A Division of Set Apart Roofing
Set Apart Insulation is a family business in the truest sense — a father who built something worth standing behind, and a son who showed up ready to carry it forward.
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." — Romans 12:12
Founder & Owner
Dave came to Coweta County from Ohio with a clear mission: build a home services company that was genuinely different — not just in the quality of the work, but in the character behind it. Set Apart Roofing was built on that foundation, and its reputation speaks for itself through the customers who keep calling back and the neighbors who keep referring their friends.
To Dave, Set Apart has never been just a business. It's a platform to represent Christ well — through honesty when a customer doesn't need as much as they thought, through showing up when you said you would, through treating every home like it belongs to someone you care about. Because it does.
When Set Apart Insulation came to life, it wasn't just about expanding services. It was about passing something down — giving his son Jude real responsibility, real ownership, and the chance to build something of his own under the same name that Dave had worked hard to make mean something in this community.
"Our mission is to be completely transparent with every customer and to represent Christ to the best of our ability."
— Dave Gasser, Set Apart Roofing & Insulation
Operations Lead — Set Apart Insulation
Jude stepped into Set Apart Insulation right out of high school — not as an employee, but as the person running it. That's not a small thing. Dave didn't hand him a title; he handed him accountability. Real customers, real jobs, real problems to solve. And Jude showed up for it.
Day to day, Jude handles the operations of the insulation side of the business — estimates, scheduling, installations, and customer relationships. Dave is right there alongside him, mentoring, advising, and working jobs together when needed. It's a genuine partnership between a father who knows the industry and a son who's learning what it means to lead with integrity.
What Jude brings to every job is the same thing Dave built Set Apart Roofing on — a commitment to being honest even when it's inconvenient, doing the work right even when no one's watching, and treating customers the way you'd want your own family treated. Those aren't just words here. They're the standard Dave set, and the standard Jude holds himself to every single day.
Our Mission
That's not a marketing line. It's the reason Set Apart exists — and it's the standard that shapes every estimate we give, every job we take, and every conversation we have with a homeowner who's trusting us with their home.
What We Stand For
Every job is an opportunity to show what it looks like when faith actually shapes behavior — with customers, employees, and anyone we cross paths with in business.
We'll tell you when you don't need something. We'll tell you what something actually costs. We'd rather lose a job than mislead a customer — and that's not common in this industry.
We clean up. We don't cut corners. We don't disappear after a deposit. We treat your property the way we'd want someone to treat our family's home.
We live here. We're raising a family here. We're not storm chasers or door-knockers. Coweta and Fayette County is our community — and we're in it for the long haul.
Part of the Set Apart Family
Set Apart Roofing has served Coweta and Fayette County for years, building a reputation one honest job at a time. Set Apart Insulation was born from that same foundation — bringing the same transparency, craftsmanship, and faith-driven work ethic to the inside of your home.
Give us a call or fill out the form. We'll come take a look, give you an honest assessment, and tell you exactly what we'd recommend — no pressure, no oversell.
Everything you need to know about the insulation options we install — so you can make the right choice for your home.
A soft, spongy foam that expands dramatically after application — filling every crack, gap, and cavity it touches. It's the go-to choice for interior applications where soundproofing and air sealing are the priorities.
Open-cell spray foam is a two-component product — when the chemicals mix at the spray tip, they react and expand up to 100 times their liquid volume within seconds. The result is a soft, open-celled matrix of foam that fills the cavity completely, including irregular shapes, gaps around pipes, and hard-to-reach corners.
Because the cells are "open" (interconnected), air can move through the foam slowly — which is why it has a lower R-value per inch than closed-cell. However, its mass and density still create a powerful thermal barrier and an excellent air seal that dramatically reduces the energy load on your HVAC system.
After installation, it's typically trimmed flush to the framing, and the surface can be painted or covered with drywall just like a standard wall.
Expands into every crack and gap, forming a nearly perfect air barrier that prevents drafts, moisture intrusion, and allergen infiltration.
The soft, spongy matrix absorbs and dampens sound waves extremely well — noticeably quieter between rooms and from outside.
Costs roughly half as much as closed-cell per square foot, making it the budget-friendlier spray foam option for large interior areas.
Allows walls to "breathe" and dry out naturally if moisture ever gets in — important for preventing trapped moisture and mold in some climates.
Once fully cured (24–48 hours), open-cell foam is inert and safe — no ongoing chemical emissions in your living space.
Ideal for irregular stud bays, around plumbing and electrical, and in tight attic spaces where rigid insulation simply can't conform.
Open-cell is especially cost-effective when insulating large open areas like unfinished basements or bonus rooms over garages, where you need excellent air sealing but maximum R-value per inch isn't the top priority. For conditioned attics or exterior-facing walls in Georgia's climate, we often recommend closed-cell instead.
Our technicians will suit up in full protective gear and ventilate the space properly before spraying. You and your family (and pets) will need to vacate the home for at least 24 hours while the foam cures and any initial off-gassing dissipates. We seal off the work area, protect surfaces that aren't being sprayed, and apply the foam in controlled passes to ensure proper expansion and adhesion.
After curing, we'll trim any excess foam flush with the framing and clean up thoroughly. The total timeline for a typical project is 1–2 days from start to finish.
