Energy-efficient spray foam solutions for Cambridge, MA. Roofing, insulation, and coatings that reduce energy costs and extend roof life by decades.
Full-spectrum spray foam solutions for residential and commercial buildings in Cambridge, MA.
Spray foam insulation for crawl space walls, rim joists, and band boards that eliminates moisture, cold floors, and musty odors. Closed-cell foam acts as both insulation and vapor barrier in a single application.
Ponding water, chronic leaks, and moisture infiltration destroy roofs and building interiors. Our waterproofing systems use closed-cell spray foam and silicone coatings to create an impermeable barrier that handles standing water indefinitely.
Stop chasing flat roof leaks with temporary fixes. Our diagnostic approach pinpoints the exact failure point, and our repair methods address the root cause — whether it is failed flashing, membrane damage, or ponding water that needs re-sloping.
Stop metal roof leaks without replacement. Our elastomeric coating system treats rust, seals every fastener and seam, and creates a continuous waterproof membrane over your entire metal roof — backed by a manufacturer warranty.
Our maintenance programs extend roof life and reduce total cost of ownership. Semi-annual or annual visits include drain clearing, seam inspection, penetration checks, coating condition assessment, and immediate repair of minor issues.
Active roof leak? We locate the source using advanced detection methods, then repair it permanently at the root cause. No guesswork, no temporary patches — just lasting results backed by our workmanship warranty.
Upgrade your attic insulation from fiberglass or cellulose to spray foam and feel the difference the same day. SPF does not settle, sag, or leave gaps — it expands to fill every cavity and seals air leaks that other materials miss.
From minor surface patches to full-section refoaming and recoating, our repair crews restore SPF roof performance using materials compatible with your existing system. Every repair is blended seamlessly and warranted.
Large-scale commercial roof restoration using SPF and coating systems that extend roof life by 20 or more years without the cost and disruption of full replacement. Phased scheduling available to keep your business operational.
Know the true condition of your roof before problems escalate. Our inspection process covers every component — membrane, flashings, penetrations, drains, and substrate — and delivers a clear, actionable report you can trust.
When your roof is structurally sound but the surface is deteriorating, restoration is the smart investment. We clean, repair, and recoat your entire roof with a warranted system that performs like new at a fraction of replacement cost.
Transform your building with a spray foam roof that insulates, waterproofs, and strengthens in a single application. No tear-off required over most existing substrates. Backed by manufacturer warranties and our own workmanship guarantee.
Our replacement process is thorough: remove existing roofing to the deck, inspect and repair substrate, apply closed-cell SPF to specified thickness, and finish with a UV-protective coating. The result is a monolithic roof system with no seams to fail.
High-performance silicone roof coatings that resist ponding water, UV degradation, and extreme temperatures. Unlike acrylics, silicone does not re-emulsify in standing water — making it ideal for flat roofs with drainage challenges.
When severe weather damages your roof, our storm response crews deploy fast — securing your property, documenting every impact point for your insurance claim, and restoring your roof with quality materials and expert workmanship.

Common questions about spray foam roofing and insulation in Cambridge, MA.
Spray foam is one of the best solutions for flat and low-slope roofs in Cambridge. The seamless application eliminates the seams and joints where conventional flat roof systems fail. SPF also self-levels to eliminate ponding water — one of the biggest causes of flat roof leaks and premature failure.
Absolutely. SPF roofing performs exceptionally in both extremes because the closed-cell foam provides continuous insulation without thermal bridging. In hot Cambridge summers, the reflective coating reduces surface temperatures by up to 50 degrees. In winter, the insulation value keeps conditioned air inside.
A properly installed SPF roof in Cambridge can last 30 to 50 years with periodic recoating every 10 to 15 years. The closed-cell foam itself does not degrade — only the protective topcoat needs maintenance. Many spray foam roofs installed in the 1970s are still performing today.
Yes. Spray foam applied to crawl space walls and rim joists creates an airtight moisture barrier that eliminates condensation, musty odors, and cold floors. For Cambridge homes with persistent crawl space moisture issues, closed-cell foam combined with vapor barrier encapsulation provides a permanent solution.
Closed-cell foam is denser, provides a higher R-value per inch (R-6.5 vs R-3.7), and acts as a vapor and moisture barrier. Open-cell foam is lighter, more flexible, and more affordable. For roofing applications in Cambridge we typically recommend closed-cell for its waterproofing properties. For interior wall insulation, either type may be appropriate.
Spray foam insulation costs in Cambridge typically range from $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot for open-cell and $3.00 to $7.00 per square foot for closed-cell. The exact price depends on the area being insulated, foam thickness, and accessibility. Most Cambridge homeowners see a full return on investment through energy savings within 3 to 5 years.

"Had a few spots where birds had pecked through the coating on our foam roof. The repair crew patched every spot and applied a fresh topcoat over the entire section. Looks brand new and no more leaks."
"Attic insulation upgrade from blown-in to spray foam. The crew masked everything off properly and the overspray was minimal. The temperature in our attic dropped dramatically and so did our energy bills. Worth the investment."
"Our corrugated metal roof was rusting at every fastener and seam. They cleaned the entire surface, treated the rust, and applied a thick elastomeric coating. The roof looks brand new and is completely sealed now."
