Tycho Solutions handles spray foam insulation in Phoenix, AZ, on new builds and retrofits. Complete envelopes specified to the assembly, not topped up.
Phoenix attics have carried the heaviest heat load in the state for decades, and homes built before the 1990s often still run on R-11 or R-19 batt that has compressed, shifted off the joists, or never met current depth in the first place. Add a composition or concrete tile roof deck baking above it and that gap becomes the single biggest driver of summer cooling load.
A proper insulation install here starts at the deck, not the floor: air sealing every penetration before fill goes in, baffles holding ventilation open at the eave, and fill or foam carried to full depth across every truss bay. Anything less leaves hot spots that show up as uneven ceiling temperatures and a cooling system running longer than it should.
We air seal the envelope before drywall goes up and carry every space to full depth, so the heat load stops at the shell instead of the ductwork.
Phoenix’s heat load and expanding new build footprint call for a thermal envelope installed right the first time, sealed tight before drywall closes every wall and attic space.
Open and closed cell spray polyurethane foam applied to wall cavities and roof decks before drywall goes in. In Phoenix’s high heat load, a continuous air seal cuts attic and wall gain and keeps HERS scores low on both custom homes and large commercial shells.
New attic spaces in Phoenix run hotter and longer than almost anywhere else in the state, so we install baffles at every soffit, hit full R value depth across the truss chords, and leave clean access for the code inspector before insulation gets covered.
Precision batt installation in exterior and interior wall cavities on new Phoenix builds, cut tight around outlets, plumbing, and framing so there is zero compression or gaps. We use it for standard wall cavities and interior sound control walls on custom homes and commercial tenant spaces.
Loose fill cellulose or fiberglass blown to consistent depth across new attic floors, common on the large truss attics built into Phoenix’s production and custom home developments. We set depth rulers and baffles first so coverage reads even at every inspection point, corner to corner.
Phoenix’s builder pipeline runs custom home crews and large commercial developers on the same tight schedule, so we work as one insulation partner across both: coordinating with framing and drywall, covering wall cavities, attics, and roof decks under a single ROC license and one crew.
Full removal of old fiberglass, cellulose, or contaminated attic insulation ahead of a complete re-insulation, cleared to bare deck and framing so the new install starts on a clean, code ready surface. Common on full envelope replacement projects and additions to older Phoenix properties.
Builders and homeowners in Phoenix call us because the insulation goes in before drywall closes the wall or attic, not after a problem shows up on the utility bill. We coordinate directly with framing and HVAC crews, so depth and air sealing get checked while the space is still open.
Written workmanship warranty on every install, backed by manufacturer-rated materials chosen for Phoenix attic temperatures, not the mildest climate on the spec sheet.
One crew scheduled against framing and drywall on Phoenix builds, so insulation goes in at the right stage instead of a callback later.
Open and closed cell foam, batt, and blown fill rated for sustained Phoenix attic heat, installed to full depth, not stopped short at the eave.

Phoenix’s housing stock runs from 1960s and 1970s ranch construction through today’s production and custom builds, and the insulation behind the walls and above the ceiling varies just as widely. Older stock built to legacy code often carries batt well under current depth, compressed flat in spots, with no continuous air seal at the top plates. Newer construction gives us a clean shell to hit full code depth before drywall closes it in.
The failure point is rarely the insulation material itself. It is the gaps around it: unsealed top plates, open chases around plumbing and electrical, attic hatches with no weatherstripping, and soffit vents blocked by fill that migrated past the baffles. Heat and conditioned air move through those gaps faster than through the batt or blown fill around them, which is why air sealing is its own step before any fill goes in.
Design review in Phoenix communities with an HOA tends to focus on what shows from the street, roof pitch, tile color, vent placement, so it rarely restricts what goes inside an attic or wall cavity. That gives us more room on material choice than on the exterior trades, and we use it to spec the fill or foam that fits the assembly, not the one that is easiest to get approved.

We treat insulation as one system, walls, attic, and air sealing together, not a single product dropped into an open cavity.
We schedule around framing and drywall on Phoenix builds so insulation goes in at the right stage, not as a rushed afterthought.
We hold to the schedule and the number we quote, coordinating around your framing, drywall, or trade timeline.
Cost depends on the space: square footage, whether it is open or closed cell foam, batt, or blown fill, and whether we are working new construction or removing old material first. We do not publish a flat number because a small attic and a full commercial roof deck are not priced the same job. Ask for an estimate and we will walk the space with you before quoting.
Topping off old batt or blown fill over contaminated or compressed material just buries the problem. If insulation has been through rodent activity, water intrusion, or years of settling, patching leaves the bad layer underneath doing nothing. We remove it to bare deck and framing and install fresh material to full depth, which is the only way to know what you actually have overhead.
Yes. Flat and low-slope roof decks, common on Phoenix commercial buildings and some residential additions, get closed cell spray foam applied directly to the underside of the deck, sealing the roof assembly and cutting the direct heat gain that a flat deck carries all day. We coordinate the foam application with the roofing crew so it goes in before the final coating, not after.
Yes. As a commercial insulation contractor in Phoenix, we work roof decks, tenant improvement walls, and cold storage or mechanical spaces on the same schedule as the general contractor and other trades. Commercial jobs usually mean tighter code requirements around fire rating and R value by occupancy type, and we coordinate that documentation with the project’s permit set rather than leaving it for inspection day.
Yes. Tycho Solutions is licensed, bonded, and insured under Arizona ROC #364735, and insulation work on new construction and full-property projects is pulled under the same permit as the rest of the build. On projects that require a separate insulation certificate or third-party inspection for code compliance, we schedule that inspection ourselves rather than leaving it on the homeowner or builder to track down.
Yes. Radiant barrier installation in Phoenix attics goes in as foil-faced decking or a stapled barrier under the roof deck, reflecting radiant heat before it ever reaches the insulation layer below. It is most effective paired with full-depth attic insulation and proper ventilation, not as a stand-alone fix, so we spec it as part of the full attic package rather than selling it on its own.
