What to know about Spray foam insulation
Spray polyurethane foam is mixed on site from two liquid components and sprayed onto rim joists, foundation walls, roof decks and framed walls, where it expands and hardens in place. Because it fills every crack and joint it touches, it does two jobs at once: it insulates, and it stops air from leaking through the assembly. That makes it especially useful in the awkward, leaky parts of a Canadian house where batts or boards are hard to fit well.

How to choose spray foam contractors in Pickering
- Choose a contractor who talks about air sealing and ventilation, not only adding more insulation.
- Ask them to check the attic or walls for moisture, mould, old wiring or insulation that may contain asbestos before starting.
- Get a written quote that states the type of insulation, the areas covered and the target insulation level.
- For spray foam, ask about their training, curing time and when it's safe to be back in the home.
- Consider an energy audit before and after the work to see where heat is being lost.
Questions to ask spray foam contractors before you hire
- What type of insulation do you recommend for this area, and why?
- Will you seal air leaks before insulating?
- How will you keep the attic properly ventilated?
- What will you do if you find old insulation that may contain asbestos, mould or old wiring?

Spray foam insulation permits in Ontario
Some spray foam insulation work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Ontario
General contracting and renovation
Renovating an existing home generally doesn’t require an HCRA builder licence: HCRA says renovations or upgrades typically don’t make a home “new”. Ontario advises checking references, WSIB coverage and trade certificates before you hire.
