At Spray Tech Solutions, we talk to homeowners across Huntington every week who are facing the same question: how do I make my home more comfortable, efficient, and protected—without a massive renovation? Whether you live in a century-old house full of charm or you’re putting the finishing touches on new construction, insulation plays a major role in how your home performs year-round.
In this guide, we’ll explain exactly why spray foam insulation is not only compatible with both old and new homes it’s often the smartest, most effective choice. We’ll cover practical concerns, performance expectations, cost factors, and why more Huntington homeowners are making the switch. We’ll also show how our team at Spray Tech Solutions helps homeowners get it done right.
Older homes often suffer from outdated materials, leaky construction, and unpredictable drafts. These buildings weren’t designed with modern HVAC systems or energy efficiency in mind—and that’s where spray foam proves its value.
Our team has insulated homes built before 1950 without gutting walls or damaging historical details. Spray foam expands to fill irregular gaps whether in rim joists, attic rafters, or crawlspace voids—helping older homes hold temperature better without major remodeling.
Many homeowners worry spray foam might be too “modern” for older homes. The opposite is true. It’s the flexibility and form-fitting nature of the material that makes it ideal. Unlike fiberglass batts that require even framing and air-tight conditions, spray foam adapts to what’s already there.
Whether your home has balloon framing, stone foundations, or non-standard stud spacing, our team can apply spray foam precisely where it’s needed without disturbing plaster or original trim. We’ve helped homeowners in Huntington save hundreds on their seasonal bills by targeting problem areas like attics, knee walls, and sill plates with closed-cell insulation.
With older homes, preserving charm is often just as important as improving comfort. Our installations respect both. We’ve worked on homes listed in local historic districts, carefully insulating behind original features without changing appearances.
Unlike rolled insulation or blown-in cellulose, spray foam doesn’t settle or degrade over time. Once installed, it stays in places upporting long-term energy savings, reduced moisture infiltration, and better indoor air quality.
New construction gives you a blank canvas. Builders and homeowners in Huntington are using that opportunity to build smarter from the start and spray foam is often their go-to solution.
Instead of relying on traditional fiberglass that can sag or compress over time, spray foam creates a high-performance thermal envelope that lasts for decades. It reduces thermal bridging, strengthens wall assemblies, and helps new homes meet or exceed energy code requirements.
For homes built after 2000, insulation standards have improved—but gaps remain. We’ve seen plenty of newly built homes lose performance from cheap materials or rushed installs. That’s where our approach makes the difference.
By sealing every crack and junction with precision, spray foam stops conditioned air from leaking out—and prevents outdoor moisture from seeping in. Our clients in Huntington who build with spray foam notice fewer cold spots, quieter interiors, and lower utility bills right from their first season.
Spray foam has a higher upfront cost than fiberglass but the return is significant. Huntington homeowners often recoup the cost in just a few years through lower monthly bills. Plus, you avoid recurring maintenance or insulation replacements down the road.
It’s not just about cost, though. Spray foam makes your home more durable. It resists mold, discourages pests, and adds structural rigidity factors that matter even more in today’s housing market. When you build with spray foam, you’re building with confidence.
One of the biggest advantages of spray foam is its versatility. At Spray Tech Solutions, we apply it across every type of space—no matter the shape, layout, or stage of construction.
We’ve insulated:
Crawlspaces are often a source of humidity and mold. By sealing the space with closed-cell spray foam, we stop ground moisture from entering your home. Rim joists are another weak point in many homes—especially older ones. We apply spray foam directly to this area to stop cold drafts and improve comfort on the first floor.
Our clients often describe the difference after spray foam as “instant.” Rooms that used to be unusable in winter become livable. Bedrooms above garages stop feeling like saunas in summer. And HVAC systems don’t have to work as hard, extending their life and lowering costs.
Whether your home’s been standing for 100 years or it’s still on the blueprint, insulation matters. And not all insulation is created equal. At Spray Tech Solutions, we help homeowners across Huntington make smarter choices that last.
Our spray foam solutions seal your home tighter, keep it more comfortable, and cut your energy bills in ways traditional materials can’t match. We know the climate. We know the construction. And we stand behind every job.

Yes. Our team regularly applies spray foam in homes over a century old. It adapts to irregular framing and fills air gaps without major demolition.
Not when installed properly. We use tools and techniques that protect your finishes and preserve original structures.
Once cured, spray foam is inert. We use low-VOC, building-safe materials and follow strict ventilation guidelines during install.
Decades. Unlike fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam doesn’t sag, compress, or degrade under normal conditions.
Absolutely. Many Huntington homeowners report energy savings of 25–40% after installing spray foam.
We insulate attics, crawlspaces, rim joists, walls (in some cases without full demo), ceilings, and garages.
It works extremely well for both. In new homes, you start strong. In older ones, you eliminate energy loss and gain comfort.
Most residential installs take 1–2 days, depending on scope. We work efficiently and cleanly.
Yes. Closed-cell spray foam creates a vapor barrier that significantly reduces moisture entry, mold risk, and damp odors.
We’re local, experienced, and focused on real performance not just hitting specs. We take time to get it right, and our reputation in Huntington reflects that.
