Foambid ProFoambid ProBuilt by a contractor who sprays it. Foambid Pro covers the whole job — not just the estimate — in one system that speaks the trade’s own language: board feet, sets, lifts, and yield.
Foam goes on in lifts, and every product has a max lift — the most it can safely be sprayed in one pass. That single fact changes the chemical, the schedule, and the price. Software that only knows square footage can’t see any of it.
A closed-cell product rated for 2″ per pass needs three passes to fill a 5.5″ wall. One rated for 4″ needs two. Passes cost chemical — the first inch of every pass yields worse — and a third pass often waits until tomorrow, which turns a one-day job into a two-day job with a second day of rig time and overhead.
Foambid Pro prices all of it: the lift plan, the extra chemical, and the extra spray day — from each product’s own max lift and cure behavior.
The pricebook ships with real products imported from manufacturers’ published technical data sheets — densities, yields, max lifts, R-values. And every field carries its provenance: a manufacturer’s published figure, an industry operating default, or an estimate. A number that can’t be traced is labeled as such — never quietly presented as fact.
Catalog data comes from publicly published technical data sheets. It does not imply any manufacturer partnership or endorsement.
The proposal your customer receives can carry real choices — scope options priced side by side, the code path named, thermal and ignition barriers as honest line items rather than surprises. Templates are fully editable, and the same bid can speak homeowner or builder.
The software names the compliance path and attaches the documentation. It never declares that an assembly passes — that verdict belongs to the inspector, and a tool that pretends otherwise puts the contractor’s name at risk.
Job details travel with the crew — scope, product, thickness, what the office assumed. Conditions get confirmed on arrival, sets get logged in quarters the way crews actually think, and the post-job entry closes it out: material used, photos, depth checks, and how the job really went. Built for gloves, built for no signal.
The field app works offline and syncs when the truck finds signal. Sample data throughout.
Every job gets scored — access, hose run, prep burden, conditions — into a tier from Green to Black. The tier carries through the whole system: labor multipliers and yield derates in the price, honest time on the schedule, and a scale for crew performance plans.
Walk-in access, short hose, empty building. The job the rest get measured against.
Occupied space, real masking, a longer pull. Same gun time — slower everything else.
Tight crawls, long hose runs, winter schedules. Productivity drops and yield follows.
Lifts, night work, hostile logistics. Fine work — if the bid admits what it is.
A shop that bids everything at Green wins the brutal jobs at a loss without knowing it. The rubric knows they’re harder; the tier makes sure the bid does too.
When the work order closes, reconciliation lays the bid against what actually happened — material, hours, conditions — so the gap has an explanation instead of a shrug.
And because bids record how every input was resolved — which pricebook version, which yield figure, which difficulty rubric — you can pull up a job from last spring and reconstruct exactly why it priced the way it did. That matters for disputes, for change orders, and for finding out why a job lost money.
Pay plans built on the same data the rest of the system runs on: labor efficiency against the difficulty-adjusted budget, material efficiency gated on depth checks, scaled by tier — so the hard jobs are worth spraying well. Payroll export shapes the figures for your provider; Foambid Pro computes and hands off, it never runs payroll.
Design preview — in design, not yet shipping
No two foam shops price, propose, or pay the same way — and most software punishes them for it. In Foambid Pro the defaults are starting points, not rules:
Owner-defined, organization-scoped, and versioned — so a setting changed in April never rewrites what March’s jobs said.
Foambid Pro is built by Gage Jaeger, a working spray foam contractor. He already ships Foambid — the SPF estimating app live today on iOS and Android at $39.99/month — because he needed it and nobody else had built it.
Pro is the same instinct pointed at the whole business. The quarter-set picker, the pass logic, the provenance labels — none of it came from a product manager’s guess. It came from bidding jobs at night and spraying them the next morning.
