Before & After Photos

This homeowner reached out to us saying that she had high energy bills and was cold in her home. As a result, she wanted to have her attic re-insulated. Luckily, we had the perfect solution for this customer. 

In this solution, we first have to remove the old fiberglass batt insulation, as well as the plywood in the attic. Once the attic was cleaned, we started on air sealing the attic with Zypfoam one part spray foam. This seals all cracks and crevices in the attic floor. We then used a long hose attached to a machine that blows our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation into the attic. TruSoft™ cellulose is able to fill all gaps and odd-shaped voids, as it is blown in insulation.

Now, this homeowner will have a much more comfortable home!

This homeowner in Southwick, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him replace his drop ceiling. We had previously insulated his home, and when he was ready to replace the drop ceiling, he reached back out. 

To install a drop ceiling, we had to first figure out what the grid needed to be for the framing. Once that was set, we install the wall molding and metal framing. Then, we install the ceiling tiles. Our basement drop ceiling tiles are 2' x 2' x 3/4"-thick. They are water resistant and are created from inorganic minteral fibers. Now, this homeowner has a beautiful new drop ceiling in his finished basement! 

This homeowner in Westfield, MA wanted the floors in their home to be warmer.  As is often the case, the rim joist was not insulated.  An uninsulated rim joist allows cold air to leak into the basement in the winter which makes the floors above cold.  Our team installed our two part expanding spray foam on the rim joist and over the sill plate to insulate and seal all air leaks.  The homeowner was very happy to have warmer floors as well as lower heating costs. 

This homeowner in Westfield, MA called us out to help reduce her ice dams. What we noticed right when we pulled in was that the house was a cape cod construction home. These houses are notorious for leaking air because of the way that they are built. One of the problems is the knee walls. To fix this problem, we have to insulate this space. To start, we block the floor bay in order to stop air from getting into the floors. Then we put runs of our silverglo EPS foam board, making sure to air seal in between each sheet. Once we get up to the top we do our upper blocking to make this space is air tight. Now that we have completed this project, this home is one step closer to reducing those nasty ice dams!

This home owner in Westfield, MA called us out because he was having ice dams in the winter. This is not a good sign. Ice dams can ruin a home and cost ten of thousands in repairs. The reason these dams are occurring is because the heat you pay for rises up into the attic and heats the roof deck to over 32 degrees, melting the snow. The snow runs down the roof until it gets to the gutters and re-freezes making a dam. To stop this from happening, we must air seal this home. We will stop the hot air from getting into your attics by sealing every single gap, crack, and penetration from the conditioned space to the attic. Once we have this done the house is one step closer to being ice dam free!
