Rigid Foam in Lake San Marcos, CA.
Rigid Foam for Lake San Marcos homes, done by a vetted local insulation crew. Rigid foam handles thermal bridging, the heat that bleeds through studs and rafters. We install EPS, XPS, or polyiso continuous insulation on exterior walls, under flat or low-slope roofs, on the underside of slabs, and as a thermal break under siding.
Why is rigid foam different in North County Inland San Diego?
Inland rigid foam shows up on siding redos in Escondido and San Marcos, adding 1 to 2 inches of polyiso under new siding gives a continuous-insulation upgrade that pays back on cooling.

EPS, XPS, or polyiso, which board?
EPS is cheapest and vapor-permeable; good for exterior walls and below grade. XPS has higher R per inch and resists moisture; common on roofs and under slabs. Polyiso has the highest R per inch but loses some R in cold weather, fine in San Diego where it rarely gets that cold. We pick based on assembly and budget.
Will adding rigid foam mess up my windows and doors?
It pushes the wall plane out. We extend window and door jambs with proper trim, flash to drainage planes, and detail water management. This is normal exterior-insulation work and we plan for it on the quote.
