Shelbyville's growing subdivisions bring newer homes with bonus rooms over garages and taller roof lines that need real air sealing and insulation to handle the Bluegrass seasonal swing. Homes built in the last ten to fifteen years sit alongside older ranch and cottage stock, and both types leak heat and cool air where spray foam stops the problem cold.
Homeowners in Shelbyville (40065) call Lexington Spray Foam Insulation because we know the local building stock, we understand how the summers bake an attic and how winter cold snaps pull moisture backward through walls, and we work with the Shelbyville building department on permits and code compliance. We've served the area since 2009, and we live here.
Spray Foam Insulation in Shelbyville (40065)
Shelbyville sits in IECC climate zone 4A, mixed-humid, and that means your attic gets hot and humid in summer, then cold and dry in winter. Moisture drives inward when it's hot outside, then reverses and pulls back out when cold snaps hit. If your attic insulation is thin, settled or vented to the outdoors, you're losing money both ways. Newer homes with rooms over garages and cathedral ceilings face the same problem: without a continuous air barrier, that tall roof space becomes a heat sink in summer and a draft in winter.
Crawl spaces and basements in Shelbyville sit on limestone, and they stay damp long after a heavy rain passes. Damp insulation is failed insulation, and it has to come out before anything else can happen. Closed cell spray foam seals the rim joist and band joist where most homes leak the fastest, and it stops moisture cold. Open cell foam works in walls and sealed attics where moisture control is less critical but cost matters.
Our team has been installing spray foam insulation across the Lexington area since 2009. We work in attics, sealed roof decks, walls, crawl spaces, rim and band joists, garages, and metal buildings. We remove and replace failed insulation, and we seal the air leaks that foam alone cannot fix.

How a Job Works in Shelbyville
Step 1: you call us at (859) 309-7396 or request a free on-site assessment. We visit your home, look at what you have, measure the space, ask about your comfort issues and energy bills, and explain what foam will and won't do. We give you a written estimate with R-value and thickness specifications so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Step 2: we schedule the work at a time that works for you. If you have old insulation that has to come out, we remove it first and haul it away. We set up mechanical ventilation during the spray, because the smell during cure is real and we manage it professionally. We spray the foam to the thickness and density you need, and we let you know the re-entry window, typically twenty-four to forty-eight hours depending on conditions.
Step 3: we clean up after ourselves, walk you through the finished job, and answer any questions about what you're seeing. You'll notice the difference in comfort and air movement within days, and your heating and cooling bills will reflect it over the next few months.
Attic spray foam insulation in Shelbyville typically runs from $1.50 per square foot for open cell to $1.20 per board foot for closed cell, depending on the thickness and R-value your attic needs and whether you have insulation to remove first. A crawl space or rim joist job starts around $650 to $2,500 depending on the area and whether moisture or old insulation has to be addressed. Wall injection foam and insulation replacement jobs vary by the square footage and the condition of what's there. The biggest cost factors are the area you need covered, the R-value and thickness specified in your estimate, whether you're using open or closed cell foam, and what has to come out before we spray. Call us at (859) 309-7396 for a free estimate. We'll walk you through the numbers and explain what drives the cost.
