The Topics
Everything You Need Before You Buy Anything
Not a sales pitch for any one brand — the real considerations behind rigs, equipment, suppliers, and getting started right.
Why This Resource Exists
A Reference, Not a Sales Pitch
Real Numbers, Not Vague Ranges
Rig cost, chemical cost, PPE, training — itemized as honestly as the real variables allow, not a single flattering “starting at” figure.
Equipment Tradeoffs, Not Brand Pitches
We explain what actually separates a proportioner class or a rig configuration — not which brand to buy.
Written for Someone Actually Starting Out
Not a manufacturer spec sheet and not generic small-business advice — specific to what a new or growing spray foam operation needs to know.
Backed by Former-Contractor Experience
Written with 20+ years of Contractors Choice Agency's contractor-side experience behind it, not a single equipment vendor's marketing department.
