Straightforward answers about spray foam, blown-in insulation, hot rooms and what should be checked before work begins.
These are written for the point before a quote exists, when the question is still what is wrong rather than what to buy. Each one stays with the diagnosis rather than jumping to a product.
If one room is uncomfortable and the rest of the house is fine, start with the hot bedroom guide — the cause is usually local to that room and several of the checks cost nothing.
If the whole house is struggling and you are weighing two quotes, spray foam versus blown-in explains why they are not two grades of the same product and which boundary each one works on.
If spray foam is already the plan, what to check first covers the conditions that should be settled before the rig arrives, because foam on a roof deck is difficult to undo.
