In San Jose, the combination of mild winters, hot summers, and coastal moisture makes energy efficiency crucial. High-performance foam insulation, often referred to as “sanjose foam,” provides the airtight envelope needed to stabilize indoor temperatures and reduce utility costs. However, many construction professionals face challenges with cost estimation and proposal accuracy.
