About us

Insulation Specialties was founded in 2004 in Watertown, South Dakota, with a single mission: to solve the real-world job site challenges that spray foam contractors face every single day.

For decades, open-cell foam trimming was an inefficient, frustrating bottleneck. Off-the-shelf tools simply were not built to handle the demands of heavy, daily foam trimming. Recognizing the urgent need for a purpose-built solution, founder Lane Hogstad leveraged over 20 years of hands-on spray foam and saw-building expertise to design an open-cell trimming saw.

Built from experience.
designed for the Trade.

Based in Watertown, South Dakota, Lane Hogstad brings more than two decades of direct spray foam spraying and custom saw manufacturing to Insulation Specialties. Knowing exactly which base saws to select, how to modify them for peak performance, and how to build them to withstand rugged job site conditions has made Lane a trusted authority in the industry.

The goal has always remained simple: to provide spray foam contractors with the most trouble-free, user-friendly, and durable trimming saws on the market.
