Kevin B's 5-Star Review
I had a great experience with Sunlight Contractors for a spray foam insulation job in my metal garage. From start to finish, the process was smooth and professional.
Ira, the owner, was straightforward, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He communicated with me throughout the entire process and answered all questions I could think of. Clayton, the estimator, took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure the quote and scope were accurate with no surprises.
On install day, Corey and his crew did an excellent job. They were on time, respectful of the space, and clearly knew what they were doing. The spray foam application was clean, consistent, and well done, and they left the site neat when they finished.
The building already feels noticeably better insulated, and I’m very happy with the results. I’d definitely recommend Sunlight Contractors to anyone looking for quality spray foam work and a professional, reliable team.

Our team at Sunlight Contractors completely restored this 100-year-old Uptown New Orleans home from the ground up - eliminating moisture problems, rebuilding the structure, and remodeling the entire first floor into a healthy, efficient, and beautiful living space.
We began by tunneling under the home because it was only 3"-4" off the ground to perform a complete moisture remediation of the subfloor, sanitizing with Mold Stat, Jo-Max, and RMR, then treating every beam and joist with Bora-Care with blue tracer dye. After drying the structure to under 10% moisture, we encapsulated the subfloor with 3" of Gaco Western closed-cell spray foam, forming a permanent v***r and air barrier.
Once stabilized, we remodeled the entire first floor, rebuilding 2�10 joists, installing new �? subfloors, and laying over 1,000 sq. ft. of hardwood flooring. The kitchen, bathrooms, and living areas were fully upgraded with new cabinetry, tile, paint, and trim - all while the home was disinfected and air-purified using HEPA scrubbers and negative-pressure systems.
Outside, we replaced all siding and insulation with 4? Rockwool, a new weather barrier, and Hardie Board siding finished in Sherwin-Williams premium paint. We also rebuilt nineteen windows, installed three wall-mounted dehumidifiers, added a ventilation fan under the house, and finished with a brand-new custom privacy fence.
From the crawlspace to the crown molding, this project reflects the Gold-Star Building Science Standard - moisture control, air sealing, and craftsmanship built to last for decades.

The customers review on Sunlight Contractors
I hired Sunlight Contractors to resolve serious moisture and structural issues in my 100-year-old New Orleans home, and their team went above and beyond! They were so quick to address an extreme mold issue underneath the house that they discovered had also penetrated into the walls requiring a complete renovation of the downstairs. I was told by others - including the home inspector - that the crawl space was too small to get into, but Sunlight Contractors actually tunneled under the house. They disinfected and treated every inch of wood with EPA-approved solutions, thoroughly dried the subfloor, and sealed it with Bora-Care and closed-cell spray foam. How do I know they treated every inch? They use a blue dye to ensure nothing is missed!
They did not stop there. When severe hidden rot was discovered, they immediately updated me with a clear plan. They replaced rotted plywood and joists, pre-treated all new wood for mold and termites, and rebuilt the floor system to code.
In addition, Sunlight handled extensive plumbing, electrical, siding, painting, and Sheetrock work - all done with the same professionalism, integrity and attention to detail. Every in-house trade was coordinated seamlessly with no stress, and I could not be more pleased with the results!
What impressed me most was their commitment to long-term solutions and transparency. They documented every step, provided daily updates including photos and videos, and never cut corners as the original builders of the home obviously did. I highly recommend Sunlight Contractors to anyone who wants their home protected and restored the right way! They truly care about their customers and their work.

Great company! Ira and his employees are the best! They did a job for me after my home was flooded by Hurricane Francine.
“I had amazing experience with this company. The customer service was outstanding, and the owner oversaw the process every step of the way. They may have saved my home and health due to the high humidity/mold in my home. Sunlight Contractors LLC is the BEST!!

Daniel Lacoste Review, St. Gabriel, 70776
Last year I had a bad experience with a spray foam contractor and that's a nice way to put it. My building contractor referred me to Sunlight and from the first phone conversation to completion of the job, I have been thoroughly pleased with Ira and his crew! They were extremely professional , neat, thorough, and communicated what, why, and how the job would be done...and they did it as stated. There aren't enough superlatives to describe how exceptional this company was. If you need spray foam, look no further, they are the real deal.

Review of Annie C. of New Orleans, 70125
Ira and his team have been fantastic to work with! After Clayton came out and gave me a thorough estimate, taking the time to explain the scope of work and why things needed to be done, Ira got to work right away! I’ve been very impressed with the whole team— and thrilled to learn they do *everything* so instead of having to search for contractors to finish out my space they’re doing it all with a speed and competency that’s been very hard to find. Ira has made sure that I understand what’s going on and has been really wonderful to work with. We’re still mid-process and so far I’m extremely pleased! The spray foam job looks great and I’m excited to finally be able to keep my house cool in the summer!