Do not re-enter the sprayed area for at least 24 hours. The curing process involves chemical off-gassing that is not safe to breathe. We'll give you a clear all-clear time before we leave. Most families return the next morning without any issues.
The highest-performing insulation product available. Closed-cell foam is rigid, dense, and completely impermeable to water and air — delivering maximum R-value in the thinnest possible profile.
Closed-cell spray foam is made from polyurethane and uses a blowing agent to create tightly-packed, closed cells — meaning each tiny bubble is sealed off from its neighbors. This makes the finished foam rigid and extremely dense (about 2 lbs per cubic foot), with cells that are filled with a gas that resists heat transfer far better than air.
The result is the highest R-value of any spray-applied insulation — typically 6 to 7 per inch — meaning you can achieve code-compliant insulation levels in half the thickness of other products. It also forms a true Class II vapor retarder, which is critical in Georgia's hot-humid climate where controlling moisture movement through walls is essential to preventing mold and rot.
Closed-cell foam also adds structural rigidity to walls and roofs — studies have shown it can increase racking strength (resistance to wind forces) by up to 300% compared to uninsulated framing.
R-6 to R-7 per inch means you need far less thickness to achieve the same thermal resistance — critical in tight spaces like cathedral ceilings.
Impermeable to water vapor and liquid water. Prevents condensation, mold, and moisture damage — especially important in Georgia's humid summers.
The rigid foam adheres to studs and sheathing, significantly increasing a wall's resistance to racking forces from wind and seismic activity.
Dense, rigid foam is extremely difficult for insects and rodents to tunnel through — a real advantage in Georgia where pests are a constant concern.
Unlike open-cell or fiberglass, closed-cell foam does not absorb water. Flood-damaged walls with closed-cell can often be dried out and saved.
The premium upfront cost typically pays back in energy savings within 3–5 years, especially in conditioned attics and exterior wall applications.
Georgia sits in a hot-humid climate zone (Zone 2–3) where managing moisture vapor is just as important as managing heat. Closed-cell foam handles both simultaneously — it keeps the heat out AND stops humid outdoor air from condensing inside your wall cavity. For exterior walls, crawl spaces, and especially conditioned attic conversions, it's our most-recommended product.
Closed-cell installation is similar to open-cell but requires even more careful preparation. Because the foam expands less and cures faster, our technicians work methodically in controlled passes to build up the desired thickness without overheating the foam. Proper thickness is critical — too thin and you don't hit the target R-value; too thick in a single pass and the foam can overheat and crack.
We typically apply closed-cell in 1–2 inch lifts, allowing each pass to cool before the next application. The total project timeline is usually 1–3 days depending on scope, and re-entry time is 24 hours after completion.
Some contractors spray closed-cell thinner than spec to reduce material costs. We always verify thickness with a depth gauge and document it for your records. To achieve R-13 in a 2x4 wall, you need approximately 2 inches of closed-cell — we never shortchange that.
Loose-fill insulation pneumatically blown into attics, wall cavities, and floors. The most affordable way to achieve significant insulation improvements — especially in existing homes where retrofit is the goal.
Blown-in insulation uses a large blowing machine that shreds bales of loose-fill material and forces it through a long hose into the target area. In open attics, the technician simply directs the hose across the floor, building up to the desired depth. In enclosed wall cavities, small holes are drilled between each stud bay, the hose is inserted, and the cavity is densely packed before patching.
The loose-fill nature of the material means it naturally conforms around obstacles like joists, pipes, and electrical boxes — filling voids that batts can't reach. It also settles slightly over time, which is why we always install it slightly thicker than the target depth to account for settling.
We offer two materials: cellulose (recycled newspaper treated with fire retardant) and fiberglass. Each has its own strengths, which we'll walk you through during your consultation.
Made from 80–85% recycled newspaper. Denser than fiberglass, better at blocking air movement, and treated with borate — a natural fire retardant that also deters insects and mold. R-value of about 3.5–3.8 per inch.
Made from spun glass fibers. Does not settle as much as cellulose, is completely moisture-resistant (won't rot or grow mold), and is slightly cheaper per bag. R-value of about 3.2–3.5 per inch. Great for very humid crawl spaces.
For most Georgia attics, we recommend cellulose for its superior air-blocking ability and eco-friendly content. For crawl spaces or any area that sees high moisture exposure, fiberglass is the safer bet. We'll make a specific recommendation after assessing your home — and we'll explain exactly why.
Significantly cheaper than spray foam, making it the right choice when budget is the primary concern or when you're insulating a very large area like a big attic.
Can be added to existing attics without removing drywall or disrupting finishes. Wall retrofit requires only small drill holes that are easily patched.
Loose fill naturally works around joists, pipes, electrical boxes, and framing irregularities that batts and boards can't accommodate.
Cellulose blown-in is made from recycled content and has among the lowest embodied energy of any insulation product.
A typical attic can be fully insulated in a single day with minimal disruption to the rest of the home.
Unlike spray foam, blown-in insulation requires no cure time. Your family can return to the home immediately after installation is complete.
Blown-in insulation is excellent for thermal resistance but does NOT provide the air sealing that spray foam does. If your attic has significant air leakage (around can lights, plumbing penetrations, top plates), we strongly recommend air-sealing those gaps with foam before blowing in the insulation — otherwise you're insulating over a leaky envelope and leaving significant energy savings on the table. We always check for this and include air sealing in our assessment.
