Sulphur was built on top of what was once called the richest sulfur deposit in the world, and a good share of the homes from that boom era are still standing with the same drafty stud bays and vented attics they had when sulfur money ran the city.

Built for Gulf Coast humidity and storm rebuilds
Sulphur homes sit close to the industrial corridor and carry a lot of older, leaky housing stock. Retrofitting spray foam into those attics and walls is one of the fastest ways to cut a summer power bill and keep humid outdoor air from soaking the interior.
The Frasch process that built this city pumped superheated water underground to melt sulfur and pull it to the surface, and it made Sulphur one of the wealthiest small cities in the country before the deposit ran dry in the late 1920s. Most of the housing built through that boom, and through the decades right after it, used the same uninsulated stud bays and vented rooflines common to the era, construction that never sealed out Gulf Coast humidity in the first place. Retrofitting those cavities with spray foam is the single biggest efficiency upgrade available in a Sulphur home that old, short of a full gut renovation.
Sulphur's economy shifted from sulfur mining to the industrial plants that now run along the corridor toward the Ship Channel, and a lot of that facility square footage is metal building construction. Uninsulated steel takes a beating from condensation and radiant heat everywhere on the Gulf Coast, and it is worse on a building that runs shift work around the clock, since the roof and walls never get an overnight break to shed heat before the next shift starts.
Between the older residential streets and the newer industrial footprint, Sulphur is really two different retrofit jobs wearing one city name. We quote them differently, because a 1920s stud-bay wall and a 2020s metal warehouse call for different foam and different access.
Seal the hottest part of your house. Foam the roof deck and stop the attic from baking your living space.

A lot of what we see dates back to the sulfur-boom years and the decades right after, built with the leaky stud-bay and vented-attic construction standard for that era. None of it was built with a real air seal, so a retrofit into the existing wall and attic cavities is usually the fastest efficiency gain available short of a gut renovation.
Yes, that is regular commercial work for us. A shift-work facility never gets the overnight cooldown a standard office building does, so we size the closed-cell foam to hold up under that constant load rather than the lighter duty cycle most metal buildings see.
In most cases, yes. We access wall cavities and attics from the attic side, the crawl space, or drilled access points, which keeps the retrofit from turning into a full interior demolition.
