Curt Janzen is a co-owner of Beyond Group, a leading spray foam insulation and specialty contracting company based in Calgary, Alberta. With over two decades of experience in the construction industry, Curt has become an expert in the field of insulation. In 2000, as Curt was a site superintendent for a home builder, overseeing the installation of a rim joist insulation package on every home, he quickly became aware that very few contractors did this work and that they charged an awful lot to do it. These challenges inspired him to team up with his brother-in-law, Kevin Boschee, to establish Beyond Foam Insulation Ltd. Today, they are a reputable company with a team of experienced and qualified contractors who provide efficient, cost-effective and reliable insulation solutions to residential and commercial clients in Calgary and the surrounding areas.
