Rigid Foam in Tierrasanta, CA.
Rigid Foam for Tierrasanta 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 Central San Diego?
Central San Diego rigid foam shows up under flat roofs and over slabs on older La Mesa and Lemon Grove homes. Slab-edge rigid foam cuts cold-floor complaints and adds thermal mass to the conditioned space.

How does Tierrasanta's climate affect this service?
Tierrasanta sits surrounded by Mission Trails Regional Park on three sides , ember-resistant attic ventilation is now mandatory on every insulation upgrade, and Class A assembly documentation is what insurance carriers want for renewal. Original 1970s-80s attic insulation is settled and underperforming across most of the community.. Central San Diego rigid foam shows up under flat roofs and over slabs on older La Mesa and Lemon Grove homes.
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.
