Spray Foam Insulation
Open-cell and closed-cell polyurethane foam that air-seals and insulates in one application.

Insulation in Captiva is not a cold-weather problem. It is a cooling, humidity, and utility bill problem, and it runs eight or nine months of the year. Captiva is in Lee County, in South Florida, where the sun does most of the damage — roughly three quarters of the heat entering a Captiva attic arrives as radiant energy off the roof rather than conducting through the insulation.
This is the part most Captiva homeowners have never had explained to them. Insulation resists heat conduction. It does absolutely nothing to stop air from moving through it. If we blow R-38 over a ceiling full of unsealed recessed light housings, plumbing penetrations, top plates, and an uninsulated attic hatch, you have paid for R-38 and you will experience something considerably less.
On every Captiva job we seal the ceiling plane first — penetrations foamed, can lights covered or replaced with airtight housings, the attic hatch weatherstripped and insulated, and bath fans verified to actually terminate outside rather than dumping humid air into the attic. Then we insulate. It adds a few hours and it changes the result substantially.
People in Captiva describe the symptom as the house feeling clammy even when the thermostat reads 74. That is a humidity problem, and it usually traces back to air leakage rather than to the air conditioner.
Outdoor air in South Florida carries a lot of moisture. Every cubic foot of it that leaks into your house through the ceiling plane has to be dehumidified by your AC, which is why an air-sealed house feels dramatically better at the same thermostat setting. It's also why an oversized air conditioner makes Captiva homes feel worse — it satisfies the thermostat and shuts off before it has run long enough to actually pull moisture out of the air.
We handle commercial and industrial insulation across Captiva and Lee County — offices, retail, restaurants, hotels, medical suites, warehouses, distribution, manufacturing, and cold storage.
That includes building envelope, mechanical and thermal insulation on ductwork and piping, chilled water condensation control, fire-rated assemblies built to the listed detail, and metal building systems. Carrying all three scopes under one contractor eliminates the interface gaps that cause most failed inspections. Occupied buildings in Captiva get night and weekend crews with containment and HEPA filtration.
Residential, commercial, and industrial — the complete envelope under one contractor.

Most Captiva attic insulation projects fall between $1.50 and $4.50 per square foot installed. A typical 2,000 sq ft Captiva home runs roughly $2,200–$4,500 for a blown-in top-up to R-38, and $6,000–$13,000 for a full closed-cell spray foam roof deck encapsulation. Insulation removal adds about $1.00–$2.00 per square foot. Standard Insulation gives free, written, itemized estimates throughout Captiva and Lee County — call (561) 975-6204.
Captiva falls in Florida Climate Zone 1 under the Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation (8th Edition). That means R-30 minimum for attics, with R-38 being the practical target for real comfort and utility savings. Many Captiva homes built before 2005 are still measuring R-11 to R-19, which is a large part of why their summer bills are so high.
Yes. We install both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam throughout Captiva, Lee County. Closed-cell on the roof deck is the strongest option here — it air seals, controls humidity, brings your ducts into conditioned space, and adds measurable uplift resistance to your roof sheathing, which matters in a hurricane-exposed part of Florida.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In Lee County we can usually be on site for a free assessment within 24 to 48 hours, and emergency insulation removal after a roof leak or storm gets same-day priority whenever we can make it happen.
Yes — offices, retail, restaurants, hotels, medical, warehouses, distribution, manufacturing, and cold storage throughout Captiva and Lee County. We carry envelope, mechanical, and fire-rated scopes, and we work nights and weekends in occupied buildings with containment and HEPA filtration.
Yes. Standard Insulation is a licensed Florida insulation contractor carrying general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and we work throughout Captiva and all of Lee County. Certificates of insurance are provided to homeowners, general contractors, and property managers on request before any work begins.
Cooling is roughly half of a typical Captiva electric bill. Bringing an under-insulated attic from R-11 up to a properly air-sealed R-38 commonly cuts the cooling portion by 20 to 30 percent — and more if your ductwork is in the attic and we add a radiant barrier. On a $300 summer bill that's usually $30 to $45 a month back in your pocket.
It depends on your building and your budget, and we'll tell you honestly which one applies. If your attic is at R-13 and you want the most improvement per dollar, blown-in fiberglass to R-38 with proper air sealing is the answer. If your ducts are in the attic and you want humidity control and the biggest total comfort win, 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'll say so.
No obligation, no charge. Call (561) 975-6204 — we're open 24/7.
