Get it right from the start. We design insulation systems for new builds that maximize energy performance and building code compliance.
Building energy efficiency into new construction costs less and performs better than retrofitting. We work with builders during the planning stage to specify the right insulation types for your climate zone, building envelope design, and budget.
Our process starts before framing begins:
Spray foam insulation stands apart in new construction because it fills every cavity, air gap, and corner without compression loss over time. Closed-cell spray foam is what we specify: at R-7.1 per inch it delivers the highest R-value density available, along with built-in vapor control and added structural strength. New builders appreciate spray foam because:
We handle new construction spray foam applications throughout central Pennsylvania. Closed-cell is what we specify for walls, rim joists, and foundations alike — installed for durability and built to hit your energy targets.
Basements and crawl spaces in new builds are where energy is lost. Uninsulated or poorly insulated rim joists and band boards create a major thermal leak. We insulate new basements with:
More Than Spray Foam
Not every new build needs spray foam — and every roof design needs the right assembly. We match the material and the strategy to your plans.

We partner with builders in central Pennsylvania to specify insulation for:
We attend pre-construction meetings, provide detailed specifications, coordinate scheduling with framers and roofers, and stand behind performance guarantees. When insulation is specified upfront, the home performs as designed — and the builder ships a better product.
Pennsylvania building code specifies R-values for each climate zone and building component. We stay current with:
Our specs ensure compliance at inspection and document performance for ENERGY STAR certifications if pursued.
Your Questions Answered
We recommend coordinating during pre-construction planning — ideally 2–3 weeks before framing begins. This allows time for material ordering and crew scheduling. Spray foam typically installs the week after framing is complete; fiberglass can go in as soon as drywall is ready.
Spray foam typically costs 2–3× more per square foot but delivers superior air sealing and R-value density. For new builds, the upfront cost is often offset by lower HVAC sizing and reduced long-term energy bills. We provide detailed cost-benefit analysis during the planning phase so builders can make informed decisions.
Yes. We provide detailed insulation specifications including R-values, material types, thicknesses, and installation notes compatible with builder plan sets and code submissions. These specs are used during permitting and inspection.
Closed-cell spray foam is a vapor barrier itself, so it should not be paired with a separate interior poly barrier — doubling up traps moisture between the two layers and creates condensation risk. That built-in vapor control is one of the reasons we lead with closed-cell on new builds: one product handles both the insulation and the vapor barrier. We design the whole assembly to avoid moisture problems.
Yes. We install commercial-grade insulation for commercial buildings, agricultural structures, and multifamily projects. Commercial work involves thicker foam, specific flame-spread ratings, and larger-scale coordination. Contact us to discuss your commercial project.
We install new construction insulation throughout central Pennsylvania — and we’ll cross state lines for the right project. From single homes to entire communities, our family-owned team specifies and installs for your climate zone and code.
Our home base. Full insulation service for Lewisburg, Mifflinburg, Milton, Danville, Sunbury, Selinsgrove, Bloomsburg, and the surrounding communities.
Homes, businesses, and new builds across Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Hershey, Carlisle, and the greater capital area.
Insulation for the Centre County region — State College, Bellefonte, Boalsburg, Philipsburg, and the surrounding valleys.
Between those three points is our core service area, and we cover plenty of ground around them — including Williamsport, Lock Haven, and Lewistown. If your town isn’t listed, call us. We’ll cross state lines for the right project, too. Learn more on our service area page, or reach out to confirm coverage and schedule a free inspection.
