Upgrading Fiberglass to Cellulose Insulation in Middletown Township, NJ

A homeowner in Middletown Township, NJ, lacked proper insulation, causing discomfort, sweating ducts, moisture buildup and more. The unsealed attic led to energy loss as conditioned air leaked out. We resolved these issues by removing old insulation, sealing leaks, and filling gaps with ZypFoam sealant. After air sealing the attic, we installed cellulose insulation to an R-Value of R-60. Now, the homeowner enjoys a comfortable, energy-efficient home.

Crawl Space Insulation & Encapsulation in Middletown Township, NJ

In Middletown Township, NJ, a homeowner dealt with discomfort due to a poorly insulated crawl space, resulting in cold floors and drafty rooms. To address this, our team first applied spray foam to the rim joists, effectively reducing the cold floors. Next, we added SilverGlo insulation panels to the exterior foundation walls for a protective barrier against outside temperatures. Additionally, we installed TerraBlock foam insulation on the floor, topped with a durable 20 mil thick CleanSpace Encapsulation Liner. These improvements resulted in a significantly more comfortable and energy-efficient home environment.

Blown-in Attic Insulation in Middletown Township, NJ

The homeowner in Middletown Township, NJ, faced discomfort due to inadequate attic insulation, resulting in chilly winters and sweltering summers. Upon investigation, we discovered not only insufficient insulation but also poor air sealing in the attic. To address this, we removed the ineffective fiberglass insulation and applied ZypFoam sealant for proper air sealing. Additionally, we installed wooden retaining walls to ensure the blown-in TruSoft cellulose insulation achieved an R-value of R-60. With these improvements, the attic is now adequately insulated, significantly enhancing the comfort and energy efficiency of the home.

Crawl Space Encapsulation Improves Comfort in Middletown, NJ

During a home evaluation in Middletown, NJ, we discovered the crawl space was poorly insulated, causing cold floors and drafty rooms above. By fully encapsulating the crawl space with a durable vapor barrier, properly insulating the walls, and spray foaming the rim joists, we transformed it into a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient space. The result is warmer floors, improved comfort throughout the home, and better protection against moisture and outside air year-round.

Exposed Crawl Space Rim Joists Causing Cold Floors & Drafts in Middletown, NJ

This Middletown, NJ, homeowner was experiencing cold floors and drafts during the colder months. A previous contractor had insulated the crawl space, but our Free Home Evaluation found exposed rim joists and sill plates that were allowing cold outside air to enter the home. We spray foamed the rim joists and sill plate to help stop this cold-air infiltration and reduce drafts and cold floors. We also added 2-inch foam board with a radiant barrier to the foundation walls and installed a durable vapor barrier to further improve the crawl space.
