Frequently Asked Questions
How many quotes should I get for spray foam removal?
Always obtain at least 3 quotes from different specialists. This ensures you get competitive pricing and can compare services. Quotes can vary by 30-40% for the same work, so multiple comparisons are essential.
How quickly can a local company start spray foam removal?
Most local specialists can begin work within 1-4 weeks of accepting a quote, depending on their current workload. Urgent cases (e.g., property sales) may be accommodated faster. Always communicate your timeline needs upfront.
Do I need to be present during spray foam removal?
While not mandatory, it's recommended to be present at the start and end of each work day. You'll need to provide access to your loft and be available for any questions. Some homeowners prefer to be off-site during the work itself due to noise and dust.
Can companies work in all weather conditions?
Yes, spray foam removal is an internal loft job not affected by weather. However, if external scaffolding is needed for access, severe weather may cause delays. Specialists will communicate any weather-related scheduling issues.
What if I'm not satisfied with the work?
Reputable companies offer satisfaction guarantees. If issues arise, contact the company immediately to discuss remediation. Companies in our network are required to address concerns promptly and professionally. Serious disputes can be mediated through our support team.
