Spray Foam Insulation Case Study: A 3,600-Square-Foot Custom New Build in Ball Ground, GA

When Becki Jo and her husband decided to build their forever home in Ball Ground, Georgia, they took a hands-on approach from day one. Ground broke in the spring of 2023 on a custom, 3,600-square-foot single-family home, and Becki Jo stepped into the role of general contractor for the entire project.

With full responsibility for coordinating trades, timelines, and budgets, choosing the right insulation partner was a critical decision. That’s where Epic Spray Foam came in.

Choosing Epic Spray Foam

Becki Jo gathered multiple bids before making her decision. Epic Spray Foam was recommended by another builder, which prompted an initial call to Epic’s owner, Justin. After walking through the project details and insulation goals together, it was clear this would be a collaborative, service-driven partnership.

Our team took the time to explain insulation options, outline benefits, and answer questions clearly and honestly. Becki Jo explained, “Competitive pricing, responsiveness, and availability played a role, but trust was the deciding factor. From the start, communication was straightforward and reliable, with no long wait times and no unanswered calls.”

Insulation Strategy & Installation

Every home is different, and this build was no exception. Epic Spray Foam worked closely with Becki Jo throughout the construction process, providing guidance on insulation types and helping determine the best solutions for each area of the home.

Because timelines can shift during new construction, staying flexible and maintaining open communication is essential. Our team coordinated closely with the build schedule and completed the spray foam installation on the targeted dates without delaying other contractors. 

Just as importantly, the job site was left clean and ready for the next phase of construction, something that doesn’t always happen with insulation installs. Becki Jo said even contractors on-site who typically dislike working around spray foam were impressed by the quality and precision of the application.

Results That Speak for Themselves

Now completed, the home delivers exactly what spray foam insulation is designed to provide: comfort, efficiency, and performance.

Despite doubling the square footage compared to their previous 1,800-square-foot home, the homeowners were amazed to see their energy bills decrease. The insulation has created a more consistent indoor temperature, improved sound control, and significantly reduced energy costs.

For a customer with  experience in the construction industry, the results met and exceeded expectations.

A Stress-Free Experience

Building a home means managing countless moving parts, and not every contractor makes that easy. Epic Spray Foam prides itself on being the opposite.

We showed up when we said we would, completed the work efficiently, cleaned up thoroughly, and delivered exactly what was promised. For Becki Jo, that reliability made Epic Spray Foam “one less hassle” during an otherwise demanding build.
