Our Story
Founded and led by Wayne Baker, Thermal Resistance began with a mission to deliver insulation services that go beyond basic installation. After years in the construction industry, Wayne saw firsthand how poor insulation and fragmented contractor work led to higher energy bills and structural problems. That’s why we created a full-service approach, offering spray foam, batt, cellulose, Rockwool, fire retardant coatings, vapor barriers, and professional painting all under one roof.
