The Midwest Spray Foam Insulation Experts
NIJAC Roofing & Insulation provides the spray foam insulation that farmers, businesses, and homeowners in the Midwest and nationwide rely on. In addition to reducing energy costs, spray foam insulation improves air quality and decreases noise pollution. Our original spray foam system employs the most reliable products and installation techniques available in the industry. Not only that, but we work hard to stay current on the latest advancements.
Spray foam systems (or spray polyurethane foam systems-SPF systems) have grown to become the most popular insulation materials on the market. When you hire a company to install an SPF system, be sure to go with someone with a proven track record. NIJAC can help you choose the right option for your area and find the best solution for you.
Commercial Spray Foam Insulation

Additionally, we perform services on industrial and manufacturing facilities, where temperature and moisture control are vital. We have years of experience to ensure that your operation is well protected and that you experience minimal disruption. Our experts help you decide the exact needs for your space and determine how to effectively insulate your structure. We are proud to provide spray foam to South Dakota commercial entities.
Residential Spray Foam Insulation
For residential services, our spray foam services include homes, garages, sheds and other outbuildings. Spray foam can also provide great moisture control and put less weight on the structure than typical insulation.
The Spray Foam Experts
Installing a SPF system requires a thorough plan as well as thorough training. Poorly installed spray foam can result in serious property damage, negative environmental effects and lost revenue. Spray foam provides building owners many benefits not found in other insulation options. At NIJAC, we put our extensive experience to work, installing the high-performing, long lasting insulation South Dakota and Nebraska commercial, agricultural and residential property owners need. We do what we can to protect their buildings, products, belongings and pocketbooks.
What are the Benefits of Spray Foam Protection?
Lower Energy Costs
Midwest weather is very diverse. Winters here can be brutally cold and summers unduly hot, which can lead to high heating and cooling costs. It is estimated that 40% of a structure’s heated or cooled air is lost as a result of air infiltration caused by holes, gaps or cracks. By wrapping your building with a spray foam lining barrier, the EPA estimates that you can see a reduction of up to 20% on your utility bills.
Increased Property Value
With the addition of spray foam, South Dakota and Nebraska structure owners will see a rise in the resale value of their property. They will likely recoup their insulation investment when it’s time to sell.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Improved indoor air quality is one of the benefits of installing spray foam protection that homes and businesses nationwide experience right away. An SPF system, when properly installed, has the ability to serve as a very effective moisture and vapor barrier. Spray foam expands and fills in gaps around obstacles and irregularly-shaped spaces that are hard to reach. Stopping allergens, pollution, mold and mildew is vital for the health of occupants, merchandise and agricultural products alike.
Reduced Moisture and Mold
Warm air that meets a cool surface will condense to form moisture. Mold and mildew thrive in moist conditions. If left unchecked, they can cause structural weakness, damage to a building’s contents, and health issues to occupants. NIJAC provides solutions with the spray foam South Dakota property owners need for better health and improved storage conditions.
Added Structural Integrity
With a spray foam installation, commercial, agricultural and residential building owners can add overall strength to their structures. Because spray foam insulation expands to completely fill voids and bonds to the surface, it adds integrity to a building. It can also help protect the roof from leakage around fasteners or at seams.
Noise Reduction
A SPF system helps control noise pollution by keeping outdoor sounds from entering a building. Manufacturers like spray foam insulation because it prevents excess noise from filtering out of the building and into the community. Contact us today to see what we can do for you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Spray Foam Insulation
What is spray foam insulation (SPF) and how does it work?
Spray foam insulation, or Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF), is a liquid chemical product that expands up to 30 to 60 times its initial volume upon application to create a dense, rigid thermal and airtight barrier. Unlike traditional fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam is sprayed directly into wall cavities, onto roofs, or into structural gaps. It instantly adheres to the surface, expanding to seal every micro-crack, joint, and hard-to-reach void to completely eliminate air infiltration.
How much can I save on my energy bills by installing spray foam insulation?
Installing spray foam insulation can reduce your heating and cooling utility bills by up to 20%, according to estimates by the EPA. Because roughly 40% of a building’s conditioned air escapes through unseen holes, gaps, and structural cracks, traditional insulation allows massive energy loss. Spray foam creates a seamless, airtight thermal envelope that stops this air infiltration, drastically lowering the workload on your HVAC systems in both freezing winters and scorching summers.
What are the main benefits of commercial and agricultural spray foam insulation?
Commercial and agricultural property owners experience several distinct operational advantages by installing an SPF system:
- Strict Temperature & Moisture Control: Vital for manufacturing facilities, pump rooms, and grain storage where climate stability is mandatory.
- Added Structural Integrity: The foam cures into a rigid, dense matrix that bonds to walls and roofs, physically strengthening the building envelope.
- Fastener Leak Protection: Encapsulates roofing screws, seams, and metal joints to stop water entry before it can cause rust or interior damage.
- Enhanced Asset Protection: Prevents extreme indoor condensation cycles, protecting stored agricultural products, livestock, and expensive machinery.
Can spray foam insulation prevent mold growth and improve indoor air quality?
Yes, professionally installed spray foam insulation improves indoor air quality and stops mold by acting as an advanced moisture and vapor barrier. Mold and mildew thrive when warm, humid air hits a cold, uninsulated surface and condenses into liquid water droplets. Spray foam seals out external moisture, drafts, airborne pollutants, and pollen, creating a healthier, dry environment for building occupants and sensitive inventory alike.
What is the difference between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam?
Open-cell and closed-cell spray foam differ significantly in density, moisture resistance, and structural strength:
- Closed-Cell Spray Foam: Highly dense and completely impermeable to water. It contains completely closed cells filled with a gas that boosts its R-value (typically around R-6.5 to R-7 per inch), making it ideal for exterior applications, commercial metal buildings, barns, and high-moisture zones.
- Open-Cell Spray Foam: More flexible and less dense, with cells that are deliberately left open. It features a lower R-value (around R-3.5 to R-3.8 per inch) but provides exceptional sound-dampening properties, making it excellent for residential interior walls, media rooms, and multi-story noise reduction.
Why is hiring an experienced contractor critical for SPF installation?
Hiring an experienced contractor is critical because improperly mixed or poorly applied spray foam can result in off-gassing odors, sticky material failures, lack of adhesion, and severe structural moisture traps. Achieving a perfect, high-performing thermal seal requires exact chemical ratios, precise temperature controls, and specialized training. A licensed, insured team ensures the foam cures safely and effectively to protect your investment.
Does spray foam insulation increase the resale value of a property?
Yes, properties insulated with spray foam experience a measurable increase in structural resale value. Modern home and commercial building buyers place a high premium on energy efficiency, structural strength, and low monthly operating costs. Investing in an advanced SPF system allows building owners to heavily leverage these efficiency metrics, frequently recouping their initial insulation investment when it comes time to sell.
