Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This customer's front wall was getting hit with direct wind because his home was facing a lake in Ocean Grove, NJ. It was leaving his home uncomfortable because they could feel a draft while sitting in their living room right inside the wall. It was also across from a busy main street in Asbury, so it sometimes got kind of loud in the house from across the street. Dense packing the wall will both seal and insulate the wall, stopping any draft or other effects from the harsh winds. It will also reduce the noise the customers are dealing with from across the street from the shops and leave them feeling more comfortable in their home.

Densely packing cellulose inside the wall from outside of the home is simple and not destructive. You can easily remove a row of siding and drill a hole in the wood below to access the cavities. Then, after you are done you can just plug the hole and reinstall the siding without a problem.

A kneewall in Ocean Grove, NJ was allowing conditioned air to escape into the kneewall while also pulling outside air in, contributing to uncomfortable rooms on the second floor. To address this, we installed rigid foam board along the roofline with a radiant barrier and added draft blocking at the floor level to stop outside air from infiltrating the space while keeping conditioned air where it belongs. By properly insulating and air sealing the kneewall, we’ve helped prevent both energy loss and unwanted air leakage, improving comfort throughout the home.

During our free home evaluation in Ocean Grove, NJ, we discovered that the attic had not been air sealed and was poorly insulated. These issues were causing significant air leaks and reducing the home’s comfort and efficiency. To fix this, we sealed all top plates, gaps, cracks, and plumbing and wiring penetrations with foam sealant, stopping conditioned air from escaping into the attic. Once the air sealing was complete, we installed TruSoft cellulose insulation, bringing the attic up to the recommended R-60 level. As a result, the home is now more comfortable, and the homeowner is enjoying lower energy bills.

During our free inspection in Ocean Grove, NJ, we found that the can lights were leaking conditioned air into the attic. The attic also had inadequate insulation and lacked proper air sealing. By sealing the top plates and all wire and pipe penetrations, we were able to tighten up the home. We installed can light covers and sealed them with foam to stop air leaks. Once everything was sealed, we blew in TruSoft cellulose insulation to the optimal R-60 level. The “after” photo was taken before we added the full amount of insulation. Now, the homeowner enjoys a more comfortable home and lower monthly bills.

A homeowner in Long Branch, NJ, had a small little attic that was poorly insulated. With inadequate insulation this owner was dealing with cold and drafty rooms in the winter and stuffy and hot rooms in the summer. After inspecting the attic we also noticed the attic was not properly air sealed. We air sealed the attic floors, sealed any leaky ducts, used wooden retaining walls and sealed the wooden decking while blowing-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to the optimal R-60 value. The homeowner now has a properly insulated attic, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.
