Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about closed-cell spray foam, how we quote, and how we work on the Kenai Peninsula.
The Business
Working With Bosela
How we quote, how we schedule, and what you can expect from us.
Andrew takes most of the incoming calls, and his father and co-owner Tony answers on occasion. You reach the family that does the work. Our customers tell us we are the only spray foam company on the Kenai Peninsula that answers, and we work hard to keep it that way.
Our core service area is the Kenai Peninsula. Beyond that we work the Rail Belt road system, reach Southeast Alaska by ferry, and travel to outlying communities by barge or air for larger projects. Seward, Homer, Southeast Alaska, and Kodiak Island are areas we are actively growing. Call us with your location and we will tell you straight.
Yes. Bosela Enterprises is fully licensed (license #26736), insured, and bonded. We are members of the Kenai Peninsula Builders Association.
Yes. All estimates are free.
We take your name, number, email, project details, and timeline. If the project needs it, we schedule a jobsite walkthrough to pull a tape measure and look at what you have going on. Depending on whether we visit the site or work from plans, the quote reaches you by email or text within a few hours to a few days, and we follow up with you after that.
We give a 90 day price guarantee from the day we generate your quote.
We give a 5% discount to active military, veterans, police, fire, and EMS when you ask. We also offer up to a 15% discount on volume and contractor jobs.
We handle financing and payment plans case by case. An escrow account with a local bank is also an option on larger projects.
From mid June to early December we run two rigs and book two to six weeks out, so call early if you need a date. January and February are our quietest months, and March through May is when most people plan their builds.
Call us. We come back out for any issue you have with the foam or the install.
Foam & Application
The Foam And How We Install It
What we install, why it suits Alaska, and how it goes into your building.
We specialize in closed-cell spray polyurethane foam, also called urethane foam. It air-seals, insulates, and adds a moisture barrier in one application, which is what Alaska climate zones 7 and 8 need. Our approach is to give you a whole system understanding of the thermal, air, and water barriers in your project, not just a number on a bag.
Closed-cell foam handles the thermal, air, and water sides of the envelope in one step. In climate zones 7 and 8 that matters, because air leaks and moisture move more heat out of an Alaska building than the insulation value alone accounts for.
Yes, as a hybrid with spray foam in roofs and attics. Two to three inches of spray foam does the sealing and moisture work where it counts most, then blown-in chases the code R-value more affordably. We will tell you when that assembly is the better value for your project.
Yes. Insulation removal is one of our services. It is real labor, so we scope it and quote it as its own step rather than folding it into the foam price.
It depends on the assembly and what your building code requires. Where a covering is required, we apply IFTI DC315 intumescent ignition-barrier coating over the foam. We also apply single component thermal coatings.
Huntsman Building Solutions Heatlok-HFO closed-cell foam, CertainTeed CertaSeal INT for air sealing, Rockwool Safe’n’Sound for soundproofing, and IFTI DC315 for ignition-barrier coatings.
A spray foam system can reduce a monthly heating bill by up to half, sometimes more, with the return on an average Alaska home landing between three and five years. As Andrew puts it: you can always replace flooring or countertops later on, but you only have one chance to insulate your home.
Homes, attics, and crawl spaces on the residential side. Metal buildings, pole barns, warehouses, new commercial construction, and commercial retrofit on the commercial side.
Safety & Health
Safety In Your Home
What spray foam means for the people who live in the building.
Properly manufactured and properly installed spray foam does not pose a health risk, including for people with respiratory issues. Friends and family of ours who have asthma have seen better health and wellbeing in spray foam insulated homes when the foam is combined with proper HVAC.
Spray foam is mixed on site, so the install is the product. Material temperature, ratio, thickness per pass, and prep all decide whether you get a sealed system or a problem. That is why we are certified with Huntsman Building Solutions on Heatlok-HFO and why we take the time to explain the science behind the process before you decide anything.
Still have a question?
Call us and ask. We answer the phone, and we are always happy to pass on the experience and the science behind the process.
