Services
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation creates an airtight barrier that reduces energy loss by 30%-40%, lowering utility bills while strengthening building structures. This durable solution seals gaps and prevents moisture intrusion, mold growth, and noise pollution. Suitable for attics, walls, and commercial spaces, it offers R-values up to 7.0 per inch for superior thermal efficiency in Northeast Ohio's climate.
Spray Fireproofing
Spray fireproofing protects structural steel from temperatures exceeding 1100F, maintaining integrity during fires. Applied as cementitious or fibrous coatings, this passive fire protection extends safety timelines for occupant evacuation. Ideal for commercial buildings, it meets code requirements and combines with thermal insulation for dual benefits in industrial settings.
Acoustics
Acoustic treatments use sprayed cellulose and urethane foam to reduce noise transmission and reverberation. Tailored for homes, offices, and entertainment venues, these systems improve sound quality and privacy with STC ratings exceeding 50. Applications include ceiling treatments, wall insulation, and specialized sound-absorbing surfaces.
Roofing Restoration
Roof restoration extends roof lifespan by 10+ years using elastomeric coatings and polyurethane foam. This cost-effective alternative to replacement seals leaks, reflects UV rays, and improves energy efficiency. Services include metal roof waterproofing, built-up roof systems, and radiant heat barriers for flat or sloped commercial roofs.
Concrete Lifting
Concrete lifting restores uneven surfaces using high-density polyurethane foam injected beneath slabs. This minimally invasive process stabilizes foundations, eliminates trip hazards, and prevents water pooling. Ideal for driveways, sidewalks, and industrial floors, it offers immediate use post-installation with lasting results.

Report
The crew from Compass did large insulation and roof repair jobs on a newly purchased industrial building. They were patient and professional in answering my questions. They were accommodating of my schedule. The crew was friendly and worked hard. The quality of work was excellent. I am pleased with the results. It is nice to have a bright, warm and dry workspace this winter.

Report
We received estimates from three instulation service providers before choosing Compass. We chose Compass because the agent providing the estimate presented his findings and recommendations without any form of high pressure sales/marketing tactics. The agent advised us of rebates/discounts through Columbia Gas and recommended we have a Columbia Gas audit prior to having any insulation work done. We found the Columbia Gas audit useful; it aided us in moving forward with the insulation work sooner rather than later.
The instulation staff from Compass Insulation were professional, informative, timely and efficient. They cleaned up well behind themselves and they never appeared bothered by pop-up visits to observe and ask questions as they worked. We are pleased with what we have seen of the work that was done in the attic and we trust the product will live up to its reputation. Based on our experience with Compass Insulation, we high recommend their service.
