Charlie: John in Sour Lake, Tom.
Tom: Yeah.
Charlie: He says, what’s the cost difference roughly, because I know you can’t give us an exact number here, between foil and spray coating under the roof deck? I think he’s talking radiant barrier. He wants his new house to be energy efficient, but he has to be prudent on cost. He wants your advice.

Tom:The spray’s always going to be cheaper. What the difference is I can’t tell you. Having the labor cost, especially now … If you put somebody in the attic now you’re going to have to go through three bodies and you’re going to have to call a few hearses to pull them out of the attic. Stapling up radiant barrier is expensive because it’s time consuming so there’s labor involved. Having someone go up there and spray it in a few hours is always going to be less expensive. He says he wants to be prudent.
Charlie: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Tom:He wants to do it the least cost and get the biggest bang for his buck.
Charlie: Sure.
Tom: Just use the spray.
