Most home warranties exclude insulation. Manufacturer warranties on the foam itself (Demilec, Icynene, BASF) cover material defects for 25 years. Our workmanship warranty terms are confirmed in writing before work begins.
More detail
Homeowners warranties (American Home Shield, Choice Home Warranty, etc.) almost universally exclude insulation from coverage; the standard claim categories cover HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and major appliances. Foam-specific coverage comes from two sources. (1) Manufacturer material warranties: Demilec offers 25-year limited material warranty; Icynene and BASF offer similar. These cover defects in the foam itself (off-ratio cure, material failure, delamination). Claim through the manufacturer with documentation from the original install. (2) Workmanship warranties from our technician: range from 1-10 years depending on the specific installer and project. Cover installation defects (incomplete coverage, sealing miss, code violation). Get warranty terms in writing at quote time; some Cincinnati installers offer transferable warranties (carries to next homeowner at sale), which is a small but meaningful resale benefit. Cincinnati transferable-warranty value: some our Cincinnati installers offer transferable workmanship warranties that carry to the next homeowner at sale. Cincinnati real-estate context: a transferable warranty adds modest resale value (typically $500-$1,500 favorable in offer prices) and is a small marketing advantage in listings featuring foam. Confirm transferability before signing and preserve the documentation throughout ownership.
