Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Our customer in Spring Lake, NJ contacted us for their poorly insulated attic. The homeowner’s were experiencing uncomfortable and drafty rooms. A poorly insulated attic floor allows heat from your living space to be lost to the outdoors through the vented attic.

Our complete Attic SuperDeck treatment is an innovative solution that air seals and insulates the top of your home while providing the maximum storage space possible.

Looking at the before picture we can see plywood and wooden planks over the attic floor. If the ceiling joists are not filled with insulation we then use our TruSoft cellulose insulation to fill them in. Next our team installed 4 inch rigid insulation foam boards called SilverGlo. Our SilverGlo is installed across the bulk of the attic floor and sealed to provide an R-41 value of insulated storage decking.

Finally as seen in the after picture we use wood sheets that are installed with special long screws over the SilverGlo to complete this project. The results create a much warmer, more comfortable home, lower fuel and electric bills, home easier to heat and cool, lots of attic storage.

This homeowner in Spring Lake, New Jersey was experiencing cold floors and drafty rooms on the first floor. After inspecting the basement, we found the rim joists were exposed and not properly insulated. By properly spray foaming the rim joists, we can seal these areas and stop outside air from leaking in through the bottom of the home. When cold air enters through the rim joists, it often leads to cold floors and uncomfortable drafts in the rooms above. Properly sealing and insulating the rim joists helps improve comfort, boost energy efficiency, and lowers energy bills.

In Spring Lake, NJ, this homeowner’s attic lacked adequate insulation and proper air sealing, while leaky duct connections at the trunk were allowing conditioned air to escape. In summer, expensive cooled air leaked into the attic, and in winter, valuable heat escaped through cracks and gaps—driving up energy bills and causing discomfort year-round. To solve this, we air-sealed the attic, decking, and entrance framing, added weather stripping, and installed a David Lewis Hatch Cover to eliminate leaks at the pull-down stairs. We also sealed the ducts, built wooden retaining walls, and blew in TruSoft cellulose insulation to the optimal R-60 level. The result is a properly insulated and sealed attic that now keeps conditioned air where it belongs, lowering energy costs and delivering greater comfort.

These customers floors were too cold. Their rim joist (the floor's framing system) was barely protected from air passing through the gaps between the wood because there was just a thin piece of fiberglass stuck up there. This left the basement and the floors above it to always feel colder than the rest of the house. Dr. Energy Saver has a simple solution to this prevelant issue, we spray over 2" of closed cellspray foam over the joist to ensure that no air can move between the boards.

In Oceanport, NJ, a homeowner was dealing with fluctuating temperatures, drafty rooms, and high energy bills. Our team air sealed the attic, encapsulated the leaky ducts with rigid foam boards featuring a radiant barrier, built a deck for easy access to the mechanicals, and upgraded the attic insulation to an optimal R-60 level. Now, the home stays comfortable year-round, and the homeowner is enjoying lower energy bills thanks to a tighter, more efficient building envelope.
