Insulation in Aurora

RenoHouse installs spray foam insulation, blown-in cellulose and fiberglass, and fiberglass batt insulation. We recommend the best type based on the area being insulated, your budget, and the R-value required for Ontario climate performance.

Insulation costs depend on the type, area size, and accessibility. Blown-in attic insulation typically ranges from $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot, while spray foam insulation ranges from $3 to $7 per square foot. RenoHouse provides free on-site estimates with transparent pricing.

Ontario Building Code requires R-50 for attics and R-24 for exterior walls in new construction. For existing homes, upgrading to these levels provides the best energy savings. RenoHouse assesses your current insulation and recommends the optimal upgrade.

Spray foam provides the highest R-value per inch, creates an air-tight seal, and acts as a vapor barrier. While more expensive upfront than blown-in or batt insulation, it delivers superior energy savings and typically pays for itself within 3 to 5 years through lower heating and cooling bills.

In some cases, yes. Blown-in insulation can be injected through small holes into enclosed wall cavities. For unfinished basement walls, we can install spray foam or rigid foam board directly. RenoHouse assesses the best approach during the free estimate.

Yes, RenoHouse provides all necessary documentation for rebate programs including the Canada Greener Homes Grant, which can cover up to $5,000 of insulation upgrade costs. We walk you through the application process and ensure your project qualifies.

Composite decking (TimberTech, Trex Transcend) and tropical hardwoods (Ipe, cumaru) are the top choices for luxury outdoor spaces. Composite offers minimal maintenance with 25-year warranties, while natural hardwoods provide unmatched beauty that ages gracefully. Both support sophisticated designs with built-in lighting and custom railings.

Cedar siding should be cleaned and re-stained every 3–5 years to maintain its appearance and weather resistance. We use premium semi-transparent stains that enhance the natural wood grain while providing UV and moisture protection. Annual inspection for any damaged boards prevents small issues from becoming costly repairs.

Absolutely — we design and build complex outdoor living spaces including multi-level decks, pergolas, outdoor kitchens with gas and electrical connections, and integrated lighting. These projects require proper engineering, permits, and coordination of multiple trades — exactly the kind of project we excel at managing.
