    Spray Foam Insulation: Benefits, Risks & Alternatives | Ep. 55
    2026/11/11

    Spray foam insulation offers performance benefits, but installation quality and home design matter. I’ll explore its role in a healthy home, from air sealing to vapor control. I’ll explain why alternatives require early planning and share questions to discuss with your design and build team. Planning a healthy home and want help with your project? Tell us more 👉🏼 https://form.typeform.com/to/AuWz58ak In this episode, we will discuss: spray foam insulation, its performance benefits, installation concerns, and what it takes to plan a home without it. I’ll walk through open-cell and closed-cell foam, air sealing, R-value, vapor control, and thermal bridging to explain why another insulation material may not be a direct replacement. I’ll also discuss on-site mixing, potential installation defects, and why plant-based marketing deserves a closer look. If avoiding spray foam is a priority, I’ll explain why that conversation belongs in architectural planning. I’ll share questions about wall and roof sections, moisture analysis, material specifications, and whether your attic will be vented or unvented. These discussions can help you understand the proposed building assembly and communicate your expectations so your plans reflect the home you want built. 💬 Let's connect on Instagram!

    How to Know Your Healthy Home Is Built Right? | Ep. 54
    2026/11/03

    Building a beautiful home doesn’t necessarily mean you’re building a healthy home. Even homes that pass every required city inspection can have hidden construction defects, water intrusion, and mold issues that go unnoticed until years later. While building codes establish minimum requirements, they don’t guarantee that your home is watertight, airtight, or built to the higher standards you may expect.

    In this episode, I share my personal experience discovering hidden mold in my first home, explain who’s actually responsible for verifying construction quality, and walk through the additional inspections and testing that can help protect your investment before it’s too late

    In this episode, I address:

    - Why passing city inspections doesn’t guarantee a healthy home

    - The gaps between architects, builders, and building code requirements

    - How architectural construction administration helps verify work

    - Why independent home inspections are worth considering

    - The importance of window leak testing and additional quality control

    - When to schedule inspections before insulation and drywall

    - How to protect your investment with a “trust but verify” approach.
