It seems like I was born an insulator, but I started out in the retrofit market in 1981. Utilizing my carpentry skills, I installed Cellulose and Mineral Rock Wool into residential and commercial buildings. Within several years my business grew and as an independent contractor, my crew and I served our customers for over 20 years.
As a subcontractor, FOAMCO was my largest account. After several years of a working relationship and by the grace of God, we mutually agreed to take the arrangement to the next level and my crew and I joined FOAMCO. We have been part of the team ever since.

The man we think of as our Air Traffic Controller, Dave Vasseur is responsible for assuring that we meet our commitments for on time installation of our Spray Foam.
In considertaion of the variables that affect scheduling, such as weather and the changing needs of our customers, Dave does a great job under difficult odds and exhibits grace under fire. His goal of 100% customer satisfaction is always evident in his work.
Having owned his own framing business for 8 years, Dave is comfortable with blueprints no matter how complex. He also does the take-offs utilizing estimating software as well as REM/Design, a program that calculates the energy savings of Spray Foam as compared to fiberglass.

When not estimating or giving the customers the best advice he has to offer concerning upgrading their insulation, Dave is an avid golfer, serious Bowler and Hunting enthusiast.
Even though I have lived and worked my entire life here in Orange County, I still appreciate the tranquility and beauty of the area. Sad to see the farms disappearing , but the area is growing and people need a place to live.
Dave’s laid back disposition makes him the perfect partner and compliment to Dale, somewhat less laid back, should we say? |

Tracey Rankin is the person you are most likely to speak with first when calling Foamco. She has been with the company for 12 years and handles all administrative aspects as well as assisting the estimators and Dave Vasseur in scheduling. |
Before joining FOAMCO, Rich was a staff level Quality Improvement Manager with Philips, a multinational Dutch company.
Many of the big business concepts are readily adapted to small business like FOAMCO, such as a systems approach to doing things. In a normal business environment, it is easy to loose sight of the company goals for improvement, however in a highly competitive market climbing slowly out of a recession, it is just not an option. Systematic improvement, such as controlling costs and introducing new products benefits the company as well as the customers we partner with and there is a great need to stay focused on these objectives to name a few.
Everything in business should be subject to scrutiny to see if what you implemented years ago is still relevant to what you do today. Times change and FOAMCO is a dynamic, growing company that is embracing the Green Movement wholeheartedly for example. Having grown up in the sixties and now working for an environmentally conscious company that sells Green products, which have a direct impact on the future of the planet is very gratifying Rich will tell you. Better yet, our entire team here is fully committed to this national and international effort to reduce our carbon footprint. We all have children and some of us grandchildren and they will inherit what we leave behind.
Interests outside of work include motorcycles, custom cars, photography and collecting anything that has the potential for a quick repair and re-cycling. Some people call it junk.

Having started in the foam business in 1994, by 1997 Jay was seen on the This Old House. Having joined FOAMCO in 2000 as a Spray Technician, he is an example of how hard work pays off and is the senior person in the sales department.
While working as an Energy Consulatant is physically less demanding, long hours are needed to meet the customers needs and stay educated about the latest Green products being introduced into the market. His passion for educating people about the cost savings benefits of foam is summed up with the phrase he came up with, “Anything Less will Cost you More”!
In his spare time, Jay manages youth travel baseball leagues and tournaments and is a certified A.B.U.A umpire. |
