires old insulation removal, foundation wall prep, or hard-to-reach rim joists.

Should I insulate my basement ceiling with spray foam?
Closed-cell spray foam works best for basement ceilings because it provides a high R-value and acts as a moisture barrier. It can also help block sound between floors. For the best results, it’s important to assess your home’s layout, HVAC design, and moisture conditions before choosing where to apply spray foam.
Koala Insulation technicians can evaluate your space and recommend whether ceiling, wall, or rim-joist insulation will deliver the greatest comfort and energy savings for your home.
Is spray foam insulation safe?
Spray foam insulation is safe when handled and installed by a trained professional. Spray foam poses no health risk once it is cured, but it can be hazardous during installation due to its chemical composition. We follow all industry safety standards, ensure proper ventilation, and complete curing before occupants return to the space, usually 24-48 hours after project completion.

Can you insulate the concrete block walls in my basement?
Concrete block basement walls can be insulated with spray foam, provided the surface is clean, dry, and free of moisture issues. Closed-cell spray foam is typically best, as it both insulates and creates a moisture-resistant air seal that helps prevent mold and drafts. Before application, any existing leaks or dampness should be addressed to ensure long-term performance and adhesion.
At Koala Insulation, we’ll determine whether spray foam, rigid foam board, or a hybrid system is the best fit for your block-wall basement so you get a solution built for long-term performance.
Do My Rim Joists Need An Airtight Seal?
Rim joists absolutely benefit from an airtight seal. Sealing this area with spray foam insulation prevents drafts, moisture intrusion, and heat loss where the foundation meets the framing, one of the most common sources of energy waste in a home. By creating a continuous air barrier, you’ll enjoy warmer floors, lower utility bills, and better indoor air quality year-round.

Is spray foam insulation flammable?
Spray foam insulation itself is not flammable once fully cured, but like most building materials, it can burn when exposed to direct flame. Koala Insulation uses fire-rated, code-compliant products. When installed correctly by our certified technicians, spray foam insulation provides a safe, durable, and energy-efficient layer that meets modern fire safety standards.

When installed correctly by our certified technicians, spray foam insulation provides a safe, durable, and energy-efficient layer that meets modern fire safety standards.
How long does spray foam insulation last?
Spray foam insulation typically lasts 80 to 100 years when professionally installed and properly maintained. Spray foam adheres directly to the building structure and won’t sag or settle, which means it offers the same performance decade after decade.
What are the best applications for spray foam insulation?
Spray foam insulation is a premium, versatile option for a few specific applications. After your initial assessment, we may recommend spray foam for:
Attics: Open-cell spray foam on attic floors seals air leaks and prevents treated air in the living space from escaping into the attic.
Basements: Closed-cell spray foam acts as a vapor barrier in moisture-prone basements, crawl spaces, and cellars.
Exterior Walls: While not always necessarily the most cost-effective option, spray foam fills irregular gaps in wall cavities while providing an effective moisture barrier.
Floors: Spray foam is sometimes sprayed between floor joists in suspended timber floors (non-slab).
Roofs: Closed-cell spray foam installed under the roof deck prevents air leaks and protects against moisture issues.
Can I spray foam insulation myself?
While DIY kits exist, spray foam insulation is not a good do-it-yourself project. Professional installers have the training, equipment, and ventilation controls needed to ensure safety, proper curing, and compliance with building codes. Poor installation from DIY attempts can lead to moisture problems, off-ratio foam, or even voided home insurance coverage, making professional service from Koala Insulation technicians the smarter, safer choice.
