Fast, Reliable Spray Foam Insulation Across Redlands
Spray foam insulation in Redlands typically runs between $3.50 and $7.50 per square foot depending on open-cell or closed-cell foam, with most attic jobs in the 92373 and 92374 ZIP codes landing in the $4,800 to $14,000 range.

Why Hollywood Insulation Co Is Redlands’s Preferred Spray Foam Insulation Company
We’re a pure insulation contractor. That’s all we do, every day, in every home we touch. Redlands homeowners don’t get a technician who also happens to do drywall or HVAC; they get a crew that has spent years diagnosing air leakage, thermal bypasses, and R-value failures in this specific climate. Noel Camacho built this company around one conviction: the right insulation is chosen for the house, not for whatever’s on the truck. That’s why we install open-cell Icynene, closed-cell Demilec, Rockwool mineral wool, and GreenFiber cellulose. Eight brands, three installation methods. One honest recommendation.
When you call us about Spray Foam Insulation in Redlands, you’re talking to someone who knows that a 1910 Craftsman near Sylvan Park has a completely different envelope than a 2005 stucco tract home off San Bernardino Avenue. We don’t guess. We inspect, we measure, and we tell you what’s actually worth doing and what isn’t. That’s why Redlands homeowners and remodelers keep calling us back. Estimates are free, and we show up when we say we will.
Spray Foam Attic Insulation in Redlands
Spray foam attic insulation in Redlands is the highest-ROI upgrade we install. The first sentence tells you why: attics here routinely exceed 130°F from June through September, and the Redlands housing stock includes thousands of production homes built in the 1960s through 1990s with sagging R-11 fiberglass batts that have compressed to near-zero effective R-value. We foam the roofline or the ceiling deck, seal every penetration, and cut both heat gain and dust intrusion in one pass.
Closed-Cell Ceiling Deck Application
For most Redlands attics, we recommend closed-cell Demilec on the ceiling deck. It air-seals and insulates in one step. R-7 per inch. A typical 1,500-square-foot attic in Redlands runs $7,000 to $12,000. We foam all the top plates, plumbing penetrations, and light-can gaps before the field coat goes on so the Santa Ana dust has no chimney to ride in through.
Roofline Encapsulation
When your air handler or ductwork lives in the attic, roofline encapsulation puts the entire attic inside the conditioned envelope. Open-cell Icynene is often the better call here. It’s lighter, expands more aggressively into the rafter bays, and costs less per board foot, usually $4.50 to $6.50 per square foot for a 3.5-inch average depth. Your attic drops from 140°F to maybe 90°F, and the system stops fighting the heat all day long.
Spray Foam Wall Insulation in Redlands
Spray foam wall insulation in Redlands solves a different problem than attic work: the 100°F-plus afternoons heating up stucco and siding, then pushing that heat through every unsealed gap into the living space. We see it most in the post-war and 1980s tract homes east of downtown and in newer master-planned builds where production crews left top plates unsealed and can lights leaky. Walls can be foamed from the inside during a remodel or from the outside when siding comes off.
Drill-and-Fill Retrofit
For an occupied home, we can drill through the exterior stucco or siding, inject open-cell Icynene into the stud bays, and seal the top and bottom plates. The foam expands into the cavity, stops the interior air movement, and cuts wall heat gain by 60 to 70 percent. In Redlands, this work usually runs $5.50 to $7.00 per square foot of wall area.
New Construction & Addition Walls
If you’re building an ADU or extending the footprint west of the University of Redlands, we recommend closed-cell Demilec for the walls. It gives you a moisture and vapor retarder, R-7 per inch, and structural shear strength. Builders in Redlands who work with us on accessory dwelling units get a tighter envelope, which matters when the city enforces its energy-compliance checklist.
Trusted Brands We Service in Redlands
We carry two spray foam systems as our primary options: Icynene open-cell and Demilec closed-cell. We also install CertainTeed fiberglass and GreenFiber cellulose when the job calls for it. Why does that matter? Because a company that only pours one brand has to sell you that brand. We choose based on what your Redlands home actually needs. We stock foam drums, hoses, and spray tips in our local inventory, which means we’re not canceling on you because a distributor in Riverside is out of stock. Call (866) 605-6949 and we’ll tell you what we’d put in our own attic.
Common Spray Foam Insulation Problems We See in Redlands Homes
- Santa Ana dust chimneys. Recessed light cans and plumbing penetrations that were never foamed act as intake ports during wind events. We stuff every one before spraying the field coat. Miss one, and the foam bead pulls away from the dust dribbling through.
- Sagging open-cell in production attics. Builder-grade open-cell foam in newer Redlands master-planned homes can absorb moisture from Santa Ana dust infiltration and sag off the sheathing within a few seasons, especially when citrus-era venting was left in place by the track builder. We remove it and either re-spray correctly or switch the material.
- Unsealed top plates in tract homes. Triple-digit afternoon heat pours straight into wall cavities through unfoamed top plates. The spray foam can be perfect, but if the top plates are open, the wall’s R-value fight is only half won. We seal those first, every time.
- Citrus-era attic vents gone wrong. In older Redlands homes, the original redwood attic vents were designed to let hot afternoon air escape. They now intake Santa Ana dust and superheated air. We re-engineer or seal those vents before any foam goes down. This is the single biggest miss on every other spray foam quote in this city.
Pricing for Spray Foam Insulation in Redlands, CA
For a standard Redlands attic, expect $4,800 to $12,000 depending on square footage and foam type. Roofline encapsulation on a 2,000-square-foot home typically lands at $9,000 to $14,000. Wall injection retrofits run $5.50 to $7.00 per square foot of wall. Closed-cell runs higher per board foot than open-cell but gives you R-7 per inch and a built-in vapor retarder. The factors that move your quote: attic accessibility, amount of old insulation removal, and how many vent penetrations need sealing. We give you a line-item quote with the actual square footage and board-feet we plan to spray. Estimates are free. Call (866) 605-6949 and we’ll walk the job with you.

FAQs About Spray Foam Insulation in Redlands
Yes. Spray foam is the only insulation that air-seals as it insulates. When we foam your ceiling deck and seal every penetration, the Santa Ana dust has no path into the attic or living space. You’ll notice less dust on flat surfaces within the first month.
Yes, and we see this exact failure all over the newer Redlands tracts. The garage door weatherstripping fails, conditioned air gets pulled out through the attic hatch, and the bonus room above the garage roasts. We spray the garage ceiling deck with closed-cell foam and seal the top plates. Our crew addressed this in the Orchard Park tract near the Redlands Mall on a 2016-built home: the bonus room was hitting 95°F by noon; after 5 inches of Icynene closed-cell and top plate sealing, it stayed under 80°F on the next triple-digit afternoon.
Because the original redwood and cedar siding has shrunk over a century, and the original attic vents have become intake ports for hot air and Santa Ana dust. You lose more comfort through gaps than through missing R-value. We seal those gaps first, then foam what remains. Adding R-value over leaks just heats the leak air faster.
Open-cell Icynene is usually the right call for the attic, at least if the builder left the original citrus-era venting in place. It expands into all the gaps the builder missed and costs less per board foot than closed-cell. We recommend closed-cell on the ceiling deck if the garage is beneath or the attic is heavily ducted. We’ll tell you which one after we see the attic.
It helps more than any other single upgrade. The foam slows heat transfer in both directions. Your house holds its temperature longer into the evening and stays warmer on the cool desert winter nights. You’ll notice the air conditioner cycling less and the heat running for shorter bursts. Call (866) 605-6949 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what your house actually needs.
