About Us

Whats the story... ?

I always say that I came into this business sideways.   I graduated from North Carolina State University with a BS in Botany.   From there I spent 4 years working in RTP for Paradigm Genetics (later known as Icoria) working in Greenhouse Management, High-throughput genomic sequencing.... growing little plants, science blah blah blah...  

Now its a long and winding road work wise from then to now.  But eventually I ended up installing sealed crawlspaces, and spraying polyurethane foam.  Most of this work was in existing homes and being a science geek at heart I started to try to understand the "Why" of what I was doing.  

Over the next 15 years I've worked to become a specialist in high performance building envelopes  and their air, thermal, and moisture barrier alignment.  I've become an expert in the application, specification, and performance of sprayed polyurethane foam, fluid and self applied air/ vapor barriers, waterproofing, and fiberglass batt and blown insulation.

I'm currently teaching 4 continuing education classes, on numerous dates in 2024.  Take a look at the link below.

 Josh Collins makes any & all construction subjects fun & interesting.  He’s the best I’ve ever seen.  He has a great easily delivered grasp of building science that actually makes complexities understandable & thereby realistically applicable in the field.  In this cumulatively compounded more & more arduous industry that requires disparate specialty ranges in daily slices of legalese, physics, endurance, chemistry, weather, accounting, patience & deep people skills, Josh is a great big breath of fresh air!
