Building Envelope SolutionsBuilding types
Homes, multifamily, commercial and industrial, one crew standard.
NYC insulation contractor · Brooklyn based
One envelope. Every building in New York.
We insulate and air seal homes, apartment buildings, offices and warehouses with spray foam and blown-in insulation. Your building stays comfortable, uses less energy and passes inspection, and we file the utility incentive for you.
Who we serve
Pick your building. Everything below changes to match.
For homeowners
A warmer, quieter home, often paid for by your utility.
Cold bedrooms, drafty floors and street noise usually come from the same leaks. We seal and insulate them, mostly in a day or two, and handle the rebate paperwork.
- Attics and roofs: spray foam or blown-in, sealed at the edges.
- Closed walls: filled through small holes, then patched.
- Basements and crawl spaces: foam on the ceiling and rim joists, the fix for cold floors.
- Noise: Rockwool between floors and shared walls.
Incentive
National Grid home program
For gas customers in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. We check your address first.
For owners, boards and managers
Lower fuel bills and fewer tenant complaints, building-wide.
Roofs, top floors and shafts lose the most heat in walk-ups, garden apartments and mid-rise buildings. We scope the whole property, work around tenants and line the job up with Con Edison or National Grid multifamily incentives.
- Attics and top floors: spray foam or blown-in across every building on the property.
- Air sealing: shafts, bulkheads and the gaps that drive drafts and smells.
- Between units: firestopping and soundproofing to code.
- One report for the board: scope, price and incentive in one document.
Incentive
Con Edison multifamily program
For buildings with 5 or more apartments. National Grid has its own program for gas buildings.
For commercial buildings
Lower energy use, and a building that meets code.
Offices, stores, schools and houses of worship. We plan around your hours, meet the NYC energy code and fire code, and give your engineer or energy consultant the numbers they need.
- Roofs and decks: spray foam on roof decks and flat roofs.
- Walls and fit-outs: insulation that meets the NYC energy code.
- Air sealing: the gaps that drive heating and cooling bills.
- Also available: K-13 acoustic spray, fireproofing paint and firestopping.
Incentive
Con Edison and NYSERDA commercial programs
Programs change each year. We check which ones fit before we quote.
For industrial buildings
Big roofs, big spaces, done with our own spray rig.
Warehouses and plants lose energy through large roofs and walls and suffer from condensation. Our truck-mounted rig and long hose reach where smaller crews can't, so the work moves fast.
- Spray foam roofing: foam with a protective coating on flat and metal roofs.
- Metal buildings: walls and roof deck insulated against heat and condensation.
- Air sealing: dock doors, roof edges and wall joints sealed against drafts.
- Cold rooms and pipe areas: sealed and insulated.
Equipment
Our own spray rig
A truck-mounted rig with 300 feet of hose, run by our own crew.

We highly recommend Insulation builders. Shai is knowledgeable, responsive and easy to work with. We had our walls insulated, our attic insulated and portions of our basement. They even found room in a crawl space to construct a new closet in our bedroom. Excellent experience all around.
They were professional, courteous, and did a great job insulating my attic. The job took about 2 hours, and they cleaned up very well afterwards.
Very nice team and Shai was super helpful in explaining exactly what I needed for the freezing pipe issue I had. They were clean, professional, and the job was done efficiently- also I shopped around and his price was very fair! I highly recommend!
Great team. Efficient, fair pricing and great communication. Would highly recommend.

Questions we hear
Do you work on large buildings and warehouses?
Yes. We work on homes, apartment buildings, commercial buildings and industrial sites across New York City and Long Island, with our own spray rig.
Spray foam or blown-in: which do I need?
It depends on the space. Spray foam seals and insulates in one step and suits roofs, rim joists and basements. Blown-in suits open attic floors and closed walls. We recommend one after the visit.
How long does a job take?
Most homes take a day or two. Larger buildings are scheduled in phases so tenants and staff can stay.
Will my utility pay part of the cost?
Often. National Grid, Con Edison and NYSERDA all have programs. Which one fits depends on your building and address, so we check before we quote.
Can tenants or staff stay in the building?
Usually yes. We schedule around them and close off only the area we're working in.
Does insulation help with Local Law 97?
Envelope work lowers how much energy a building uses, which lowers its emissions. Your energy consultant can show how much it counts for your building.
