Open-cell and closed-cell polyurethane foam that air-seals and insulates in one application — installed on roof decks, walls, and crawl spaces throughout Broadview Park.
Foam is the right answer in Broadview Park when the ductwork is in the attic and the house is fighting humidity, and the wrong answer when the roof is near the end of its life. We will tell you which situation you are in before we quote it. Spraying foam to the underside of a roof deck that needs replacing in three years is an expensive way to make a future re-roof harder, and no honest Broward County contractor should sell it.
Spray foam is the only insulation on this list that stops air movement and heat transfer at the same time. In Broadview Park, that matters more than the R-value on the label. A Broward County attic can run 130°F in August while the air handler fights to keep the house at 76°F, and most of that battle is lost through gaps — around can lights, at the top plates, where the soffit meets the roof deck. Foam seals those as it expands, which is why homes here often feel different within a day of the install rather than after a full billing cycle.
Broadview Park sits in Florida Climate Zone 1 — the hottest, most humid zone in the continental United States. Under the Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation (8th Edition), the ceiling minimum here is R-30 and framed walls are R-13. ENERGY STAR recommends R-30 for an uninsulated attic in this zone; we build to R-38 as the practical target.
| Item | Value | Where it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Open-cell foam | R-3.7 per inch | Roof decks, interior walls, sound control |
| Closed-cell foam | R-6.5 to R-7.0 per inch | Roof decks, crawl spaces, block walls, flood-prone areas |
| Air sealing | Effectively eliminates envelope air leakage at the application surface | Both types |
| Vapor behavior | Closed-cell is a Class II vapor retarder at 1.5" and above | Closed-cell only |
We inspect the attic, roof deck condition, duct location, and any existing insulation, and confirm the roof has enough service life left to justify foam.
Existing insulation is removed where required, penetrations are prepped, and the work area and HVAC returns are masked and protected.
Foam is sprayed in controlled lifts to the specified thickness, checked with a depth gauge as we go rather than by eye.
The space is ventilated per the manufacturer's re-occupancy schedule before anyone goes back in.
We measure thickness, photograph the finished surface, and hand over documentation for permits, insurance, or a future sale.
Spray foam in Broadview Park typically runs $3.00 to $7.00 per square foot depending on foam type and thickness. A full closed-cell roof deck encapsulation on a 2,000 sq ft Broadview Park home usually lands between $6,000 and $13,000; open-cell on the same deck is meaningfully less.

Broadview Park sits in Florida Climate Zone 1 — the hottest, most humid zone in the continental United States. The Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation (8th Edition) sets a R-30 minimum for ceilings in this zone, and R-38 is the practical target for comfort and utility savings. Many Broadview Park homes built before 2005 still measure R-11 to R-19, which is a large part of why their summer bills run high.
Most Broadview Park residential jobs are completed in a single day. Larger homes, full removals and commercial scopes in Broward County run two to four days. We give you a firm window before we start and we call if anything changes.
Cooling is roughly half of a typical Broadview Park electric bill. Bringing an under-insulated attic up to a properly air-sealed R-38 commonly cuts the cooling portion by 20 to 30 percent — more if your ductwork runs through the attic. On a $300 summer bill that is usually $30 to $45 a month back.
It depends on the building and the budget, and we will tell you honestly which applies. If your attic is at R-13 and you want the most improvement per dollar, blown-in to R-38 with proper air sealing is the answer. If your ducts are in the attic and you want humidity control, closed-cell spray foam on the roof deck is the answer. If your roof is more than twelve years old, do the roof first — we will say so.
Yes, and it is a large share of what we do in Broward County. Wet insulation does not recover — it mats down, loses its R-value permanently and holds moisture against your framing. We remove it under containment, document the condition for your insurer, dry and treat the deck, and reinstall once the cause is repaired.
Florida Power & Light (FPL) is the main electric utility across Broward County and publishes current residential efficiency incentives on its own site — we link to it below. Standard Insulation does not administer utility programs, but we supply the itemized invoice and R-value documentation these applications ask for.
These are the outside sources we work from. None of them are ours — check them yourself before you sign anything with any contractor.