Frank D from New Orleans wrote a 5-star review below.
This is my second review of Sunlight Contractors LLC, who sprayed open cell foam on the bottom of my roof deck in August 2020. It was a nice improvement, but my family kept complaining that our old house was still chilly and drafty. I suspected they were secretly cold-blooded. But after they nagged me endlessly, I ripped off the cedar siding and found out there was no insulation in the walls. Guess who I called to fix that? Sunlight Contractors LLC, of course. The owner, Ira, and crew (Ashley, Jorge, Clayton & Alan) are very professional, courteous, and efficient throughout the whole process. They explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. They did a thorough job of sealing all the gaps and cracks in my house, and the difference is noticeable. My house feels warmer, quieter (extra benefit), and more comfortable. My family went from grumbling to melting in a matter of seconds. I highly recommend Sunlight Contractors LLC for anyone looking for quality foam insulation services. They are the best in the business.

Gail’s 5-Star Review
I chose Sunlight Contractors to do work under my home. They have done a wonderful job. They are very professional and have exceptional knowledge to fixing my issues under my home which included mold remediation, solving my moisture issue (readings up to 36% moisture level in the wood), and spraying under my home with spray foam. I am confident that the work they did will last my lifetime and I will never have to worry about moisture and mold under my floors again. The owner, Mr. Ira, talked to me personally and came to my home to make sure everything was fully explained to me and answer any and all questions I had. And when I text him, I get a prompt personal response. Clayton was the leader for my job and I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, friendly, and personable person to do the work for me. It was a very pleasant experience and would hire them again. I chose Sunlight Contractors initially because all of my online research for getting all the work done under my house, including spray foam, kept leading me back to them as the most experienced, the best reviews, and they could perform all the work needed under my home and I wouldn't have to deal with different companies. Now that they performed the work for me, I can say I made the right choice going with them and all the reviews online for them are true!

Gail’s subfloor had 36% moisture content in his wood substrate which had rotting floor joists, beams, and buckling floors. Many homeowners in Louisiana who have a crawlspace under their homes deal with mold and moisture issues due to the temperature and high humidity levels. When a crawlspace is insulated incorrectly by having fiberglass insulation installed on it, it causes the wood substrate to be saturated, and often the fiberglass insulation stays wet or moist on top of the wood substrate. This causes mold to form, threatening your home’s foundation and support system. Even if you remove just the fiberglass insulation you will never be able to dry it out below 10% unless professionally done. Mold will rot the wood out which if left untreated will cause your floor to cave in, buckle, or cause your floors to cup. Gail’s home had to undergo moisture and mold remediation including a complete renovation of replacing floor joists, beams, sills, and floors because they got the wrong information from flooring contractors who didn’t know what they were doing. You must solve the root of the problem before you replace your floors. After a complete remediation process and bringing the percentage of moisture in Gail's wooden substrate down to less than 10%, Sunlight Contractors was ready to Spray foam with full coverage 2LB closed cell. Spray foaming the crawlspace will preserve the home’s wooden substrate and we guarantee that Gail will not have mold, moisture problems, or rotting wood members for the life of the home in his crawl space.

Sunlight Contractors is a Licensed commercial, residential, and mold remediation contractor with the (LSLBC) Louisiana State Licensing Board of Contractors. We are BPI-certified Goldstar contractors and Resnet HERS Raters. We understand what works best for each home. Many homeowners in Louisiana have cellulose or batt insulation on their attic floor, which causes health issues, and mold issues and is an environment for dirt and filth to thrive. Batt insulation also contributes to high energy bills because the air is slowly leaking out of your roof and walls because it is not sealed properly. This is why open-closed-cell spray foam insulation is the most superior insulation in comparison to any other substitutes. Sunlight Contractors installs open or closed cell spray foam in the roofline removing the old dirty batt or cellulose insulation from your attic floor. This is done so the air from your HVAC unit can circulate freely around your home and is not encumbered by any obstacle inhibiting the Stack effect. Having spray foam Insulation in your roof line and insulation on your attic floor doesn’t allow the air to move freely which causes moisture problems. The insulation on your attic floor must be removed under any circumstances so your home can breathe correctly. Your HVAC unit will turn on less frequently which equates to your electric bill being a lot less and providing excellent energy efficiency. Sunlight Contractors are Master Spray foam installers and have project managers on every project. Many homeowners In Louisiana are experiencing high energy bills because their house is very leaky which is just conditioned air escaping from many different places in your home. Sunlight Contractors does a blower door test before installation and after to show you how tight we made it, and we give every homeowner an ASHRAE 62.2 (ACH) report that will show you how many changeovers of air you have. In addition, we come back 3-5 days later and perform Infrared imaging to make sure everything is sealed properly, and no areas were missed in the installation process.

Open-cell spray foam insulation in your home has many benefits that fiberglass or cellulose insulation does not have. Some of these benefits include using your HVAC system 30%-50% less which causes lower energy bills and prevents mold and mildew growth unlike batt and cellulose insulation. Spray foam insulation is not harmful to your health, it is eco-friendly, and open-cell spray foam insulation will never be eaten by pests or settle over the years as we’ve seen with cellulose insulation. When installing open-cell spray foam in the walls we spray foam out past the studs filling the wall cavity to ensure a great seal and tremendous sound prevention. After we shave the spray foam to the studs it will be sheetrock ready.
