We often get asked why or how we got into spray foam insulation and Beyond Roofing. That’s easy: we saw it on TV and thought we could do it! Well, that’s a bit of a stretch – but not totally inaccurate.
In 2000, Curt Janzen (co-owner) was working for a home builder doing site superintendent duties. One of the upgrades that was done on every home was a rim joist* insulation package. To insulate the rim joist we would first install a fiberglass batt. From there we would custom cut SM Styrofoam to fit every pocket. When this was complete, he would then acoustical seal each Styrofoam panel to the wood that was around it to ensure there was no air leakage. As you can imagine, this was a very tedious and time-consuming process for such a small area of the home. It didn’t take long for Curt to wonder if there was a better way or material to use to insulate these tough areas.
Kevin was a Registered Social Worker and was working with youth that had social and emotional issues. After many years of working with youth in the social services field, he needed a change of vocation. Kevin had almost completed his RCMP application and was close to starting his training. After some consideration, he decided that staying in Calgary and starting an insulation business was a better choice for his family. So, from humble beginnings (working out of Curt’s garage) Beyond Foam made its start in Calgary.
