r/sprayfoam

Sorry for the poor quality pictures. Not so much space under a floor! I've been spraying for almost 9 months now. These are 8" studs with max 5 1/2" of foam. I love this job. It's nice to play my music and get dialed in.

We just had our loft space sprayed with closed cell foam to a depth of 6.5”, which we were told equaled an r value of 49, which is code for ceilings in our NY area. I’m not at the house but my husband sent me these photos. Is it just me or does this look uneven? And is uneven ok?

Fair warning up front so nobody wastes their time: I'm not a spray foam installer. I'm learning local SEO and web stuff, and I picked spray foam in Waco, TX as my practice project because it's a real market with real demand. It's a lead-gen site — that's stated on the site itself — meaning if it ever ranks, the calls go to a local contractor, not to me.

Here's my problem. I've written a pile of content about spray foam based entirely on research, and you all actually do this work. I'd much rather the thing be accurate than just rank well. Ranking with wrong information helps nobody and makes the trade look bad.

Stuff I'd genuinely like torn apart:

1. Are my price ranges realistic? I've got open cell around $1.50–$3.00/sq ft installed and closed cell around $1.75–$4.50/sq ft for the Central Texas market. Am I high, low, or just wrong? Regional pricing is the thing I'm least confident about.
2. Is my open vs. closed guidance oversimplified? I'm generally steering people toward closed cell for metal buildings, barndominiums, crawl spaces, and roof decks; open cell for attics and interior walls. Where does that break down in practice?
3. The 20×20 garage math. I argue you're actually insulating ~1,100 sq ft of surface (walls + ceiling), not the 400 sq ft floor, and that's why DIY estimates come in low. Is that the right way to explain it to a homeowner?
4. What do customers actually ask you that I haven't covered? This is the one I can't get from research, and it's probably the most valuable thing in this thread. What's the question you answer on every single call?
5. What on the site would make you roll your eyes as a pro? I'd rather hear it here than have a contractor find it later.

And the honest ask: if anyone here is in or near Waco, TX — or knows somebody running a spray foam business there — I'm looking for a contractor who'd actually want the calls this thing generates. I'm not trying to sell anything to this sub. Mods, if that part's against the rules, say the word and I'll edit it out.

Appreciate any brutal feedback. Genuinely here to learn the trade side of this, not to pitch.
