Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This very small attic in Bradley Beach, NJ has unfortunately been neglected, lacking proper insulation and air sealing. The attic insulation is practically non-existent, leaving the homeowner uncomfortably hot in summers and cold in winters. First things first, we'll start by air sealing the attic using ZypFoam sealant. Once the attic is properly sealed, we'll proceed to install baffle vents to ensure proper ventilation. Finally, we'll construct wooden retaining walls to contain the TruSoft cellulose insulation that we'll blow in to achieve an R-60 rating. With these improvements, the homeowner will enjoy a well-insulated and properly air-sealed attic, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency throughout their home.

This homeowner in Allenhurst, NJ had an attic that was leaking air creating hot rooms in the summer and cold rooms in the winter. We accessed the attic and found fiberglass insulation that was blown-in. Blown-in fiberglass insulation is very porous especially when it is open and exposed. After pulling up the fiberglass insulation we found the attic was not air sealed.

Our team came in and removed the old blown-in fiberglass insulation and began to air seal the attic with orange ZypFoam sealant. We also fixed the ventilation baffles as some were clogged and falling off. Once air sealed and properly ventilated we blew-in TruSoft cellulose insulation. This homeowner now has a properly insulated attic and a more comfortable and energy efficient home.

This beautiful home in Allenhurst, NJ features a stunning wraparound porch, but it was also the source of major leaks. With no insulation in the porch ceiling (or overhang), outside air was leaking in, and costly conditioned air was leaking out. When we opened up the overhang, we found no insulation at all; just empty space allowing year-round discomfort. Our expert team installed SilverGlo foam boards along the overhang walls and carefully sealed all seams and gaps to stop air movement. Because this area supports the second floor, the lack of insulation was also causing cold floors in winter and hot, stuffy rooms in summer. After insulating and sealing the space, we restored the porch ceiling, helping the homeowner enjoy greater comfort and lower energy bills.

This is a major health, safety and fire issue!!

Luckily our expert crew discovered this issue during a full home air sealing and insulation project. The crew repaired the flue, restoring the proper venting of combustion gases.

In Highlands, NJ, many crawl spaces, like this one, need our expertise. Poor insulation causes cold floors in winter and drafty rooms, while in summer, hot, humid air enters through the stack effect, leading to mold, dry rot, and other problems. We specialize in insulating neglected crawl spaces to ensure year-round comfort and energy efficiency. Our solutions include installing SilverGlo foam boards on walls, spray foaming exposed rim joists, and encapsulating dirt floors with CleanSpace liner. These measures greatly enhance homeowner comfort and efficiency.
