Anyone know how much they charge per square foot to come shoot that
liquid foam onto the underside of a metal roof? The two element foam
that expands and then hardens. About 1,100 square feet.

It depends upon the economy where you live. Ask around.
Spraying it between wall studs requires an extra step of sawing it flush
with the face of the studs so that wallboard can be nailed to the studs.
Do you need that step?

AN experienced installer can make the "sawing" a virtually
non-existant step.



Even an inexperienced installer, like me, can do the same. Just don't fill
the space with enough foam to blossom out to the faces of the studs. I've
seen a lot of home improvement shows where those 'experienced' foam
installers have to saw the excess off.
What's the point if you don't fill the spaces to the maximum?

And what's the point if it is a metal roof that is not going to be
sheetrocked or covered on the inside in any way?

Do you get it now?

No ?
