Tried spray foam myself vs hiring a crew for my garage in Edmonton

I did my own spray foam in a small 12x20 garage last summer and it was a total mess. The kits from the store cost me around $400 but the coverage was uneven and I ended up with drips everywhere. My neighbour hired a crew for his similar sized space and it was $1200 but came out perfect and sealed tight. Has anyone else had better luck with the DIY kits or should I just pay pros from now on?

Blame the installer not the kit, tons of guys nail it themselves in cold shops.

Heard from a guy at the lumber yard that the DIY foam expands different in cold weather. Edmonton's climate messes with the cure time. Probably explains the drips and uneven spots you got.
