Western New York winters are legendary for lake-effect snow, overnight temperature swings, and energy bills that spike when the mercury drops. Homeowners in Buffalo are turning to thermal foam insulation as the most effective, long-term way to seal their houses against brutal weather and rising utility costs. CountBricks, the region's leader in AI-powered estimating and takeoffs, delivers a seamless path from conversation to completed project—no guesswork, no hidden fees.
Thermal foam—often called spray polyurethane foam—expands on contact to fill cavities, cracks, and gaps that traditional batts or blown-in products miss. The result is an airtight envelope that:
Buffalo's climate demands an insulation material that performs in extremes. In sub-zero temperatures, small air leaks can account for up to 30% of a home's heat loss. Thermal foam's continuous seal stops that leakage. During summer, the same seal keeps humidity out and conditioned air in. CountBricks clients routinely report:

2. Instant Takeoff: Our AI blueprint module converts your verbal input—or uploaded plans—into square footage, board-feet of foam, and labor hours within seconds.
3. Dynamic Pricing: CountBricks pulls live material costs from regional suppliers, factors in crew availability, and generates an on-screen estimate you can approve on the spot.
4. Automated Quote Document: The moment you say “yes,” a branded PDF with scope, timeline, and payment schedule is emailed to you for e-signature.
5. Installation & Verification: Certified foam technicians arrive on schedule, complete the work, and provide a thermal camera report proving coverage.
Material: Open-cell foam averages $0.50–$0.65 per board-foot in Buffalo. Closed-cell ranges $1.00–$1.25.
Labor: CountBricks crews target 500–600 board-feet per hour, translating to $1.10–$1.40 per square foot of wall or ceiling area depending on complexity.
Ancillary Items: Vent baffles, vapor-retarder paint, and blower door testing add $0.15–$0.25 per square foot but ensure code compliance.
