This page is for Woodland Hills homeowners who have CertainTeed products in their homes or are weighing CertainTeed against other brands for a spray foam project. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider. That means we work on CertainTeed systems and install CertainTeed foam, but we don’t answer to the manufacturer – our warranty comes from us, in writing, for 365 days.
How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
CertainTeed makes solid insulation products. We’ve installed enough of it across the Valley to know where the weak points are, and those weak points are rarely the foam itself. They’re usually about what happens around it. Here’s what we see in Woodland Hills homes:
- CertainTeed OPTIMA blow-in system over old foam, under-performing. We see this constantly in Warner Center condos and older Woodland Hills tract homes. Someone years ago put thin closed-cell in the attic, then someone else blew CertainTeed OPTIMA loose-fill on top of it. The foam’s air-sealing benefit gets buried, and the fiberglass layer traps moisture against the foam. If the foam wasn’t thick enough to hit the dew point calculation for our climate, you get damp insulation and a musty ceiling. Our fix: remove the contaminated stuff, air-seal properly, and reinstall the right product for the space.
- Rim joist bays in pier-and-post foundations with nobody in them. CertainTeed’s CertaSpray closed-cell is a great rim joist product, but plenty of Woodland Hills homes from the 1960s and 70s still have completely empty rim joist cavities. That’s a direct conduit for outside air into your living space. We spray CertaSpray closed-cell into those bays at 2 inches minimum, which in our climate is enough to hit a vapor retarder threshold and stop the air exchange cold.
- Open-cell foam pulling away from roof decking. CertainTeed’s CertaSpray open-cell does fine in most Woodland Hills attics, but we’ve seen adhesion failures on older plywood decking with decades of baked-on dust and roof leak staining. The foam doesn’t bond, it peels down in sheets over a couple of seasons. Fix is straightforward: clean the substrate properly or, if the deck’s too far gone, switch the spec to closed-cell where adhesion is much less finicky.
- Garage ceilings sprayed with open-cell, then someone puts a room above. CertainTeed CertaSpray open-cell is great for garage ceilings in Woodland Hills – until a homeowner converts the space above and now the open-cell’s sound and thermal performance falls short of code. We re-spray with closed-cell or add a CertainTeed rigid board layer over the open-cell depending on the assembly. The point is the product was right for the original use and wrong for the new one. That’s a design issue, not a CertainTeed issue.
- Unsealed penetrations around recessed lights and plumbing chases above CertainTeed batts. This one’s the sleeper. You can have CertainTeed’s finest fiberglass batts in the attic, but if the spray foam around the light cans and vent pipes isn’t done or wasn’t done at all, the batt’s R-value is doing maybe half its job. We see it weekly in Woodland Hills, particularly in the older neighborhoods off Mulholland where remodels added can lights by the dozen and nobody air-sealed the attic before insulating. As Chase Whitaker likes to say, “If your attic is under-insulated, your AC is just paying rent to the outside air.”

FAQs
Yes, in most Woodland Hills homes, certainTeed open-cell or closed-cell spray foam pays for itself over time through lower AC costs, especially during our hot Valley summers. If your home is under-insulated or has visible gaps, spray foam’s air-sealing value typically beats the cost of fiberglass alone. Call (559) 295-5362 for a straight recommendation on your house.
Most Woodland Hills spray foam jobs are done in one day. Larger roof deck or full attic jobs can stretch to two. We’ll give you a specific date and time window before we arrive, and you can track us live on the day of the job.
CertainTeed products carry manufacturer warranties, but as an independent CertainTeed service provider, our warranty is separate and in writing: the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything fails within a year, we fix it or you get a free second visit. No argument.
If the insulation is wet, moldy, compressed, or missing coverage, replacement is usually the better value. If it’s simply a gap or a thin spot, we can often repair the problem area and save you money. We’ll inspect and tell you what’s actually needed before quoting a dollar amount.
Spray foam installation requires professional mixing and application equipment, safety gear, and moisture control knowledge. We don’t recommend DIY for spray foam because improper application can cause off-gassing, poor adhesion, or fire risk. Leave it to trained pros with the right gear and warranty.
