Built for real Cleveland winters.
Spray foam insulation for Cleveland, Ohio homes and businesses — IECC Climate Zone 5A, Lake Erie's lake-effect snow belt, and a housing stock where more than one in five homes was built before 1940. Generic "Ohio is cold" advice doesn't apply here. We insulate for the real thing.

Cleveland's climate isn't generic Rust Belt cold. Your insulation shouldn't be either.
Cleveland sits in IECC Climate Zone 5A — cool-humid, heating-dominated by roughly six to one over cooling, and sitting on Lake Erie's lake-effect snowbelt. City snowfall runs 64-70 inches a year, while suburbs just east toward Geauga County can see 120+. Energy Star's guidance for this zone points to R-49-R-60 attics and R-15-R-19+ basement walls — real numbers for a real climate, not a rough guess.
Spray foam insulation is built for exactly this kind of climate. It insulates and air-seals in a single application, stopping the cold-air infiltration that drives up heating bills — and stopping the attic heat loss that causes snow to melt and refreeze into ice dams at your eaves. Traditional insulation alone can't do either of those things.
We're a dedicated spray foam insulation specialist for Cleveland and Cuyahoga County — not a generalist applying generic Rust Belt advice to a lake-effect city.

Comfort and savings, built for Lake Erie winters.
Ice dam prevention
Sealing the attic under the roof deck stops the heat-loss-to-snowmelt-to-refreeze cycle that causes ice dams — a fix at the source, not a band-aid.
Zone 5A-appropriate R-values
We build to Energy Star's Zone 5A guidance — attic R-49-60, basement walls R-15-19+, floors R-30 — not a generic guess.
Local, honest advice
We recommend open-cell, closed-cell, or a mix based on your home's actual needs — never a one-size-fits-all pitch.

Cleveland spray foam insulation FAQs
Cleveland sits in IECC Climate Zone 5A — officially classified 'cool-humid' — with roughly 6,411 heating degree days a year against only about 1,004 cooling degree days. Energy Star's guidance for this zone points to R-49-R-60 in the attic, R-15-R-19+ on basement walls, and R-30 for floors over unconditioned space. Generic 'Ohio is cold' advice misses the specifics that actually drive those numbers.
Yes — this is one of the biggest reasons Cleveland homeowners call us. Ice dams form when attic heat loss melts roof snow, which then refreezes at the colder eave — and that risk varies across our area, since Cleveland proper sees roughly 64-70 inches of snow a year while the lake-effect snowbelt suburbs to the east can see 120+. A properly air-sealed, high-R-value attic stops that heat loss at the source, which is far more effective than reactive fixes like heat cables.
Costs typically run in the range of $1.50-$5.00 per square foot installed, with closed-cell landing at the higher end due to density and R-value. A typical attic project runs roughly $2,500-$7,500 depending on size and the R-value target. A free on-site assessment gets you a firm number for your home.
Open-cell is lighter and less expensive, a strong fit for interior walls and conditioned attic applications. Closed-cell is denser, delivers the highest R-value per inch (R-6-7), and resists moisture — making it the right call for rim joists, basements, and crawl spaces exposed to Cleveland's humid Zone 5A climate and Cuyahoga County's clay-heavy soil.
For homes with under-insulated attics or leaky building envelopes, yes — often meaningfully. Spray foam air-seals and insulates in one step, which stops the cold-air infiltration that drives up heating costs through a Cleveland winter with roughly six heating degree days for every one cooling degree day.
