Why Woolsey Insulation Sacramento Is Loomis’s Preferred Spray Foam Insulation Company
Woolsey has been insulating attics and walls since 2002, and we’ve spent years working on the kind of homes Loomis is known for: big custom builds on acreage, older ranch-style houses with vaulted ceilings, and plenty of attached garages that were never insulated in the first place. Glenn Hartley, who leads our team, started Woolsey with a simple rule: the price you’re quoted is the price you pay. That’s written into every contract we hand a Loomis homeowner.
We’re part of the Kingswell family of independently owned and operated insulation companies, which means we’re backed by a written guarantee on every job.

We answer our phones 24/7 with a live person. Not a voicemail box. Not an automated menu. A person who can schedule your estimate and answer questions about open-cell versus closed-cell foam right then.
Rim Joist Spray Foam in Loomis
Rim joist spray foam in Loomis homes is the fix for a thermal bridge that pushes 110°F air straight into your mudroom, pantry, or kitchen wall cavities in summer. The rim joist is the wooden band that sits on top of your foundation wall, where the floor framing meets the outside. In most Loomis houses, it was never insulated. That leaves a direct path for outside air to move into the conditioned space.
We see this constantly in Loomis homes with basements and large attached garages. The garage slab stays hot, the rim joist conducts that heat, and the living space above it never cools down. Sealing and foaming each bay stops that air movement. A typical rim joist job in Loomis runs $1,200 to $2,200 depending on linear footage and access. We give you the exact written number before the crew arrives.
Detached Workshops and Tack Rooms
Loomis has more detached garages, barns, and workshops than most towns in Placer County. If you have a workshop attached to a tack room or conditioned living quarters, the rim joist is often the source of the problem. Foam seals it airtight and stops dust, heat, and odors from moving between spaces.
Access and Cleanup
Most Loomis rim joist bays are accessible from the crawl space or basement. Our techs lay down protection before spraying and vacuum any overspray before they leave. You get a clean job site, every time, in writing.
Crawl Space Spray Foam Insulation in Loomis
Crawl space spray foam insulation in Loomis is one of the fastest ways to stop a musty smell rising from a dirt floor and cool down rooms above it. Loomis summers bake the ground, and that heat radiates up through the floor assembly. Open-cell foam on the crawl space walls and rim joists blocks that path and keeps the space warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Our crews regularly work in Loomis crawl spaces under older ranch-style homes. These spaces tend to be tight, with low clearance and irregular footings. Closed-cell foam is usually the better choice here because it adds structural strength and resists moisture better than open-cell. A typical crawl space encapsulation job in Loomis runs $4,000 to $9,000 depending on square footage and access. You’ll know your exact number before we start.
Moisture and Smell Control
Loomis’s dry summer heat doesn’t eliminate crawl space moisture. Irrigation runoff, poor drainage, and clay-heavy soil keep dirt floors damp well into fall. Closed-cell foam on the walls and rim joists acts as a vapor retarder, which is the first step in knocking down that musty smell.
Floor Comfort in Winter
Loomis winters are mild, but floors over a dirt crawl space still get cold. Spray foam keeps the floor assembly warmer, so you’re not walking on cold tile in the morning.
Trusted Brands We Service in Loomis
We install and service spray foam from Johns Manville, Demilec, and CertainTeed. That means when you call Woolsey, your foam recommendation is based on what actually fits your home. Not whatever is left in the truck. We carry the full product lines for these brands, so if you have an existing application that needs inspection or a touch-up, we can match it.
Common Spray Foam Insulation Problems We See in Loomis Homes
- Overspray on custom finishes. Loomis is full of carriage-house doors, cedar trim, and exposed beams. If the foam isn’t applied with proper masking and low-pressure technique, overspray lands on finished surfaces and requires solvent cleanup that mars factory finishes. We protect those surfaces before the gun ever comes out.
- Foam applied too thick in one pass on vaulted ceilings. Two-part foam cures with an exothermic reaction. Put it on too thick, especially over unvented vaulted ceilings in older Loomis ranches, and you risk charring or off-gassing that forces the family out of the house until it cures. We control the lift thickness. Every time.
- Missing rim joist bays in attached garages. We see this weekly in Loomis. A homeowner upgrades attic insulation and still has a hot mudroom because the rim joist was skipped. It’s a small job that makes a big difference, and we check for it on every estimate.
- Condensation on metal ductwork in attics. Hot Loomis attics with cold air moving through metal ducts sweat. That moisture drips onto ceiling drywall and shows up as stains. Foaming the roofline brings the attic into the conditioned envelope and stops the condensation cycle.
Pricing for Spray Foam Insulation in Loomis, CA
Here’s what Loomis homeowners can expect to pay, based on the jobs we’ve priced in this market. Open-cell spray foam for a full attic runs $2,800 to $5,500. Closed-cell runs higher, typically $5,000 to $7,500 for an average Loomis attic, because it delivers better R-value per inch and acts as a vapor barrier. Rim joist work starts at $1,200 and most homes fall in the $1,500 to $2,200 range. Crawl space encapsulation is the widest range, $4,000 to $9,000, because square footage and access vary so much from one Loomis property to the next.
Every estimate is free. You get a written price before any work starts, and that number doesn’t change at the door. Call (279) 972-8973 to schedule yours.

FAQs About Spray Foam Insulation in Loomis
No, it won’t. Closed-cell spray foam applied to the underside of your roof deck does not affect shingle warranties from Owens Corning or any other manufacturer. The shingle warranty covers manufacturing defects and weather-related failure, not the insulation choice below the deck. Some older warranty language mentioned ventilation, but today’s building codes and manufacturer guidance explicitly recognize unvented attic assemblies with spray foam as compliant. We can provide documentation for your specific roof assembly if you want it in writing before we start.
We mask and cover every finished surface within ten feet of the spray area, including door tracks, wood trim, and custom carriage-house doors. Our techs use low-pressure application near finished surfaces and run a vacuum during application to capture airborne overspray. The masking goes up before the gun comes out, and it comes down only after we’ve inspected for residue. If anything gets on a finished surface, it’s cleaned before we leave. That’s covered under The Kingswell Guarantee.
No, not from inside the living space. Spray foam needs direct access to the surface it’s being applied to. If the vaulted ceiling is drywalled, we access the cavity from the attic side and spray the roof deck directly above the ceiling. If there’s no attic access above the vault, we’d need to discuss alternatives, like blown-in insulation in accessible adjacent bays. We’ll walk your roofline and tell you what’s possible before quoting anything.
Yes, it does. The musty smell in a Loomis crawl space comes from moisture in the soil and organic material decomposing slowly in the damp air. Closed-cell spray foam on the walls and rim joists seals the crawl space from outside air and reduces the air movement that carries that smell up into your living room. Proper drainage and vapor retarder installation are still part of the job, but foam is the big lever for odor control.
Yes. Title 24 allows unvented attic assemblies when the roof deck is insulated with spray foam to specified R-value minimums. In Loomis, that means R-38 for most roof assemblies. Closed-cell foam at 4 to 5 inches typically meets or exceeds that, depending on the product. We’ll specify the exact foam and depth needed on your written estimate so you can hand it to your building inspector without a second thought.
