The year 2020 has been eventful, and we all appreciate more than ever the critical role technology plays in our lives. Although the world seems to have changed a lot, repairs and new construction that depend on SPF applications have continued. Knowledgeable Spray Foam contractors who know how to maintain their equipment and when to upgrade to stay current with industry demands are ahead of the game. This year, contractors favored some classics as well as a few newcomers to the SPF world. Here are our top 3 spray foam machines for sale in 2020.
