Spray foam insulation is widely used on roofs, exterior walls, and interior walls to reduce air infiltration and decrease heating bills. When it comes to investing in spray foam equipment, it should be carefully considered.
Cheap spray equipment can quickly break down, leading to lost revenue and expensive repairs. To avoid such hazards, invest in quality equipment from a reputable distributor. Quality spray foam rigs and systems can ensure continuity of work and financial security.
1. Efficiency
Spray foam insulation projects can be highly profitable for contractors. However, their profitability depends on various factors, including efficiency and cost; any deficiencies in either area could impede your ability to compete against competitors and generate the expected profits.
Modern insulating rigs can make operations more efficient by offering storage for spray machines and materials and protecting against adverse climatic conditions.
Furthermore, they allow you to move projects quickly. Since you can complete jobs faster and increase gross profit when selecting the appropriate rig for your business type and projects, this speed can only help your bottom line.
2. Speed
Spray foam insulation projects can yield substantial profits for contractors if priced properly and completed efficiently, producing over $1 Million annually in annual profits from one job with two crew members working.
Your equipment requires regular and proper care and cleaning to remain at peak performance, using eco-friendly solvents only when necessary to prevent unnecessary damage to its spray gun and hoses, leading to downtime and loss of business. Cutting corners could result in downtime for you or, even worse – possible damage could even cause it!
As one way of stretching your budget, consider purchasing a used rig. Be wary of sellers who do not disclose details regarding the model, age, and maintenance history of their equipment. In some cases, you might even find additional accessories and leftover products – for instance, our BULLDOGi rig features the Graco PowerStation, which uses heat from your diesel engine to heat materials within its reactor Reactor, saving you on fuel costs!
3. Flexibility
When purchasing a spray foam insulation rig, it’s essential to carefully consider your business model and its intended usage. Will the equipment serve a specific market or complete both residential and commercial projects?
Shore power-connected rigs can reduce fuel costs by eliminating the need for generators on job sites that provide access to electricity. They’re particularly suitable for clients that have access to electric sources nearby.
Transport of the rig is also of great significance when selecting an insulation spraying rig for jobs. Rigs designed to fit into a 32″ elevator may provide insulation services at remote sites inaccessible to larger trucks and trailers.
4. Reliability
Rigs can cost upward of $30,000, making them too costly for all contractors. Opting to purchase used spray foam insulation rigs instead can help them get their work done while staying within their budget.
Residential contractors specializing in insulation attics or air barrier systems and roofs can find the equipment needed for their business by shopping locally with sellers. Most vendors are upfront about the equipment’s history and condition; many even provide extra accessories or leftover products to make their offer even more enticing.
Plus, you’ll avoid supply chain shortages and long waits when purchasing new rigs. A suitable rig will enable you to deliver on client promises while building an outstanding business reputation.
5. Competitiveness
Spray foam jobs can be quite profitable for small businesses that operate efficiently. Purchase spray foam equipment early and reduce expenses on necessary business necessities like staffing, insurance, and supplies. You could see profits reach into the millions per year. Used spray foam rigs may also be more economical and come equipped with additional equipment that would otherwise not be included with new ones. Furthermore, some sellers provide extra equipment or leftover products not normally included with new rigs.
