Retrofitting SPF Las Vegas
Mason,
Have a contractor in Las Vegas with a 4 month old home who would like to know about retrofitting SPF into his attic, and possibly some customers. Any advice on the subject and possibly a contact of a quaility, knowledgeable foamer in that area???

I am not sure what building code is used in Las Vegas. If they are using the ICC 2006 IRC code then they can spray foam to the underside of the roof deck in an unvented attic configuration. If they are using the ICC 2003 IRC code, then unvented attics are not allowed.

As for contractors, try calling SPF suppliers that have a strong presence in the area. Most of your west coast suppliers (California, Washington state, Arizona, etc) know the good the bad and the ugly in Las Vegas. Get a good sampling of prospects and check out their references. Also check out my website for an article on retrofitting solutions with SPF http://masonknowles.com/docs/remodeling_solutions.pdf
